“James and Soomin were great looking after our little Lola. They shared daily updates and took really good care of her. She seemed very happy and super comfortable with them. Thanks again for everything!”
“I don’t even know where to start, Valeria, her boyfriend & Johnny are now Alfie’s best friends. Alfie spent the week whilst we were on holiday, I received photos, videos showing Alfie having the best time. Alfie is always so excited to see Valeria which puts me at ease so much. We will book Alfie in for another visit very soon. Thank you all ❤️”
About: I’m a lifelong dog lover with 5 years of hands-on dog sitting experience. I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life, including English Cocker Spaniels, American Cocker Spaniels, and Cavalier King Charles Spaniels. As an adult, I’ve owned a miniature dachshund called Milo. Over the last few years I’ve regularly looked after dogs for friends and family, including dachshunds and a Shipoo (Shih Tzu/Poodle mix). I’m comfortable with different personalities and energy levels but I live in an apartment so larger dogs might not have the room they need for longer stays. I live alone in a secure owned apartment in central Manchester with a fully enclosed private astro-turfed roof terrace, so dogs have a safe outdoor space to relax and play. I work hybrid and have a flexible schedule so as long as I have a bit of notice I can work my office days around booking. With a bit more notice, I’m also available on weekends. I’ll keep you up to date through the day with pictures so you know your child is happy and safe. My apartment is on the border of Manchester and Salford with a number of small parks in very close proximity and Peel Park a 10 minute walk away. Pet care fits naturally into my routine as I work hybrid role and have a flexible schedule, which means dogs get plenty of company, attention, toilet breaks, and walks throughout the day rather than being left alone for long periods. I’m active myself, so regular walks and playtime are something I genuinely enjoy. I’m also flexible on weekends with notice, so I can adapt around a dog’s normal routine to help them feel comfortable and settled. I care for pets as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and settled from the moment they arrive. I’ll stick closely to their usual routine, including feeding times, walks, play, toilet breaks, and any specific instructions from the owner. My apartment is calm, clean, and secure, and I also have a fully enclosed private roof terrace with astro turf where dogs can safely get fresh air and relax. I also make sure owners stay updated with messages and photos so they can feel reassured while they’re away.
“Sam always takes wonderful care of our Frank, he comes home happy and knackered every time. We’re very grateful to have somewhere for him to stay where we have no worries what he’s up to, especially as he’s a very nervous boy. Thank you Sam as always!!!”
“Blu had a fantastic time with Hannah we couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! Hannah kind, reliable, and clearly has a natural way with animals. Blu was so well cared for and came back happy, calm, and clearly well-loved. We really appreciated the regular updates and photos — it gave us such peace of mind while we were away. We would absolutely recommend Hannah to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter. Thank you again for taking such great care of our furry family member! Blu is looking forward to coming to stay again”
“Silvia was excellent and very responsive. She took a really good care of Leshy and I could see from photos how happy he was. Her dog being the same age and same energy as Leshy was a cherry on top and they seemed to have a lot of fun. I would recommend Silvia and definitely go back to her again in the future.”
“Newton & Jia were excellent dog minders for our Westie! We were lucky to get them so last minute and they took great care of her with plenty of walks and cuddles and updates throughout the weekend. Would definitely recommend and will re-book in the future.”
“Louis had a great time with Jamie. They took wonderful care of her and kept us updated with lots of cute pictures. Great dog sitters and we’d be happy to book with Jamie again!”
“Imogen was amazing! She was very friendly and happy to meet with me and Frank for a M&G beforehand and was very attentive to all the info I gave her on Frank. We had some last minute changes to the booking which she was very accommodating of. I knew frank was in safe hands, and felt completely at ease leaving him with Imogen. I was provided with updates and photos even though it was a shorter stay this time. Imogen clearly adores dogs, and I would 1000% book again - would definitely recommend!”
“thank you so much michael for such amazing service lovely to meet you. thank you for taking such great care of our cat we got so many updates and kinds words would definitely go with michael again in the future 10/10 couldn’t have asked for more. michael provides a very loving and accepting home”
“I am so glad I picked Lucy to look after my cat! It’s my first time finding a sitter for Porridge and so I was quite nervous, but Lucy was so helpful and understanding. She did such a great job of looking after a very high energy kitty and kept me updated daily with pictures and videos so I never had to worry. He came back very healthy, happy and purring. I highly recommend Lucy!”
“Maria was lovely & caring. Our dog had a lovely time with her. She sent loads of pictures and kept us updated about our dog. Would use her pet sitting services again in the future.”
About: Experience with various dog breed including Labrador husky and mixed breeds I have a rescue Labrador living with me and I focus on training behaviour adjustment and building trust through patient’s and routine care Pet care if it’s naturally into my daily routine I am flexible with mornings afternoons and evenings and I ensure consistent time for walks feeding play and check-in so pets feel comfortable and cared for I prioritise safety routine and a calm environment. I follow the owners instructions closely maintain secure handling during walks and ensure pets are supervised comfortable and never left in unsafe situations. I focus on building trust gradually with each animal.
About: I have had dogs my whole life, from when I was born until now (aged 29) and would class myself as a firm dog lover! Dogs naturally pick up energy and I am always making new dog friends. Ever since I moved from my family home 4 years ago, I miss smudge everyday. Dog sitting gives me the feeling that I am home again and able to cuddle, play, feed, walk and chill with a furry companion. Sitting practicality: Me and my partner (who is also a dog lover), live in Salford right near Peel Park - a perfect dog walking spot for your loved baby. We can cater to any specific dog diets or ability needs and have experience with family dogs, friends, neighbours and online enquiries of dog sitting for various dogs from Shih tzu puppies, poodles, French bulldogs to Labradors and more. Our flat is a safe, warm and clean environment for your beloved pet. We will ensure any brief is met and we are happy to meet for a chat prior to agreement of sitting your dog if required. As I am freelance and my work is mainly remote, I offer a flexible schedule to my own timings - meaning whenever your doggy would need a walk, feed, play, or more I can work around to make this happen. The weekends are mostly free and there is both myself & my partner available so two dog sitters and schedules for the price of 1! Living in a dog friendly building in Manchester provides benefits as there is always dogs out on the green if your dog is friendly. If your doggy is more antisocial we can take them on a more secluded walking area or green. We have ensured safety measures, there is no balcony in our apartment so no risks there. We are stocked with dog treats, puppy pads, water / food bowls, toys and more to ensure your baby has the best say! We have even asked the owners to send voicenotes before so that we can play them if your dog does feel uncomfortable at any time.
“Would highly recommend this sitter for your dog. Our dog has epilepsy requiring strict medication schedules and keeping his routine consistent. Hannah provided lots of updates and photos, we could see he was having a lovely time and thoroughly enjoying himself. We would have no hesitation in using Hannah again.”
“Cody was really happy to spend time with her. I got pictures and videos everything and I was really impressed of how they connected. Thanks for helping me sit Cody and making him feel comfortable in your home. Your help is greatly appreciated!”
About: I have been a dog owner for the last 15 years and my future goal is to own a Dog Day Care Business. In that time I have been the go to dog sitter for friends and family! I have also worked in animals sanctuaries where I cared for the animals health and wellbeing. I am very fortunate to have recently become a Certified Dog Trainer, and appreciate everything that I have learnt to improve my skills and experience with dogs. I work full-time and can work from home twice a week on Mondays-Thursdays! Weekends are doable with a little notice. I live within the city centre and am only a short distance away from transport links so travel to you should be easy! I have a large dog friendly apartment with my partner for when your pet wants to relax. I live close to many nice parks and amenities for when your pooch needs a walk.

Vanessa and her partner took great care of our dog in their lovely home. They were super flexible on our drop off and pickup times, sent us photo updates, and you could tell they really enjoyed having him. They’re passionate about dogs and they’re lovely people. Good communication. We highly recommend them. So pleased we chose them. Thanks very much!
5 stars!!! I left my baby chihuahua with Elena for the first time and she was amazing. I received constant updates, the best communication and my dog was so so happy. I usually never use a new sitter but with elena I felt so comfortable and we have been in touch since. 10/10 recommend.
Could not recommend her more! I had a very last minute resquest for my 13 week puppy, Yemisi responded quickly and was willing to meet the next day. I had to change the date and type of request and she was still deeply accommodating. He had a last minute vets app, she was understanding and administered his medication as instructed. She sent loads of pictures so I knew he was having fun and he came home tired. I will definitely be using her services again.
Thank you for taking Kylo on his first beach adventure! ☀️ It was so lovely seeing all the photos and videos of him having the absolute time of his life. Kylo also got to meet Aysha’s niece and nephew and instantly made some new besties! 💕 Thank you for always treating Kylo like one of your own, it’s more like family than just a pet sitting service. He’s clearly so loved and cared for with yous, and it means so much to us. 😊
Mus as always is enthusiastic and engaging with all her furry friends and their humans. Buffy enjoys her time with Mus and meeting new friends to play with 🤗 Mus always supports Buffy’s needs even the diva ones….. I would definitely recommend Mus to provide care for your loved ones. xx
Xinjie and her partner looked after Yoshi for about 3 weeks whilst we were away and they took amazing care of him. Multiple walks, trips to the park, making sure he’s cleaned and brushed. Playing with him loads. I was sent many cute videos and photos and updates on him. I felt so reassured he was being looked after so so well whilst we were away. Honestly you can tell how much love they put into him. Thank you so so much! 10/10
Hannah was amazing with Pablo, he took to her in an instant! Hannah kept me up to date through the day, sharing some brilliant photos of him clearly enjoying himself and making himself well and truly at home. Hannah was very attentive and made sure all his needs were met. He had an amazing day, I couldn't have been happier and I'll certainly be booking Hannah again!!
Zara was absolutely amazing. Our dog can have quite bad separation anxiety when she’s away from home but Zara was very understanding and Marge was very settled by the end of her stay. I also had a problem with my flights being rescheduled, meaning I had to book an additional night’s stay at very short notice, and Zara was very flexible with this which took the stress out of everything. All round a very lovely lady and will be booking again if needed!
Tania was perfect! She kept me updated with photos and videos of Mike every day along with a morning message and an evening message. Mike seemed to have loved his time with Tania and I’m sure he will be happy to go back when we next go away, would definitely recommend ♥️
Honestly can not fault Delenn at all, unfortunately Fergus was just too nervous to cope so we had a friend collect him and bring him to us, but she still made sure he was fed and safe. I’m very grateful for her time and would absolutely recommend regardless.
