Dog Walking in Oldham

About: Hi, I’m Amy. Alongside my partner I have owned and run my own dog walking business Barking Pad for the past 5 years, both in the UK and over in sunny Australia! From Chihuahuas to Great Danes, Staffies to German Shepards, we’ve cared for them all - each one as much an adventure as the next. I am fully insured by Pet Business Insurance, which covers Public Liability, Loss of Keys, Animal Illness and Care Custody of up to 6 dogs per walk. Along with a cleared DBS check, I also have an OFQUAL Level 3 qualification in Canine First Aid and Emergency First Aid training, with having attended the Rachel Bean First Aid course. You’ll receive texts and photos with updates, and can even follow along on our social media pages too! A typical day will always start and end with lots of cuddles, with plenty of adventure in between! For dogs that love to make friends we have a lovely group of doggies just waiting to play with, and for those that enjoy their own space we always prioritise a nice solo adventure with lots to sniff and see. I always make sure to get as much detail from our owners as possible, to ensure their pets are as safe and happy as can be. With updates and pictures throughout their time to give owners full peace of mind.

“I would highly recommend Mia to anybody looking for someone to take care of their pets! My dog Dougall can be quite energetic and boisterous so I was really apprehensive when looking for someone to walk him when I returned to work full time. Mia’s calm and confident approach completely put my mind at ease and I knew from our first meet and greet that Dougall would be in safe hands with her. Mia is responsible, trustworthy and above all else a genuinely lovely person who clearly loves animals and enjoys taking care of those entrusted to her. Dougall is always so well looked after and so content when I get home from work and I can see from the regular updates I get that he’s had a really good, long walk which is exactly what he needs. I’m so happy we found Mia and I can’t thank her enough for everything she does!”

About: As a proud owner of two dogs, I know that your pets aren't just animals—they’re family. I’ve spent years providing a 'home away from home' for the pets of friends and family, ensuring they stay happy, relaxed, and loved while their humans are away. Whether it’s a high-energy pup or a senior cat who just wants a quiet lap, I’m comfortable with a wide range of breeds and temperaments. My daily routine already revolves around long walks and playtime with my own two dogs, so you can rest easy knowing your pet will get the exercise and attention they deserve. I can't wait to meet your furry best friend! I currently part-time working around 20-30 hours spread out across the week. I always have lots of free time where I can love your animals, make sure they are relaxed, fed and happy. I will ensure your animals are fed around their schedule, taken on walks suited for their needs, let out regularly for a bathroom break and well loved for the entire stay. As a dog lover myself, they will receive lots of attention and cuddles if they want them. I can adjust to a dogs different needs as I know all dogs are different and they will be receiving the requirements they want and need.

“Victoria answered my last minute need for a dog walker and went above and beyond for my puppy who needed the walks as well as my older dog who loves a bit of attention! She was quick to respond and always followed my requests which calmed my anxiety significantly! I could not recommend Victoria more!!”

About: Experience of caring for puppies as well as much older dogs, who may need extra medication, time and care. Willing to go the extra mile! As a primary school teacher for over 2 decades, I'm now reducing my hours to part-time. I'm hoping this will allow me the opportunity to do something I love on a regular basis. After having cared for my own dog, as well as many others for friends and family, I am looking to offer my services to more families. I have offered home boarding in the past, but starting off getting to know your pets through a home visit & dog walking service in the first instance.

About: I've had dogs my whole life, so looking after them is second nature to me. I'm also currently studying for a Level 3 Diploma in Canine Care, Behaviour and Welfare, which means I'm learning all the best ways to keep dogs happy, healthy, and safe. Your pup will be in good hands! I work four days a week and spend my spare time caring for reptiles and helping my parents with their dogs—animals are a big part of my life! I care for pets in my own home around my four-day work week, using my lifelong dog experience, reptile care skills, and canine care training.

“Sophie has been very flexible. She came to meet Sindy for an intro before taking her for first walk. Thank you.”

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.

About: I have taken care of dogs from a very young age as I have had family dogs since I can remember. I am a pet lover who wants to treat dogs with love and attention. I’m trustworthy, patient, attentive, and experienced with dogs. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or cuddles, I make sure every pet feels at home. I currently study during the week Monday to Thursday. I am available for walks and drop-ins Friday to Sunday to give your pets lots of love and attention. I have a secure fenced garden where your dogs will love. Pets are always supervised, and I can crate your dog if preferred. I keep a clean, safe environment with plenty of playtime and cuddles!

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.

“Albie loved his walk with Leanne and came home very content and ready for a nap. Leanne took the time to meet Albie beforehand as he can be quite nervous which was great and I felt very comfortable”

About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs for as long as I can remember. Growing up with my aunt, who worked as a dog sitter in her retirement, I learned early on how to care for dogs of all sizes and personalities. I also spent six months volunteering at a dog training centre, where I helped with both puppies and older dogs — from basic obedience to confidence-building exercises. Over the years, I’ve dog-sat for friends and family, making sure every pet felt safe, loved, and at home while their owners were away. I genuinely love spending time with animals and treat every dog I look after like part of my own family. I currently work part time from home so I have plenty of time to play with your pups during the week! On certain weekends I am out of the house from 9am-5pm however we have a work from home family so there is always someone in the house to keep your pups occupied and give them toilet breaks! When caring for pets, I make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved — whether they’re in my home or their own. At my home, I have a secure fenced garden where dogs can enjoy supervised outdoor time. I also live very close to a fully fenced field, which is perfect for walks, playtime, and exercise. I have a friendly dog who loves meeting new furry friends and is great at keeping them company. I always follow each owner’s routine as closely as possible — including feeding schedules, walk times, and any special care instructions — to make sure every pet feels at home and well cared for.
