Mia’s love for dogs shows through everything she does. Mia shows just as much love to my dog as I’m sure she would to her own dogs. Mia is very flexible in her approach and was a massive help to us! Mia did some walks for us with our 14 week old puppy who is not the easiest on walks. Mia also attended to the house and cleaned up accidents that our pup had whilst waiting for her walk! Would definitely recommend Mia if you are looking for someone to show your dog love and attention just as you would! Could not praise Mia enough

About: As an AuDHD person, like many other neurodivergent people, I connect with animals very easily and love to spend time around them. I was born into a house that already had a cat so I have been around animals of one kind or another since day dot. Over the years my family have had cats, hamsters, rabbits, and a dog. While living with friends I’ve helped take care of small reptiles too. Since having my own place I’ve had cats and rabbits. I currently have 2 cats who I love with all my heart. I take care of a friend’s dog, a 6-year-old cockapoo with the energy of a puppy called Cooper, semi-regularly & help an elderly woman down the road with her dog walks now she can’t go as far as she once could. Since I work from home and have no children, your pets will have all the company & attention they could ask for with me! I own my own small business, work from home and don’t have any children so I am available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. This also means that I can continue to work from your home if necessary so your pet will have all the company they could wish for! While I’m taking care of your pet I am also taking care of your home. Your place will of course stay clean and tidy and I’m happy to get on top of anything you need doing while I’m there if you would like me to. Even if I am only stopping in rather than staying to take care of your pet, your home is their home too so it will be looked after just as well as they will be!

Megan was fantastic, wolf loved his walks. Really reliable and helpful was so happy to see her. Would 100 percent recommend. Wolf is a large breed who is scared of other dogs, Megan was not phased by this as she has lots of experience. Thank you Megan.

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!

Ivana is being very accommodating with my nervous dog who doesn't like strangers in the home. We are going on multiple walks before we graduate to going inside. Olive is already very happy to see Ivana after 2 walks which is saying something! From our conversations, Ivana knows a lot about dog behaviour and communication which is really important to me. Will be using Ivana again! Thanks

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.

About: Hi, I’m Jake and am new to Rover! From my time looking after friends and families pets and homes consistently for around 2 years, I have developed an affinity for caring for animals and am now interested in branching out to care for others during my remote working schedule. As I currently don’t have a rating on here, I kindly ask that you take time to check out my testimonials 🙂 I work a hybrid job, attending the office only part of the week, the rest of my time is spent remote working, allowing me to spend all day caring for pets. When caring for pets in their own home, I make it my priority to keep your pets comfortable by maintaining their normal routine. When following feeding, exercise and care instructions from owners, I can ensure that your pets are safe and secure whilst away. During housesitting, homes are treated with respect, keeping the place clean and secure and providing regular updates.

Very pleasant young lady. I booked Yarah to take my dog out for a midday walk. The meet and greet went great and she was eager to learn all she could about my dogs personality and his temperament. After the walk she discussed everything with me and was open and honest about how it went. Would definitely recommend Yarah she is passionate about all animals.

About: What sets me apart is my formal education in zoology combined with hands-on experience in the animal sector. I understand animal behavior, body language, and welfare on a deeper level than the average sitter, allowing me to tailor care to each dog’s individual needs. I’m attentive, knowledgeable, and calm in a variety of situations—whether that’s caring for energetic puppies, senior dogs, or pets that need a little extra patience and understanding. I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to spend plenty of time caring for and engaging with your dog throughout the day. Attentive, hands-on care for your beloved pet. I aim to create a safe, calm, and trusting environment where dogs can feel relaxed and secure (your dog’s home away from home). My background in zoology and animal care means I’m confident reading behaviour, managing routines, and prioritising welfare at all times. I follow care instructions closely, maintain consistent boundaries, and always put your dog’s safety and comfort first, treating them with the same care and respect I would my own.

About: I've grown up around animals and have had pets in the house for as long as I can remember, so looking after someone else's dog or cat feels completely natural to me rather than like a job. I offer dog walking, drop-in visits for feeding, fresh water, litter trays and a bit of company, and overnight or house sitting when you're away. I work from home, which means I'm around during the day and pets in my care aren't left on their own for hours at a time. It also makes me genuinely flexible. I can take early mornings, evenings, weekends and short-notice bookings that other sitters often can't. What you can expect from me: I turn up when I say I will, I stick to your pet's normal routine rather than imposing my own, and I'll send photo updates so you can see how they're getting on. Happy to give medication, handle nervous or older animals gently, and take as long as you need over a meet-and-greet first so both you and your pet are comfortable before anything is booked. I work from home, so pet care fits into my day rather than around it. I can do early morning, midday and evening visits without rushing between them, and I'm available weekdays and weekends including short notice, the bookings people with fixed office hours have to turn down. For house sitting I stay at your place for the whole booking, so your pet keeps their normal routine, sleeps in their own bed and isn't left alone overnight. I'll agree exact visit times with you in advance and stick to them. I look after pets in your home only, I don't board animals at mine. That's deliberate: your pet never has to settle into a strange house or meet unfamiliar animals, which takes a lot of the stress out of you going away. In your home I follow your setup exactly: same feeding routine, same food, same rules about which rooms they're allowed in, doors locked and windows shut every time I leave. I'll ask you to walk me through it all at the meet-and-greet and I write it down rather than trusting my memory. Dogs go out on lead and harness unless you've told me otherwise. I treat your keys and alarm code as confidential and never share your address. You'll get a photo and a short update after every visit, so you always know what's happened. If anything concerns me, off their food, limping, just not themselves I'll tell you straight away and I'll have your vet's details to hand.

About: I am a big animal lover and had a rescue dog for 9 years where I have done behaviour training and helped her to socialise. I also look after several of my friends dogs and cats regularly who all feel trust and reassurance that they will be well looked after. I have been volunteering at a dog rescue shelter for over 12 years too including doing inductions to new volunteers, dog walking and playing with dogs in the exercise yards, and experience with all types of dogs including reactive, nervous and senior dogs. I am currently studying a Level 4 Diploma course in Canine welfare, training and behaviour to extend my knowledge. I am honest, reliable, flexible and adaptable and am often free during the week including weekends and evenings so I try to be available to meet your needs and help out when I can. I offer a pre-meet and greet and listen to your pets needs so they will be well looked after. I will look after your animal with care, food, medication, love and exercise requests, and follow instructions. I will send regular updates and photos for your peace of mind and reassurance. I am fully understandable of rescue, nervous and senior dogs and am DBS checked. I only offer services in non-smoking/non-vaping homes.

About: I have been pet sitting on Rover for over 4 years and have experience caring for cats of all breeds, ages and personalities. I currently maintain a 5-star review rating and always aim to provide a calm, reliable and caring service. As a cat owner myself, I understand how important routines, patience and trust are for both pets and owners. I am experienced with feeding routines, playtime, administering basic medication, caring for nervous or shy cats, and providing regular updates and photos for peace of mind while you are away. I will provide your pet with the best care and shower them with the attention that they deserve. I work as a teacher, therefore I’m available weekdays and weekends in the holidays. I will be home in the daytime and able to care for your pets and give them the much needed attention they deserve. Term time I am available weekends and home during the day. I have a fenced garden property. I have four cats of my own to keep your pet company. I can keep my own cats separately from your pet if preferred. I do have a dog she is a Toy poodle, who gets on very well with my cats. However I will keep her separate from your pets so they are feel safe and comfortable.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Oldham

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in Oldham on Rover is £17.25 per walk (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking 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 Dog Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of August 2026, there are 4,494 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Oldham. Enter your postcode to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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 Oldham. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighbourhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poo and pee breaks, and distance travelled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Oldham.

Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s walk 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.

Every walker 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 .

  • 93% of Walkers can help with special care needs
  • 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 93% can help with daily exercise

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, 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 use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.

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 walker.

Yes, Rover is well-suited for last-minute bookings for Dog Walking. With 4,494 Walkers in Oldham, 45% respond to messages in under 5 minutes.
