Pet Sitting Birchwood

About: I have been a passionate dog lover and carer since I was 20 years old. Over the years, neighbours, friends, and family have relied on me to check in with, feed, walk, and play with their beloved pets. I have experience handling dogs of various sizes and temperaments, from energetic puppies who need basic training support to gentle senior dogs who require patient, low-energy care. Living in Warrington, I know some great local walking routes and will always ensure your dog gets the right amount of exercise, mental stimulation, and, most importantly, love. I am reliable, highly responsible, and look forward to keeping your furry family members safe and happy! I am currently working part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility to dedicatedly care for both dogs and cats! I am fully available for pet sitting and walks during weekends, and on weekdays I am free anytime after 2pm. Whether your dog needs an afternoon walk to burn off energy, or your cat requires a timely visit for feeding and litter tray cleaning, my schedule allows me to be reliable, punctual, and attentive to your pets' daily routines. Safety and building trust are my absolute priorities, whether I am looking after your pets in your home or out on a walk. For dogs, I always ensure they are securely leashed, kept safe around other animals, and perfectly controlled during our walks. For cats, I am highly mindful of indoor security, making sure doors and windows are safely shut, and I always respect their personal space and boundaries. I am experienced in reading pet body language and will always send you regular photo and text updates during my visits or walks, so you can have complete peace of mind knowing your fur babies are safe and loved.

“We booked Marta to look after our 2 cats over the Christmas period. She arranged a meet and greet visit beforehand and it was obvious that she is an animal lover. She sent us daily updates and photos while we were away which was lovely. Marta also kept in touch on the day we were returning home to check what time we would be home and if she should set the pet feeder. We felt very reassured that our fur babies were well looked after and would definitely use Marta again!”

About: My name is Santo and I have over 15 years of hands on experience caring for, handling and working with large breed dogs. I have eight rescue dogs of my own and have also been fortunate enough to have ex-police dogs in my care. Over the years, I’ve helped rescue, rehabilitate and rehome dogs, including nervous, reactive and more challenging dogs. This is not just a job to me. Dogs are my passion, and nothing makes me happier than seeing a dog enjoying itself, gaining confidence and getting the stimulation it needs. I genuinely believe dogs deserve to experience life, not just be taken around the same block every day. Every walk is tailored around your dog and what you, as the owner, are comfortable with. That might be a steady walk around your local area, a longer countryside walk, time at a secure private dog field or, for dogs booked into my care for longer periods, trips to the beach and other new places. Nothing is done without the owner’s permission, and I always take the time to understand each dog’s personality, routine and needs. I offer both short and long distance walks, and I make sure your dog receives the full time you have paid for. Travel time is never taken out of the walking time. If you book an hour, your dog gets a full hour on the ground, moving, exploring, playing and enjoying itself. I am confident with large, powerful, nervous and reactive dogs. I am fully insured, wear a body camera while working for extra reassurance, and treat every dog in my care with the same patience, protection and respect that I give my own. To me, dogs are family. They are special animals with their own personalities, feelings and needs, and any dog trusted to me will be cared for properly, kept safe and given the chance to genuinely enjoy its time outdoors. Dog walking and pet care are my full time job, and I treat them with the same commitment and professionalism as any other full time business. I work from a diary, so each day is planned around booked walks, pick-ups, drop-offs, training sessions and the individual needs of the dogs in my care. My availability depends on the diary, but I always make sure every booking has the proper time set aside for it. I never rush one dog to get to the next, and travel time is not taken out of the walk or care time you have paid for. Your dog’s safety will always come first. I am fully insured and use a specially adapted dog transportation van fitted with secure, custom made, crash tested cages. I also wear a body camera on walks for added safety, accountability and peace of mind. I personally prefer to offer dogs more than the same walk around the block every day. Where suitable, I collect them and take them to a secure private dog-walking facility with one to two acres of space. This gives them the chance to run, explore, play and receive any appropriate obedience work or mental stimulation in a safe, controlled environment. I also offer countryside walks, with dogs kept on lead unless I know them well, have the owner’s permission and believe the area and circumstances are completely suitable. Any freedom is introduced carefully and responsibly, based on the individual dog rather than taking unnecessary risks. Dogs booked into my care for longer periods may also enjoy bigger days out, including trips to Lytham St Annes beach. I believe dogs should be given the chance to experience new places, different smells and proper outdoor freedom, while still being kept safe and following exactly what their owner is comfortable with. My home has secure, fenced areas at both the front and back. Owners are normally expected to provide their dog’s usual food so their diet remains consistent. Where feeding has been agreed for a longer stay, I use Orijen complete kibble unless the owner has requested or supplied a specific diet. Every routine, feeding requirement and instruction will be discussed before the booking begins.

“Arina was brilliant! My shy ragdoll cat took to her quickly and played! Arina was very communicative and so friendly over message. Really appreciate the photos and videos of the visit and seeing that our cat is playing and having a lovely time with Arina. ☺️ Will definitely be using her again 10/10 service, thank you so much!”

About: I successfully passed Alison Academics Pet sitting & Dog walking course along with a certificate that has been uploaded to my photos for reference. I have looked after dogs since I was 7. I love dogs so much so they usually love and trust me. You can trust me to keep your pet safe and happy at all times! My home is a very safe environment for your pet to stay and there are many lovely green areas to go around it as-well as a fenced garden. I will respect your home and rules for your home for drop ins or house sitting visits. I will give every pet a walk that best suits their needs. I have looked after many dogs with medical needs including my own. Most importantly I give dogs lots of love and affection and will play games with them if they have any favourites. I can look after up to 4 dogs at a time in my home for boarding. I can be with them pretty much 24/7. I can give them a minimum of 3 hours exercise a day depending on what your dog needs. I have a safe fenced garden for your pet to play during the day as-well and many lovely areas to walk them around my home. As for dog walking if you would like me to pick your pooch up from your home I will only be able to take them on a walk in the safest and nicest place close to your home as I don’t drive. Looking after dogs has always made me happy so I'd love to take care of your pet! I can feed your dogs based on what food you would provide and when you would like me to feed them. I will give your dogs as many walks as they need. I can crate your dog if asked to. I love to play fetch and any games your dog likes to play to keep them happy and entertained. Or I can just keep them company and give strokes and cuddles if that’s more their style. I promise to keep them healthy and happy whilst in my care!

About: I offer calm, reliable 1-to-1 dog walks, giving each dog my full attention without the stress of group walks.

You’ll also receive updates and photos so you know your dog is happy and well cared for. 🐾 Pet care is my full-time focus, so I have a flexible schedule throughout the week for walks and drop-in visits. This allows me to provide reliable daytime care and give each dog the time and attention they deserve during their walk. I keep my schedule organised so every dog receives calm, consistent and unrushed care. Your dog’s safety and wellbeing always come first. I follow each dog’s routine and the owner’s instructions carefully to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I provide calm 1-to-1 care, am fully insured and canine first aid trained. You’ll also receive regular updates and photos for peace of mind. 🐾

“Very pleased! Bob was so relaxed when we got home so I knew he had been well cared for. Really appreciated the photo of Bob playing - very reassuring. Already booked again 😊”

About: I've had pets all my life, growing up with a huge English sheep dog as my first best friend. I now live in Woolston with my husband and children age 17, 14 and 6. We have a Shorkie dog, a British blue shorthair cat, Russian tortoise, hens and fish indoors and outdoors. Pets are life around here! I'm fully DBS checked as I work from home as a tutor. I can carry out home visits for all kinds of pets and am happy to board cats overnight (your cat will have its own space to be in during the day and night). I currently work from home 90% of the time so I'm around to take care of pets and provide them with plenty of attention. I hold a fully DBS check because I'm an online teacher. I can provide house visits once or twice daily and I also offer boarding for cats (separate area of the house to where my own cat lives).

“Tracey was very reliable & kind to our cats 😊”

About: I have been around dogs since I was child. . I grew up in a multi dog house hold and have never not owned one. I am at ease with any breed ,I understand a dogs needs and I am well experienced in all aspects of their care and training. I am experienced in dealing with highly anxious dogs and how to help them adapt to their owner being away. Happy and competent to administer medication as needed. I currently work in the NHS and have done for many years in a clinical role however animals particularly dogs are my one love .. and life is too short not to be doing something that you passionately enjoy 😊 Life would not be life without animals in it 🥰 happy to consider any animal not just dogs and cats. I am also a snake owner. I will care for your pet as if they were my own and how I would want my pets to be cared for by somebody I had entrusted with them.

About: Hi there! We are an animal-loving family of four (with two children ages 11 and 9). We absolutely love animals but at the moment we do not have a pet of our own and we look forward to sharing our affection and attention with your fur baby! I had cats and dogs (and mice!) growing up and miss having them around the house. Our kids absolutely dote on animals so they won’t be short on attention and love! We live in Warrington in a comfortable house with plenty of space. I am at home during the working day and we live on a quiet cul-de-sac with a safe enclosed garden. There are plenty of green areas nearby for walks and exercise. We are looking forward to hosting your pets and getting to know them. I work from home full-time so will be here to give your dog company and plenty of loo breaks/exercise. My kids get home around 3.30 and LOVE seeing the dogs and having some fun with them. We will follow the same rules you have at home - whether dogs are allowed on furniture/upstairs etc. We have a secure garden so the dogs can spend plenty of time outside if that’s what they enjoy! We can accommodate up to 3 dogs at a time. If your dog is nervous around other dogs and you’re looking for an exclusive board this can be accommodated at a higher rate per night - please ask for details.

About: Have 30 years experience with rescuing dogs, then grooming. Only happy when I'm around dogs, and experienced enough to take on any challenge. Love dogs dearly, and go out my way to make them feel at home. Like to send them home beautifully groomed also. I also enjoy taking pictures and videos of the dogs in my care, which I send on to the owners whilst on holiday. I feel this gives them a piece of mind and they can see for themselves there pets playing happily or sleeping content. My dogs and cats are very socialisd with visitors, as they have met a lot in the years I have been rescuing, which I only do in an emergency, I find it extremely heartbreaking.My moto, Dogs will always come first!! I have no other jobs on the go, my whole day is centered around the dog im caring for, making sure he/she is completely at ease I have a safe fenced garden big enough for the dogs to have a play, or relax in the sunshine, i never leave the dogs unattended, and make sure there is always fresh water available, they are always treated like my own, which gives me great pleasure

About: Having had dogs all my life I am most content snuggled up on the couch with my fur baby! I used to work away a lot and know how hard it can be to find a stable caring environment to leave your fur baby with. I offer a home from home environment for your beloved pet and guarantee lots of walks and cuddles! My own dog Tilly loves company and would be a great companion during your fur baby’s stay! I provide all the home comforts to ensure your pet doesn’t get too home sick!! I have been looking after dogs all my life and love nothing better than walking down the transpennine way which is situated at the bottom of my road. I offer over night boarding for as short or as long as is needed Monday to Sunday.

“She was absolutely wonderful with our kittens and really went above and beyond. She brought her partner Jason along with my permission, which was very thoughtful of her to check, and he was just as lovely with the boys. They both clearly care a lot about the kittens. They even brought a few toys for them and kindly left them for me, which was such a thoughtful gesture. They also exceeded expectations when it came to keeping everything clean and tidy. I would happily book them again in the future 🐾”

About: Hi there! I’m Annabelle 🌞 — an all-around animal lover who’s been surrounded by wagging tails and wet noses since day one 🐾. My very first experience with dogs was as a baby, snuggled up next to our family Staffy named Aussie Dog (yes, that was really her name!) 🐶. When I turned 9, my mum gave me the best gift ever: my own pup, a Fox Terrier named Rosy. Not long after, we welcomed my Nan’s dachshund, Molly, and since then I’ve never known life without a four-legged friend nearby. I live with my partner, and while we’re not quite ready for our own pup just yet, we’d love to share our love and care with yours — whether that’s through dog walks, drop-in visits, a long stay at a home away from home or just being an extra pair of helping hands when life gets busy 🦴. A little more about me: I work full-time Monday to Friday, but I’m lucky to have flexi-hours ⏰ and can take up to a 1.5-hour lunch break! I’m caring, reliable, and absolutely adore getting to know each animal’s unique personality. Whether your dog is a bouncy ball of energy or a mellow couch cuddler, I’ll treat them like one of my own ❤️. Before any booking, I’d love to meet you and your pet to make sure we’re all a great match. It’s really important to me that your pet feels happy, comfortable, and safe while in my care 🐕‍🦺. I work full-time Monday to Friday, but I have flexible start and finish times ⏰ and can take up to a 1.5-hour lunch break. I can also work from home 3 days a week, which gives me even more availability to care for your pup during the day. At home, I have a secure fenced yard. If needed, I’m also happy to crate your dog to ensure a safe and calm environment for them to settle into.

“Absolutely brilliant. Thank you. Friendly, professional and had no problem looking after a dog in her senior years. Would definitely recommend. 😀”

About: Thankyou for coming to my page:) where should I start....Well i've taken my dogs and my grandmas dog to puppy training classes in the past which I loved.I also used to walk my elderly neighbours dog in the past to help her. I've also organised a dog walk at lymm dam for all local dog walkers for the Romanian dogs charity which was a good turn out! I'm working full time but working from home 1 day a week but at the moment happy to have a dog any day as I'm currently working from home full time.I live over the road from a large park so i can take the dog out on my lunch and after work if needed.I help my grandma with feeding and walking her dog and I grew up with two labradors in the family. Really miss having a little companion but it's not quite the right time to be a 24.7 owner just yet! :( I have a fenced backyard with a secure locked gate and a clean home so I'm sure your dog will be very cosy and comfy :) Working from home Monday to Friday so i will be able to keep your fur baby entertained with treats and a few walks on my break and after the working day is done :) I'm available for boarding whenever! I work from home Mondays and Fridays :) Happy to take on a dog for a weekend, a week or 2 weeks or more. I would only tend to only leave them if it's out of my control ie office days such as Tuesday to Thursday but I'm home for 4pm I work 5 miles away . I have a fenced locked gate in my back yard so it's very secure.I also am happy to have a crate if they are crate trained I have the space.
