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.
About: I have had dogs and various pets all my life ranging from small mammals rats, guinea pigs and small fish. I have had large, medium and small sized dogs (German Shepherd, two Cocker Spaniels and a Jack Russell). I have also had two cats. This has developed a passion and love for all animals. This means I am dedicated to providing the best care for your furry loved ones. Whilst only currently having 1 year of experience providing pet care I do come from family background of highly qualified, experienced and professional dog walkers and pet sitters who have been operating in the Leicestershire area since 2005. This means I have experienced professionals on hand to help answer any questions or queries that you may have.

I am available full time for all your pet care needs from 7am-7pm Monday till Friday for pet sitting requests please provide up to 2 weeks notice this allows time to arrange a meeting prior to taking on your fury little family for you to ask any questions that you may have and to discuss any additional information that I may need about your pets helping me to plan and provide the best care I can for your fury loved ones. I provide pet care at your home meaning that you don’t have to worry about your fury family being up rooted whilst your away you can feel safe in the knowledge that they are being looked after in their/your own home any access keys (for example front and back door) will be placed in a safe place this will be discussed and agreed with you this ensures that you never have to worry about your keys going missing, I am happy to provide you with constant updates on how your fury loved ones are doing whilst you are away meaning you don’t have to worry and can see that even though you’re away that they’re having a great time too.

I will also ensure that your household is well cleaned and maintained during your time away. All of this ensures that your fury loved ones get the best possible care they can and you can enjoy your holiday completely stress free

“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 have worked in emergency veterinary care for 5 years now, and have a lot of experience with all types of different animals! I have completed my VCA course through Myerscough college and am pursuing my Veterinary Nursing Diploma. Prior to working where I am now, I also worked at the RSPCA rehoming centre - spending time with the dogs and cats, caring for them before they went off to their new homes. I have two cats, Leonis and Cookie, who I absolutely adore. Prior to these two, I also had Holly and Bailey - two Ragdolls, who lived until they were 18! I currently work 5 days in (working nights) 5 days off, so I have plenty of time to spend time with your babies, especially when I am off work! Even on my days in, I would be able to pop round to feed, toilet, and spend some quality time if your pet wanted, too. Pets definitely rule the roost when it comes to doing home visits, so I would do all of their normal routines to the best of my ability. If dogs have a favourite route to walk, I’ll do my best to let them enjoy that walk too!

About: 🐾 My profile: My last furry friend is a miniature schnauzer ( her name is Beyonce) who had lived up to 16 years old . In her old age, I had developed skills to take care of senior dog, including special diets and precise medication schedules. I provide the patience and vigilance senior pets deserve. On the other side, I also enjoyed having dogs at all ages. I take care of dogs for my friends, family and neighbours from time to time and it is always fascinating to have their company:) I’m looking forward to take care of and be friends with your lovely furry friends! Im currently working part time basis and my partner is working from home ,therefore we will be able to take care of your lovely fur friends the whole week! Just text me for any flexible schedule request ! I have a fenced garden for your pets, can also create a crate if your pet needs one. Would be able to take dogs for a walk outside park in the estate / walkable pathway along golf course nearby.

About: 🐾 Hi! I’ve been surrounded by dogs for as long as I can remember. Growing up with them means they’ve always been like a little best friend, and bringing up my own puppy has honestly been one of the best things ever! Nothing lifts me more than spending time with dogs, whether that’s going on walks or having lots of cuddles. I’ve looked after friends and families dogs whilst they’ve been away on holiday, and I genuinely enjoy making sure they’re happy and well looked after. I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and ages, from puppies to big, strong breeds, like my XL American Bully girl, so I’m confident handling all kinds of doggies. I love that each dog has their own personality, so I’ll always take time to get to know them and familiarise myself with any additional assistance they need. And of course, I’ll always make sure they feel safe and happy - treating your dog just like they’re one of my own 🐶💕 Xx I currently work full time, with availability on the weekends to get to know your pups! 🐶 I am also free some evenings on request, please just drop me a message 💛 I’ll take time to get to know any special care requirements, training and routines before caring for your doggos and will take that responsibility very seriously. I’ll always keep dogs on their lead unless you’ve told me it’s safe to let them off and be mindful if you’ve told me they are anxious pups 💛 When caring for your fur baby in your home, I’ll treat your home with respect, keeping it clean, tidy, and secure - just as I would with my own. I’ll make sure your pooch has everything they need, including fresh water, meals, regular toilet opportunities, exercise, playtime, and LOTS of love and attention. I’d like for you both to feel comfortable, safe and happy while spending time apart which can be difficult as it is 💛

About: I am currently in my final year of veterinary school and have a wide range of experience with different dogs and their medical issues. I am comfortable in giving medication and recognising when things aren’t quite right. I have previously had my own house sitting and dog walking business before starting veterinary school so I am comfortable with all aspects of caring for your pets. I’m currently in my final year of veterinary school so my weekends off are filled with lots of walks with my own dog and time spent at the stables with the horses. I would love to share this time with some other dogs too as well as any weeks or days off I have between my current rotations. I have great walks from my front door and two other friendly dogs who would love to keep your dog company. They would be very much part of the family, or if they feel more comfortable in their own home I can stay with them there.

“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: I've taken care of cats and dogs my whole life. They've always been in my home. I currently have two cats and I would love to take care of more animals I am a store manager and set my own rotas. So, I should be able to fit the pet care around my schedule. There should be no issues! I would take care of your home as if it was my own. I would be mindful that I would be coming into the cat/dogs home so will let them take the time to get used to me.
“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: 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.

About: I have grown up with dogs my whole life and have experience with dogs from 1 year old to 18 years old. I’ve also always had a variety of other pets including cats, rabbits, Guinea pigs, hamsters, chinchillas and even Giant African Land Snails. I have even featured as a rescuer on Channel 4’s Dog Rescuers. Unfortunately due to the nature of my job as international cabin crew it is no longer possible for me to have pets of my own so I am pouring all my love for animals into looking after other people’s pets and making sure they feel right at home in my care. Offering a loving home away from home environment where your pets can feel safe, comfortable, and truly cared for while you are away. As a member of cabin crew I bring a calm, caring and compassionate nature. I am trained to stay calm during any number of situations and this transfers easily to the care of animals. I have standard and enhanced DBS certificates due to my job as well as through tutoring which I have been doing alongside my work. I live with my husband Matt, in a lovely home with a fenced, secure garden which has both grass and patio areas and we live adjacent to fields and the bus route for save walking routes. I’m also an avid runner and love having company on runs for those pets that would prefer extra exercise. I am on a part time roster so every fourth week is a week off. When I am in work, my typical working block would be 3-4 days away and then 2-3 days off at home without any other commitments. This means I am able to commit completely to looking after and playing with your dog on my available days. I have a secure, fenced back garden where your dog can roam freely and have areas nearby for safe walking routes away from main roads.

About: As a lifelong dog owner, I’ve had the pleasure of caring for Labradors, Cocker Spaniels, and Border Collies, giving me experience with dogs of different sizes, energy levels, and personalities. I’ve also been trusted by neighbours and friends to check in and care for their cats whilst they were away. I know how important it is to leave your pet with someone dependable, and I’m committed to providing safe, loving, and attentive care. Your dog’s happiness, wellbeing, and routine will always be my top priority. I currently work part-time in the evenings from 4:00pm–9:00pm, which means I have plenty of availability during the day for dog walks, drop-in visits, and pet care. I’m available most mornings and afternoons throughout the week, and I can make time for weekends. I’ll also always keep owners updated with photos and messages so you know your pet is happy and well looked after. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I always take the time to learn about their routine, personality, and any special requirements before providing care. During walks and home visits, I’ll treat your pet as if they were my own, ensuring they receive plenty of attention, exercise, fresh water, and affection. I’ll also send regular updates and photos for complete peace of mind.

“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 owned and cared for dogs, cats and horses from a young age, from large breeds such as German Shepherds to small breeds like Toy Poodles. I have experience with puppies, senior, nervous and reactive dogs, including raising two litters of puppies.

I can offer a range of times throughout the week and will always do my best to accommodate your routine. Your pet's safety and happiness are my priority.

About: I’ve had pets since 2, 3 cats till I was 17 and a dog from 7-19! I currently have my own cat, Fig. My mum currently has 2 cats and a dog whom I look after when I visit. I used to look after a neighbours dog occasionally when I was a teenager I currently work full time but I work different shift patterns so I would be able to pop in at any point in the day/week. My current cat is an indoor cat. So if I were to have a pet lodge here they would have to be comfortable with other pets. My cat has been fine with other animals. I regularly take him to my mums house on visits and he gets along with her dog and cats
