House Sitting Knutsford

“We wouldn’t hesitate to use El again. Great communication and understanding of our rescue dogs complex needs!”

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: 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.

“Jennie is lovely, she has been so patient and accommodating with our difficult dog and has gone out of her way to ensure he is comfortable and happy. She also sent us lots of photos and updates which was so lovely. Highly recommended!”

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.

“Hannah was amazing with Lola as always, Lola loves her company and we always know shes being well looked after whilst being in Hannah's care. Our house was left clean and tidy and we were kept up to date with messages and photos whilst away. Thanks again for looking after Lola for us 🙂”

About: Hi, I’m Georgia! I’m a huge animal lover and know how important it is to find someone you can completely trust with your dog. I’d love to give your pup a home-from-home experience filled with walks, cuddles, attention and lots of love.

I regularly look after three dogs (a nervous but loving Cavapoo, a playful Chihuahua and a lively Hungarian Vizsla), so I’m used to caring for dogs with very different personalities, needs and energy levels. I love getting to know each dog individually and adapting their care to what makes them happiest, whether that’s long walks and exploring or a quieter day with plenty of cuddles.

I live in Altrincham, just a 5-minute walk from John Leigh Park and the surrounding green spaces, which makes it easy to enjoy regular walks and outdoor time. At home, dogs can relax and make themselves comfortable with plenty of sofa cuddles. I work from home when I’m looking after dogs, so they’ll have lots of company and won’t be left alone for long periods. I only look after a small number of dogs at a time so each one gets plenty of attention, care and affection.

I’m happy to follow your dog’s usual routine, including feeding schedules, toilet breaks, medication and any little quirks that help them feel comfortable. I understand every dog is different, from playful puppies who need patience and attention to older dogs who may prefer a gentler pace. I always make sure I have your emergency contact details and any important information about your dog before their stay.

I offer dog boarding, house sitting, doggy daycare, home visits and tailored walks. I always arrange a meet and greet beforehand so we can get to know each other and make sure it’s the right fit.

I’ll treat your dog like they’re my own and give you peace of mind that they’re safe, happy and getting plenty of love while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my routine as I work from home when looking after pets, meaning they have plenty of company and won’t be left alone for long periods. I love getting outdoors and regularly enjoy walks around Altrincham and the local parks, so dogs can have plenty of exercise, enrichment and fresh air as part of their day For dogs staying with me, I create a calm, home-from-home environment where they can relax, enjoy walks, playtime and plenty of cuddles. I follow each dog’s usual routine, including feeding times, toilet breaks, medication and any individual needs or preferences. For cats and home visits, I understand how important it is to keep things familiar and stress free. I’ll follow their normal routine, making sure they have fresh food and water, a clean litter tray, playtime, attention and affection (always on their terms!) I only look after a small number of pets at a time so each one receives plenty of care, attention and love

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!!

“Georgia was fantastic! She loved my girls and they loved her! Georgia let me know once she had arrived and sent regular updates. She sent me lots of pics of Suka and Angel which meant a lot to me s they looked happy and relaxed. It was lovely to take an overnight break with no worries or concerns.”

“Holly looked after my two dogs in my home. While looking after Lua (Westie) and Meka (Miniature Schnauzer), I got sufficient updates while I was away and my dogs got their usual routine - walks, meals and lots of attention. Holly was respectful of my home and kept it tidy, something that I appreciate very much. Holly is a good communicator, caring and ambitious. I do recommend Holly to look after your pets in your home, and I certainly will call on Holly to look after Lua and Meka in the future.”

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.

“Ben came and looked after our 2 vizslas for a week. They are 2 very active dogs who need lots of exercise and affection. Ben coped really well with their different needs and kept us updated all week so we could relax. The dogs both looked happy and relaxed on our return. We would highly recommend Ben and will definitely use him again 👍👍😊”

About: I have 10+ years of hands-on experience with dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies to senior pets with special needs. When I was growing up there were always animals in my house. With my mother being a dog walker I am very used to dogs which need personalised care, including basic puppy training, administering medications, and extra patience for older dogs. My passion for animals ensures that every dog in my care receives the attention, affection, and tailored care they need to feel safe and happy. Whether it’s playful walks or calm companionship, I’m dedicated to creating a positive and stress-free experience for both pets and their owners. I own two Pomeranians, Pablo who is 8 and Atom who is 1 1/2. They both love the company of other dogs and are very gentle. I am self-employed so I get to choose when and where I work. I am available to board weekdays and most weekends. I play hockey on Saturdays but I can be flexible with when I play if I am given enough notice. My garden is all fenced off as I have two small Pomeranians of my own which absolutely love the company of other dogs. My garden is also quite large so there is plenty of space to roam around.

DBS checked and fully insured. Professional references can be provided. I stay fully contactable throughout my visits and can provide photos,and up-dates to suit your preferences.

I stick closely to your pet’s normal routine — including meal times, walks, play sessions, and cuddles — to help them feel comfortable and secure.

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.
