About: Hi, I’m Paige! I really love spending time with dogs and have experience in taking care of them, we have 2 dogs in the the family home. an American akita and a blue staff, both very energetic so I know how to handle over excited dogs. They won’t be with me at any point whilst taking care of your dog so don’t worry if they’re not animal friendly. I’m currently working on from home on weekdays so looking for something to get me outside more than once a day. I finish by 3pm but can walk during my lunch hour and after work, including weekends. I have a 5 month old kitten of my own, Kookie. He is harness trained and the sweetest little boy. I have had him from being a small kitten so have dealt with fleas and know how to keep young kittens stimulated through the day! I have also had dogs my whole life and frequently walk a family members 4 month old Labrador. I don’t have space in my own home to look after a pet for long term stays.

Mia is amazing with my puppy. He is such a handful and has so much energy and he requires someone with a lot of patience which Mia definitely has. From the updates that i receive from Mia when she goes and visits my puppy they seem to enjoy playing with his toys and seems to really enjoy his time with her. I would definitely recommend Mia to anyone who is looking for someone to look after there dog.

About: Hi, my name is Dawn and I have a deep love for animals! Growing up with dogs, cats, and small pets, I learned how to care for them with patience, kindness, and responsibility. My motivation to be a pet sitter comes from my genuine joy in spending time with animals and ensuring they feel safe, happy, and loved while their owners are away. I have experience pet sitting for friends, family, and clients, handling dogs of all sizes and temperaments. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or cuddles, I provide personalized care based on each pet’s needs. I’m also comfortable administering medications if needed. For the health and safety of all pets in my care, I only accept vaccinated animals into my home. Your pet’s well-being is my top priority, and I strive to create a loving, stress-free environment. I look forward to meeting your furry friend! ⭐️PLEASE NOTE- I don’t always update my calendar as not everyone looks at it anyway! so please get in touch and If I can help I will 😊 I work from home, which allows me to be flexible and attentive to your pet's needs throughout the day. Being at home means I can spend quality time with your fur baby ensuring they receive plenty of love, playtime, and attention while you’re away. I have experience caring for various pet personalities and understand their unique needs. My work schedule is flexible enough that I can adhere to your pet's routine, ensuring they are fed on time and have ample opportunities for play and relaxation. You can rest assured knowing that while I’m working from home, I’ll be fully dedicated to keeping your dog happy and healthy during their visits. I have a secure back yard where your dog can stretch their legs, and a large playing field about half a mile away where they can play and have a good run depending on recall.

Outstanding service. I was very nervous leaving my cat, Pip, with a sitter for the first time but Olivia put my mind at rest and even agreed to add further drop ins at the last minute. Well worth the money and the updates at every visit were very welcome. Pip was quite content when we got home. Will definitely look at booking again.

About: With over 6 years of hands-on dog training experience, I specialize in behavior support, puppy training, and senior pet care. I’m qualified through IMDT, ATI (ABTC), and more, and I tailor care to meet each animal’s needs. I’ve worked with assistance dogs, nervous rescues, and reactive pets, using positive reinforcement and compassion in every interaction. I also offer feline care—understanding cat behavior, routines, and the importance of a calm, clean environment. Whether it’s giving medication, enrichment, or specialized walks, I ensure your pet is treated like family. Pet care is a core part of my daily life—I run a dog training business, so I’m highly flexible and accustomed to adapting my routine around pet needs. I offer weekday and weekend availability, with consistent check-ins and quality time with each animal. Your pet’s routine becomes part of mine, and I make sure they feel safe, engaged, and loved every day. I maintain your pet’s routine, ensure a clean space, and follow all safety protocols, including secure lead handling and safe transport if needed. In my home, pets enjoy a calm, enriched environment, supervised socialization, and structured activities that promote their mental and physical well-being. I treat every pet with respect, patience, and care—as if they were my own.

Megan has been fantastic with drop-in visits for my cat while we’ve been away for the week. Each day came with slightly different — and sometimes quite complex — instructions and timings, but Megan took everything in her stride and handled it all perfectly without needing any prompting. She was reliable throughout, and we always received detailed updates, which gave us real peace of mind. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her or book her again whenever we’re away.

About: My names Amy & I have two beautiful dogs called Narla and Mika! Narla is an XL Bully and Mika is a Patterdale Terrier. I have loved animals ever since I was only a few years old, ranging from Cats, dogs, gerbils, degu’s, skinny pigs and many more! I have worked with many different breeds with many different temperaments. Every dog is different and that’s what makes them all special in their own little way. I’m currently working part time, meaning I have time both before and after my shift to care for your pets. Whether that’s for a cuddle or a feed! I am DBS checked, have pet first aid and many other animal qualifications meaning my knowledge of pets wellbeing and what to do in the harder situations is advanced!

About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and temperaments, from energetic puppies to gentle seniors who need extra patience and support. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, administering basic medications, leash training and reinforcing good manners through positive reinforcement. I pay close attention to each pet’s individual needs and body language, making sure they feel safe, understood, and loved. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, or quiet companionship, I aim to keep pets relaxed and happy while you’re away. Pet care fits around my weekly college schedule, which I attend four days a week, plus one day of work experience at a doggy daycare. I’m used to structured routines and being around animals every day. Outside of those hours, I’m available for morning, afternoon, and evening visits, as well as weekends. My experience at a busy daycare has made me confident managing different personalities, keeping pets safe, and giving them plenty of attention, exercise, and affection whenever I’m with them. I’m also happy to be contacted about caring for other types of pets, including reptiles and small animals. Safety is always my top priority. I’ve done work experience in a veterinary clinic for 4 years, so I’m very comfortable around animals of all temperaments and have a good understanding of their health and behavior. I’m able to notice early signs of stress or illness and handle situations calmly if anything seems off. When I’m in your home, I’m respectful of your space and stick to your pet’s usual routine to help them feel comfortable. I make sure doors are secure, double-check leashes and harnesses, and keep a close eye on pets during outdoor time. I’m careful about unsafe foods or objects and always aim to keep things calm and clean. I’ll also send regular updates and photos so you can feel at ease knowing your pet is safe and well cared for.

About: Despite never owning a dog personally, me and my family have many times taken in a friends dog/s to look after whilst they go on holiday. The dogs would be my whole families responsibility, we are a health driven family meaning we adore long walks or runs and always made sure to keep the new furry friend happy. I have taken care of a variety of dogs such as labradors, jack russels, german shepherds and cocker spaniels. The dogs ages ranged from 6 months to 11 years so encountered many personalities! Read on for my experience with cats! I work part-time under zero contract, therefore I have plenty of time to spend looking after pets! I love long walks so if a dog needs to burn any energy off, I’d always be happy to take it. I am able to drive which makes it easier to get to any destination. I live in a very rural area with ragged roads so I am very used to driving on roads which aren’t the most upkept. If I were to care for pets in anothers house, I would be respectful to their wishes and any specific rules about the pet themselves or how the house should be kept would be followed. I aim to present myself as a safe person for the pets to be around and not break any boundaries with them to get them frightened or angry.

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Oldham

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Oldham on Rover is £11.5 per Visit (as of June 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

There are 68 sitters on Rover for Cat Sitting in Oldham. About 85% of Oldham sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you are planning ahead for public holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day cover for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.

Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter trays. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.

House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialisation or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poo breaks occured. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available for dedicated customer support by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalised, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

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.

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 .

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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.

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.
