“Halle is currently looking after Romeo senior 16ywar old Chihuahua. Romeo has only ever been left with family and has quickly built a trusted relationship with Halle over a short period of time. Halle is calm and caring with Romeo, the pictures are reassuring and I look forward to getting them. It’s reassuring as a pet owner to know Romeo feels relaxed and safe with Halle”

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: You're about to meet a serious dog lover. I've grown up with dogs all my life and have owned both a Labrador and a Pomchi, giving me experience with dogs of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I work from home, so your dog will have plenty of company, attention, and care throughout the day. I love spending time outdoors and enjoy long walks whatever the weather, so your pup can look forward to lots of exercise and fresh air. At home, I have a large secure garden where dogs are free to run, play, and explore. The garden is fully enclosed with no side gate, giving owners extra peace of mind that their furry friend is safe while having fun. Whether your dog loves adventures, playtime, or simply a cosy spot for cuddles, I'll make sure they feel happy, comfortable, and right at home while you're away. I work from home 3 days a week Monday to Friday, which means your dog will have company and supervision throughout the day. My daily routine includes a school drop-off between 8:30am and 9:00am, after which I'm home for the rest of the day until around 5:30pm when I collect my daughter from school. I work from a warm, cosy home office where dogs are welcome to relax with me while I work. Although I have meetings throughout the day, I'm able to give regular attention, toilet breaks, playtime, and companionship. I also take a full hour for lunch, which is perfect for a longer walk and some extra exercise. With a large secure garden for outdoor play and plenty of time at home, I can provide a calm, caring environment where your dog will feel safe, loved, and part of the family. Safety, security, and your dog's wellbeing are always my top priorities. In my home, dogs are treated as part of the family and are never left unsupervised in the garden. My large garden is fully enclosed, with no side gate access, providing a safe space for dogs to play and explore. I take the time to understand each dog's individual routine, personality, and needs so they feel comfortable and settled during their stay. Whether it's sticking to feeding schedules, administering simple care instructions, or providing plenty of exercise and affection, I aim to make their experience as stress-free as possible. When caring for dogs in their own homes, I respect both the owner's property and the dog's usual routine. I ensure doors, gates, and windows are secure, follow all instructions carefully, and provide regular updates for complete peace of mind. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your beloved pet, and I care for every dog as if they were my own.
About: I have had dogs for 17 years starting with a RSPCA foster Dalmatian called Lucky who had to be medicated daily on Metacam for his Arthritis. As part of my volunteering at the RSPCA i was involved with dog walking, feeding inc medications where applicable, assisting vacinations/microchips/healthchecks etc. I got to see Neutering and help on the Welfare Van. I currently have a 12month old little Chihuahua. I am available 7 days a week 24 hours a day 365 days a year including overnight and extended stays both at home and away from home for events, holidays etc. Free Meet and Greet to ensure a good fit and then just treating them as my own. If nervous dog etc I can arrange things around them.

“Thankyou so much for looking after Björn, he looked so happy in the photos and videos that you sent during the visit and it really put us at ease knowing that he was alright while we were away 😊”

About: I've always had a genuine love for animals and understand that every pet has their own personality, routine and needs. I take the time to get to know each pet so they feel safe, comfortable and cared for while you're away. Whether it's a playful puppy, an independent cat, or a senior pet who needs a little extra patience and attention, I provide calm, compassionate care tailored to them. I'm happy to stick to feeding schedules, administer basic medications if needed, provide plenty of exercise and enrichment, and most importantly, give lots of affection and reassurance. I know how important it is to trust someone with a beloved family member, so I'll always treat your pets as if they were my own. I'll also keep you updated with regular messages and photos, so you can relax knowing they're happy and well looked after. I work from home, which means I'm available throughout the day to provide plenty of attention, companionship and care. Whether your pet enjoys regular walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply having someone nearby, they'll never be left feeling lonely. My flexible schedule allows me to accommodate most routines and give pets the time and attention they deserve. Your pet's safety, comfort and happiness are my top priorities. My home is clean, tidy and smoke-free indoors, with a secure fenced garden for supervised outdoor time and play. Larger dogs are welcome to enjoy the spacious downstairs living areas and garden, although the upstairs is kept off-limits for them. I'm lucky to live close to plenty of lovely walking routes, green spaces and adventure spots, perfect for keeping dogs active and engaged. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, gentle strolls or simply relaxing at home, I'll tailor their care to suit their needs. I also share my home with one friendly indoor cat (Koby the Bengal), so it's important that visiting pets are comfortable around cats. We are open to separating them for some shorter stays. There are no breed or size preferences, but for the safety and wellbeing of everyone, I can only accept pets that are non-aggressive and well behaved in the home environment. Most importantly, your pet will receive lots of affection, attention and companionship throughout their stay, day or night, cuddles are always included!
About: We are a private domestic couple who have been together + working together for a number of years and have extensive experience in caring and looking after animals. What sets us a part is that we come two for one! So your pet will never be left alone and will receive a lot of attention, care and exercise as we live near a lot of beautiful woodlands! In our last employment, we both worked for a private estate and one of our duties was to look after the animals which included; 16 cream dachshund, 4 highland cows, 3 black sheep, and 7 horses/ponies. We have previous and current clients who we often dog sit / house-sit (this has been done outside of Rover) as well as the occasional dog walking. Our experience has also took us abroad - looking after a whole farm in Italy, as well as private dog and cat sitting including in Poland and all the way in South America - Argentina! Paula has previous experience in dog training Urban Search and Rescue dogs with former dog unit manager in Greater Manchester Fire & Rescue Service - including Ace a Labrador trained to look for survivors in disasters and Eric, another Labrador trained for fire investigation detection dog. Lukasz has experience with Greater Manchester Police Tactical Dog Unit as his Labrador was being trained for detection! Another Important thing is that we are also extremely flexible! As a domestic couple, we structure our days around providing attentive, in-home care, morning walks, regular feeding, playtime, and plenty of companionship throughout the day. Because we work together, pets receive calm, reliable, and personalized care rather than being left alone for long periods. We provide calm, attentive care tailored to each pet’s routine and preferences. In our home or a pet owner’s home, we follow detailed care instructions for feeding, walks, playtime, and any special needs. We live in a semi-detached house and have a fully fenced and safe back garden, however we do prioritise talking the pet out for a nice long walk where they can get a proper exercise! We also provide regular photos and notes to make sure the pet parents are kept regularly updated. We have Enhanced DBS and been Police vetted.
“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!”


“This is my second time using Ada. She's fantastic with Dougie and sends great updates and I never worry about leaving my boy with her - he seems to have bonded with her really well which I love because he can be a little sensitive!”


About: I’ve looked after my own dog since a puppy he’s now nine. I’ve also looked after other people’s dogs that have varied in age from puppies to senior. I’m currently on my summer holidays after finishing my A-levels. So I’m available most of the time. This can help those who need support with their pets while at work I have a big fenced garden and a dog of my own. The house is located away from the road which can help with safety. I live near the jumbles reservoir which is great for longer walks.

About: I am fully devoted to animal care as i want to become a vet in the future so this is a stepping stone to my hopeful future success. I am currently working Monday-Friday however my shifts leave a lot of spare time for me to spend time with your lovely animals. I work: Monday 5am-2pm Tuesday 2pm-10pm Wednesday off some weeks or 10am-6pm Thursday 5am-2pm Friday 1pm-9pm I know these times won’t fit for everyone but i am happy to help where i can! I am responsible for feeding the cat and dogs and i also walk the dogs daily. I also enjoy going out with my boyfriends dog as she can walk a lot further than my dogs so we get a lovely hike out of the walks with her.
“Toni was excellent with our two cats and dog, even the naughty cat who learnt how to break in to the food cupboard while we were away! Sent photo updates everyday and was very clean. Ensured my old dog received her medicine and even changed the schedule a bit when necessary, 10/10! Highly recommend if you need a reliable sitter!”

About: Although Walkies with Ferny is a new business, caring for dogs isn’t new to me. I’ve grown up with dogs and have spent many years looking after my own pets as well as those of friends, family and neighbours. As a former primary school teacher, I’m patient, responsible and dependable, and I’m canine first aid trained. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime or simply lots of attention, I’ll care for them as if they were my own and keep you updated with regular photos and messages. Pet care is now my full-time focus, so my schedule is flexible to meet your pet’s needs. Whether it’s regular walks, drop-in visits, daycare or overnight boarding, I’ll make sure your pet receives plenty of exercise, enrichment, affection and one-to-one attention. I always work around your pet’s usual routine to help them feel comfortable and settled. Your pet’s safety and wellbeing are always my top priority. I’m canine first aid trained and take time to get to know each pet’s routine, personality and any specific needs before caring for them. I provide calm, reliable care, follow your instructions closely and send regular photo and video updates so you always know how your pet is getting on. Home boarding will be available once licensing is complete.

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats since I was a young child, I have had dogs all my life and started looking after other peoples pets at around 16, I have two of my own large rescue dogs that come with their own issues so I am well experienced with animals with nerves. I understand pets that are shy as I have looked after my aunties pets that struggle with anxiety and we have built a bond overtime. I have experience with slightly larger breeds such as male staffies and pit bulls as I have grown up with them since I was 7, I have also looked after puppies before (less than 1 years old, not less than a month old etc.) I am willing and capable to care of a young pup. I have looked after many cats and understand some are not as sociable, I am patient. I am no stranger to being nibbled by puppies and giving them extra play time / longer walks to tire them out, I also understand older dogs need a more relaxed approach. I have recently finished college and I have much more spare time, as such an animal enthusiast I figured this would be the perfect opportunity. I wake up early and complete daily chores around the house and feeding / walking my own pets. I also sell online so I will often be posting parcels, I am 18 with a full driving licence and my own vehicle so transport is no issue! I am available all throughout the day. I have been trusted multiple times with peoples house keys and being able to let myself in / lock up their homes to watch over their pets. Our garden is fenced off and pretty decent space wise, we also have toys at home that have never been touched as our dog is not interested, we have a large crate if necessary and other dog beds, we have a guest room that can be used for your pet. We always have treats and multiple water bowls available. The back garden is safe and we do not take the dogs on the front garden unless they are on a lead.
