“Laura is fantastic! That's cats loved her. Laura would come in, feed them, clean the litter trays and play with them. She kept me up to date and contacted me if there were any issues. I recommend Laura!”

“Matt looked after my shy girl very well. She was in top form when I came home and seemed very happy with the visits she had received. I don't know if Matt ever got to meet her, unfortunately, but no matter - she was well fed and happy when she reappeared after my holiday. Many thanks, Matt!”

“Morag was absolutely wonderful looking after our indoor cat, she was really intentional about making sure she learnt about him beforehand and that we were a right fit for eachother, and sent plenty of updates and pics while we were away. Couldn’t recommend more!”

“Stephen is incredibly professional with great communication. Our rescue dog is wary of strangers but absolutely loved him from the first meeting! Stephen is clearly very experienced and tailored his approach directly to our dog and his needs. I have already recommended him to local friends!”

About: I have grown up with dogs & cats, so caring for pets has always been a natural part of my life. I have several regular dog-sitting clients who have trusted me to care for their pets on many occasions, and I take pride in building lasting relationships with both pets and their owners. I am reliable, caring, trustworthy, and dependable, and I understand how important it is for pet owners to know their animals are safe, happy, and well cared for while they're away. I treat every pet as if they were my own, ensuring they receive plenty of attention, affection, and the care they need. I work full-time as a teaching assistant in a primary school, which means I have sociable working hours and finish earlier than many people. This allows me to dedicate plenty of time each evening to giving your pet the love, attention, exercise, and care they deserve before and after work. Although I work full-time, I always plan my schedule around the pets I am caring for. Their wellbeing, comfort, and routine are my priority, and I am committed to making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you are away. I understand how important it is to maintain a familiar routine, and I will always do my best to provide consistent, attentive care. Unfortunately, because I live in an apartment, I am unable to accommodate pets in my own home. However, I believe this can actually be a benefit, as it is important for pets to remain in their familiar environment and maintain their usual routine while their owners are away. By caring for your pet in your home, I can help minimise any stress or disruption, allowing them to feel safe, comfortable, and settled throughout your absence. I also take great pride in being clean, tidy, and respectful of other people's homes. You can be confident that I will treat your home with the same care and consideration as I do your pet, ensuring everything is kept clean, organised, and running smoothly until you return.

“Isabella is a pleasant young woman and obviously loves animals. She looked after our 2 tabbies, including giving one of them medication, while we were away for a few days, and kept us up to date with photos and videos. We returned to happy, well cared for cats.”

About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs in a home environment. I helped train and house-train a cockapoo puppy from a young age and regularly cared for him while my parents were at work, including feeding, walking, playing, and general daily care. He is now 6 years old, and I have continued to spend many days alone with him. Three years ago, we also welcomed a second rescue cockapoo with more nervous and overexcited tendencies, so I have experience managing different personalities and supporting him both individually and alongside our other dog. I am confident with daily routines, walks, feeding, and providing calm, attentive care. I also have experience with cats through friends and family, although I have more experience with dogs. I'm currently a dietetics student at the University of Chester living on Chester campus but I am moving to a 4 bed house from August. I have time for walks and home visits and sometimes have availability on request for duration stays in Chester. I would care for pets in an owner’s home by following their usual routines closely to help the pet feel safe and settled in familiar surroundings. I would prioritise safety by making sure doors, gates, and leads are secure before and during walks, and by being attentive to each pet’s behaviour and needs at all times. I understand the importance of trust when entering someone’s home, so I would treat the property with respect, follow any instructions carefully, and maintain clear communication with the owner. I would provide regular updates if requested, including messages and photos, so they feel reassured while away. As I live on campus accommodation where pets aren’t allowed, I am available for dog walking, drop-in visits, and staying in the client’s home when needed. I am comfortable adapting to each pet’s routine and environment to ensure consistency, comfort, and low stress for them.

About: I’m a caring and reliable dog owner with around 3 years of experience looking after dogs. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine and needs, and I’m always happy to adapt to make them feel comfortable and at home. I can provide plenty of company, attention and supervision throughout the day, and I won’t leave your dog alone. I enjoy daily walks, and we have fields and woodland close to our home, as well as plenty of opportunities for playtime and cuddles. At the same time, I’m happy to respect dogs who prefer a quieter and more relaxed environment. I can follow individual feeding, walking and medication routines where needed. My home is a relaxed and caring environment where your dog can feel safe, comfortable and treated as part of the family. I work from home, so pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine. I’m home throughout the day and can provide regular company, attention and supervision, rather than leaving dogs alone for long periods. I usually start the day with a walk in the fields close to our home, followed by time at home for relaxing, play and cuddles throughout the morning. I normally go for another walk during my lunch break and then another one after 5pm, but I can also fit in additional walks or toilet breaks throughout the day depending on each dog’s usual routine and needs. I’m happy to adapt my routine to match your dog’s normal schedule so they can settle in quickly and feel comfortable while staying with me. My priority is always to make sure every dog feels safe, comfortable and well cared for while staying in my home. I keep a calm and clean environment and make sure doors, gates and the garden are secure at all times. I would always follow the owner’s instructions regarding feeding, walks, medication, routines and any specific needs. I also like to understand a dog’s personality and habits before their stay, including anything they may be nervous around or any behaviours I should be aware of. I’m happy to keep owners updated during their dog’s stay with messages and photos, so they can have peace of mind knowing their dog is happy and settled. I also have my own dog, Bailey (Cavalier King Charles), so I would always make sure any new dog is comfortable around him. For me, trust is really important, and I want both the dog and their owner to feel completely comfortable while they are in my care.

About: Hi, My name is Vida and I’m a 30 years old teacher. I work all term-times and off on school holidays. My partner works from home so looking after dogs works well for us. I love looking after dogs as I love them so much and I’m always happy to have my dog enjoying company too! I am comfortable with dogs of any age and size. I currently own a 4.5 year old goldendoodle, although he looks mostly retriever! My Goldendoodle is unneutered so it’s important that you take this into consideration when booking. He is very friendly, calm and playful, he loves meeting and playing with other dogs and he is used to having other dogs staying in the house. I take my dog out twice a day for medium-long length walks, these can vary from street walking to nature park/forest walks. I always take the dogs I’m looking after out at the same time with my dog. I have bowls, towels, toys and all basic necessities that your dog would need when they’re boarding with me. I truly make sure that they have a great time and feel just at home! If you are interested in dog boarding, as long as the dogs get along, I am happy to look after your dog! I am based in Saltney, Chester. My partner works from home so there is always someone in the house. I am usually out of the house Monday-Friday until 5pm and off on weekends. I am very caring, calm and loving towards dogs. I have my own dog who I love very much, and I love seeing him happy playing with dog guests!

About: I miss my four dogs when I am at uni and I would love to look after some pets at any time. I have grown up in the Peak Distric with dogs all my life and so I have spent alot of time looking after them, playing with them, cuddling them. I have had a variety of breeds that vary in size and strengh and have had all the tempraments and personalities under the sun. I have had breeds including Minature Daschunds, Doberman, Terriers, Collie and Whippets. I currently have 4 dogs at home: 3 whippets and my beutiful little sausage dog, Percy. I have looked after one or all of them for a long time and so have lots of experience of all kinds of dog inside and outside the house and in busy places. I am currently a student so I have lots of availability to pet sit. I have no responsibilities and so I am available over weekends and overnight stays also if needed to look after pets. I don't have a garden ay my house, but I live very near to a number of parks, only one road away on weither side of my house. I love walking dogs, whatever the weather and can get them all coated up and leads on without a hastle as I am very used to this. I am very road aware and off-lead aware with dogs aswell as I have grown up with them.

About: I have experience caring for dogs and understand how important it is to have someone you can trust with your furry family member. I’m patient, caring, and attentive to each dog’s individual personality and routine. I’m happy to help with walks, feeding, playtime, cuddles, and keeping them comfortable while you’re away. I’ll treat your dog as if they were my own and make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for. I’ve cared for a range of dogs, including Collies, Labradors and Shih Tzus, so I’m comfortable with different sizes, personalities and energy levels. I also have experience caring for elderly dogs and understand that they may need a gentler pace, extra patience and plenty of comfort and attention. I love spending time with dogs, whether that’s going for walks, playing, giving lots of cuddles or simply keeping them company. I’ll always follow your dog’s usual routine and treat them with the same love and care I’d want for my own. I currently work full time shifts but have availability in the week and some weekends :) I have availability for boarding and of course all the time to take care of your pup I always aim to make pets feel safe, comfortable and relaxed, whether I’m caring for them in my home or their own. I’ll follow your usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding times, walks, playtime, toilet breaks and any specific instructions you provide. I’m happy to give plenty of cuddles and attention, while also respecting dogs who prefer their own space. I understand that every dog is different, from energetic dogs who enjoy longer walks and playtime to elderly dogs who may need a gentler pace and extra patience. I’ll treat your dog like one of my own and keep you updated with photos and messages while they’re in my care. 🐾

“Hannah took care of our cat Salem for a week, while we were holidays. She is very professional and approachable. She followed every instruction regarding to our cat care and was very respectful to our house. Our cat was very comfortable around her and had no issues. Definitely would like to work with her again for our future arrangements. Many thanks Hannah!”

About: My main experience with dogs comes from looking after my own dog, Stella, who sadly passed away earlier this year. For the last eight years, I was mainly responsible for looking after her while my parents were at work. This included feeding her, keeping her company, taking her for walks and making sure she was happy and well looked after. Towards the end of her life, Stella developed dementia, which also gave me experience with giving medication and recognising when she was unhappy or uncomfortable. I’m a caring and attentive person and genuinely love spending time with dogs, especially going on long walks with them. As I’m currently at university, I have a fairly flexible schedule. I’m only in lectures from 1–3pm on Mondays, 9am–3pm on Tuesdays and 9–11am on Fridays, so I’m often available for pet care and walks. If staying overnight, I’d also be able to balance my university work on my laptop while making sure your pet gets plenty of attention and care. I’m currently living in a student house, so I’m unable to have dogs stay at my home. I’m happy to provide care in your home, where your pet can stay in their own familiar and comfortable environment. I’m also happy to take dogs on walks and make sure they get plenty of attention and care while you’re away.

About: I have looked after dogs, cats, and small animals, as well as people's homes. Having previously had two beautiful and loving, high-energy, cats (a Bengal and a Bengal-Ragdoll cross), as well as looking after young energetic puppies, I am comfortable caring for the needs of individual animals. I work fully-remote, so if your pet is used to having company during the day, that's great. I can take flexible breaks and provide walks/playtime and general care throughout the day. I have a safe 4x4 with a fitted dog guard to keep pets secure, in their own space. My garden is securely fenced so animals can run around outside without worry.

About: I have been surrounded by animals my whole life and caring for pets has always been a big part of who I am. Since childhood, I have had my own dog and gained hands-on experience with daily care, walks, routines, and understanding a pet’s individual needs. I have also cared for cats and have extensive knowledge about looking after domestic rats, including their behaviour, needs, and wellbeing. I also have professional experience as a dog walker and pet sitter with DogChill in Lviv, Ukraine, where I provided safe and loving walks, home boarding, and care for different dogs with different personalities and needs. I understand that every pet is unique, and I always focus on making animals feel comfortable, safe, and happy. I am patient, responsible, and attentive, whether it is an energetic puppy, an older dog needing gentle care, or a pet that simply needs some extra love and attention. I work part-time, which allows me to spend plenty of time with pets outside of my working hours. I am mainly available during the evenings and can provide attentive care, walks, playtime, and companionship. My schedule can vary from week to week, so I recommend arranging bookings in advance whenever possible. This allows me to plan my time and find the best solution to make sure your pet receives the care and attention they need. The safety and comfort of every pet is my top priority. I always make sure animals are supervised, cared for, and receive as much attention and time as they need. I carefully follow all instructions from pet owners regarding feeding, walking routines, medication (if needed), behaviour, and any specific care requirements. I believe that every pet has their own habits and needs, so I take the time to understand their routine and make them feel comfortable and secure. Please feel free to share any requests or special things your pet needs. I am always happy to help and provide the best possible care for your furry friend.
