About: I had two dogs growing up so I have many years of experience with taking care of dogs. I moved to the UK four years ago and cannot afford to get a dog of my own but love them so much and am just happy to take care of them!! I am currently a student so have sufficient free time to take care of dogs during the week. I am also more than happy to make time for your dogs! I live in a flat with minimum furniture or hazards. I live around ancoats making it a great and safe place to go on walks. The building has many dogs but all extremely nice and fun to play with. I do not own any pets at the time so I could give yours my full attention.

“Jacques is amazing with Eric, he notices the little things, like Eric hopping on his back paw in grass, he checked with me that he wasnt hurt in any way. It is just so.e Eric does. He arrives on time, and Eric is always super happy when he gets back.. I am so happy to have found someone I trust. 🐕 Ann”


About: I’ve taken care of many animals of all different needs since I can remember, growing up I had three dogs, two of which were rescues, one was a very nervous rescue from Korea, and another eventually became reactive over time due to old age and varying underlying medical conditions, I believe this highlights me as being well equipped for animals that have certain needs and boundaries other sitters may not be able to cater towards. I have also done multiple gigs for pet sitting for family friends, including indoor kittens and outdoor elderly cats. So while only having dogs growing up, I also have enough experience minding cats. I have two part time casual retail jobs, so while I am working away from home, I can still work around you! I always have gaps throughout my week, and I’d be happy to fill them caring for your fur baby! I always update my calendar around when I know I’m working, so you don’t have to worry about it! if I am working for whatever reason, I’ll still be able to find time to look after your pet. I’m a big walker, so I am happy to walk up and down Manchester to look after your fur baby! If your pet needs more attention, I’m more than happy to dedicate a couple hours of my day to sit, play, and keep them company so that they can settle before you come home! I can be as flexible as possible, with the exception around my work, but I’m happy to pop in before or after a shift to ensure the best for your pet and you. I’ve always grown up around animals, and I adore them, so expect to receive a lot of photos and updates of your pet every time I pay them a visit. I also have owned two rescue dogs, three dogs in total, and all three had their own set of needs, one was a nervous rescue, another a clingy rescue who acted like my little shadow, and the other had occasional reactive behaviours, so I’m well adapted to learning and respecting your pets boundaries and behaviours.
About: Full-Time Snuggle Bug & Dedicated Pet Companion 🐾 Hi there! Pets aren't just animals—they’re family, and giving them the best care is my full-time passion! I pet sit full-time as I just quit my job, your fur baby gets 100% of my time, attention, and belly rubs. No rushing around, just a relaxed, homey routine tailored exactly to what your pet loves. My cat also fully experienced to stay with dogs and cats, she have over 2 years making friends with sitting pets as apartment owner. What Makes Me Your Pet’s New Best Friend: Big, Small, Meow, or Woof! I’m comfortable with paws of all shapes and sizes—from energetic big dogs who love a good zoomie, to sweet little pups, and independent cats who just want a calm sunny spot (and occasional chin scratches). Puppy Energy & Good Habits: Got a young tail-wagger? I help keep up with fun play sessions to burn off that adorable puppy energy. Pets Are My Daily Priority! ☀️🐾 Because pet care is my full-time focus, my entire day revolves around keeping tail-waggers and purr-machines happy, healthy, and safe! Here is how a typical day looks with me: Bright & Early: Morning paws-out walks, breakfast time, and fresh water refreshes to start the day with happy wags. Mid-Day Play & Paws: Perfect for active play, mental enrichment, sunny nap spots, and mid-day check-ins or neighborhood strolls. Cozy Evenings: Wind-down walks, dinner service, precise medication routines (if needed), and plenty of sofa cuddles before bedtime. Ultimate Flexibility for Your Peace of Mind: Since I don't have a traditional 9-to-5 job, my schedule is wonderfully flexible! Whether your dog needs precise pot-ty breaks every few hours, your cat craves extra midday chin scratches, or your senior pet needs a quiet, slow-paced routine, I can easily adapt to match your pet’s exact daily rhythm. Whether I’m hosting your furry family member in my home or visiting them in yours, safety and trust are always my top priorities. I treat every home with complete respect and every pet as if they were my own!

About: I’ve grown up around both cats and dogs my whole life, so being around animals has always come naturally to me. I genuinely love looking after pets, making sure they feel happy, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away 🐶🐱 I know how important it is to have someone trustworthy looking after your pets, so I like to provide pet parents with plenty of updates throughout their time with me (if you want that!). Let me know if you'd like me to offer a helping hand with your pet :) message me if you have any Qs I have plenty of free time at the moment as my work is very flexible, which means I'll be able to give them all of the attention they need. I don't currently have any pets; it's just me at home, so it's a nice, chilled environment for animals. I'm living in a spacious flat with communal outdoor space. My flat is pet-friendly, as they can roam freely and make themselves at home. The lovely Peel Park is just down the road for plenty of walkieeees!

About: I have several years of experience caring for both dogs and cats. Growing up, I had my own dog, a poodle, which taught me the responsibilities of daily pet care such as feeding, walking, grooming, and giving them the attention and exercise they need. Currently, I have two cats at home, so I am very familiar with their routines, including feeding, litter box cleaning, grooming, and playtime. Caring for my own pets has helped me understand how important patience, consistency, and a calm environment are for animals. In addition, I have experience looking after cats and dogs through another pet-sitting app, where I provided reliable care through drop-in visits and walks. I always focus on making pets feel safe, comfortable, and well looked after while their owners are away. Pet care fits naturally into my current routine as I am currently taking a career break, which gives me a very flexible schedule. This allows me to be available throughout the day for drop-in visits and dog walks, ensuring pets receive the attention, care, and consistency they need. With the extra time in my schedule, I am able to plan visits carefully and make sure each pet is looked after properly without rushing. I enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while their owners are away. I prioritize creating a safe, calm, and trusting environment for every pet I care for. I understand how important it is for pet owners to feel confident that their pets are in reliable and responsible hands. I offer drop-in visits and dog walking services, ensuring pets receive proper care, attention, and companionship while their owners are away. I do not provide boarding services. I also have prior experience caring for both cats and dogs through another pet-sitting app, which has helped me build strong skills in understanding different pet personalities and maintaining their routines in a comfortable and secure environment.
About: I’ve grown up surrounded by family dogs and have always loved having furry friends around. Since moving to Manchester a few years ago, I’ve really missed having dogs in my day-to-day life, so I’d love the chance to spend time with and care for your pets. Friends and family regularly rely on me to look after their dogs, and I regularly dog-sit at weekends during term time. I’m happy to help with walks, check-ins, feeding, playtime and keeping your pet company while you’re away. I particularly enjoy being outdoors, getting some fresh air and staying active, so I’d love to have a furry friend to join me! I’m comfortable caring for small and medium-sized dogs and will always treat your pet as if they were my own. I work mostly from home with flexible working hours, so I have plenty of flexibility to fit pet care around my day. I’m in the office two days a week, but I can offer walks and check-ins on my home-working days and at weekends. I enjoy getting outdoors and would love the chance to build regular walks and playtime into my routine. I live in a very pet-friendly apartment with large communal gardens and plenty of fresh grass for dogs to enjoy. There are even dog treats available at reception! I’ll always make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable and cared for, and I’m happy to follow your usual routines for feeding, walks, playtime and rest. I’m particularly comfortable with small and medium-sized dogs.

About: I’ve always been surrounded by pets and have looked after family and friends’ pets while they’re away on holiday, working, or simply in need of a break. I’m a bit of a pet whisperer and can usually tell what they need in an instant (some might say I can speak to them!). All jokes aside, I’ll make sure your pets have a safe, comfortable and happy space where their individual needs are always catered for. Up and out for a morning walk and toilet break to start the day. We’ll have a little run in the park or play fetch with a ball before heading home for breakfast while I work from home. At lunchtime, we’ll head out for another quick walk, giving us a chance to stretch our legs and have another toilet break. Later in the afternoon, we’ll enjoy a longer walk home, taking in the scenery and, most importantly, getting lots of good sniffs in! Back home, we’ll settle in and finish the working day before having dinner together and getting ready for our final and longest walk of the day, depending on your dog’s size, age and needs. I live in a safe and secure flat, with any potential hazards or obstructions kept safely out of reach. Pets will have regular toilet breaks and plenty of opportunities to get outside. There are several parks nearby where they can enjoy walks, explore and have a toilet break. If they’re comfortable socialising with other animals, there will also be opportunities to meet and interact with other pets along the way.
“Sofie is wonderful with my dog Suki, who can sometimes be a bit worried meeting new people and can be reactive to other dogs. Sofie really understands dogs and she's so calm and patient with them. I have full confidence leaving my dogs in her care.”


About: I have experience caring for both cats and dogs of different ages, from energetic puppies to senior companions up to 12 years old. The longest I’ve looked after a dog was for one month, so I’m comfortable with daily routines, feeding, walks, playtime and providing companionship. Many pets quickly become comfortable enough to sleep beside me, which I think reflects the trust I build with them. As I’m home most of the time, I can provide plenty of companionship throughout the day and make sure your pet receives lots of attention. I work as a freelancer from home, so I have a very flexible schedule and can spend plenty of time with your pet throughout the day. I love going for walks and would be happy to take your dog to the park regularly. I live in a clean and pet-friendly one-bedroom apartment with a secure balcony. There are no other pets in my home, so your pet will have a calm environment and my full attention.

“Olivia is absolutely smashing it with my rescue pup. He loves her company and always comes back happy and tired (yay!!!!) she is always really communicative and took the time to put my mind at ease as my pupper has reactivity issues. His wee report card after walks is brilliant. Would highly recommend”

“Thank you! It was Kaleesis first walk with someone outside our circle for a while and Nicola was very reassuring and kind. I got updates throughout the walk and it went very well. Hopefully we can continue this new friendship 😁”

About: Hi, I’m Grace! Based Manchester City Centre, I’m a huge animal lover based in Manchester city centre and have been caring for dogs since I was around 10 years old. Friends, neighbours and family have always trusted me to walk, feed, check in on and spend quality time with their pets while they’re away. I’m experienced with dogs of all breeds, sizes and personalities—from energetic puppies who need lots of playtime to senior dogs who prefer a slower pace and gentle care. I always make sure to follow each dog’s routine carefully so they feel safe, comfortable and happy. Whether it’s dog walking, drop-in visits or pet sitting, I’ll make sure your dog gets plenty of exercise, attention and affection.

I’ll also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your dog is happy and well looked after.
“Emma is a great carer. We've worked together on Carbee's regular weekly walkie and she also stayed in our flat to look after Carbee while we are away for weekend. Emma has been very trustable, patient and with great communication! Definitely recommend her services”

Whisky was delighted to hang out with Dulcie and Wilf each time. They were flexible and communicative in arranging schedules. They picked up on Whisky's needs and made sure he had fun. He now makes a beeline for their place whenever we go for a walk. Would trust and recommend.

Zara was fantastic! She is very responsive to messages and sent lots of photos after. My partner was so worried about leaving our dog with a stranger but he was in such good hands. There is nothing 'cookie-cutter' about her approach - she asked about my dogs needs and made him comfortable. Highly recommend!

Sam has been an amazing dog walker, highly recommend! As our first ever dog walker he’s taken so much worry off us with his genuine care for our dog, always on point and great communication. He understands our dogs needs being more reactive and has handled this incredibly making her very happy and us stress free :)
Eve is just fab as always, took on a very last minute booking and was such a help and very flexible. Riley seems to really warm to her and I always get amazing full updates and pictures of their walk. So lovely to know he's in such good hands and she even said hello to the cat too whilst we were out. Thank you!

I recently had the pleasure of meeting, Zaynah who has recently started her dog walking service in the M14 area , and I couldn't be more impressed. We arranged a meet and greet for my 10-year-old Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, Ruben. As an older dog, Ruben is very set in his ways and can be quite stubborn at times. However, the moment he met Zaynah, his tail was wagging and he immediately wanted lots of cuddles, which spoke volumes to me. Zaynah took the time to ask plenty of questions about Ruben, including his likes and dislikes, any medication he takes, how he interacts with other dogs, whether he enjoys playing games, and if he can be trusted off the lead. Her thorough approach and genuine interest in understanding Ruben's needs immediately put my mind at ease. We then arranged for Zaynah to take Ruben out for a walk. As they were still getting to know each other, Ruben did give her a bit of a run-around, but she handled it with patience, kindness, and good humour throughout. Zahan is a charming, confident, reliable, and trustworthy young lady who clearly cares about the dogs she looks after. I would have no hesitation in recommending her to anyone looking for someone special to care for and walk their fur babies. Knowing Ruben is in such capable hands gives me complete peace of mind.

Brooke is a fantastic dog walker. She handled our dog-reactive large greyhound (Thomas) expertly. She was always prompt picking him up. She responds quickly to messages and communicates very well. She provides the CUTEST pictures and updates from the walks. Thomas absolutely adores her. Only downside is his little heart will be broken tomorrow when he realises Brooke is not coming to take him for his morning walk. We would have been lost without her this week!

Reus had such a great time with Ching—he looked genuinely happy in every single picture! I was getting updates constantly, which made me feel really at ease. You can tell he was well cared for and enjoying himself the whole time. I’d 100% recommend him and will definitely be booking again.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-to-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Manchester. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighbourhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
