About: I have always been surrounded by pets since childhood. I currently reside in a lovely new build property in Bradford, featuring five bedrooms and a large rear garden located on a quiet cul-de-sac. I've set up a small play area inside our garage specifically for the pets. I have a five-year-old Yorkshire Terrier whom I take for walks twice a day. As I work full-time working from home , Hence I am home with my dog for most of the time. Additionally, I have installed CCTV inside the house to keep a close eye on them. The garden is fenced, providing a secure environment, and my little Yorkie is a delightful companion to keep your pet entertained. I also have plenty of pet-safe toys and treats available for them to enjoy. In my daily routine, pet care is a fundamental aspect that I prioritize. Each day begins with taking my Yorkshire Terrier for a morning walk, which not only provides her with exercise but also helps to set a positive tone for the day. After my walk, I ensure she has her meals and ample playtime, incorporating interactive toys to keep her mentally stimulated. During my work hours, I maintain my dog’s well-being by ensuring she has access to her play area and is monitored through our indoor CCTV system. This allows me to keep a watchful eye on her while I’m busy with work tasks. In the evenings, I dedicate time to another walk, providing her with physical exercise and the opportunity to explore. I also make it a point to engage in playtime and training sessions during the week, reinforcing good behavior and strengthening our bond. On weekends or my days off, I like to enhance our routine with longer outings or trips to pet-friendly parks, which provide additional socialization and adventure. Overall, pet care is seamlessly integrated into my daily and weekly schedule, ensuring a happy and healthy life for my dog while maintaining my responsibilities. When caring for pets in my home or a pet owner's home, I follow a comprehensive approach that prioritizes their health, safety, and well-being. Here are the key aspects of my care routine: 1. **Environment**: I ensure that the living space is safe and secure. This includes pet-proofing areas by removing hazards and ensuring that all spaces are fenced or gated if necessary. I also provide a comfortable sleeping area and ensure that the temperature is suitable for the pets. 2. **Feeding**: I follow the pet owner's feeding plan, adhering to specific dietary needs and schedules. I provide fresh water at all times and ensure that food bowls are clean and easily accessible. 3. **Exercise**: Regular exercise is crucial for pets. I take them for walks, engage in playtime, and provide plenty of opportunities for physical activity. This helps them burn off energy and stay healthy. 4. **Mental Stimulation**: I offer a variety of toys and activities to keep pets mentally engaged. Interactive toys, puzzles, and training sessions are integrated into the daily routine to promote cognitive development. 5. **Health Monitoring**: I observe pets for any signs of illness or discomfort. If any issues arise, I communicate promptly with the pet owner and seek veterinary care if necessary. 6. **Hygiene**: I maintain cleanliness by regularly grooming the pets, bathing them as required, and keeping their living area tidy. This includes cleaning litter boxes for cats or keeping the yard clean for dogs. 7. **Affection and Socialization**: I provide plenty of love and attention, allowing pets to feel secure and happy. This may include cuddling, petting, and ensuring they receive social interaction with other pets or people. By following these practices, I ensure that pets receive compassionate and thorough care, whether in my home or theirs, creating a nurturing and loving environment.

“Megan was amazing with my new puppy during her puppy drop in visits. She sat with her and implemented the same commands that I told her I had been using . She made sure the house was secured upon exiting and my puppy would forward to her coming in. Thanks again Megan”

About: I’ve always had pets growing up and have had experience with all kinds and all sizes! I currently have a black labradoodle and a black cat. 🐕‍🦺🐈‍⬛ I am very passionate about animals and their care, I’ve been taking courses as well as caring for my own, so I can assure you that your pet would be in safe hands! I would treat your pet exactly how I would want mine to be treated. Neighbours and friends often rely on me to day sit or walk their dogs and are always very pleased. I’m available every day, all day! Any work that I do, I do from home so I am home all day every day and have all the time to play with your furry friend. I have a secure fenced garden and a very friendly/playful labradoodle who would keep your pet(s) company! Lots of toys and walks are a must in this house!

About: 🐾 About Me I have lived with dogs my whole life, and caring for them has always been second nature to me. From playful puppies to gentle seniors, I truly love spending time with dogs of all ages and personalities. Your furry family member will always be in safe and loving hands with me. I treat every dog as if they were my own, making sure they feel comfortable, happy, and cared for. I know how important peace of mind is when you’re away, so I’ll keep you updated with plenty of photos and videos — you’ll always know how your pup is doing while in my care. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, or just cuddles on the couch, I’m passionate about making sure your dog feels loved and at home. 🐶💛 Looking after pets is something that naturally blends into my everyday life. I enjoy planning my days around walks, feeding times, and play sessions, so giving animals the care and attention they need never feels like a chore — it’s something I genuinely look forward to. Whether it’s a quick visit during the day or regular walks throughout the week, I make sure each pet has time set aside for them. This way, they always get consistency, comfort, and lots of love while in my care. When I’m caring for pets in their own home, I always follow the owner’s routine closely so your pet feels comfortable and secure in a familiar environment. I make sure they have fresh food and water, regular walks or playtime, and lots of affection. I also keep things tidy and treat your home with the same respect I would my own. If I’m welcoming pets into my home, I create a safe, cozy, and stress-free environment where they feel at ease. I provide plenty of space to relax, toys for play, and make sure they get the exercise and attention they need. In both cases, I stay in touch with owners through regular photo and video updates so you can feel confident knowing your furry family member is happy and well cared for. 🐾

About: Hi my name is Martyna and I live in Greater Manchester, Rochdale. My family has a little teddy bear Pomeranian named Ruby for the last 8 years and I lover her SO much. When I was at University I would make my sister send me pictures and video updates on her. I've always loved animals and enjoy spending time with dogs and cats of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. I understand that leaving your pet with someone else can be stressful, so I do everything I can to make sure both you and your pet to feel comfortable and at ease. I treat every dog in my care as if they were my own and will make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and cuddles throughout their stay. Whether your dog loves being active or prefers a quieter environment, I'm happy to accommodate their needs and routine. I am committed to providing a safe, loving, and comfortable environment where your dog can feel at home while you're away. I will also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is being well looked after. With new clients, I like to arrange a meet and greet before accepting a booking request to make sure everyone is comfortable and it's a good fit. I look forward to meeting you and your furry friend! PROMPT RESPONSES Pet care fits well into my weekly routine as I currently have a flexible schedule. I am due to graduate from university at the end of July and am on a zero-hour contract with a real estate firm, where I am typically booked in on Tuesdays and Thursdays, with additional days depending on workload and auction schedules. Outside of this, I work from home, which gives me a lot of flexibility to provide consistent care, visits, and attention throughout the week. My routine is generally adaptable, so I can plan pet care around existing commitments to ensure I am reliable and punctual. Because of this flexibility, I am able to offer a good level of availability during weekdays and can accommodate regular routines, feeding schedules, and any specific care needs. I prioritise safety, trust, and consistency in both my own home and the owner’s home. I always follow the pet’s usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding, exercise, playtime, and any specific care instructions provided. When caring in a client’s home, I am respectful, tidy, and mindful that I am in their pet’s familiar environment. I make sure all doors, windows, and access points are secure before leaving, and I pay close attention to keeping pets safe and comfortable at all times. I take the time to understand each pet’s personality and needs, whether they are more independent or require extra attention and reassurance. I aim to create a calm and stable environment so they feel relaxed while their owner is away. Above all, I treat every pet as if they were my own and every home with care and respect, ensuring owners can feel confident and at ease throughout the booking.

About: I have had both dogs and cats ever since I was a baby which means I have valuable experience of pet sitting. I have experience with many types of animals and there is no breed I dislike. I work full time currently, however my shifts are different each day so I always either have a full morning or all afternoon free with two full days off. Weekends the latest I finish is 3 so I always have time. I have a fenced garden and cctv. I have two dogs already who are great around other pets and I have a crate should it ever be needed.

About: I have a 10 year old dog, and 10 years of personal experience of loving, caring and treating her as the family member that she is. I am a very active person and know many amazing walks around my area, you can rest assured that your dog will be well exercised and tired out when they return to you( in a good way!). I always remember that while most people see taking their dog out as a chore or something they have to do, that walk is the best part of the day for the dog, the thing they look forward to. For this reason it becomes the best part of my day too, and no walk will be short lived or boring. I also have some experience training dogs and puppies, through training my own. I know how to train basic skills like obedience, sitting, laying down, rolling over, and best of all high fives. I also trained my dog some key walking skills for when we are out, for example walking on a lead, stopping and staying at roads before crossing, fast and slow commands on the lead and returning when off the lead and called. If you have a puppy or dog who needs a little training I am happy to get involved and try and help. I currently work part time in after school clubs, for just a couple of hours a day Monday to Friday. I am out of the house from 2.30 to 4.30pm ish. I have the rest of the day at home so have plenty of time to care for, walk and train your doggies. If your dog is okay with being left alone for 2 hours at the most, I can board any day of the week and anytime. If your dog is not okay with being left alone for this length of time I can board on weekends where I have no work and all my time for your dog :) I have a fenced garden which they can explore, with no worry of them escaping. It is a fairly large garden with a small beck for them to splash in! I will walk them twice a day, or as specified by you, along with my own lovely dog to keep them company. If you provide me with feeding times and any specific details you would like me to follow, so that we can make their experience as homelike and comfortable as possible, that would be great and I will follow exactly.

“Davena is fantastic, she did exactly as we requested and was really considerate with our nervous dog. She played with him as much as she could even though he was in a strange house. Thank you Davena!”

About: Hi! My name is Rose and I have taken care of dogs for many years. I have had two dogs of my own who have both been rescue dogs. Our first dog was a tricky customer! He had complex behaviour needs and lots of health issues which involved him being on medication for the last years of his life. If you have a dog with medical needs I am more than happy to discuss this with you, I know how hard it can be to find care for a pooch who is a little more complicated! We currently have our Beagle Brodie who we rescued at 8 months. He is super friendly and loves to hang out with some doggy friends! I am a school teacher so am at home for the school holidays. I currently offer care at weekends and during school holidays. This means your pup will have someone around all day! I have a secure backyard, some of which is walled and some fenced. It is 6ft at the shortest point so should be high enough to contain determined escape artists! These have been throughly tested by our own escape artist, Brodie the beagle! We have one dog Brodie, who loves to keep his doggy friends company! That being said, we do have enough rooms to separate the dogs if everyone needs a time out! There is a brilliant vet at the end of our street if emergencies happen.

About: I have been surrounded by every kind of dog since a very young age. I have taken care of numerous family, neighbours and friends dogs which include plenty of walks, playtime and feeding. My family has rescued our current dog who was unfortunately abused and bred to fight, luckily we got a hold of her before anything untoward happened. This taught me to be incredibly patient and kind working with her to gain her trust and now she’s the most loving and caring dog you’d ever meet. This has made me incredibly aware that unfortunately not every dog is blessed with a great start in life and I can understand why some dogs may be more timid or anxious than others, which is why I’d love a little chat beforehand to get to know more about your dog so I can really try cater to them and provide a calm and reassuring presence for them! I currently work part-time, but my hours are super flexible so I am confident we would be able to come up with a suitable time/ day that accommodates everyone. At the back of the house is a medium sized garden that is fenced off, allowing for a safe and playful environment for your dog !

About: I've been an animal lover my whole life, as I grew up with several different kinds of pets, from cats and dogs to hamsters and a frog, and I've loved them all! So I know what is required to properly care for a pet. I have also taken care of the pets of family friends, such as dogwalking, dogsitting and catsitting. Right now my family has two cats and two dogs (golden retreivers), who we have had since they were just little kittens and puppies! The kittens were mainly my responsibility as kittens because when we brought them home from the rescue they were too young to roam around the house and to be introduced to my dogs, so they stayed in my room and I cared for them for about a week. With my dogs, I attended puppy training class with them and some family members. I'm a student at University right now studying chemistry, hoping to work my way towards a vet! I'm currently a full-time University student with a flexible schedule. Saturdays, Sundays and Mondays are days where I am available at any time. Tuesdays I am free any time before 4pm, Thursdays I am available any time after 2pm. One of the most important things is following the instructions of the pet's owner, as they know their pet the best. This way I can take care of the pet in the best way possible. Knowing the pets daily routine and personality is key to making sure the pet is as comfortable and as happy as possible!
