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.
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 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.

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 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: 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 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.
“Rachel communicated perfectly regarding the booked walk, she let me know how Maggie was and sent me a couple of pictures during. Maggie was happy to see Rachel and Lister as always and she was very well looked after.”


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! I'm a 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: 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.

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.

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.
