“Kayley and Milly were fantastic with Goose. It was obvious from the start that they really care about the dogs they look after, and Goose settled in straight away :) They took great care of him and kept me updated, which was really appreciated. It was also lovely that Goose got to spend time with their dogs, Mabel and Ralph. They’re both such lovely dogs and Goose clearly had a great time playing with them. Goose came home very happy and well looked after. I’d happily book with Kayley and Milly again and would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for someone trustworthy to look after their dog, thanks so much xx”
“This is the first time that we've left our dog with anybody other than family, so we were, understandably, very nervous. We needn't have been. As soon as we met Christine we were totally reassured. She was kind and professional and we had no doubts at all that she was the person we wanted to look after Buster for us. We picked him up this morning and it was clear that he loved being there. We wouldn't hesitate to use Christine again should the need arise.”
About: I have experience caring for a range of pets including dogs, cats, hamsters, and rabbits, and I always make sure each one feels safe, comfortable, and well looked after. I live in a house with a secure, medium-sized fenced garden, giving pets safe outdoor access whenever they need it. I’m also just a short walk from local woodland areas, which are perfect for giving dogs proper exercise and a change of environment. I work from home, so I’m able to provide regular attention, supervision, and care throughout the day. Whether your pet needs playtime, walks, or just a calm place to relax, I can adapt to their routine and needs I work from home in a flexible sales role, which means I’m around throughout the day to give pets plenty of attention, care, and supervision. I’m able to take regular breaks for walks, playtime, and feeding, and I’m available every day of the week, including weekends. Your pet won’t be left alone for long periods, and I can easily adapt my routine to suit their needs. My home is a calm, safe, and pet-friendly environment. I have a fully fenced garden for secure outdoor time, and there are no other pets or young children in the house, so your pet can relax without stress. I keep a clean and tidy space and always make sure pets are supervised, comfortable, and well cared for. I’m attentive to each pet’s routine and needs, whether that’s quiet rest time or regular play and exercise. I also take care to keep the environment safe by securing gates, removing hazards, and supervising outdoor time.
“Prince has been coming Julia for some time now and cannot fault the care she provides. Julia herself is super friendly, informative and is happy to have a chat with you about anything. Prince absolutely loves being looked after by Julia and hates when I come to pick him up! Cannot recommend anymore!”
“Aisha was amazing once again. I was able to book with Aisha a few days before going away for 4 nights after being let down by another sitter last minute and she was warm, welcoming and accommodating like last time. Bronx was so excited to see her and loved all the walks. Thanks again for looking after Bronx so well. Bronx and I would 100% recommend Aisha.”
“Bernie has loved his time with Nikki and friends so much that he didn’t want to come home and we’re now getting the cold shoulder! Really friendly and accommodating, has obviously treated Bernie with love and care like one of her own and that’s all you can ask when you leave your little guy with someone else. It was Bernie’s first time staying away from us and we were nervous but there was no need….Plenty of updates, fully reassured that he was having a great time. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Nikki, and Bernie would definitely agree! We’ll be back!”
“Felt so at ease Gallardo staying with Daniel, he’s a lovely man and you can tell he’s passionate about what he does. He sent me regular updates and pictures. If your looking for someone to look after your pooch and it to be a home to home experience look no further. 5*”
“Honestly I cannot sing praise here enough. Stasys was super patient with Eevee and she had an amazing time! I loved getting photo updates, communication was fantastic throughout the booking process and her following stay. We ended up stuck on the way home from our trip and Stasys went out of his way to drop Eevee off with a family member just to take some stress off my plate - honestly that was such a big help. If he'll have her, I'll definitely be using again in the future. Absolutely no notes.”
“Nicola was absolutely fantastic with Nellie this weekend! From the moment we dropped her off, I felt completely at ease. Nicola kept me updated with lovely messages and photos, and it was clear that Nellie was happy, relaxed, and getting plenty of attention. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. I’ll definitely be booking with Nicola again — highly recommend!”
About: I have been brought up with dogs my first dog was patsy who was a mixed breed medium sized dog we then went in to have German shepherd’s! I have had my own dogs in clouding a boxer, a mixed bully and a patterdale terrier. I understand all dogs come with their own personalities and quicks and I can adapt to make them feel as comfortable and as at home as possible! I live right next to the country side so lots of walks are guaranteed to accommodate the dogs needs! Cuddles are a must and will be given freely! I would insist on a meet and great first to ensure not only you are comfortable leaving your precious dog with me to to make sure they also feel comfortable. I am currently at home during the days and evening. I usually offer a morning afternoon and evening walk to suit your pets requirements! More or less if needed! I am flexible around their needs! I live in a house with a dog friendly garden and have lots of.Country walks including places for swimming around my area . I allow your pet to feel as comfortable as possible! If they want to join me on the furniture for a cuddle they are more than welcome! I have a box of dog toys they can enjoy and easy access to the garden with is safe and adapted to meet your dogs needs .
“Steve and Rachel were great with our 2 dogs, one is a lot more active than the other and they both understood their separate needs and even helped give medication to our dog. Would highly recommend, was kept updated the whole time they were with them. Brilliant!”
“Jamila and Martin have gone above and beyond what we could ever have hoped for! Winston has had an amazing week staying with them, and they’ve managed to keep our crazy spaniel occupied with “activities of the day”, which we’ve looked forward to seeing each day. Jamila has been fantastic at keeping us up to date every day on what Winston has been up to and we’ve been so happy to see our boy enjoying himself. Jamila and Martin have made Winston part of their family while he has been staying with them which is exactly what we were hoping for! Thank you so much to both of you!”
“Jungmin was great with Muffin! She made him feel welcome and provided daily updates which were lovely. Muffin settled in quickly and came home very happy, and relaxed. He has a cone on currently and Jungmin was very accomodating and helped Muffin with everything. Thank you so much for looking after him so well ❤️”
About: I have always had dogs in my life since being a young child. I have owned different breeds from smaller sized dogs to larger ones and know how to care for them even if there playful puppies or older dogs who need a slower pace and extra care. I currently work from home mon- Friday. (9-5) and can do any time after work. My days off are Saturdays and Sundays and will be free during that time. Your dog will be welcomed into a friendly, safe, and loving environment. We have one dog in the home who is very sociable and gets along well with other dogs, making it a great space for pets who enjoy company. Our home is calm and pet-friendly, with plenty of space inside for dogs to relax, nap, or play. We also have a large, fully fenced garden where your dog can safely enjoy the outdoors and burn off some energy under supervision.
“Lida and her flatmates were amazing dog sitters! Left my dog for 2 nights and he thoroughly enjoyed his time there, with multiple walks daily, play time and even gave him a shower, plus a lovely gift to top it all. She was proactive with keeping me updated with photos and his status multiple times a day, I was left at ease that my dog was in safe hands - highly recommend.”

Malgorzata was absolutely wonderful! She was very attentive, kind and friendly, and took such great care of Pike. He felt safe, comfortable and happy with her. She was also very responsive and kept me updated throughout his stay with photos and videos, which was very reassuring. I would definitely recommend Malgorzata and will happily book with her again. Thank you so much for taking such good care of Pike! Maria
We felt so safe leaving both of our dogs with Jamie. His home is wonderful, with a lovely, secure garden, and it was clear from the start that the dogs were going to be well looked after. He sent us regular updates throughout their stay, which really put our minds at ease and meant we could enjoy our day knowing they were happy and settled. We’d definitely recommend Jamie and would happily leave the dogs with him again!
Fantastic sitter and such a lovely lady, my dogs haven't ever been away from home before so I was nervous as to how they would be, I absolutely didn't need to be, they got walked and Joanne is relaxed it's a home from home boarding. Regular pictures / videos sent to me. Thanks again Joanne.
Amanda and John were brilliant with Bernie. They clearly love dogs and are so welcoming - he didn’t want to let them out of his sight when we collected him and drove away! Updated throughout, which is always reassuring as we hate leaving him but makes it so much easier when you know he’s having a great time. Thank you, I’m sure Bernie would love to come and see you again!
Our Reggie was well looked after whilst staying with Rebecca. Regular updates showed him having a good time and can see he really enjoyed being with his new friends. I would 100% recommend and I will definitely ask for him to return, I think Reggie is missing them already xx
Alex was amazing from our first meet & greet right the way through Goose’s stay! Goose immediately felt right at home with Alex, loved pottering around the house and being nosey from his first visit :) Alex was fantastic with communication and updates all through the time Goose was there and was also super sweet when he destroyed his fave toy and left the remains all over the carpet 🤦🏼♀️! Thank you so much Alex, Goose would love to stay with you again :) xx

FAQs for Dog Boarding – Oldham
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Oldham on Rover is £31.05 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Finding the right boarding environment is all about peace of mind. Boarding with a sitter on Rover helps you find a cosy experience in a real home for your dog.
When searching for a host, look for a sitter who:
- Offers a secure, home-like environment that is clean and welcoming
- Adheres to your dog’s established routine for meals, activity, and rest
- Possesses relevant experience with your pet’s specific breed, size, and personality
- Maintains clear communication regarding the frequency of photo and message updates
Don’t skip the Meet & Greet! The free Meet & Greet is the best way to see where your dog will sleep and who they might play with.
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.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog's vaccines is the best way to be 'boarding ready'. Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Sitters in North West England may request that your dog be up-to-date on core vaccines, such as Canine Distemper, Canine Parvovirus, Canine Adenovirus (also known as DHP or DHPPi), Leptospirosis and Kennel Cough. Cats may be required to have Feline Panleucopenia Virus, Feline Herpesvirus, Feline Calicivirus, and Feline Leukaemia Virus up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 dog, 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.
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 .
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 dog to the closest vet. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
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.
We require sitters to operate in compliance with applicable local licensing requirements. In England, pet sitters who board dogs or provide doggy day care as a business may need a valid licence under the Animal Welfare (Licensing of Activities Involving Animals) Regulations 2018. When vetting your sitter, ask if they meet local licensing requirements for dog boarding. This confirmation is important for coverage under the Rover Guarantee. Read more about our requirement for following local licensing requirements .
