About: I have over 20 years of experience caring for dogs of all breeds, ages and personalities. I run a dog walking service and have supported friends, family and local clients with regular walks, feeding routines and pet pop-ins. I focus on calm, safety-first care, small groups and on-lead walks to ensure every dog feels secure, happy and well looked after. Pet care fits neatly into my weekday routine, with availability for morning dog walks and pet pop-in visits. I focus on providing calm, unrushed care, so I limit the number of dogs I take on and keep a consistent routine that works well for both pets and owners. Safety is always my top priority. All walks are on-lead, routes are planned carefully, and dogs are never rushed or over-grouped. I closely follow each pet’s routine, provide updates during visits, and treat every home with respect. I’m calm, reliable, and fully focused on ensuring pets feel safe and settled in my care.

About: I have been looking after other peoples animals for over 8 years not to mention my own dogs and cats. I have regular clients who use me again and again. We are available most hours for your pets. Visits may start from 6am to 8pm any day of the week inc weekends and bank holidays. Pets are treated like our own in your home ensuring they are well fed and items cleaned (litter trays, bowls etc) and any other routine they may have
About: I’ve cared for animals my whole life and currently have 3 dogs of my own whom have very different personalities and energy levels. I hold a level 1 degree in animal management and I’ve directly worked on a farm with many different breeds and temperaments (including working dogs and guard dogs). This gave me experience in clear handling, reading body language early and making sure every dog feels understood and safe. All pets in my care get treated like my own consistency, kindness and respect. I can follow routines whatever they may be, and I’m extremely reliable and communicative. I’m comfortable with every breed and personality! I keep updates consistent so you always know how your pet is and what they are doing so your never wondering what’s happening. Looking after other people’s pets fits really naturally into my weekly routine. I already have structured daily routines so adding walks, drop-ins or care for your pets is easy for me to integrate without rushing or cutting corners. I stay consistent, organised and present so your pet gets calm, relaxed care every single time. My dogs get walked twice a day and have plenty of active playtime in the garden in between. I also use enrichment + puzzle games daily to give them mental stimulation, problem solving and calm focus so it’s not just physical exercise it’s balanced brain work to. When they aren’t in play or training they nap and decompress.
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

About: Since a very young girl I begged my dad for a dog. After many years, he finally caved and we got our first family dog. Billy was our whole world for 10 years and was considered the third child of the family. I took him on hikes, swimming, and of course he cuddled with me every night. My love for dogs is something that can’t be contained, and sadly for my boyfriend we have to stop at every single dog that walks past. I have over 10 years of experience with a dog, including many other people’s dogs; walling them, taking care of them whilst they are on holiday, and treating them like my bestfriend (they all are). I’m excited to hang out with some new friends and take them on my daily walks and adventures. I’m currently self employed which allows me time most days of the week to walk your dogs & spend a fun day with them! I have a car to drive to take us on outings and adventures when it fits. I have a moderately big back garden for your dog to play in, all fenced and gated. I live right infront of the fields with lovely walks all around.
About: Over the years I have looked after family and friends pets when they are on holiday or whenever they are busy. After moving to Wigan I am longing for a four legged companion to go for walks and to care for. I have 3 years experience of looking after dogs. I am currently work remotely from home as a video editor freelancer, so I have a ton of time and full attention to look after your pet. I currently live in a 3 bed house, with an fenced garden. We don't have any pets at the moment but would love to get one in the near future. We also have plenty of places to go for walks in our area. I am currently working remotely whilst my partner works part-time remotely so there will always be someone at home watching over your pet. We also love looking after pets during the weekends as we love going on longer walks then. For boarding, we have a fenced garden where doggies can stretch thier legs and go potty. We also ask you about your pets daily routine and stick to it as closely as possible to make it more comfortable for your pets.
About: I live alone so my full care and attention will be for your gorgeous pet. Not having pets myself means I thoroughly enjoy the experience of looking after others.

I have a large fenced open garden with a patio area and a large grass area. I live right on the canal which is perfect for long walks.
About: My name is Roseane, but many people call me Rose. I’m Brazilian and I live with my husband and my Corgi, Ruby. I used to do Rover a few years ago before I had Ruby, but I’ve returned so she can have some company to play with. I already have a few regular dogs that I walk. If you have any questions, just let me know! I stay at home a lot, when I'm not there my husband is who also loves dogs, there's just me and him in our house I prefer to take care of him at home, we play a lot, I take him for walks two or three times a day and he has toys. Thank you.

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 Wigan. 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 Wigan.
