Pet Sitting Cressington

About: Me and my family have had dogs all my life, as well as other pets. I love dogs, and I'd like to think they naturally gravitate to me too. I work from home, but can spare time during certain weekdays to help get some pooches some fresh air! I work from home at least 3 times a week with flexible hours. Let me know when your dog needs walking and I should be able to fit it into my schedule as long as it's before 4pm Not applicable as I am offering dog walking service only. May be available to care for pets at my home some time in the future.

About: Hi! I’m a caring, reliable animal lover with plenty of hands-on experience looking after pets. I have a playful Doberman called Bruno who loves making new friends, so I’m very comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes as well as cats. I’ve regularly looked after pets for friends and family, and I always treat them like my own. I also have experience administering oral medication when needed. As an active person, I enjoy long walks and regular trips to the beach, so your dog will get lots of exercise, attention, enrichment, and affection while in my care. Pet sitting fits naturally into my daily routine, allowing me to provide flexible, reliable care for your pets. As an active dog owner, I have plenty of time for walks, playtime, cuddles, and making sure every pet feels happy, safe, and well looked after. Your pet’s safety, happiness, and wellbeing will always be my top priority. I treat every pet as if they were my own, providing plenty of love, patience, and individual attention. I’ll follow your pet’s routine closely, keep you updated with regular photos and messages, and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for throughout their stay.

About: My partner Bee and I have been looking after dogs for years now. We grew up with dogs and cats of many different breeds, and love all things animals. We regularly look after our friends’ dogs, rabbits, guinea pigs and even owl, so we’ve seen it all and enjoyed every second! Bee and I both work full-time, but almost entirely remote and there is always at least one of us in the house. When pet sitting, we take regular breaks to ensure the animals are fed, watered, walked and toileted as needed, and allow them to roam around the house, garden and office throughout the day. We have a fenced back garden ideal for toilet breaks, stretching legs and playing fetch. There’s also a large tiled kitchen, ideal for cleaning and drying damp pets.

“Alex has supported us with frequent dog visits to our 4-month old husky puppy whilst we are at work. Alex has always been very professional whilst showing Alfred the love and care a growing pup needs. Alex sends frequent pictures and updates of his time with Alfred and we can tell that Alfred absolutely loves Alex! Thanks so much Alex- we are very lucky to have you.”

About: I have grown up with own dogs but sadly my two pups (Mutley and Meg) are no longer with us, so I would like to help others with their pet needs! I also work at Puppy Yoga UK, caring for puppies of all breeds. - Dog first aid trained (valid until 2028.) - Experience with most breeds, small and large. - Confident in administering insulin or other medicines. - Extensive experience in puppy care. - Comfortable with dogs dealing with anxiety separation or behavioural needs. I’m currently looking for work opportunities so I have lots of flexibility. If trusted with your pet, I will ensure that my schedule fits your needs completely beforehand. As I currently live at my family home, I am only able to offer house sitting and not home boarding. I am a clean freak, respectful to neighbours and would have an in depth conversation about your expectations, whether this included plant care etc.

“Emily was again great, tool good care of our cat Wanda and had very good communication keeping us updated every day. Would definitely recommend and book again with her!”

About: Growing up as a family of 9 (5 humans, 4 dogs) my daily routine has always revolved around walks, puppy pampering and endless cuddles! Unfortunately I don’t have a dog of my own at the moment and I can definitely feel the gap in my life where they would usually be. Therefore, I love caring for other peoples four legged family members and giving them the love and attention that I would give to my own! I provide a cosy loving home for weekend boarding, morning and evening walks. I will happily care for dogs of any age - from playful puppies to seniors who prefer a calmer slower pace and anything in between! Previously, I have raised and cared for a litter of puppies as well as caring for senior dogs with dementia. Therefore I understand the unique needs and routines each dog will have. I have experience looking after various different dog breeds, specifically springer spaniels, jack Russell terriers and miniature dachshunds. I’m very familiar with how their unique personalities require a different approach, from my clingy and energetic spaniel who loves a long walk and hates being left alone, to my sassy and stubborn sausage who wants to do everything on her own terms. I’m happy to adapt to whatever it is that they need! I currently work as a physio in the NHS and while I love caring for humans in my day job, I love to spend my weekends and evenings caring for furry friends instead! I love walking and getting my steps in (rain or shine) and there’s no better way to do that than with a dog! I’m available for weekend boarding so both you and your pups can enjoy a weekend getaway! A typical weekend for me usually involves several longer walks, trips to lark lane and cosy evenings watching TV. I usually work 8.30-4.30 during the week however at times my schedule can be flexible. I’m an early riser and love a walk before or after work - or both! I have a secure fenced back garden with a small patch of grass where your dog can happily play. In my home dogs are welcome wherever they are happiest whether that is in their own crate or bed or on the sofa with me. There are no children or other pets in the house so they will have all the attention to themselves!

“Cat looked after Smudge and contacted us every day to let us know how he was. Due to the hot weather, Cat also offered to water the garden for us which was very much appreciated.”

“Caroline was just brilliant at looking after Meg, our little foster kitty, who can be shy around strangers. Meg really took to Caroline and enjoyed plenty of cuddles and playtime during the visits. Caroline was very conscientious and followed the guidance we gave. Throughly recommend Caroline as a 5 star cat sitter 😻”

“Katie looked after my cat Zaz, while I was away over the weekend. She organised a meet and greet prior and communicated well throughout. Her updates made me feel at ease knowing Zaz was well cared for.”

Lily F.

“Fantastic as always, our cat loves Emily! Emily takes time to stay and give her company for a while, not just pop in and feed, and she send us photos and videos. She also cleaned up after our cat made a mess and was lovely about it, very much appreciated indeed.”

About: My partner and I have both grown up surrounded by animals — from dogs and cats to rabbits and even horses. Having pets has always been a big part of our lives and our homes never felt complete without them. We’ve recently bought our first home in Mossley Hill, and although our current schedules don’t allow us to have pets of our own, we really miss that familiar comfort animals bring. By looking after your pet while you’re away, we hope to give you peace of mind while also getting the joy of having a furry friend back in our home. Trust me— you’ll be going us a favour. I’ve never known a life without animals — pets have been a constant source of joy, responsibility, and companionship for as long as I can remember. I grew up surrounded by rescue dogs at my gran’s, each with their own story and quirks, which taught me patience and empathy from an early age. At my mum’s house, I’m greeted by two beautiful Staffies who think they’re tiny lapdogs, and at my dad’s, I have two wonderfully chaotic springer spaniels who never run out of energy, I mean NEVER. Because of this, I’m completely at home with both ends of the canine spectrum — from calm cuddle sessions on the sofa to 5-mile muddy treks through the woods. Whether it’s lounging or adventuring, I’m always ready… wellies included. Currently my partner and I are in full time work as he is working towards his Chartership as a Building Surveyor and I’ve just passed the Bar. We are free most weekends Friday-Sunday and bank holidays so if you and your family fancy some time away we’ve got you covered. We have a fenced garden with patio and plenty of grass to run around in. We are short walks away from Calderstones Park, Sefton Park and Greenbank Park. Me and my partner love a long walk and picking up a warm coffee and a sweet treat so your dogs steps are guarenteed. We have an open plan kitchen/dining/living room and also an additional living room. We have no other pets so anxious/ nervous dogs or pet owners don’t need to worry about introducing other animals.

“I'd recommend Phillipa to any cat owner. Communication was fantastic both pre and during booking, and she was completely reliable. She took amazing care of my very shy cat- sitting in the garden with her to make sure she had outside time, and being really gentle with her. I was amazed how she got our cat to trust her.”

“Dilki & Chamy were amazing! We went to the races for the day so just needed somebody to pop in to see to our 2 cocker spaniels. We received many videos and pictures and were reassured that both dogs were doing well and were cared for. I highly recommend their services to others as they put us at ease for the rest of the day and have a clear passion for animals”

About: Nico (🌈He passed away on 18/3/24🌈)and I love dogs, we both spend a lot of time visiting all the parks that we have around and never is enough. As I work from home (only 3 days per week) we have a routine of 40 min of walk in the morning , 30 min in the midday and other 30 -45 min in the evening. With little break every 2 hours in the terrace I live in a terrace house , Nico likes to spend time in the terracewhen it's sunny so I can leave the door open and he goes and come as he wants. He also likes to have a nap on the sofa where your dog can join us.

“Absolutely amazing Tianya is looking after Cairo and she’s doing an absolute amazing job with him! He’s always well fed, played with and given the best treatment. I’ve always been sceptical of leaving my boy with anyone but for the first time I’ve used this app/someone and Tianya is simply amazing. Words don’t do enough justice as to how amazing she truly is🥰👏🏽”

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life, growing up with Jack Russells from a young age, so caring for dogs has always been a natural part of my life. I now have my own Jack Russell, Taco, and understand how important routine, patience, trust and reassurance are when looking after someone’s dog. I also have experience caring for different breeds, including Border Terriers, French Bulldogs and Golden Retrievers. I’m confident with feeding, walking, playtime, enrichment, toilet routines and giving regular updates so owners feel reassured while they’re away. I’m active, reliable and used to long daily walks, including park walks, beach walks and safe outdoor adventures. I’m especially comfortable with small to medium dogs, energetic dogs, young dogs and dogs who need plenty of attention and stimulation. Your dog would be cared for like part of the family. I work for myself, which means I have plenty of flexibility and can work around your dog’s normal routine. I understand how important consistency is for dogs, especially when their owner is away, so I’m happy to fit my work around their usual feeding times, walks, toilet breaks, playtime and rest. Each dog is different, so I’ll always follow your instructions closely to help them feel settled and secure. I’ll be caring for your dog in their own home, where they already feel safe and comfortable. I know every dog has different needs, so each booking will be completely bespoke to suit your dog’s personality, routine and preferences. Whether they need lots of cuddles, long walks, playtime, company, reassurance or quiet time, I’ll work with you to make sure they’re cared for in the way that suits them best. I’ll also provide regular updates so you feel reassured while you’re away.

“I can't recommend Jess enough especially if your dog is reactive or anxious. Jess has a lot of empathy and very good understanding of dogs behaviour. She was really patient with my rescue dog and provided regular updates after each visit.”

About: •I Have had a retired racing greyhound for 6 years- so understand dogs with high prey drive •I volunteer at a greyhound rescue centre- so have experienced a range of different temperaments •I study Zoology at University I enjoy cooking, getting outside and going to the gym as well as the occasional pub trip with friends. I’m not currently employed so looking after your pet won’t be a problem at all. I use a crate for my own dog at night in our household but understand not all people do the same so can easily adapt to what your “rules” are. I believe in positive reinforcement to encourage desired behaviours and think punishment is not something to be justified in any circumstance. I have a fenced garden and know the importance of checking for closed gates as I personally don’t fancy chasing after the second fastest land mammal 🤣!

“George has always been fantastic and super dependable. Great with Reggie (lab puppy) who adores him. Sends great pics throughout his visit and couldn’t be happier with George. Very understanding and flexible, even biked round to help my sister in law out when she forgot her key! Great guy”
