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: As a lifelong pet owner, I’ve loved and cared for both cats and dogs of all shapes and sizes. My current busy home includes a high-energy Sprocker Spaniel, two large rescue dogs, and two cats of my own—a mix that has taught me a wealth of patience and a deep understanding of animal behavior and co-existing temperaments. Because I work from home full-time (9–5) here in Rochdale, I can offer your pets constant companionship and a reliable routine. Whether I'm house sitting, popping in for cat feeding and litter duties, or heading out for a dog walk, your furry family members will receive the exact same dedicated, attentive care that I give my own My routine is highly pet-friendly and adaptable. I work from home full-time Monday to Friday (9:00 AM – 5:00 PM), meaning I am on hand to provide constant companionship, regular potty breaks, and a consistent routine—with the exception of just one day every two weeks when I commute to the office. For walks and drop-in visits, I am fully available before 9:00 AM and can easily accommodate short-notice requests during the day thanks to my highly flexible lunch hour. I am also fully mobile with my own vehicle on weekends, meaning I can easily travel a bit further for house sitting, accommodate last-minute weekend requests, or safely transport your pet if needed Safety and peace of mind are my top priorities. Running a multi-pet home with a spaniel, two large rescues, and two cats has made me highly vigilant about animal body language, group dynamics, and secure environments. I maintain a strictly pet-safe, escape-proof home, and I bring that same level of caution when caring for your animals. Whether I am adjusting to a rescue dog's unique triggers on a walk, or keeping a watchful eye during a house sit, I treat your pets with the same patience, respect, and protective care that I give my own

About: I provide reliable and caring pet sitting services, treating every pet as if they were my own.

I am committed to maintaining pets’ routines, keeping them comfortable in their familiar environment, and giving owners peace of mind that their beloved companions are safe, happy, and well cared for. We have had family dogs most of my life. I currently walk friends and families dogs, I look after a few dogs when the owners are away.

Whether it’s a leisurely stroll or a more energetic walk, I take pride in providing a safe, fun, and positive experience for every dog in my care. I would pet sit at the dogs home, in their own environment. If I was to have the dog in my home the garden is secure & very spacious.

About: I have a Maltipoo puppy called Ralph, who I have raised since he was 8 weeks old. Caring for Ralph has given me valuable experience with feeding, walking, training, socialisation, maintaining routines and understanding a dog’s individual needs. I know how important consistency, patience and positive reinforcement are in helping dogs feel happy and secure. Before Ralph, I also cared for my family rescue dog for 8 years, giving me experience with dogs of different ages, personalities and backgrounds. Through both dogs, I have developed a strong understanding of responsible pet ownership and the importance of providing loving, attentive care. I understand that trusting someone with your pet is a big decision, and I will always treat every dog as if they were my own. I am reliable, caring and attentive, and I am happy to provide regular updates and photos so owners can have complete peace of mind while they are away. I work from home, which gives me the flexibility to provide reliable and attentive pet care throughout the day. As a pet owner myself, caring for animals is already a big part of my daily routine, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs and cats of all ages and personalities. I am available for pet visits around my work schedule and can provide plenty of attention, playtime, walks and companionship. I understand how important routine and consistency are for pets, and I will always ensure they feel comfortable, safe and well cared for while you’re away. Regular updates and photos can also be provided for extra peace of mind. Your pet’s safety, comfort and happiness will always be my priority. During walks, I will ensure dogs are kept secure on their lead unless instructed otherwise and it is safe to do so. I will always follow the owner’s instructions regarding routes, routines, feeding and any specific needs their pet may have. For drop-in visits, I will make sure your pet has fresh water, food if required, plenty of attention and playtime, and the opportunity to go outside where appropriate. I understand how important trust is when caring for someone else’s pet and home, and I will always treat both with respect and care. Regular updates and photos can be provided so you can feel confident that your pet is happy and well looked after.

About: I have been pet sitting on Rover for over 4 years and have experience caring for cats of all breeds, ages and personalities.

About: With over six years of hands-on experience working on a petting farm from the age of 14 to 20, I’ve cared for a wide range of animals — from livestock to a variety of dog breeds. Growing up in a dog-loving home, especially with high-energy breeds like collies, has given me a deep understanding of canine behaviour, needs, and personalities. Whether it’s providing calm companionship or active playtime, I’m confident handling dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I work full time as a teacher but I am free most weekends and evenings! This also means I’m off during school holidays all day so can cater for all pet needs in that time! I have a fenced yard with a border collie. Our home is dog and pet friendly! We live close to good walks for all the doggy walking needs!

About: Hi! I’m Ketsia — a reliable, animal-loving pet sitter who treats every pet like part of the family. While I didn’t grow up with pets at home, my passion for animals has always been strong, and caring for them is something I genuinely love. My goal is simple: to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved while giving you peace of mind while you’re away. I’ve cared for both dogs and cats with a wide range of personalities, including energetic, playful pets and anxious or shy companions who need patience and reassurance. I’m calm, attentive, and respectful of each pet’s routines and boundaries. I offer dog walking, drop-in visits for dogs and cats, feeding visits, playtime, and evening pet sitting in your home. I also provide regular photo and video updates so you always know how your pet is doing. I’m always happy to arrange a meet and greet beforehand so you and your pet feel completely comfortable. I work full-time Monday to Friday (8:30-4:30), but I’m available for afternoon/evening drop-ins and dog walks during the week. I also offer evening pet sitting visits and full day house sitting on Saturdays. I always try to be flexible where possible and will communicate clearly about availability. Whether it’s a morning check-in, an evening walk, or dedicated weekend care, I tailor my service to fit your pet’s routine and needs. Your pet’s safety is my top priority. Whether we’re out on a walk or relaxing at home, I stay alert, follow your instructions carefully, and make sure your pet is secure and comfortable at all times. I treat every home and pet with respect, and I understand the trust it takes to leave someone in charge of a family member. I’m especially mindful with anxious or reactive pets, taking the time to build trust at their pace.

About: I have always grown up around dogs with my parents having dogs since I was little. Since moving out me and my partner have now gotten a dog together. I love animals and enjoying taking care of them. I currently work from home three days a week and will update my calendar accordingly so have the availability in the week to help those days. I can be available in the evenings also just drop me a message! I am available most weekends & update my availability weekly. If your pet is to come to mine I have a big fenced garden with my own dog to play with yours! If your dog isn't great with other dogs no worries, we struggled with my dog at first as he has anxiety but working with him he is great now. I know how to handle dogs whether they need a cuddle or want to be left alone or if dogs are protective over food etc I can handle this as my parents dog is the same.

About: Hi my name is Martyna and I live in Greater Manchester, Rochdale. My family has a little teddy bear Pomeranian named Ruby for the last 8 years and I lover her SO much. When I was at University I would make my sister send me pictures and video updates on her. I've always loved animals and enjoy spending time with dogs and cats of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. I understand that leaving your pet with someone else can be stressful, so I do everything I can to make sure both you and your pet to feel comfortable and at ease. I treat every dog in my care as if they were my own and will make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and cuddles throughout their stay. Whether your dog loves being active or prefers a quieter environment, I'm happy to accommodate their needs and routine. I am committed to providing a safe, loving, and comfortable environment where your dog can feel at home while you're away. I will also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is being well looked after. With new clients, I like to arrange a meet and greet before accepting a booking request to make sure everyone is comfortable and it's a good fit. I look forward to meeting you and your furry friend! PROMPT RESPONSES Pet care fits well into my weekly routine as I currently have a flexible schedule. I am due to graduate from university at the end of July and am on a zero-hour contract with a real estate firm, where I am typically booked in on Tuesdays and Thursdays, with additional days depending on workload and auction schedules. Outside of this, I work from home, which gives me a lot of flexibility to provide consistent care, visits, and attention throughout the week. My routine is generally adaptable, so I can plan pet care around existing commitments to ensure I am reliable and punctual. Because of this flexibility, I am able to offer a good level of availability during weekdays and can accommodate regular routines, feeding schedules, and any specific care needs. I prioritise safety, trust, and consistency in both my own home and the owner’s home. I always follow the pet’s usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding, exercise, playtime, and any specific care instructions provided. When caring in a client’s home, I am respectful, tidy, and mindful that I am in their pet’s familiar environment. I make sure all doors, windows, and access points are secure before leaving, and I pay close attention to keeping pets safe and comfortable at all times. I take the time to understand each pet’s personality and needs, whether they are more independent or require extra attention and reassurance. I aim to create a calm and stable environment so they feel relaxed while their owner is away. Above all, I treat every pet as if they were my own and every home with care and respect, ensuring owners can feel confident and at ease throughout the booking.

About: Hi! I'm a 25 year old university graduate based in Greater Manchester. I have experience with different domestic animals, cats, dogs, rabbits, hamsters, parrots, and even some insects. I absolutely adore every animal I've cared for and have taken pride in providing a caring and enriching experience for each one. I love learning about each animal and their behaviour to provide them with a fun and comfortable environment whilst their loved ones are away. I have previously owned rabbits, stick insects, a hamster, and I currently have an American bully puppy who is a family pet and does not accompany me on sits. If you have a large dog I only require that they are well behaved on a lead. I’m currently quite flexible and will be focussed on caring for your pets during my time with them, including lots of play time and attention. I like to stick to your pets usual schedule so they experience the least amount of disruption possible. So just let me know what their usual day looks like. I will always look after your home, water plants, take bins out and anything else you may need whilst I’m caring for your pet. I’ll provide as many updates and photos as you’d like to reassure you that your pets are in great hands.

About: A loving family home with years of pet care experience, I have two lovely children who will make your pets feel at home. Also nice garden and plenty of walking routes nearby I can easily fit dog sitting into my routine because of my flexible work schedule and the fact that my partner works from home full-time. I work at the airport on a rotating 5 days on, 3 days off schedule, with shifts from either 4:30 am–1:30 pm or 12:30 pm–9:30 pm. This means I’m always home early in the day or have the whole morning free, giving me plenty of time to care for a dog. On top of that, my partner is always home during the day, so the dog would never be left unattended. Between my early finishes, days off, and our consistent presence at home, we can provide a reliable, structured, and loving environment for a dog. I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life and absolutely love being around them. Having a dog’s company in my home is something I truly enjoy, and I believe it’s a much more comfortable and reassuring option than kennels. My home has a large, secure back garden where dogs can happily roam in and out as they please, and I’m also perfectly placed for walks—living right across from a park and just five minutes from Heaton Park. With so much space and plenty of opportunity for exercise, dogs in my care are guaranteed both comfort and adventure.

About: ***PLEASE READ: I also offer pet care services for small animals such as rats, hamsters, rabbits etc at a cost of £10 per enclosure. (E.g if there's several animals per enclosure it'll be a flat rate for all combined.). Free roam animals are also included in the flat rate. ***Please ensure any dogs coming to my home are up to date on any flea/worm treatments and vaccines.*** Hey there! My name is Holly and I live locally in Radcliffe with my mum who also love animals. I'm a huge animal lover, who adores all furry creatures. I've always felt an affinity with animals ever since I was a child and I have had lifelong experience with my own pets. I have also volunteered at a doggy daycare so I have plenty of experience. I have been doing Rover for three years, and pet sitting long before Rover existed. Our own dog Lucy sadly passed away in 2017 and we haven't had the pleasure of having our own baby since, so we like to put all that love and care into looking after other people's companions. I am experienced with senior dogs/cats and can administer medication if need be, as our poor girl needed a lot of care in her old age. I am also fully insured and covered for things such as accidents, illness, injuries and property/possession damage. I am passionate about animals and my love for them means I will do my utmost to ensure your fur baby is always in the best hands. I strive to consistently go above and beyond for you and your loyal companion and always treat your pets as though they were my own, which means lots of cuddles, treats and love. I understand the importance of trust and security and can assure you that your fur babies are in the best hands. If necessary, I can provide enrichment activities for anxious dogs, we have licky mats, and I can on request provide extra things if necessary, all designed to soothe an anxious dog. We also have plenty of toys and blankets for your dogs comfort. It'll be their home away from home! All dog related paraphernalia are thourgougly cleaned and disinfected daily. I live in a house with a fenced garden, so your dogs can have a potter whenever they want in a safe and secure environment, and live close to many beautiful walking areas and woodland which I'm sure the doggies will love and enjoy. They will be on their own little holiday! I am at home mostly all the time and I can therefore offer a lot of flexibility if necessary. I am available 7 days a week, but please ensure sufficient availability as sometimes the rover calendar doesn't reflect this due to glitches. My daycare hours for doggy daycare are 8:30am-6:30pm If you have read this far thank you! I appreciate your time. I hope to hear from you and your fur baby! As I work from home, I'm adaptable and therefore offer several services including house sitting/drop-ins for all kinds of species, walks and doggy daycare too. Whether I'm house sitting or boarding your pets at my own home, I will ensure to do whatever is necessary to maintain your pet's routine, including any medication, dietary requirements, emotional or physical triggers, sleeping arrangements, toilet needs, etc. My absolute favourite thing is drop ins, as I can then care for your babies in their home environment, and knowing I'm making a difference to their day is so rewarding! Whether it's dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters or even less conventional animals please get in touch and we can discuss your specific care needs. Our house is secure and we have a garden which is fenced. We do allow dogs on all furniture as I see them as part of the family. I am also willing to use a crate if that's what your dog would prefer but I'm more than happy to snuggle up with them. When I do drop ins and house sits, I will wholly respect your home and space and leave it exactly how I found it, and ensure to follow any and all care planes outlined by you so you can enjoy your time away stress free. I can also water your plants if need be or any other odds and ends that may need attending to whilst you are gone.

Couldn’t have asked for anyone better to look after Eric. Cath and Pete were brilliant and were completely focussed on caring for Eric. They took an interest in him as an individual, and from the moment they met Eric were lovely and friendly with him, which filled us with confidence. Eric had a great time with them and this confirmed to us that we had chosen amazing, knowledgeable dog carers.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in Rochdale on Rover is £14.95 per walk (as of July 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 .

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 Rochdale. 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 Rochdale.

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.

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 walker.

Yes, Rover is well-suited for last-minute bookings for Dog Walking. With 4,260 Walkers in Rochdale, 45% respond to messages in under 5 minutes.

Many sitters keep their calendars updated in real time and you can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care in the next 24 hours, you can look for sitters with a 'calendar last updated' notice on their profiles.
