About: I have both had dogs since our childhood, and currently have two friendly cocker spaniels. All my dog experience has been from pups, I even acted as midwife for my next door neighbours bitch giving birth 3 years ago! My location has a large country park at the end of the street, and woodland behind me which I manage as a volunteer warden. I have a dog friendly rear garden and my cockers love drinking from the barrel water feature. I have very tolerant pets and they happily engage with other visiting dogs,and a previous neighbours cat. I have an engaging daily routine for them, so much so I'm convinced my dogs can tell the time, when their next activity is due. I am a stay at home foster-dad, and my wife works, sometimes from home. I volunteer in my local community woodlands, and other institutions throughout the day but I estimate our dogs are not at home for more than 3 hours alone. Apart from a clean and secure rear garden, my home is partitioned in such a way that a scared visitor could have seclusion if required. I do have a crate in the kitchen, and my dogs use it for privacy/ sleep ( door open). If your dog would be anxious at night, then I can keep my dogs upstairs with me or they can remain in the kitchen to keep their visitor company. Whichever works.

About: I’ve grown up around dogs and currently help care for my family’s two dogs, including daily walks, feeding, and general care. I also have experience looking after multiple dogs at once, having stayed at my sister’s home to care for her four Pomeranians while she was away. I’m confident handling different dog personalities and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well looked after. Pet care fits really well into my routine right now as I’ve recently finished work and have a flexible schedule before starting university. I’m available throughout the week and weekends for walks, feeding, and spending quality time with pets. I’m active and reliable, so I’ll make sure each pet gets plenty of attention, exercise, and care I usually take dogs on walks with my own dogs, either around local parks or Pennington Flash, and sometimes let them run around and chill in a big garden. I make sure they get plenty of exercise, fresh air, and attention. The main thing is keeping them happy, safe, and comfortable while they’re with me.

Louise took wonderful care of our two sproodles, Ralph and Hugo, while we were away, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the start, she was reliable, friendly, and clearly very experienced with dogs. Ralph and Hugo both have plenty of energy and their own little quirks, but Louise handled them brilliantly. She made sure they got plenty of exercise, attention, and affection, and it was obvious they were completely comfortable and happy in her care. We especially appreciated the regular updates and photos, which gave us real peace of mind while we were away. We came home to two very content, well-looked-after dogs, and it was clear they’d had a great time. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Louise to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog walker, and we’ll definitely be asking her again in the future.

About: Experienced & Reliable Dog Lover Offering Walks, Daycare & Boarding in Bolton and Birmingham 🐾 ⸻ About Me Hi, I’m Angie, a lifelong dog owner and experienced dog carer who understands just how important it is to know your dog is in safe and capable hands. I treat every dog in my care with the same attention, patience and love that I gave my own dog. Over many years of owning and caring for dogs, I’ve gained experience with a wide range of breeds, personalities and care needs. I grew up around large, energetic dogs – particularly Dalmatians – so I’m very comfortable handling bigger, more boisterous dogs who need plenty of exercise, structure and engagement. My own dog, Chapi, was a much-loved English Bulldog who sadly passed away last year. Caring for him brought so much joy to my life and gave me valuable experience in understanding dogs’ routines, health needs and individual personalities. Over the past year I have also been a regular sitter for a Bichon Frise called Woody, which gave me experience caring for a much smaller and more sensitive breed. Looking after dogs with very different temperaments – from confident, energetic larger breeds to smaller dogs who benefit from a calmer and more reassuring approach – has given me a well-rounded understanding of how to adapt my care to suit each dog. Spending time with dogs has always been an important part of my life, and I’m now looking forward to welcoming more dogs into my routine and giving them the same care, attention and companionship that I gave Chapi. ⸻ Experience & Care Through caring for my own dog as well as regularly looking after others, I have experience supporting dogs with different personalities, energy levels and care requirements. Both Chapi and Woody had more complex care needs, including medication, separation anxiety and specific routines, which means I’m comfortable with: • Administering medication when required • Following detailed feeding and care routines • Supporting older dogs or those with health considerations • Providing calm, patient care for dogs who may be nervous or shy I understand that every dog is different, and I always take the time to learn their routine and preferences so they feel comfortable and secure. ⸻ Services I Offer I currently offer: 🐾 Dog Walking 🐾 Doggy Daycare 🐾 Dog Boarding I regularly work from home, which allows me to provide plenty of attention and companionship to dogs in my care during the day. I’m also an active person, so dogs will enjoy regular walks, stimulation and time outdoors. I have my own car, which makes me reliable and flexible, and I’m also available for ad-hoc and weekend care when needed. Home Environment I live in a safe, dog-friendly home with a secure garden, and we are also very close to several lovely parks and walking routes which are perfect for regular walks and exercise. My home is currently undergoing some renovation work, so it’s not the most polished space at the moment, but it is still a calm, safe and comfortable environment for dogs. Dogs who have stayed with me – including my own dog CHAPI and the dogs I regularly care for – have always settled in very happily. What matters most to me is that dogs in my care feel secure, relaxed and well looked after, with plenty of attention, companionship and time outdoors. ⸻ Reliability & Safety Your dog’s wellbeing and safety will always be my top priority. I’m dependable, organised and respectful of both your home and your dog’s established routine. I’m always happy to follow any training guidance or instructions you provide so that your dog’s care remains consistent. ⸻ Meet & Greets I always arrange a meet and greet before accepting any booking. This is really important to me because it allows me to make sure your dog feels comfortable with me, while also giving me the opportunity to fully understand their routine, personality and any specific care requirements. It also gives you the chance to ask questions and feel confident that your dog will be happy and well looked after.

About: I've taken care of cats and dogs of different breeds and other animals since a young age. Neighbours, friends and close family have all asked me to take care of, feed and give attention to their animals to which I performed precisely. I am currently caring for my partner as she is heavily pregnant and am not currently working a 9-5 due to the care that she requires and as the pregnancy has caused a lot of unexpected difficulties it is safer for me to remain closer to home. I house 3 in door cats, their needs and requirements are met on a daily basis, playtime divided evenly between the 3, constant cuddles and comfort from myself and partner, constant litter tray supervision, regular biscuit bowl, water and wet food throughout the day.

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: 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: 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.
