“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.”
“We were so lucky to find Molly, after being let down by another sitter, she came to the rescue and was a pleasure to deal with. Both of our kittens loved having her around and took to her well. She was reliable and flexible and super nice! Thank you 🙏”
“Elle has been looking after our 2 cats now for over a year. She has been reliable and goes above and beyond for them. We always receive regular updates when she has visited and she makes time to play with them to make sure they don’t get lonely! ”
“Jess was lovely and knowledgeable, Moose can be quite intimidating, as he is a very large dog and he is weary of strangers. Jess understood all this and handled him beautifully, had him taking treats out of her hand very quickly. We highly recommend Jess and we will definitely use her services again 🐾”
“Amanda looked after my cats for a week and visited them three times a day. She was great with them and spent time playing with them and caring for them as well as feeding, litter tray cleaning and refilling water bowls. I got regular updates, photos and videos and would absolutely recommend her. ”
“Leylee was amazing as always! Cats all fed and played out, poop scooped, and seemless key exchange as always. Lots of pics sent over too. Wouldn’t go to anyone else ! Thanks again Leylee Xx”
“Adam was a great sitter! I’d highly recommend him- very kind, communicative, and was amazing with Vader. He dealt with the mischief with grace and we will definitely be booking with him again!”
“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 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: With 12 years of experience as a veterinary assistant, I bring medical knowledge, a calm demeanor, and deep compassion to every pet I care for. I'm comfortable giving medications, handling senior pets with mobility issues, and understanding subtle changes in behavior that others might miss. I’m also great with nervous or shy animals—patience and kindness go a long way. As a proud cat mom, I understand that every pet has their own personality and needs, and I always tailor my care to match. As a full-time mom with a flexible schedule, I’m home most of the day and can easily fit pet care into my routine. Whether it’s daily walks, drop-in visits, or extended stays, I make sure your pet gets the time, attention, and love they need. I plan my day around their comfort, keeping their routine consistent and stress-free. Safety and comfort are always my top priorities. In my home, I create a calm, pet-friendly environment—clean, secure, and free of hazards. I carefully follow each pet’s routine, dietary needs, and any medical instructions. In a pet owner's home, I respect their space and keep everything just as they left it. I take time to build trust with every pet, making sure they feel safe, relaxed, and loved whether we’re at my place or theirs.
“Margret was able to walk little Luna at such short notice and Luna loved her time with her. Margret’s communication was great and sent lots of pictures and updates of their walk. I will definitely be using Margret again.”
“Sherry came to do a drop in visit for my 2 dogs and was very happy with how it went. Sherry came before the appointment to go though all the details and was very professional! Would definitely recommend and use again ☺️”
About: I’ve grown up around animals and have been caring for pets since I was 12, including high-energy dogs, so I’m very comfortable meeting a range of needs and personalities. Over the past year, I’ve been dog sitting for friends and family, building hands-on experience with feeding, walking, playtime, and making sure each dog feels safe and happy. Spending time with dogs genuinely brings me so much joy, and I love getting to know their individual quirks and routines. While I’m not quite ready to commit to having my own dog just yet, I have a secure garden and access to great local walking routes, making my home a perfect place for dogs to relax, play, and explore. I’d genuinely love the opportunity to care for your dog as if they were my own! I currently work from home where I have flexibility in my hours and my breaks. This gives me lots of opportunity to look after your pets. I would follow the owner's instructions strictly for their pet care. I will ensure that the surroundings are safe for your pet, know where food, water, toys are and understand the pets normal routine.

Carol was fantastic taking care of my two Cats. Even taking the bins out and back. Does all the things wanted and more, not only feed my Cats, she add litter to the bins as well. Attend every day without fail, rain or shine. Excellent work ethic. Enter and exit with alarm and two doors without any problems. I definitely will recommend anyone and she be my Cat sitter from now on. Thanks Carol.
Flawless as always - I'm always happy when we book Katie to look after our two housecats because she always puts her full care and attention into it! She even helps us to stay stress-free when we're away by watering plants and cleaning messes the cats make - just brilliant, have booked many times before and will continue to book in the future. 10/10 care
Our, usually shy, house cats warmed to Christine instantly. We returned home to two happy, healthy, cats who didn't seam too bothered that we'd disappeared for a week! We had lots of updates & pics from Christine while we were away which was really appreciated. We'd happily book Christine again.
Philippa has looked after Tigger and Tatty twice now and has been so caring with the two of them, you can see how visibly calm both cats are with her from her regular photo updates and when we return from holiday they have both been clearly well looked after! Would 100% recommend Philippa to anyone looking for a sitter!
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 🙂.
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!

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!

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 use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a key safe. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalised codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in a flat, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or lift etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English, French, German, and Spanish from Mon-Sat 9am to 6pm. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a qualified vet or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s booking protection means Rover Support will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
