Dog Sitting Bolton

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.

“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: 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’ve had dogs since I was a teen ager. I have house trained several along the way, and have experience with older dogs as well. I am retired after 52 years in financial services. My day is comprised of trips to the gym and the markets as I am the chef of the house. Until recently this included looking after Alice, our beloved Boston Terrier who passed away a few months ago at 15. I enjoy all aspects of dog care, and have had several dogs over the years including a Chow and a Shepard/Husky cross you I’m quite comfortable with any size dog. I live in a large house with a fenced back yard. I’m a short walk from several prime dog walking areas here in Bolton, and I also drive if a chosen location for your dog is required.

“This was the first time I had left my cats in the care of a sitter, as well as the first time I had been gone for over a week (I was gone for 15 days), and I had just moved to the area less than 2 weeks before I took this trip, but Wai did a fantastic job, updated me with videos every day and made taking my trip less stressful, knowing my cats were being taken care of whilst I was away.”

“Lai is fantastic- we appreciate the love she shows our girls. Not only does she cater to their needs so well, she cares for them as if they were her 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.

“Ada was absolutely amazing with Shadow and Lilly, both seemed to get along with her really well and we really appreciated the photos and videos we got. Highly recommend!”

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.

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: I have grown up around dogs and looked after pets for family and friends already. I love dogs of all breeds and love to go for long walks with them. I regularly look after a family member’s dog and I regularly walk dogs in my free time. In terms of my schedule I am happy to try and be flexible where possible to suit you. I prioritise looking after dogs and keeping them safe at all possible times. I live alone so I am always grateful for the company and can give them full attention.

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals for as long as I can remember, growing up with dogs, cats and rabbits in the home. Since buying my first home, I now have two cats and a rabbit of my own, and I regularly look after my parents’ cockapoos and five cats when they go away. I’ve also cared for friends’ retrievers and have experience with a wide range of cat breeds and temperaments, including Ragamuffins, Birmans and Ragdolls as well as some gorgeous fun loving moggies :) I offer a calm, loving, cosy home environment with a large secure garden where dogs can safely run around and play. Visiting dogs are treated like part of the family and can make themselves comfortable around the house, whether they enjoy sofa cuddles, quiet time or garden zoomies. I can't wait to have a dog of my own in the future! I’m patient, reliable and happy to follow your pet’s usual routine, including feeding instructions, walks, playtime, medication where needed (having owned a disabled cat previously that required medication) and regular updates for owners. As I have my own cats and rabbit, they can be kept separate from visiting dogs and cats if needed, so everyone feels safe and settled. I'm 28 years old and currently a Masters student completing my dissertation so I will be at home all the time and I live with my partner who's a high-school teacher. I know how important it is to leave your pet with someone you trust, and so I promise to care for them with kindness, attention and genuine love until you return to them. Ready to accept boarders, stay at your home wiht pets and offer dog walking if its close to my home. My current routine is ideal for pet care, as I’m home most of the week and love having animals around while I study. I’m currently at home throughout the week while completing my Master’s dissertation, so my schedule is very flexible and I’m able to give pets plenty of time, attention and company during the day. Because I’m home-based at the moment, your pet wouldn’t be left for long periods, and I can easily work around their usual routine — whether that includes feeding times, walks, playtime, garden breaks, medication, cuddles or quiet time. I also really enjoy getting out for local walks, so having a dog to care for fits perfectly with my lifestyle. I’m happy to build walks into the day depending on your dog’s energy levels and needs, whether they prefer a gentle stroll or something a little more active. If I go to the gym, I usually go very early in the morning around 5:30–6:00am, so it doesn’t take away from the time I can dedicate to looking after your pet but I can work this around the dog/cats routine. Overall, my routine is calm, flexible and home-based, which means I can offer a reliable and attentive environment for your animal while they’re in my care. I want every pet in my care to feel safe, settled and loved, whether they’re staying in my home or I’m visiting theirs. In my own home, I offer a calm, welcoming environment where pets can settle in at their own pace and be treated like part of the family. I have a large secure garden where dogs can enjoy fresh air, playtime and toilet breaks safely. Inside the house, pets are welcome to make themselves comfortable, whether they prefer being close by, relaxing in a quiet spot, or having space to themselves. I always follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding instructions, walks, medication, sleep arrangements and any specific rules or preferences from their owner. Because I have two cats and a rabbit of my own, I’m very mindful of introductions, boundaries and keeping animals safe. My own pets can be kept separate from visiting pets if needed, and I would always discuss this with owners beforehand to make sure the arrangement is suitable for everyone. I’m also happy to care for one or two dogs/cats at a time if needed or just look after one if that helps your pet feel more settled and gives you extra peace of mind. I take time to understand each animal’s personality, behaviour and needs before a booking, including how they are with other animals, whether they have any anxieties, allergies, medical needs or triggers, and what helps them feel calm. I believe in gentle, patient care and would never force interaction or rush a pet who needs time to adjust. Happy to have a call or meeting beforehand if that makes you feel more comfortable. If I’m caring for pets in an owner’s home, I treat the home with the same respect and care I would expect in my own. I’ll make sure pets are fed, checked, comforted and cared for properly, and I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos so owners know their pet is happy and well looked after.

About:

“Zuzanna has been amazing from start to finish! She did a lovely introductory meet & greet, and my cat took to her straight away—it was clear she’s confident and comfortable around animals, especially cats. Throughout her time looking after my little one, she sent me loads of photos, which really put my mind at ease. It was so reassuring to know my cat was in such caring and capable hands. Highly recommend Zuzanna to anyone looking for a trustworthy and kind pet sitter!! 10/10 I will be booking again when the time comes 🐈‍⬛”

I provide attentive, safe, and reliable care for pets. I always prioritise the pet’s safety, comfort, and routine. I follow the owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, exercise routines, medication requirements, and any specific behavioural needs or preferences. I take time to build trust with each pet by being calm, patient, and consistent, helping them feel secure in my care. In the home environment, I ensure the space is safe and free from hazards, and I maintain a clean and comfortable setting. I also make sure pets are never left unattended in unsafe situations and are given plenty of attention, stimulation, and affection according to their needs. I understand the importance of respecting the owner’s home and privacy, so I always act responsibly, keep the environment tidy, and communicate regularly with updates for reassurance.
