“Izzie was a great dogsitter (even with the complications of heatwaves!) Maple really enjoyed going to her house and following her around everywhere! Izzie sent us pictures and updates which was great for my dog mum anxiety.”
“Laylee is absolutely amazing with my 11 week old puppy Flo. She loves her and feels safe and secure with her around. She has helped me greatly with her continued crate and potty training whilst I started my first week back at work. Keeping an eye on the ques for needing to go outside and when she needs a nap. Very trustworthy and we will definitely be seeing her again!! Thanks Laylee !! Ure a life and sanity saver!!”
“Ellie looked after my cats with ease. Updating me throughout and making sure they were fed, played with and taken care of completely! My cats love her and I would recommend her to anyone needing a sitter and I’d 100% book her again! Thanks so much x”
“Margret was amazing with Kibo. He really loved her straight away and enjoyed his day. He loved playing tug and had a nice walk. He currently has a sore paw 🐾 but Margret was very careful looking after him. She was punctual and very professional. I would recommend her highly to anyone looking for quality care.”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my lifelong experience caring for dogs. Since I was young, I’ve been looking after dogs for neighbors and family members, so I’ve developed a natural ability to bond with them quickly. I can easily earn their trust and engage them in playful activities, making them feel comfortable and happy while in my care. I work part-time, only three days a week, which gives me a very flexible schedule for pet care. This allows me to dedicate plenty of time to walking, playing, feeding, and giving pets the attention they need. Whether it’s daily check-ins, extended stays, or last-minute requests, I can easily adjust my routine to accommodate the needs of both pets and their owners. I only offer pet sitting in my home, as I prioritize my personal safety and feel more comfortable caring for pets in a familiar environment. My home provides a spacious and secure area where pets can move around freely, play, and feel at ease. I ensure a clean, comfortable, and pet-friendly space, giving them plenty of attention, exercise, and affection while their owners are away.
About: I’ve taken care of friends and family pets since I was young, looking after a range of animals from horses to hamsters! I have grown up with cats and dogs in the house and for the last 4 years have been the owner of 5 guinea pigs, one who was an RSPCA rescue. Along with our cockapoo Bart who we have had since an 8 week old puppy, who I trained and is now a very well behaved boy! I currently work within the NHS in an admin role 3 days a week. This is local to home and my days and hours are flexible so I can be on hand for pet sitting services/drop in care when required. I will follow your needs and requirements to ensure you and your pet are comfortable and at ease and kept to their usual routine. I am an honest and trustworthy person who has only your pets best interests at heart.
“I would recommend Adam to anyone looking for a sitter for their dog. He absolutely made our time away a stress free experience as we knew Stamford was well looked after. Really helped us relax and enjoy our holiday He gave daily updates with pictures, such a lovely touch. And always super responsive to any messages or requests. He genuinely cares about your animals and treats them as if they are his own. Again I can’t recommend his services enough, you won’t regret it. We definitely will be using him again.”
About: I have taken care of my family dog ever since we got her as a pup 10 years ago, she is a beautiful Newfoundland cross Poodle. I would regularly take care of her walking, feeding, bathing when I was on breaks from University. I am now working from home full time so it would be very easy for me to care for a pet all hours of the day. I like to keep active and go for a morning walk before starting work every day and on my lunch also. I have a decent sized outdoor space with brick walls and a locked gate. There are also 3 large rooms downstairs so plenty of space for a dog to play/rest.
“Anna was great. quick responses. Accomodating with the meet and greet changing to a day more suitable to us. Frequent updates while we were away with pictures and videos. Tidied up after herself. Listened to all requests made by us about caring for our dog. And most importantly was a lovely person and our dog seemed perfectly happy. Wouldn't want anyone else to dog sit in future we will 100% be rebooking with her.”
About: Having lost my own dog in December 2025, and not being ready to replace her, I have returned to housesitting as a way to enjoy the company of pets. Eddie (my dog) and I spent several years housesitting around Europe. In that time we looked after dogs and cats (and even a donkey!) in varying quantities and sizes. I can provide your pet with both its usual routine and some added enrichment to ease any separation anxiety. I am used to giving medication and have a good knowledge of animal health to be able to spot any problems early and get the veterinary care needed. I am a non-smoker, clean and tidy and very respectful of other people's homes. I have my own car and can travel throughout the UK (and overseas) - not just the 60 mile limit that the site puts on my profile! I work for myself on a part time basis from my laptop so will spend a good amount of time around the house to ensure everything and everyone is taken care of. Housesitting started out as a way for me to travel and explore Europe to find a new place to live - but I have fallen in love with the lifestyle and find it incredibly rewarding - both to see happy pets, and delighted owners when they return. I'm new to Rover, but I have several 5* reviews and repeat clients that can vouch for my trustworthiness and the standard of care your beloved pets will receive. I am happy to adapt my daily routine to suit your pet's needs. As long as I can enjoy my morning coffee, then I can be flexible on the rest! I prefer to arrive at least 24 hours before you travel so that I have the opportunity to go through your pet's daily routine, share a walk with you and get to know how everything in your house works.
About: Ben has had dogs from a young age including 3 springer spaniels trained from puppies. One of those being a rescue from the age of 2 to senior age. Both of us (Ben & Jess) are used to looking after senior dogs on a regular basis but also used to energetic breeds that love to be outside on walks. Jess works full time in a school but is available during school holidays and at weekends. Ben can work remote and this is flexible during the week. Ben can also do weekends regularly. We have a private house with large fences and a garden for pets to use if boarding here is required. We have looked after dogs for up to 3 weeks at a time in a pet owners home. We understand the daily needs of pets during the day and how important exercise and attention means during the day.
About: We are experienced dog sitters with plenty of love to give! We both work remotely from home so we can offer your dog our full attention and spoil them silly! We have a mixed Bichon at home with us (DouDou) who is very calm and docile. We have experience dog sitting for and owning various breeds our entire lives. Rai is home based, studying online and working occasional evenings. Carly is in the office Tues-Thursday and available every evening, so one or both of us will always be around to keep your pet company as needed! We love hiking and running as much as a chill day at home on the couch so can offer your dog the best of both worlds! We have a fenced garden with grass for toilets breaks and lots of games, as well as a park just 5 minutes away for a chance to enjoy the outside. We’re a pets-on-furniture household but can accommodate if you’re training them not to.
About: I’ve grown up with both cats and dogs, so i’m comfortable caring for pets with different personalities and needs. I also regularly help family by looking after their dogs, including walking, feeding, and playing with them. I enjoy spending time with pets and getting to know them!! I am a student who loves football and family! This means I plan my time carefully and only accept bookings I can fully commit to. I’m currently on summer break, so I have more time to look after and get to know more pets!! When caring for a pet in their owner’s home or while on a walk, it is important to follow their routine and owner’s instructions to help their pet feel comfortable and safe, as I know each pet is different and requires specific attention. I am happy to provide updates and photos so owners can feel confident that their pet is in good hands. Lastly, I will make sure they get lots of attention and playing time!!
“Excellent sitter for our two dogs. Nathan is polite, professional and a very good communicator Nathan has dog sat out two dogs this week Both my dogs are very happy with Nathan and we’re happy leaving Nathan with our dogs . We will definitely be asking Nathan to dog sit again soon👍”
About: I’ve had pets of my own for over 40 years and truly treat every dog like family. I love spending time outdoors and enjoy long walks, playtime, and making sure dogs feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I recently lost my two senior dogs and would absolutely love the company of another furry companion! I am a teacher so due to my schedule, I am free evenings, weekends and school holidays to look after and entertain your beloved pets! Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a calm, clean, and pet-friendly home where dogs are treated with the best possible care. I’m attentive to routines, instructions, and any special needs to ensure peace of mind while you’re away. I have a medium sized fenced garden and a huge meadow right by my house, perfect for big walks and lots of exercise!
“Molly was so lovely with Tallulah who settled with her straight away. Got lots of pics and Molly was brilliant at communicating from start to finish. Very highly recommend as a kind and caring dog or house sitter.”
About: I have personal experience looking after cats and dogs, ranging from young cats aged 6 months+ and older strays. I have helped with stressful situations such as distracting my friends pets when they seem distressed, taking their dogs on daily walks and handling their food and water. Additionally, I have experience minding animals who have separation anxiety and guard dogs, therefore I have common understanding on how to approach protective animals. I have currently finished my second year at college, therefore I am free for work and can work multiple shifts a week, whenever I am required. I am highly passionate towards animals and therefore will be consistent with the care I provide, meaning that I can care for pets who may need extra attention.
“Thank you so much Emma for looking after Dixie, Benny and the fish! 😆 Emma kept me updated the whole time I was away. She was so caring with Dixie taking her for lots of walks and giving her loads of cuddles and attention. I wouldn’t hesitate to have Emma pet sit for me again. Thank you.”

Outstanding service and communication, couldn't be happier. Michelle looked after my cat at very short notice when my mum was taken into hospital - it was so reassuring for her to take the reigns and sort everything out. She has since catsit again and understands that my cat is very shy and prefers to be left alone.
We had such a lovely experience with Mia and Megan looking after our two dogs for the weekend. It was our first time using them, and they both made us feel so comfortable leaving the dogs in their care. They kept us updated throughout the weekend with messages and lovely pictures, and it was clear how happy and well looked after the dogs were. They took them on lots of walks and gave them plenty of attention and care. We really appreciated how kind, caring and thoughtful they both were, and the regular updates gave us such peace of mind while we were away. We wouldn’t hesitate to use Mia and Megan again and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for caring and trustworthy dog sitters! 🐾❤️
Laylee is absolutely amazing with my 11 week old puppy Flo. She loves her and feels safe and secure with her around. She has helped me greatly with her continued crate and potty training whilst I started my first week back at work. Keeping an eye on the ques for needing to go outside and when she needs a nap. Very trustworthy and we will definitely be seeing her again!! Thanks Laylee !! Ure a life and sanity saver!!
Sarah house sat our rescue dog for a long weekend and she nothing but attentive, communicative and looked after our house so well. Our dog can be a bit wary and anxious around new people but when we’d received images of her cuddling up to Sarah within a matter of hours, we knew we’d hit gold! I’d have no hesitation in booking her again.
Anna was incredible with our Belgian Mali, Spaniel and cat. Our Mali is flighty and Anna handled him so easily with lots of care. We were so grateful to be able to go away knowing the pets were all so well looked after and our home was left spotless. We received gorgeous pics. I would 100% recommend Anna.
Abigail provided excellent care for our two labradors. She loved cuddling and playing with our attention seeking dogs. Great communication throughout her stay and 100% trustworthy. She has a clear passion and love of dogs and has experience with larger breeds. Would 100% recommend her services and we will use again.
This was the first time we left our chihuahuas to go on holiday. We rescued them 9 months previous and have been anxious about leaving them. But we had nothing to worry about as Danni was just fabulous. They loved their time with her. I was sent regular updates which really helped me manage my separation anxiety! Videos of waggy tails and happy girlies. Danni left our home spotless. She was the perfect dog sitter to trust to look after our precious babies. We will be booking her again for a few months time as we now feel comfortable to accept a wedding invite for overseas in a few months time.
Could not be happier with the care that Jess provided for Mabel whilst we were away. We received pictures and updates whilst we were away and the house was kept tidy throughout her stay. She had also put a wash on when we arrived back. Would not hesitate to book her house sitting services again, which we will hopefully do next April. Full recommended. 5 star award.

FAQs for House Sitting – Trafford
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Trafford on Rover is £26.75 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Post & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Rubbish & recycling: Taking bins out on scheduled rubbish collection days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best time to agree on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a 'home cheat sheet' that includes your preferred Trafford walking routes, the location of your favourite pet shop, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes dedicated customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement programme for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to £25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover must pass an identity verification before they can list their services. An identity verification confirms that the sitter is who they say they are based on their documents.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to £25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit our Trust & Safety page .
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Trafford choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a key safe or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest vet. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorisation form for your regular vet. An authorisation form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
