Dropped Odin off and picked him up with no problem. Loved the meet and greet before to see how he would get on! I have one tired pup who definitely enjoyed himself. Updates throughout the day and great communication prior. Thank you!

Monty has just come back from another few days of doggy day care. As usual, we received plenty of videos of his adventures. They are the most caring people we have ever met when it comes to dogs. We can’t recommend them enough and feel so lucky they are in the same town as us. Always flexible with their times. Monty loves his time there and can’t wait to get in their garden as soon as we approach their street, he knows exactly where he’s going, for a day of fun and a catch up with Ted and Logan! Thank you

Tracy and her family agreed to care for Bubbles at short notice so I could attend a funeral for the day. Bubbles had never been left with anyone other than my own family members previously. Prior to the day care we arranged a ‘meet and greet’ which was a positive experience for both Bubbles and myself and this left me confident and reassured that Bubbles would be in ‘safe hands’ for me to leave her for a full day. On the actual day Bubbles was in Tracy’s care I received regular text messages/pictures throughout the day updating me on her eating habits, toilet breaks, play time ,walks and lots of cuddles. All in all Bubbles and I have had a very pleasant and positive experience with Tracy and her family and I would 100% recommend Tracys services which I will definitely be using again in the future. Thank-you very much Tracy and family for taking such wonderful care of my Bubbles for the day.

Clare was wonderful with my Border Collie, Phoebe! She provided regular updates with photos, showing how happy and active Phoebe was during her stay. Clare's home was perfect for a playful dog like Phoebe, offering plenty of space to run and play. I felt completely at ease knowing Phoebe was in such good hands. I highly recommend Clare to anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter. We'll definitely be returning!

Dexter had a lovely time staying with Vanesa and her husband. They both met me beforehand to meet Dexter and help Dexter get comfortable with them as he is wary of strangers. Vanesa sent pictures throughout the day and let me know everything was fine. Dexter has a load of eye drops he needs throughout the day which they were happy to do. When I got home Dexter was very happy and didn't seem stressed at all.

About: Pet care fits naturally into my routine as I’m home for most of the day. This allows me to provide regular supervision, outdoor time in the garden, play, and companionship. Dogs are not left alone for long periods and receive consistent attention throughout the day. Hi, my name is Yi Man, but you can call me Eva. I live in a spacious, dog-friendly home with a large, secure back garden, providing plenty of space for dogs to relax, play, and feel comfortable during their stay. I have two young children who are gentle, polite, and kind to animals. They understand how to respect dogs’ space and are always supervised, helping create a calm and family-friendly environment that many dogs feel at ease in. I spend most of my time at home, which allows me to give dogs consistent attention, companionship, and care throughout the day. I focus on keeping routines calm and predictable, following owners’ instructions closely so each dog feels safe and settled. For peace of mind, I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos, so you can relax knowing your dog is well cared for while you’re away. Pet care fits well into my daily routine as I spend most of my time at home. This allows me to provide consistent supervision, companionship, and attention. I ensure pets are not left alone for long periods and can adapt my schedule to their needs. My home is clean, calm, and dog-friendly, with a large enclosed back garden for safe outdoor time. I’m careful with doors, routines, and feeding instructions. I provide regular photo updates so owners feel reassured and connected while their dog stays with me. I only take a small number of dogs at a time to ensure quality care.

What I loved most was how comfortable Ava was from the meet and greet to when going for the day off she went comfortably with Karen and didn’t even know we’d gone! Karen kept our minds at ease with regular pictures and updates. Ava loved her time with Karen and the doggies and she will defiantly back 😊

About: As a Registered Veterinary Nurse with over 10 years of experience, I bring a level of professional knowledge and reassurance that many standard pet sitters simply can’t offer 🩺🐾 Working in veterinary practice means I am highly experienced in animal behaviour, handling and recognising subtle changes in a pet’s health or wellbeing. Your pet’s safety, comfort and happiness will always be my top priority. I am trained in fear-free handling, meaning I focus on creating calm and positive experiences for pets, especially those who may feel nervous, shy or anxious around new people or environments 🤍🐶🐱 I am also an ISFM Cat Friendly Advocate and have completed additional training in cat-friendly handling, allowing me to provide gentle, stress-aware care for feline companions 🐱✨ What really makes my service different is the combination of clinical knowledge and genuine love for animals. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. Alongside my professional experience, I’m also a proud dog mum to my Basset Hound Rosie, who reminds me every day how special the bond between pets and their owners truly is 🐶💚 When your pet is in my care, you can feel confident knowing they are with someone who is qualified, experienced and truly passionate about animal welfare. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine as animals have always been a huge part of my life. Alongside running my pet care services, I also work part-time as a Registered Veterinary Nurse during the week, which allows me to maintain my clinical skills while still offering flexible and reliable pet sitting and drop-in visits. Because I work part-time shifts, I’m able to plan my schedule carefully to ensure pets in my care receive the time, attention and routine they need 🐶🐱 On days I am not in practice, I have much greater flexibility for longer visits, pet sitting, walks and check-ins. When I do have a shift, I ensure visits are scheduled around my working hours so pets are never left without the care and companionship they deserve. Being a veterinary nurse also means I’m very used to structured routines and planning ahead, so you can feel confident that your pet’s feeding times, walks, medication and daily routine will always be followed carefully 🩺🐾 Caring for animals is something I genuinely love, so spending my free time looking after pets fits perfectly into my lifestyle 🤍 Your pet’s safety and wellbeing will always be my highest priority 🤍 As a Registered Veterinary Nurse with over 10 years of experience, I am trained to recognise changes in behaviour, health and wellbeing, giving owners extra reassurance while their pets are in my care. I take the time to get to know each pet’s personality, routine and individual needs so they feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. Whether your pet is playful and energetic or shy and cautious, I adapt my approach to ensure they feel safe and relaxed. I am passionate about fear-free handling, meaning I always aim to minimise stress and create calm, positive experiences for pets. This is especially important for nervous animals or those who may struggle with new environments. I will always respect your home and your pet’s usual routine — following feeding schedules, walk routines and medication instructions carefully 🐶🐱 As a pet owner myself, I know how important trust is when leaving your pet with someone new. That’s why I treat every animal with the same level of care, patience and compassion as I would my own 🐾💚 You can relax knowing your pet is being looked after by someone qualified, experienced and genuinely passionate about animal welfare.

Thank you for looking after Toby on such short notice! I needed to go into the office on short notice, I asked Monina if she was able to look after my 3 month old puppy. She responded so fast on messages and was super friendly! Monina was sending me updates throughout the day on how Toby was doing, which was very reassuring. Monina is kind and friendly and if I need a sitter again I would 100% go back to her. Thank you again Monina!

I'd treat your furbabies as if they were my own. I'm recently retired so there's plenty of availablw time in my schedule to take care of and play with your pets, including weekends! I have a spacious fenced garden and only own fish. Living near a large park means there's plenty of open space to walk dogs.

About: Hi, I'm Donna, a lifelong dog lover with over 15 years of experience owning and caring for dogs and other pets. Friends and family regularly trust me to look after their dogs when they go away, so I have experience caring for dogs with different personalities, sizes and exercise needs. I currently have a 5-year-old neutered Cocker Spaniel called Brodie. He is a loving, friendly and well-socialised dog who enjoys having other dogs around. He has a very calm temperament, is well behaved, doesn't chase wildlife and is happily relaxed around cats. Dogs staying with me become part of the family and receive plenty of love, attention and exercise. I provide multiple walks every day, as well as lots of playtime, enrichment and cuddles. At weekends, I often head out on longer adventures in the Peak District with dogs who enjoy exploring and longer walks. Equally, if your dog prefers shorter, quieter strolls, I'm happy to tailor their care to suit their individual needs. I understand that leaving your dog with someone else can be a big decision, so I always aim to make them feel safe, comfortable and at home. I'll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your dog is happy and well cared for. I work from home full-time, which means I can provide plenty of company, supervision and attention throughout the day. Dogs in my care are rarely left alone and quickly become part of my daily routine. Every lunchtime, I take a 45-minute woodland walk, giving dogs the opportunity to stretch their legs, explore and enjoy some fresh air. After I finish work at 4pm, I head out again for a longer walk of around an hour in the local woodland, ensuring plenty of exercise and enrichment each day. Most Saturdays, weather permitting, are spent exploring the beautiful trails of the Peak District. If the weather isn't ideal, we enjoy longer walks along the River Mersey instead. These outings provide plenty of opportunities for adventure, sniffing, socialisation and exercise for dogs that enjoy being active. I understand that every dog is different, so I always tailor walks, activities and care to suit their age, energy levels and individual needs, ensuring they feel happy, comfortable and at home while staying with me. 🐾 Your dog's safety and wellbeing will always be my top priority. I work from home full-time, so dogs in my care receive plenty of supervision, company and attention throughout the day and are rarely left alone. I have a secure, fenced garden where dogs can safely play, explore and enjoy time outdoors. Inside the home, dogs are treated as part of the family and have access to comfortable spaces to relax and feel at home. There is also plenty of space within the house to separate dogs if needed, whether for mealtimes, rest periods or if they simply prefer their own space. My dog Brodie is a loving, well-socialised dog who enjoys the company of other dogs and has a very calm temperament. He doesn't chase wildlife and is relaxed around other animals, including cats. I always follow each dog's usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, exercise requirements and any special instructions provided by their owners. Every dog is different, and I believe they deserve individual care, attention and lots of love while they're away from home. 🐾

About: I believe in truly 'person-centred'—and paw-centred—care! In my professional life as a support worker, I specialise in understanding individual needs and building trust. At home, I’m a lifelong animal lover and proud parent to a GSD and a kitten. I’d love to look out for your best friends whilst keeping your routine intact and your pets completely at ease. I have had pets in my family for the last 25 years and don't remember a time I didn't have an animal or 4 running around the house. I regularly am trusted to look after and walk my friends and families dogs and check on cats and am confident with all shapes and sizes and breeds. Balancing my career and my love for animals is easy thanks to my 4-day work week. It leaves me with three entirely free days each week to dedicate 100% of my time to walking your dogs and visiting your homes. On the 4 days I am working, I am still available for local early bird walks or evening tuck-in visits. Just drop me a message with your required dates, and we can easily coordinate a schedule that keeps your pet perfectly on routine. I understand leaving your home and pets in someone else’s hands requires complete peace of mind. In my daily job as a support worker, managing safety and building trust in sensitive environments is what I do best. When looking after your pets, their wellbeing is my absolute priority. I am highly observant of animal behaviour - skills I practice daily with my own German Shepherd Kai and baby kitten Mika. Whether managing a powerful dog on a walk or double-checking that your doors are securely locked, I treat your home and your pets with the utmost respect, care, and attention to detail, like I do my own. I am also DBS checked.

About: I looked after a Basenji with severe separation anxiety and a tendency to bite for two years. During that time, I provided regular walks, drop-in visits, and dog sitting. I also grew up with my dog for 10 years :) I work as a freelance artist from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to spend plenty of quality time with pets. I’m available throughout the week and I can easily adapt to your pet’s usual routine. :) I don’t have any pets of my own, so my home is a calm and quiet environment, which can be especially beneficial for nervous or anxious pets. I live in a spacious house with a large garden where dogs have plenty of room to explore and play. I’ll follow your pet’s normal routine and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for.

Clare was absolutely wonderful! She knew exactly the type of exercise and play that a dog like Suki needed, provided us with regular updates and pictures, and worked around our availability to ensure that we could enjoy our day whilst knowing that Suki was enjoying hers. I would highly recommend Clare to anybody - it is clear that she adores dogs and is super knowledgeable about their needs!

FAQs for Doggy Day Care – Tameside

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Tameside on Rover is £28.75 per day (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Doggy Day Care 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 Doggy Day Care. For more information on service fees, click here .

There are 2,889 sitters on Rover for Doggy Day Care in Tameside. About 87% of Tameside sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you are planning ahead for public holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day cover for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.

Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later collection to match your Tameside commute.

If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust collection and drop-off times when needed.

Your dog’s first day care experience is a big milestone! To help your pup settle in comfortably, we recommend:

  • Food and treats portioned for the day, with feeding instructions
  • Your dog's lead and collar (ensure tags are up-to-date)
  • Any seasonal gear, such as paw-safe wax for winter or a cooling vest for the summer
  • Medication, if applicable, with clear dosage notes
  • Any special care instructions or training tips to help your sitter provide the most personalised care possible

Tip: Upload this information directly through the Rover app before drop-off. The more context you provide, the better your sitter can tailor the day to your dog.

While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog's vaccines is the best way to be 'boarding ready'. Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.

Sitters in North West England may request that your dog be up-to-date on core vaccines, such as Canine Distemper, Canine Parvovirus, Canine Adenovirus (also known as DHP or DHPPi), Leptospirosis and Kennel Cough. Cats may be required to have Feline Panleucopenia Virus, Feline Herpesvirus, Feline Calicivirus, and Feline Leukaemia Virus up to date.

By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poo breaks occured. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available for dedicated customer support by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalised, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

Every sitter 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 .

Emergency support is available by phone or email in English, French, German, and Spanish from Mon-Sat 9am to 6pm. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a qualified vet or offer other resources to help.

If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s booking protection means Rover Support will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.

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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

We require sitters to operate in compliance with applicable local licensing requirements. In England, pet sitters who board dogs or provide doggy day care as a business may need a valid licence under the Animal Welfare (Licensing of Activities Involving Animals) Regulations 2018. When vetting your sitter, ask if they meet local licensing requirements for dog boarding. This confirmation is important for coverage under the Rover Guarantee. Read more about our requirement for following local licensing requirements .
