House Sitting 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'm so pleased we found Yara through Rover. She looked after our dog, Jenny for a few days at our house and was brilliant with her. She has a real genuine care and interest for animals, and it came across clearly when we met her,but also how she looked after jenmy throughout the stay. We appreciated her contact with us over the few days and the photo updates. She even taught her a new trick! The house was spotless when we got back and Jenny was relaxed, showing she'd clearly had a good time. Will definitely be asking her to look after Jenny again and would recommend 100%. Thanks Yara!”

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.

“Amazing service provided by Ketsia, kept in touch through the stay and sent update photos which was very much appreciated. Our Crystal is a very anxious dog and can be reactive toward strangers but she warmed up to Ketsia within the first hour of meeting her which speaks volumes. Lovely girl and would book again, highly recommend”

“We used Mollie for several introductions with our dogs, and it was clear from the start that both our dogs loved Mollie and Hayden. We have just come back from our first 3 night trip away and returned to very happy dogs, and a lovely clean house, it was brilliant. We honestly could not be happier with the service they provided, we already have them booked for a week in June and wouldn't hesitate to recommend Mollie and Hayden to anyone looking for a reliable, caring dog sitter.”

“Would 10/10 recommend Sophie. She was so lovely with Polly with lots of attention play and walks. Sophie was so good at also giving us updates through the day. Also, left our house immaculate! Thank you Sophie.”

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.

“Our babies loved Leanne! We are beyond grateful and had the best wedding day knowing our fur babies were being so well looked after. She even left us some flowers and treats for the boys to find when we got home. Thank you so much Leanne!”

“Mia was absolutely amazing with our 2 chows, she followed all of their schedules and they absolutely loved her. We will definitely be using her again in the near future.”

“Martha was an absolute gem, we’ve never left Neville before so we’re a bit apprehensive but Martha put our minds at ease. Her love for animals shone through and it was very easy for us to leave Neville with her. Thank you so much Martha, we hope you enjoyed the last couple of days as much as Neville has. Xx”

About: I have have been around dogs since I was born, I bought my own dog when I was 18, she is 13 now and lives with my parents. I have dog walked for family and friends and taken care of friends dogs while they are away. I work 8 - 4 Mon - Fri so have time for dog walking in the evening and weekends. This also means I am available for boarding and doggy day care. I work from home one day a week so only really available for boarding over a weekend. We have a fully fenced in out door space. We have plenty of room inside for crates if required. We live on a quiet road but would never leave the dog unattended if the front door was every open. We are also right near Stamford park which is a great spot for a local walk. I live with my Fiance Harry. I will take care of the dogs but he is happy to provide cuddles and join in with play time.

“Well what can I say Milo loves his Auntie Sally! Sally stayed 2 nights at my home with Milo the 5yr old Yorkie whilst I was at my best friend’s wedding and I couldn’t have been happier. Our house was safe and my baby boy was well looked after. He’s smitten. Whenever I have to leave him again Auntie Sally will be top of the list for my boy :) P.s.

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover with two amazing dogs of my own who mean the absolute world to me. Dogs have always been a big part of my life, and I truly adore them — they’re my biggest weakness! When your dog is with me, they’ll be treated like family. I’ll make sure they feel completely at home, with lots of cuddles, attention, and playtime. Whether it’s a chilled-out day or an active adventure, I’ll tailor the experience to your dog’s personality and needs. You can enjoy your time away knowing your furry friend is safe, happy, and getting the best care possible — just like I’d want for my own. I’d also like you to know that I will completely respect your house whilst your away, any rules you have please tell me, if you’ve got plants i’ll water them etc. Feel free to message me with any questions or special requests. I can’t wait to meet your pup! The images on my bio show a number of dogs i’ve had the pleasure to either own as a pet, take on walks and dog sit. I’m currently doing an apprenticeship in engineering so my job requires me to work Monday-Thursdays. This is good because i’m available Fridays-Sundays which is great for a little weekend getaway! I have a car so don’t worry if you’re difficult to get too, i don’t mind. This also means i can take your dog to the best spots for walks and adventures! Weekends are definitely preffered I care for pets in their own home where they feel safest and happiest. I stick to their routine, give them loads of love, cuddles, and playtime. All you need to do is tell me what their specific needs are and they will be met!

About: I am super loving and caring person and I adore animals. I have a four year old pug called fatty his my best friend we do everything together we go shopping, walking, and to coffee shops together. I grew up with many different animals from small to large dogs, cats, turtles, chinchillas, parrots, budgies, rabbits and even a snake! 👀 I have a nice size garden to let your pet out I always leave the garden door open when I am at home so my cat and dog have easy access to the garden. I am reliable, hard working and caring. I will take a real good care of your pet and give them whatever they need. I will ensure that the pets needs are met on daily basis from playing, feeding and walking. I look forward in hearing from you. I am available a few days per week please get in touch with me and I will confirm my availability. I do work full time with the hope that this will become my full time job one day when I get enough pets to look after and when I get more requests. I have fenced garden and it’s very quiet around my area. There is a lovely park and a golf club next to me where I can take my dog fatty on a 1-2 hourwalk 2-3 times a day and I will be taking your dog with us 😊

About: ✅ Pet First Aid Level 2 ✅ Animal Assisted Therapy Certified ✅ Dogs- XL L M S ✅ Cats ✅ Birds ✅ Reptiles ✅ Small pets (Rabbits/Mice/Etc) ✅ Fish- Tropical/Marine I have been pet sitting for family, colleagues and the neighbourhood for years now. Easy going, reliable and trustworthy. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine as I have a flexible schedule and plenty of free time to dedicate to animals. This allows me to provide pets with the attention, companionship, exercise, and care they need throughout the day. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and can ensure they receive consistent care, whether that’s feeding, walks, playtime, or simply keeping them company while their owners are away :) When caring for pets in a pet owner’s home, I aim to maintain their usual routine as closely as possible to help them feel comfortable and secure. I take the time to get to know the pets, including feeding schedules, exercise requirements, medication, and favourite activities. Making sure to provide plenty of attention, companionship, playtime, and affection while ensuring their home is respected and kept tidy. I understand that pets can feel unsettled when their owners are away, so I focus on creating a calm, reassuring environment where they feel safe, happy, and well cared for.

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: Hi, my name is Aamina, I don’t think there’s ever been a point in my life where I haven’t been surrounded by animals, I’m studying vet medicine at the university for Nottingham I have my own cat, Olive (the adorable-ist thing in my profile picture) and so I have a lot of experience with clearing litter, feeding appropriate portions and administering oral medicine.
