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!
About: I’m a dog lover with two friendly 9-year-old dogs of my own. I have years of hands-on experience caring for dogs through all life stages, from playful puppies to relaxed seniors. Daily walks, outdoor time, and plenty of attention are part of our routine. I understand the importance of exercise, stimulation, and downtime, and I always make sure dogs in my care feel safe, happy, and well looked after. For added peace of mind, I hold comprehensive pet care insurance and am trained in Canine Pet First Aid, so your dog will be cared for safely and professionally at all times. My main availability is at weekends for dog walking and sitting. I can also accommodate weekday bookings for walks or overnight sitting with advance notice, particularly for longer or pre-arranged stays. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my priority. I have a fully enclosed garden for secure outdoor time, and two small, friendly dogs who can provide companionship and help your dog settle in and feel relaxed in a welcoming home environment.
“Katie was awesome. Sent photos and updates at every visit, always let us know how our cat was doing. Extremely easy to work with. Will definitely book Katie again and would highly recommend to others.”
About: I’m a lifelong dog lover and current owner of Seamus the Sprockerpoo. I grew up with collies and labradors, and I love going on long, energetic walks. I'm currently on teacher summer holidays so I'm available throughout the day for walks, toilet breaks and meal times, I can cater to your dog's schedule. I have a fenced garden with a friendly male sprockerpoo for company, with quick access to the canal for walks. Dogs have access to the whole house.
About: I have been fortunate to own and care for many dogs throughout my whole life. From puppies to seniors, I have experience with many different breeds and temperaments. I look after family and friends dogs and have the time, patience and space to provide a home from home when their owners are away. I’m semi retired and only work a few hours a week from home; so I have plenty of time to play, walk and be there for your dog. I’m available 7 days a week. I live in a detached house with a large secured front and back garden. There’s plenty of space for your dog to roam around freely, sniff and explore. Our furry guests are always supervised when out playing in the garden. We live near some lovely open spaces and scenic walks.
About: I have a 2 year old cockapoo who myself and my husband have raised from 8 weeks old. He is very well trained and gets along with anyone, aswell as other dogs. Both myself and my husband have grown up with dogs and have always been around them. Your pet will receive plenty of love and attention from us. I work from home 3 days a week so I can work pet sitting into my routine very easily. There are a lot of local parks within walking distance so I can give your dog a walk in the day as well as after work alongside my own dog. I live in a spacious 2 bed flat with an enclosed private garden so your dog will have plenty of opportunities to go to the toilet. I have my own car so I'm happy to do pick ups and drop offs if required. I live with my husband Tom who will also be helping with the care of your pet and assist with walks. I have a crate if your dog needs it. I live in a flat so I won't be able to take in large dogs unfortunately. Small and medium dogs are perfect and will be in great company with my friendly cockapoo. I have an enclosed private garden so your dog will be safe with me. If you would like to come and visit before making a booking, that can be arranged for you to know your dog will be left in the best place.
“Bob is an anxious terrier, he really needs to bond with someone to trust them. He is very discerning and also a bit needy. He has developed an amazing bond with Jess in a very short space of time. Jess has been amazing: helpful with dates for my work schedule and incredibly calm and patient with Bob. It’s clear he is very fond of her already ❤️ Jess has a lovely calming manner and asks all the right questions to make sure Bob is feeling secure and loved in her care. Highly Recommend. Jess has been absolutely brilliant.”
“Melissa dropped by a few days before looking after Rory, our cat, and was really lovely and friendly. She visited and fed Rory everyday at the time we requested, and even did an extra visit in the hot weather to check he was ok. Would definitely recommend.”

About: I have grown up with dogs all my life, different sizes and breeds. I used to volunteer on a shelter from the age of 16 when I was still living in Spain, and I also helped my brother with his dog business when I was at home. I groom my own dog and I have groomed other dogs too :) I brought my 13 year old Cocker Spaniel to Manchester with me in 2015. He's still by my side, he's getting old and is castrated, he's a very relaxed good boy :) I gave up on my career 2 years ago due to motherhood. Not planning to go back to my office days. Plenty of time in my hands to allow for flexibility and the right care for your pet. :) I'm currently off work as I have been taking on a career break to extend my child's care. She's now attending to nursery. With 3 days notice to get organised, I can be available anytime, on a daily/weekly basis. Hello! I'm Blanca, I am based in Carrington, with beautiful fields and countryside at the door step of my house, which also has a very good sized garden. I gave up on my career to extend my child's care, but now she's going to nursery and she's on 50/50 shared care. I own a 13 years old Cocker Spaniel, and I have owned other breeds in the past when I used to live at home (German shepherd, Jack Russell & Pitbull). I enjoy spending time with dogs and even though I do not hold any professional certification, I would be able to guarantee the best care for your pet. As a Spanish woman living in Manchester for the past 12 years, I know how important it is to find someone reliable and truly caring to look after your best friend, especially when you have no family members to support you with this. I have been on the other side for many years when I was working in the office or when needing to travel back home. Whether you need dog walks, night care or full day care while away, I can be here for you to offer that top-notch support so your pets always feel loved and cared for in a warm and welcoming environment for them. My services include attentive pet sitting tailored to your pet's needs. From fun play sessions to relaxing walks, your dogs will receive the best care possible.

About: I’ve looked after dogs and cats for as long as I can remember and have always been the person friends and family rely on when they need someone dependable to care for their pets. I currently have a 3-year-old cocker spaniel called Ozzy, so I understand the importance of routine, exercise, patience and giving dogs the right balance of attention and calm. I also regularly look after my mother-in-law’s 4-year-old lab, Max, which has given me experience caring for larger, energetic dogs with different personalities and needs. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding, play, overnight care and sticking closely to routines that help pets feel settled and secure while their owners are away.

For walks and visits, I focus on keeping pets safe, settled and cared for in their usual routine. I’ll follow any instructions closely, make sure they have fresh water, food if needed, and give them attention, play or a calm walk depending on their needs. As a dog owner myself, I’m attentive to behaviour, exercise needs and giving dogs the right balance of play, structure and downtime. I always take time to understand each pet’s routine, personality and any specific requirements so they receive care that feels familiar and consistent. I’ll always keep owners updated, so you know your pet has been looked after properly while you’re out.

Our cats loved Cynthia! She was so lovely, and it was really easy to coordinate giving her the keys, showing her everything they needed, and messaging when we were away. They loved spending time with her, and it was so reassuring for us to know the were so well cared for when we were away. She sent lots of updates and photos as well. We’d definitely book with her again in future, thank you!!
Highly recommend Michelle if you're looking for a car sitter. Very experienced, caring, reliable, trustworthy, & clearly enjoys the job. We were nervous leaving our 6m kitten Jupiter for the first time, but as soon as we met Michelle we knew she was the right person. Jupiter has loved his daily visits whilst we've been away 🙂.
We returned from holiday to find a well cared for happy cat. Katie dealt with all our requests regarding feeding and litter maintainance and importantly medication administration. She kept us fully up to date with photos of Etta and comments on her behaviour. We will have no hesitation in asking Katie to care for our pet again. Many thanks for a job well done.
Sam was simply amazing! We had constant contact throughout our trip, with lots of videos and updates that gave us real peace of mind while we were away. She was extremely helpful, reliable, and took great care of our cats. They bonded with her very quickly, which was lovely to see. We came home to happy, well-looked-after cats and couldn't have asked for a better sitter. I would definitely recommend Sam!
Sally looked after our cat Gertie whilst we were away on a short break. She did an excellent job and sent an update following each visit, which was much appreciated. This was the first time we had used a cat sitter rather than a cattery and we could not have been more pleased with the service and care Sally provided.
Luan is truly wonderful and highly recommended. She genuinely loves cats and took great care of my two senior cats with patience and attention. She didn’t just handle the basics, but also spent time interacting and bonding with them. My cats felt comfortable and relaxed with her. Very reliable and caring—would definitely recommend!
Maisie was great to communicate with—quick to reply and flexible. She came for a meet and greet with Bertie beforehand, and he took to her straight away. He woukd have been excited to see her again for his drop-in and walk. I’d definitely book Maisie again for Bertie.
Booked Harry for daily visits to care for my cat, Robin, over the past two weeks. Robin was healthy and doing well when I returned, which is the most important thing. Communication was generally smooth, and the visits covered the essentials. I was surprised that Harry updated photos almost every visit. When I got home, Robin was especially affectionate and eager for attention. He may simply have missed me, but overall, he seems to be doing fine. Overall, a positive experience for this booking.

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.
