“I highly recommend Remi! She was really good with Archie and kept me updated every now and then which helped put my mind at ease. I definitely will be booking with Remi again!”

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.

“Thank you Karen for taking care of Molly, I really appreciate your time in getting to know Molly beforehand so she would be settled when I left.”

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!

“Our puppy had a great day with Vikki and her dog Lacey. He enjoyed playing in her large, secure garden and Vikki also fed him and took him for a walk. We will definitely be booking with her again ?”

“Rolo had such a lovely stay, Pat was so welcoming to us and Rolo, she took Rolo for a nice walk and she was sleeping contentedly when we picked her up. Right from the outset has been so communicative and helpful. Can’t speak highly enough and hope Rolo will be back again soon!”

About: I have experience caring for pets of all ages, ensuring they are fed, exercised, and given plenty of attention. I can follow specific care instructions, provide basic grooming, and monitor for any health concerns. I prioritize creating a safe, loving environment so pets feel comfortable while their owners are away. I’ll have plenty of time to care for your pets, ensuring they get attention, exercise, and companionship. I’m available for boarding on weekends and can accommodate regular visits during the week. Whether it’s feeding, playtime, or just keeping them company, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable and loved while you’re away I prioritize safety, trust, and a comfortable environment for pets in both my home and the owner's home. I follow all care instructions, provide a secure space, and ensure pets feel relaxed and loved. Whether through supervised play, routine feeding, or maintaining a clean environment, I create a stress-free experience. I also respect the owner's home, keeping it tidy and ensuring pets are safe at all times.

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.

“Sophie has now looked at Maggie a couple of times. She went out of her way to come and meet Mags as it was too hot to take her out and I get regular updates through the day. She seems settled very quickly and cloud is a lovely dog as a companion.”

“Lovely people, lovely environment. So friendly from first contact and so welcoming the moment the front door opened. Rolo clearly felt very at ease and ‘at home’ and enjoyed the drive out and walk. Very kind and caring.”

“Diego had a really great day at doggy day care with Lukasz & Paula. He went on multiple walks, had all the cuddles and is very tired out now! ☺️ Lukasz & Paula always kept us updated with lots of photos and messages to calm our nerves with it being Diego’s first day care. They were very accommodating, friendly and kind and ensured Diego was very well looked after. I would highly recommended them both if you’re looking for someone to take care of your pet.”

About: I've had dogs my whole life big and small and have always walked and trained them. I do brain stimulating activitys like find the treat or puzzle feeders like kongs and lickmats. I live near a big park that I like to walk down and feed the ducks so depending on the dog going on walks is easily done. I have dog sat and looked after family and friends dogs since I was 14 ,some with medical problems that need daily treatment like tablets and skin cream. I have looked after a range of dogs from less active dogs and ones that need a good long walk. I would love to look after you fur baby's whether it's for an hour or a week🙂 I am currently not working so have all the time to spend with your dogs. I go on walks to get out and enjoy nature quite often. I like to go visit family aswell who only live a 20 minute walk down the road. I live in a flat so due to that I would only be able to sit 2 dogs at a time. But I have a bit of grass out the back and I also love right next to a massive country park. There are other dogs in the block but they are all friendly.

“Rupert had a great time and was well looked after. He had his walks, ate his meals and had plenty of play time. I was updated throughout the day with photos and videos. Rupert will definitely be coming back to stay. Thank you!☺️”

About: I adopted my first dog at 14. He's now living the life with my mom abroad, but caring for him for so many years gave me invaluable experience and a deep connection with animals. I've also had the joy of dog sitting for friends and family, always ensuring their pets felt loved, safe, and happy. While I can’t have a pet in my current living space, being a pet sitter allows me to share my love for animals by providing top-quality care for your furry family members. I work full time as a people and wellbeing advisor so I am mainly available in the mornings or afternoons. I am always free on weekends. I work from home 4 days a week so I would be free for check in visits during the day. I am currently unable to dog sit at home due to request from my landlord. Hoping I can relocate soon so that I can look after pets at home too

About: About 20 years ago, our family got two miniature Schnauzers and I've been a dog lover ever since! Now that I've moved out and now live with my fiancee (Raissa, pictured) we miss having the company of dogs and before we get one of our own would like to trial having them in our lives on a more short term basis. We both work from home, so can have someone at home at all hours of the day. We have no children in the house and a secure garden. We have recent experience of looking after dogs for weeks at a time and know lots of good walks near our home too! Ideally looking for smaller hypoallergenic dogs, but would be open to other breeds. We both work full time for the same company with one office day required per week which we do on Weds and Thursday - so someone is always at home every week day. Generally we'd be able to take the dog out in the morning before work, at lunch, after work and evening if required. We have a back garden which is fenced and leads onto a quiet avenue. Generally keep dogs on lead until I can build up trust that it will come back on command. Will be cautious around other dogs without avoiding them and allowing social time when we've built up confidence. Love cuddles and playing in the house but won't allow dogs on the bed or the sofa without covers.

“Nicola took such great care of our cockapoo. Nicola provided us with updates and photos and we have never seen our dog so comfortable away from home, we think she really enjoyed herself! Communication with Nicola was great and she and Rebecca gave us lots of confidence that our dog would be lovingly cared for. I would definitely recommend Nicola and we will 100% be booking again. Thank you so much Nicola, Rebecca and Teddy!”
