“Wesley was fantastic, clearly cares a lot about the dogs he looks after. Took my puppy out early before it got too hot, regular communication throughout the day and she clearly enjoyed herself. Wouldn’t hesitate to book again ☺️”


About: From a young age I have worked at an animal sanctuary which rescued and re-homed a variety of abandoned animals from rabbits, guinea pigs, cats dogs and even farm animals ☺️ I wish I could have continued to do this into my adult years. Over the years I have had pets of my own and regularly look after my daughter dog and even take her away on short breaks with us. I enjoy long walks and always find myself jealous when people walk by with their pets as I walk alone. My mum is an Area Manager for Guide Dogs, before that she started her own dog training business which she ran evening classes which I would attend with her, so I have training experience. I currently work part time at home. I like to go for at least 2 walks a day which would be much more enjoyable with a dog to accompany me. There are no children at our home through the week, my partners daughter is here at the weekends she is 8 and also adores dogs, she practically begged me to sign up to Rover ☺️ We have a large fenced back garden which overlooks a local park with plenty of land for walking pets on short walks. We are also 1 minute walk away from farmers fields which is perfect for longer walks If you prefer for me to come and sit at your property with your pet this can also be arranged. I am also available to have your pet stay over on a weekend provided they are friendly and safe to be around children, we have children here alternative weekends, so if you have booked a weekend away or last minute been asked to work away and it falls on the weekend the child is not here if your dog is a little nervous around children then we would be more that happy to accommodate your pet ☺️ I care for pets as if they are my own. Pets will always be kept on a lead whilst out on a walk with me even after the trust has been built to ensure safety at all times. Please make me aware at the time of booking if your dog is not good with other dogs, children or any other areas of concern so that I can make sure you pet always feels safe and happy in my care. I have worked as housekeeper and nanny previously, for a home with 2 dogs. I had a key to the property, looked after their 4 children and 2 dogs. I am honest and trustworthy so if you are planning for me to come to your home when you are at work to let your pet out or take them for a walk I am more than happy to do so. If you would prefer for your pet to come to my home for the day so they can be fussed and walked and have some company while your at work, we have a bungalow so they have the run of the house and our fully fenced back garden which backs onto a park and the farmers fields are 1 minute walk away, so our location and property is ideal for pets.

About: I have looked after a wide range of animals for family and friends for most of my life. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and find it incredibly rewarding to care for them and ensure they are happy, safe, and well looked after. I have a friendly, well-socialised dog who loves to play and spend time with other dogs. He also enjoys being around cats, although they don't always share his enthusiasm! I I recently resigned from a high-pressure role to focus on improving my work-life balance and overall well-being. I believe there is no better way to do that than by spending time caring for animals, especially dogs. I genuinely enjoy being around them and find working with animals both rewarding and fulfilling. I have a secure, fenced garden where dogs can safely play and relax. I also have a friendly little dog who enjoys the company of other dogs and is well-socialised. In addition, I live close to several recreation parks and woodland areas, providing plenty of opportunities for enjoyable walks, exercise, and outdoor exploration.

“Rupert had a great time and was well looked after. He had his walks, ate his meals and had plenty of play time. I was updated throughout the day with photos and videos. Rupert will definitely be coming back to stay. Thank you!☺️”

“Daisy seemed very happy for her day at Joyce's, they had a lovely walk in the woods (nice n cool) we will definitely be back, it's a lovely home and Lilly is so playful and friendly 😊”

“Lovely people, looked after my Evie well and she had a doggie friend to play with all day too which made it easier knowing she was distracted whilst I was at work. Received some lovely pictures of her. Thank you for looking after her well.”


About: Hi! I'm a genuine dog lover with hands-on experience caring for both my own dog and my family dog. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs, so I always take the time to make them feel comfortable and loved while you're away. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playing fetch, or simply relaxing with company, I'll make sure they receive plenty of affection. I have a large, quiet field directly behind my home, which is perfect for safe walks and letting energetic dogs enjoy plenty of space (where appropriate and with your permission). I know how important it is for owners to feel confident that their pet is in good hands. I'll happily follow your dog's usual routine, including feeding schedules and any special instructions to help them feel at home. If your dog is used to sleeping in someone's bedroom or needs extra reassurance at night, I'm more than happy to accommodate this so they feel as comfortable and settled as possible. I understand how difficult it can be to leave your pet, so I'll provide regular updates and photos to give you peace of mind while you're away. Although I'm new to Rover, I've spent years caring for dogs through my own pet and my family dog. This has given me practical experience with training, walks, playtime, grooming, and recognising when a dog needs extra attention or reassurance. I work from home Monday-Friday so I can keep your dog company all day and also take care of their needs and walk them before/after work or on a lunch time. I am available most weekends so get in touch to find out my availability. I have a fenced garden and have my own very friendly dog who loves company. He loves to chill out but also likes to run around with other dogs. I am happy to crate your dog or let them sleep wherever is most comfortable for them.
“Reggie had a great time with John and was really well looked after! He understood his needs! John had brilliant communication and kept us updated though out. Thank you so much for looking after Reggie!”
About: I’m a huge dog lover and have plenty of hands-on experience caring for dogs of different ages, sizes and personalities. I have dogs of my own, so I completely understand how important it is to know that your pet is safe, happy and genuinely cared for while you’re away or at work. I’m confident with puppies and energetic dogs, including toilet training, basic training, feeding routines, walks and plenty of play and enrichment. I’m also happy to follow your dog’s usual routine and any specific instructions you have. I’ll treat every dog in my care as if they were my own, with lots of attention, patience and affection. I’m also more than happy to send regular photos and updates so you can relax knowing your dog is having a lovely time. 🐶❤️ I work shifts, which gives me plenty of flexibility and days off throughout the week to dedicate to pet care. Dogs are a big part of our lifestyle — we have a static caravan in the Lake District as well as a motorhome, and our dogs regularly come away with us. When I’m caring for a dog over several nights, and with the owner’s permission, I’d be more than happy for them to join us on our little adventures too! 🐾 Whether we’re at home or away, I’ll always follow your dog’s normal routine and make sure they get plenty of walks, attention, playtime and cuddles. ❤️ Your pet’s safety and happiness will always be my priority. I’ll follow their normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, toilet breaks, medication or any specific instructions you provide. I understand that every dog has a different personality and I’m happy to adapt to their individual needs. I’ll give them plenty of attention, play and affection while respecting their space, and I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you know they’re safe and happy. ❤️

About: I have always been around dogs, whether that be my family dogs or friends/colleagues.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Wigan on Rover is £24.15 per day (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

There are 2,564 sitters on Rover for Doggy Day Care in Wigan. About 88% of Wigan 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 Wigan 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 .
