Very happy I’ve found her and Jennie is already booked in for our next trip away”

About: What sets me apart is the genuine care and familiarity I have with dogs in a home environment. I’ve regularly looked after my neighbour’s dog when she was away, taking them out for walks and welcoming them into our garden so they felt safe, relaxed, and cared for. I’m calm, patient, and attentive, making sure each dog feels comfortable and well looked after. I also believe in positive, gentle interactions and have experience safely introducing dogs to family life, always under close supervision I’m a freelancer and work from home, which means pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I have flexible hours and can adapt my schedule around each dog’s needs. I’m often out walking around Tatton Park, so I’m happy to offer both long, energetic walks or shorter, relaxed strolls depending on what suits your dog best. Being home most of the day also means dogs get plenty of attention, supervision, and companionship. I have a wooden-floored home with a secure garden, giving dogs a comfortable, safe space to relax and explore. Dogs are free to roam and settle wherever they feel most comfortable downstairs, whether that’s stretching out after a walk or enjoying some fresh air in the garden.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my lifelong experience caring for dogs. Since I was young, I’ve been looking after dogs for neighbors and family members, so I’ve developed a natural ability to bond with them quickly. I can easily earn their trust and engage them in playful activities, making them feel comfortable and happy while in my care. I work part-time, only three days a week, which gives me a very flexible schedule for pet care. This allows me to dedicate plenty of time to walking, playing, feeding, and giving pets the attention they need. Whether it’s daily check-ins, extended stays, or last-minute requests, I can easily adjust my routine to accommodate the needs of both pets and their owners. I only offer pet sitting in my home, as I prioritize my personal safety and feel more comfortable caring for pets in a familiar environment. My home provides a spacious and secure area where pets can move around freely, play, and feel at ease. I ensure a clean, comfortable, and pet-friendly space, giving them plenty of attention, exercise, and affection while their owners are away.

“Jess was excellent with our Staffy, Star! They quickly formed a bond, Star adores her. Jess is professional and just a nice person. We felt comfortable leaving her with our dog and in our home. Star can’t wait for her next stay.”

About: I’ve grown up with both cats and dogs, so i’m comfortable caring for pets with different personalities and needs. I also regularly help family by looking after their dogs, including walking, feeding, and playing with them. I enjoy spending time with pets and getting to know them!! I am a student who loves football and family! This means I plan my time carefully and only accept bookings I can fully commit to. I’m currently on summer break, so I have more time to look after and get to know more pets!! When caring for a pet in their owner’s home or while on a walk, it is important to follow their routine and owner’s instructions to help their pet feel comfortable and safe, as I know each pet is different and requires specific attention. I am happy to provide updates and photos so owners can feel confident that their pet is in good hands. Lastly, I will make sure they get lots of attention and playing time!!

About: I’m animal-obsessed with plenty of experience caring for dogs and cats, including two years working hands-on in a kennel environment. I’m friendly, patient and attentive, and I really enjoy getting to know each pet’s personality. Every dog and cat is different, so I’m happy to work around their usual routine and whatever makes them feel comfortable, whether they’re full of energy, a little nervous, independent or just looking for someone to give them plenty of fuss! I offer dog walking, pet visits and house sitting, and I’ll always keep you updated while you’re away so you know how your pet is getting on. I’m also more than happy to look after older pets or those who need a bit of extra patience and attention. Most importantly, I want you to feel completely comfortable leaving your pet in my care and know they’re in safe, caring hands. I have plenty of flexibility in my schedule, so I can spend lots of time caring for pets throughout the week. I’m available for walks, home visits and house sitting, and I’m happy to work around your pet’s usual routine wherever I can. I can also offer some weekend and last-minute care depending on availability. Your pet’s safety and wellbeing always come first! I’ll take the time to get to know them, understand their usual routine and make sure I’m aware of anything they need or anything you’d like me to know. I’m calm, patient and attentive, and I’m happy to take things at their pace, whether they’re confident and energetic, a little nervous, older or just need some extra fuss and reassurance. When caring for pets in their own home, I’ll treat their space with the same care and respect I would my own, while keeping you updated so you know how they’re getting on.

About: As a passionate dog lover, I love caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes and personalities, and to make every dog in my care feel happy, comfortable, safe and loved, just like they would at home. I have experience caring for puppies, adult dogs and senior dogs, and understand that every dog has their own individual needs, routine and personality. I have a Level 3 Diploma in Animal Care and have experience working in dog kennels and a dog sanctuary in Turkey with over 400 dogs. This has given me valuable experience caring for dogs with different temperaments, ages and needs, and has helped me develop the knowledge and confidence to provide the best care I can. Dog’s happiness and wellbeing are always my priority, and I’ll treat them with the same care and love as they were my own. ❤️ I have plenty of flexibility in my routine to give your pets the time, attention and care they need. I’m also dog walking daily, so caring for animals is already a regular and enjoyable part of my day. 🐾 I live in a house with a secure, fenced-off garden which includes a garden room, with a pull-out bed, when looking after dogs I tend to sleep in the garden room with them at night, to make sure they are comfortable in their new environment. For crate-trained dogs, I can easily crate them and stick with their routine. no dogs will be left alone and will enjoy multiple daily walks, plenty of playtime, and endless love and cuddles to help them feel right at home!

About: I have qualifications in animal handling and animal studies. And I have a dog and cat of my own as well. My love for animals are unconditional. I can fit taking care of your pets around a full-time schedule by offering services during evenings, weekends and days off, mornings and lunchtime, such as dog walking, feeding visits, pet sitting and overnight stays. I would focus on bookings that work. I provide a caring, safe and comfortable environment for pets, whether caring for them in my own home or at their owner’s home. I follow each pet’s individual routine, including feeding, exercise, medication where appropriate, grooming and playtime. I make sure pets receive plenty of attention and companionship while also respecting their space and usual habits. When caring for pets in their owner’s home, I also ensure their environment is kept clean, secure and familiar throughout their stay.

About: Peover Paws – Professional Dog Walking with Care at Its Core At Peover Paws, we believe dogs aren’t just pets — they’re family. That belief shapes everything we do, from how we match dogs for walks to how we communicate with owners. We are a family-run dog walking team offering calm, reliable, and personalised care. Our focus is on small, carefully matched social walks, ensuring dogs are walked with companions that suit their size, temperament, and energy level. This creates a relaxed, enriching experience where dogs feel safe, confident, and happy. A Thoughtful, Safe Approach Every dog is properly onboarded with a meet & greet so we can understand their needs and ensure they’re a good fit for our walks. We take a considered approach to group sizes and routines, allowing us to maintain consistency and high standards of care. We also have access to a private, secure field, giving us the flexibility to offer safe off-lead exercise in a controlled environment when appropriate. This is ideal for confidence-building, recall practice, and giving dogs the freedom to run and play without the risks of busy public spaces. Meet the Team Heather, founder of Peover Paws, brings experience, structure, and genuine care to every walk. Safety, consistency, and a calm approach are central to how she works. Doreen is a core member of the team with over ten years’ experience working with dogs. Known for her steady, caring nature, she builds strong, trusting relationships with both dogs and their owners. Both Heather and Doreen are DBS checked, fully insured, and trained in canine first aid, giving owners complete peace of mind that their dogs are in safe, capable hands. Our Values Everything we do is guided by five core values: Caring – every dog treated as an individual Dependability – reliable, organised, and consistent service Socialisation – positive, well-matched interactions Community – building long-term relationships with owners Safety – always prioritised, never compromised If you’re looking for a dog walking service that is professional, warm, and genuinely invested in your dog’s wellbeing, Peover Paws would love to welcome you and your dog. Pet care is central to my daily and weekly routine. Peover Paws operates on a structured schedule built specifically around dog walking and care, with dedicated time for walks, travel, safe group management, updates to owners, and ongoing monitoring of each dog’s wellbeing. Each day is carefully planned to allow for consistent routines, appropriate group sizes, and unhurried walks, ensuring dogs receive focused attention rather than being rushed between commitments. Time is also built in for communication with owners and for maintaining high standards of care behind the scenes. Because pet care is my primary professional focus, dogs in my care benefit from consistency, reliability, and a calm, well-organised approach every single week. Peover Paws specialises in professional dog walking and outdoor exercise, rather than in-home pet care. We focus on structured, safe, and enriching walks, with dogs collected from and returned to their owner’s home as part of our service. All dogs are handled calmly and securely, with careful attention paid to safety, routines, and individual needs. Walks are planned in advance, dogs are thoughtfully grouped, and owners are kept informed throughout. By concentrating on what we do best — high-quality dog walking — we’re able to maintain consistently high standards of care and ensure every dog receives the attention and supervision they deserve.

About: What sets me apart is the depth of real, lived experience I bring to every booking. I'm not just a dog walker, I'm someone who has loved, raised and cared for dogs through every stage of life, including the most challenging ones. 🐾 I raised my Beagle, Dexter, from a puppy and cared for him through epilepsy in his later years, managing medication schedules, monitoring seizures and making difficult decisions about his welfare with love and dedication. This experience gave me a deep understanding of senior dog care, medical needs and the importance of routine and security. 🐾 I have also completed house sits caring for dogs full time, and I'm experienced in countryside walks, woodland hikes and adventurous days out, so whether your dog needs gentle companionship or an action packed adventure, I can provide both. 🐾 Animals have always responded well to me. I'm calm, patient and intuitive with dogs of all breeds, ages and temperaments. Your dog won't just be looked after, they'll be genuinely loved. 💛 I have a fluid and flexible lifestyle which means I can give dogs the time and attention they truly deserve. I work remotely and I'm able to manage my own schedule around pet care so your dog is never left alone for long and always has someone there for them. I'm available for extended house sits including weekends, and I'm comfortable staying at your home for longer periods. I do work from my laptop so will need access to WiFi during house sits, but for walks and drop in visits I work from my phone which works perfectly. I like to keep weekends free where possible for socialising, and of course I will have holidays booked, but I'm very open to flexibility and love to discuss what works best for you and your dog! 💛🐾 As I offer dog walking and house sitting services, I care for pets in their own home environment rather than my own. I believe this is the best approach. Dogs are happiest and most settled in familiar surroundings, and I'm fully committed to maintaining their routine, comfort and security while their owners are away. My experience with dogs goes far beyond just walks and cuddles. I previously cared for my beloved Beagle, Dexter, from puppyhood through to the age of nine. In his later years Dexter developed epilepsy, which meant I became experienced in managing complex care needs including strict medication schedules, monitoring his health closely, maintaining safe and secure environments, and making careful decisions about his wellbeing. Dexter was full of life and quite the character, which also taught me a great deal about patience, boundaries and keeping dogs safe. I take the safety and security of every dog in my care very seriously. Whether that means checking the perimeter of a garden, sticking to a strict routine, or simply being present and attentive. You can trust that your dog is in safe, experienced and loving hands.

About: I’m an experienced animal owner with particular experience caring for cats and dogs, including older animals and pets with individual routines and needs. I also volunteer with a cat rescue, which has given me experience with a wide range of personalities, including nervous and rescue animals. I’m confident with feeding, companionship, walks, litter trays, basic medication routines where required, and making sure pets feel safe, settled and well cared for in their own home. I’m a small business owner and have time in the mornings, afternoons and evenings to take care of pets. I love being out and about so meeting new pets sounds like good fun and rewarding. I am diligent and conscientious. I am happy to take instructions as to how to best look after your pets in your home and I’ll take great care when walking, feeding etc.

About: I have over 5 years of experience in dog sitting, cat sitting, and doing drop-in visits for pet care. I absolutely love spending time with animals and making sure they’re happy, comfortable, and well cared for. Whether it’s feeding, walking, or just providing companionship, I always ensure pets are safe and content while their owners are away. My experience has given me the skills to handle a variety of needs and personalities, and I take pride in treating every pet as if they were my own. My schedule is flexible, and I’m able to adapt to fit pet care around my other commitments. I prioritize being reliable and available when needed, whether it’s for regular care, drop-ins, or last-minute requests. I plan my routine to ensure I can dedicate the time and attention each pet needs, making their well-being my top priority. Let me know your specific requirements, and I’d be happy to work around them! I care for pets by ensuring they’re fed, exercised, and given plenty of love and attention. I make sure they feel safe and comfortable, and I’m always attentive to their needs, whether it’s playtime, cuddles, or sticking to their routine.

About: Hi, I'm Rachael and my 13 year old daughter, Francesca and I love travelling around the UK whilst house sitting and caring for pets. We have been house and pet sitting through Rover and the housesittersuk website for 7 years and have had amazing experiences and received great reviews on there. We have experience of looking after lots of different kinds of dogs of varying temperaments/sizes/needs which includes: - rescue dogs - reactive dogs - anxious dogs - dogs with health issues requiring medication We are true animal lovers and treat all the pets we care for as if they were our own. Francesca in particular loves dogs (that is how we got into pet sitting) and is very confident with them. We also love cats and have 3 of our own - Yogi, Jonah and Mia (we have family nearby who look after them whilst we are away). In fact we love all animals and would be very happy to look after them with experience of caring for goats, chickens, birds, fish, reptiles, hamsters, rabbits and guinea pigs. We are based in Cheshire and have a car. I am self employed and work online and Francesca is home educated so we are not restricted to term time dates. The rate we charge for our services ranges from £25-£45 per night depending on the level of care required. If caring for dogs this would include 2 x 30 minute walks per day. WE PROVIDE: - DBS check - Insurance - Excellent references - Excellent care for your pets and home - Excellent communication throughout the sit with daily photos and updates - Your home left clean and tidy for your return WE REQUIRE: - Full written/printed/emailed instructions on how to care for your pets and home - including daily routines, feeding, medication etc. - A good internet connection - Your home left clean, tidy and secure for us We have a Facebook page - Plant Family Pet Sitting UK - where you can find out more about us through our posts, videos and photos. Please get in touch if we can help and we can arrange a video call to virtually meet you and your pets, chat about what you need and see if we are a good fit. We are happy to do a meet and greet in person before the sit if you are close enough. We look forward to hearing from you and are happy to answer any questions. Best Wishes Rachael and Francesca 🐾 I work part time as a virtual assistant working remotely and Francesca is home educated so we have plenty of time during the day to dedicate to pet care and are happy to work with a dog or a cat on our lap! It also means we are pretty flexible in our availability and are not restricted by work schedules or term times. I always ask lots of questions about the needs of the pets in our care so that I have a complete picture. All routines and care requirements are followed as per the pet owners instructions. When out walking I will always keep dogs on the lead unless the pet owner has expressed confidence in the dog's recall skills.

“I cannot recommend Charlotte enough. As soon as we had confirmed booking she arranged a home visit, so she could meet with us and talk through any requirements while we were away. We were only away for 5 nights, but everyday we received pictures/videos and updates. Our dog Tilly literally looked like she was living her best life with all the lovely walks she was taken on. Charlotte is so lovely and caring, we wouldn't think twice about using her again. 5 star service.”

About: I have had dogs my whole life as well as an array of different animals such as chickens, rabbits, guinea pigs breaded dragon. I completed a level two and three animal care course. I volunteered in kennels and an animal park for my work experience while I was at college. This gave me experience and knowledge in care for all different types of domestic and farm animals. After the work experience I gained more experience with both dogs and cats when working at kennels where I cared for , walked , fed and cleaned the animals. This also meant I gained a lot of first hand experience with cats and dogs and learnt about their behaviours. I’ve always had a passion for animals and love to meet and care for more pets. I don’t work and I’m home a lot of the time meaning I’d have plenty of time to care for any pets that were staying with me. My weekends are usually free so would love to have a pet or two to care for. I have a fenced garden to provide outdoor space for pets. If crates are needed there is plenty of space in the house for this. ​Because I am home full-time, your dog becomes a true member of the family the moment they walk through the door. I don't have a 9-to-5 pulling me away, which means I’m available for unlimited belly rubs, backyard playtime, and constant supervision. The Morning Social: We start the day with a group play session in the yard. My dog is a social butterfly and loves having a "coworker" to run around with. ​The Enrichment Hour: I love using puzzle toys, snuffle mats, or hide-and-seek games to keep their brains busy. It’s a lot of fun watching them figure out where the treats are hidden! ​Backyard Adventures: We spend a lot of time drifting in and out of the house. Whether it's chasing a ball or just sunbathing on the deck, no one is ever stuck inside bored. Nap Time (The "Cuddle Puddle"): After a big play session, we usually have a synchronized nap. My dog loves to curl up with friends, and I’m always there to make sure everyone has a comfy spot on the couch. ​Neighborhood Safaris: Since I’m not rushed, we take long, "sniffy" walks. I let the dogs lead the way (within reason!) so they can explore all the best scents in the neighborhood. Constant Company: Your dog is never left alone. I am here for every stretch, every yawn, and every "I need to go outside" look. ​Built-in Bestie: My dog is incredibly friendly and acts as a built-in entertainer. They spend the day wrestling, playing tag, and keeping each other happy. ​Total Flexibility: Need an extra-long walk? A midday bath? Or just someone to sit and watch TV with? Because I’m home, I can cater to your dog's specific personality and quirks.
