“We have been using Janet 2-4 times per week to do an hour drop in session with our puppy for over a month now. We get feedback throughout and following the sessions and he seems comfortable with her on all the photos. We will be continuing to use her to come and visit him so he’s not on his own all day while we’re at work.”


“Alice was brilliant with our Beabee. They got on straight away. Alice was super helpful at short notice, still managed to squeeze a meet and greet in which was fab. She walked Beabee and played till she was tired out. We had a lovely evening and relaxed knowing our pup was in good hands. Will definitely be booking Alice again 😊”


About: Hi, I'm Holly, i’ve been caring for dogs for over 5 years and absolutely love spending time with pups of all kinds. I have a 4-year-old dog of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family member. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just some extra love while you're away, I’ll make sure your dog feels happy, safe, and right at home. My partner Sam and I are passionate dog lovers, and we’ll treat your pup just like a member of our own family. Sam works from home, so your dog will always have company, attention, and someone to play with throughout the day. Whether it's cuddles on the couch, walks in the park, or playtime in the yard, we make sure every dog in our care feels loved, safe, and at home. We’re happy to follow your dog’s usual routine and cater to their specific needs to make sure they feel comfortable and right at home. Whether it’s playtime, cuddles, or quiet time, we’re here to make your pup’s stay stress-free and fun! We will stick to their usual routine at much as possible. I am happy to keep you updated with photos and keep in touch whilst you’re away for as much as you would like.

About: I've had the joy of raising and training my own dog from puppyhood, which has given me hands-on experience with everything from basic obedience to understanding different dog personalities. I truly love all kinds of dogs—big, small, shy, or energetic—and I treat every pup in my care like one of my own. Whether it's playtime, walks, or just some cuddle time, I make sure each dog feels safe, happy, and loved. I work part-time as a swim teacher for children, which gives me a flexible schedule to provide reliable and loving care for your dog. Whether you need daytime walks, drop-ins, or overnight stays, I’m happy to work around your pup’s routine. When caring for dogs in their own home, I always make sure to follow their usual routine to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I respect your space, keep things tidy, and give your pup plenty of love and attention—just like you would. On walks, I make sure they get the right mix of exercise and fun, staying alert to their safety and pace. Whether it’s playtime, snuggles, or sticking to special instructions, your dog’s well-being is always my top priority.

“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.”

About: Hello! I have a huge heart for dogs and I couldn’t imagine my life without my own Cooper who is my best friend. I have always had dogs in my home and I have looked after relatives / friends dogs over the past 10 years. I will ensure your dog is looked after just as I would my own, with plenty of play time and cuddles. I will fulfil your requests about your pets routine and make sure they have a great time with me! I am fully flexible and therefore I am offering my time for sitting / walking your pets as this is a way I would love to fill my days! I am fully flexible and have no work commitments therefore I can fit your dogs schedule into my day to suit them best. I often go on a long walk each day and would love your dog to join me! I have a large car with a crate in the boot so I am happy to drive your dog to nice locations for long walks if this is something you are happy with.

“Louise is great! I’ve had my dog, Lola, since she was a puppy and she’s now 9 years old. She’s never had a sitter before and I had no idea how it all worked but Louise was great at explaining what’s involved and provided lots of reassurance. She came to see Lola twice and took her on some lovely walks, fed her and played with her and provided some great quality photos and videos. Lola had a great time with Louise and I’ll definitely be using Louise again! ☺️”


About: I’ve had hands-on experience with dogs that have very different needs — from a large, high-energy Goldendoodle who needed constant engagement, attention, and exercise, to a calm but anxious Staffordshire Bull Terrier who thrived in a quiet, patient environment. This range has taught me how to adapt my care style to suit each dog’s personality and emotional needs. I provide a safe, peaceful home with no other pets, which is ideal for dogs who need one-on-one attention or do best in a calm environment. I’m available on weekends and evenings, and I’m committed to making sure each dog feels comfortable, loved, and cared for like they’re my own. Whether your dog needs high-energy play or a calm, reassuring presence, I’ll meet them where they are. Please provide their usual food where possible to keep their tummies happy. I will adhere to all of your usual rules for your pet, they can go on furniture and my bed but if you like to keep them off that then that's no problem. Available a lot of weekends as I'm very much a home bird. Available evenings and overnight, can work from home when given enough notice to do day care too. I have a fenced in garden with astroturf grass for them to feel comfortable, they can stay downstairs or upstairs depending on what they're used to. Space for a crate if needed. I have my own extra large dog bed and water and food bowls if needed too.

About: All dogs will be given plenty of exercise throughout the day as I love my walks and outside too! All day of fun and playing! Monday - Friday I can walk dogs from 6:30pm-8pm. Weekends I can pet sit from Friday at 6pm- Sunday 9pm. Weekends are more flexible from am-pm. I will offer them water and treats. Pet food will need to be supplied by the owner and familiar toys. I am happy for pets to sit on my couch/bed and share my home.

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.

“Patricia did an excellent job looking after my cats and on fairly short notice too! I received text messages after each visit giving me an update on how things were going which was really reassuring. I would definitely recommend and would not hesitate to ask Patricia to assist again in the future. Thanks Patricia 👍🏼”


“So grateful for Victoria looking after Nero last minute. She was quick to respond, and even in very wet weather took Nero for a walk to calm him down whilst I was in an appointment. Highly recommend this sitter!”

About: Hi, my name is Daniel, I’m 27 years old and I live in a warm, family friendly environment that’s perfect for looking after pets as if they were part of the family. I’ve always had a deep passion for animals, especially large dogs. I’ve had two big furry companions who I dedicated lots of time, care and love to. Through them, I learned how important it is to understand their needs, give them regular exercise, affection and a routine that helps them feel safe and happy. Together with my girlfriend, who also loves animals, we’ve looked after several dogs, which has given me experience with all kinds of personalities. I’m a very caring, responsible and detail oriented person. I always make sure each dog feels comfortable, supported and truly at home. I really enjoy spending time outdoors with them, going on walks, playing, and building a genuine bond. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy to care for your furry friend with love, respect and commitment, I’d be delighted to help. While you're away, they'll have a second family here. I spend most of my time at home, which means I can give my full attention and care to the dogs I look after. Pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine, as I truly enjoy being with them—whether it’s going for walks, playing, or simply keeping them company throughout the day. My schedule is very flexible, allowing me to adapt to each dog’s needs and to their owners' preferences. Whether it’s a one-off walk, regular visits, or longer stays, I’m always available to provide a safe, calm, and attentive environment. I live in a reasonably sized, comfortable and safe home where dogs can move around freely and feel completely at ease. There’s also a small fenced patio, perfect for getting some fresh air, playing, or simply relaxing in a secure outdoor space. I always make sure each pet feels at home, whether I’m caring for them here or in their own space. I maintain a calm and structured routine, with close supervision, lots of affection, and attention to every detail so they feel safe, relaxed and well cared for at all times.

About: English version Hello, my name is Tatiana, and I am 24 years old. I am a passionate animal lover, especially when it comes to dogs and cats. I have several years of experience caring for pets, having looked after dogs for family members, friends, and acquaintances on many occasions. I currently live in Bolton, but I previously lived in Barcelona, where I gained most of my experience in pet care. I adapt to the needs of each pet, always following the owners’ instructions to ensure their well-being. At home, I have a dog and a 1-year-old daughter, so any pets I look after will be in a family-friendly environment with plenty of love and attention. I also commit to sending regular photos and videos so owners can see how their furry friends are doing during their stay. Spanish version Hola, mi nombre es Tatiana y tengo 24 años. Soy una gran amante de los animales, especialmente de perros y gatos. Tengo varios años de experiencia en el cuidado de mascotas, ya que he cuidado perros de familiares, amigos y conocidos en muchas ocasiones. Actualmente vivo en Bolton, pero antes residía en Barcelona, donde adquirí la mayor parte de mi experiencia en el cuidado de perros. Me adapto a las necesidades de cada mascota, siguiendo siempre las indicaciones de sus dueños para garantizar su bienestar. En mi hogar actualmente tengo un perro y una niña de 1 año, por lo que las mascotas que cuide estarán en un ambiente familiar, con mucho cariño y atención. También me comprometo a enviar fotos y videos con frecuencia para que los dueños puedan ver cómo están sus peludos durante su estancia. As I am currently at home taking care of my baby, I have a very flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate time and attention to the pets I look after. I can easily adapt to their routines, ensuring they receive regular walks, playtime, and proper care throughout the day. I care for pets as if they were my own, treating them with the same love, attention, and dedication that I would want for my own dog. I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well-cared for at all times. I always keep a close eye on them, ensuring they receive the best possible care, including proper feeding, playtime, and affection. My goal is to create a loving and secure environment where pets feel at home.


About: The most important thing i believe when providing care to any animal is that you feel confident leaving your pet with me, as I know a dog is like a baby so i want to ensure you i have grown up with a dog since I was a baby and he was my best friend. I am trustworthy as I had previous experience of caring for him alone and I will care for your dog like it’s my own and if you have any special requests I will be happy to do my very best to fulfill them. I am not currently working so am basically available 24/7, completely flexible to your and your dogs needs. I look forward to hearing from you and meeting both you and your doggy.
