About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and caring for them has always come naturally to me. My first pet was a Labrador–Alsatian cross, who I absolutely adored and who sparked my love for dogs from a young age. Since then, I’ve also owned two Jack Russell Terriers, Jack and Russell, who I regularly walked together. Dogs are a big part of my family life, and I’ve often helped out by pet-sitting, feeding, and walking relatives’ dogs. I’m very comfortable and confident around all types of dogs and genuinely enjoy spending time with them. I would love the opportunity to meet and care for new dogs, giving them the attention, exercise, and care they deserve. I am currently working part-time while finishing my studies at university, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for your pets. I am available for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting throughout the week and weekends. I always prioritise your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine. I will follow any instructions you provide closely, including feeding schedules, walking preferences, and any specific needs your dog may have. I make sure pets are kept secure on walks and in the home, and I take the time to build trust so they feel calm and comfortable with me. I’m confident handling different breeds and temperaments, and I’ll always treat your pet as if they were my own.
“Indiana has been brilliant from start to finish, i couldnt recommend her enough. She is quick at responding and came round for a meet and greet within a few days, her experience and knowledge showed in conversation. She has provided really good updates on my cats whilst ive been away including pictures which i loved. She communicated if there was any problems with getting to my house on time which i appreciated. Ive been able to relax knowing my babies are in good hands. I will use her again in the future.”

About: Hi, we’re Caitlin & Jak from Atherton, Manchester and love being outdoors with animals on our days off! Due to work commitments, we are unable to have a furry friend of our own, which is why we love to care for dogs of different ages, sizes, and temperaments during our days off! This being said, we are reliable and attentive and treat every dog like they’re our own. We’ve grown up around dogs our whole life and currently have two Weimaraners and a Cocker Spaniel in the family, so we’re comfortable with high-energy breeds, regular walks, playtime, and keeping dogs engaged but settled. We are familiar with daily walks, feeding routines, and providing lots of playtime and companionship. We also understand how important communication is, so make sure owners receive regular updates, photos, and quick responses while they’re away. What sets us apart is our calm, observant approach — we pay close attention to each pet’s behaviour so they feel safe, comfortable, and settled. We adapt to each animal’s individual needs. So if this sounds like the type of service you’re looking for to keep you and your pets happy, drop us a message! I’m a newly qualified nurse with a caring, responsible nature and a genuine love for animals and humans! On my days off, I enjoy spending as much time outdoors as possible, whether that’s going for long walks, runs, or exploring new places. I also run for a local club, so I’m very active and used to keeping up with energetic dogs who enjoy plenty of exercise and stimulation. Being active outdoors is a big part of my lifestyle, which makes dog walking and pet care something I truly enjoy. My boyfriend is also in the military, so when he’s away for periods of time I really value the companionship animals bring. I genuinely enjoy having pets around, giving them attention, company, and keeping them happy and settled while their owners are away or working. Although I live in a spacious two-bedroom apartment, I’m very close to local parks, walking trails, and plenty of green space, so dogs will still get lots of outdoor time, exercise, and stimulation. There’s also access to secure garden areas nearby for shorter walks and toilet breaks. I also drive, which means I’m flexible and able to travel to local homes to care for pets in their own familiar environment if preferred.

About: I am a naturally quiet and calm person, which allows me to be a peaceful companion for your pet. I never rush my visits and am always happy to sit quietly with a shy cat or a nervous dog until they feel completely comfortable with me. Having looked after my cousin’s dog for a week, I am well-practiced in managing strict feeding schedules and ensuring pets get their exercise and toilet breaks exactly when they need them. Most importantly, I hold an Enhanced DBS certificate (on the Update Service), so you can have total peace of mind that your home and your pets are in safe, reliable hands I am a Weekend Specialist, available every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Whether you are heading away for a long weekend or just need extra help during the busy end of the week, I am here to provide dedicated care. I treat your space with great care and keep everything tidy and follow your instructions for feeding, fresh water, and exercise. I ensure all 'toilet breaks' happen on schedule to keep your pet comfortable and keep letting you know that your pet is happy and relaxed
“Damon really cared for my two cats, making sure they were well fed and watered and keeping their bowls clean. He is a friendly guy who clearly cares deeply for animals.”

“Lucy is fantastic. We had a meet and greet initially to make sure it was a right fit. Lucy was friendly and you could see her love of animals straight away with how she was with Apollo. Lucy has been to check in on Apollo twice now and she always makes sure he gets lots of play and attention as she would her own dogs. We would highly recommend Lucy to take care of your furry member of the family!”

About: I grew up around animals. I’m 22 and I’ve been around horses since I was just 4 years old. At home we also had chickens, rabbits, fish and a boxer dog.

I work a 9-5 so I am looking for evening and weekend jobs currently. This would preferably be in the greater Manchester area too. I am open to looking after any kind of pet. I like in a rented property so I am unable to have pets in my home. However, I have a car and a full driving license so I would be more than happy to drive to other places to care for peoples pets.

Wigan dog owners share their Rover experiences
Jess is really patient, professional and reliable. It is clear from the offset that she has your dogs best interests at heart and I know that I can trust her. Jess completed a meet and greet session and really took the time to get to know my dog before we started visits. I would recommend Jess to anyone looking for a reliable dog sitter.

Marie is very communicative. We received plenty of photo updates. Prior to the drop in visit we had a meet & greet and everything is positive. Looks like Neptune enjoyed her visit and we highly recommend Marie to anymore :) Thanks for taking care of Neptune 🐶
