“It’s always brilliant to have Simon look after our boy. We’re only just starting to leave Kilo at home whilst we go back to the office but know that we will have a happy dog to return to when he’s been out and about with Simon. Very reliable, communicative and gentle service!”


About: I’ve loved animals since I was very young, have had pets of my own from puppies/kittens until they’ve lived their long and happy lives. I’ve sitted for highly anxious and very friendly dogs. I believe that each pet needs love and care that suits their unique personalities and I want to make sure each pet gets an enriching and caring experience with me I’m available for boarding any day of the week, just need a couple of days notice. If need be I can do evenings last minute, just give me a shout if you really need Weekends are always free I am very respectful of yours and your pets space, I want to make them feel comfortable having me in your space and will make sure I am caught up with how you live with them and provide them love and care. We can chat about how best to do this in your own space, but I’m happy to be around all day for whatever your furry friend may need

About: I am 51 years old and have fed, walked, mucked out and administered medication (pills) to: dogs, cats, budgies and a rabbit. I have had a loving connection to animals since childhood. I respect their right as individuals being mindful of their needs for companionship and down time. I can provide caring and respectful interaction with your companion animal and carry out instructions for feeding and their other routines as well as make sure that your property is kept secure and tidy. I am physically fit, (running, cycling, swimming and climbing). I love to get out and about especially hiking/walking/running at your dog's pace and I love to play them at their own games, tug of war and fetch! I provide regular photo and video updates and supervise their care routines. I have 11 years of monthly volunteer experience at a vegan ran animal rescue sanctuary, which keeps rescued pigs, sheep, cows, turkeys, geese, ducks, an alpaca and also had a sadly departed rescue deer. I have also volunteered at Kerala animal rescue in India for stray dogs (rescue, neuter, vacinate and release). I can provide references upon request. I'm currently working from home and enjoy taking breaks to exercise and interact with companion animals. We usually play their favourite game or walk/run either locally or on an exciting trip. I usually sit with companion animals in their home, and get a sense whether they want to play or chill out. I also provide their food and medication per regular routine.

About: I'm the girl that does, "aw look at that baby, muah muah" every time I cross by a dog. I adopted JoJo when I was 13, actually my mum surprised me. She brought me home during recess saying she wanted me to meet her friend who just flew in from the US. I came home not to a woman but a white fluffy soft toy sitting in our balcony and I was like "wait, no way!" He passed away last year; giving me the best 10 years of my life. I had no idea how much I needed him. Although, I was the closest to JoJo, we've had Mithi, Rolly and Polly, Silky, Jelly and Belly over the years. Yes, my family LOVES dogs! I thus come from years of protective experience wherein I truly understand that looking after an animal is one of the highest forms of responsibility. It's not just about feeding or walking them—it's about ensuring they feel safe, seen, and loved. I’m deeply passionate about spending time with pets, giving them my full attention, talking to them so they never feel alone, and responding to their unique needs with patience and care. As a devoted pet parent to a dog and two cats, I know firsthand the emotional and practical responsibilities that come with caring for our beloved companions. You can trust that I will treat your pet with the same love and attentiveness I give my own. I completely understand that entrusting someone with your pet is a big decision—one that takes time and trust. I want to reassure you that I’m here to move at your pace and make this experience as comfortable as possible for both you and your furry companion. When I take on a booking, I commit to being with your dog full-time. They will never be left alone unless there’s an unavoidable emergency, in which case I will keep you informed at all times. I’m happy to share regular updates—whether through calls, photos, or videos—so you always know how your pet is doing. I also encourage a meet-and-greet beforehand, so your pet has the chance to get to know me and you can see how they respond in my presence. I do this out of genuine love and care for animals. My goal is always to create a safe, nurturing, and fun environment for your dog or cat. If there’s anything specific you need, I’m more than happy to accommodate. You can rest assured that your pet will receive the highest level of care and attention. I am on the road to completing my MSc degree with only my dissertation pending. As you can tell, I have a LOT of free time. Spending it with your dog would definitely be the highlight of my day :) I can timely feed the pet as well as take them for a walk. If they have any special needs, i am also very flexible and will cater to them to the best of my abilities :)

About: Hello! I’m a music school graduate with a big heart for animals. Currently, I’m a proud owner of two adorable guinea pigs, and I’ve had the joy of caring for a variety of pets over the years—from cats and rabbits to dogs (including my late pug, Pizza, who stole my heart!). I am a musician, so my time is quite flexible. Currently I have plenty of time in August, almost available everyday, week or weekend are fine I’ve often helped friends by pet-sitting, and my boyfriend’s family has multiple cats, so I’m experienced in managing furry personalities of all kinds. What I love most is connecting with animals on their terms: whether that means cuddles, playtime, walking them or giving them space when they need it. I’m patient, compassionate, and attentive to their unique needs. As a sitter, I prioritize transparency—I’m happy to send photo/video updates so you can see your pet is happy and safe. Looking forward to meeting your beloved companions!

About: I’ve always had a deep love for animals. I have both dogs and cats back home in Peru, and now, as a Peruvian living in Manchester, I continue to be passionate about pets. I’m very patient with animals, giving them the love they need while always respecting their space. My first experience was with my senior mixed-breed dog, Mike, who is now 15 years old. I also have a young French Bulldog, Nacho, who is 3 years old and knows tricks like giving his paw and sitting. Additionally, I care for my two cats, and all my pets get along well with each other. My experience with both senior and young dogs, as well as cats, gives me a unique perspective on multi-pet households and how to ensure harmony between them. I work part-time three days a week, which gives me plenty of flexibility to care for pets during the rest of the week. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or simply being there to keep them company, I ensure that your pets receive the attention they need when you’re away. In both my home and the pet owner's home, I focus on creating a safe and comfortable environment where pets can thrive. I stick to established routines, including daily walks, feeding times, and any specific instructions provided. I’m particularly mindful of dietary needs, as one of my own pets required a special diet, so I’m well-prepared to manage pets with unique food requirements. When caring for pets in the owner's home, I’m respectful of household rules and preferences. I easily adapt to different environments, ensuring that I follow any specific guidelines related to pet care, such as areas where pets are allowed or special instructions for their care. I work autonomously, so owners can trust that their pets are in capable hands without needing to worry about constant supervision.

“Super happy pooch! I booked Ferlin for the weekend and came home to a very happy pooch. Ferlin was great at making arrangements for a pre-visit and kept me constantly updated on walks and feeding times. Will definitely book again.”


“Brilliant dog walker, Mohammed looked after and visited Sanka whilst I was at work giving regular updates and letting me know how each walk went. I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a dog walker or for drop in visits”


About: We’ve both grown up with many dogs, both big and small. From going on walks in the peaks or the lakes, to curling up on the sofa, a furry friend would fit in well to our day to day lives. We’re very active at weekends, either walking in the Peaks or the Lakes, or on a field sidelines watching Paddy play rugby. We both work full time, but with a few days a week from home, and this can be flexible. We are active and live in a lovely area with a lot of outside greenery. We don’t have any other pets in our household. We have a secure balcony, a secure communal garden at the bottom of our block and park are nearby.

About: I’ve had dogs and cats since I was a kid, so I know how to take care of them. I’ve fed, groomed, played with, and given lots of love and attention to my pets. I’m confident I can do the same for your pets, making sure they’re comfortable, happy, and safe while you’re away. Since my work schedule is flexible, I can easily adjust to your pet’s needs. Whether it’s feeding, walking, or just giving them some love and attention, I can make time to fit in with their routine. I’m available to ensure your pet gets the care and attention they deserve whenever they need it. I believe pets are most comfortable in their own home, so I prefer to care for them there. I’ll follow their routine, give them plenty of love, attention, and playtime, and make sure they feel safe and relaxed. I’ll also keep your home tidy and make sure your pets are happy while you’re away!

“Emma is a great carer. We've worked together on Carbee's regular weekly walkie and she also stayed in our flat to look after Carbee while we are away for weekend. Emma has been very trustable, patient and with great communication! Definitely recommend her services”


About: I've had pets the majority of my life, before moving for uni I lived with 3 cats, a dog, and two guinea pigs! As well as caring for my own pets, I was also responsible for walking my grandmothers dog during his final years when she was unable to keep up with what he needed for fitness. Looking after pets isn't just a chore in my eyes its enjoyable and I love learning animal's personalities! I'm currently a PhD student which means I have a lot of control over my work hours, so I'll be available to care for pets any time during the work day, as I can come and go when necessary or work from my laptop if I'm pet sitting in yours or my own home! Care for pets in my eyes is treating them like a member of the family! I'll play with, feed, walk, and love your pets. Adaptability is key as well, for example, where my household is big on spoiling with treats (within reason of course), I wouldn't do this without express permission when caring for someone else's pet!

“Gabriella is fab, you can tell she really does love dogs and cares for them like her own. I was kept updated and Archie was happy and content when I returned. We’re looking forward to having Gabriella again!”


About: I’ve always been surrounded by animals, and my love for them started young thanks to my Grandma, who taught me how to care for pets and understand their body language. I began pet sitting when I was just 10, helping her look after puppies & dogs every day after school. At 12, I got my first dog, & since then, dogs have been a huge part of my life. Now, I have my dream girl, Lila an affectionate and playful Pocket Bully who loves meeting people and other dogs! She’s my world, and I care for her like family the same way I’ll care for your fur baby. She lives with my mum as I’ve moved into Manchester City Center with my Boyfriend. I’m active & love long, adventurous walks (often 2+ hours!). Meeting new people & dogs brings me so much joy, and I’m excited to give your dog a safe, fun, and love filled experience with plenty of cuddles and kisses along the way! 💕🐾 I get home from work around 3 PM Monday to Friday which gives me plenty of time in the afternoons and evenings to dedicate to pet care—whether that’s walking, playing, feeding, or just keeping your pup company. On weekends, I’m completely free and available all day, so I can give your dog lots of attention, love, and outdoor time. Your pet’s comfort and routine will always come first with me! In my home, pets are treated like family with lots of love, playtime, and a calm space to relax. When caring for pets in your home, I follow your routine closely, keep everything clean and calm, and make sure your pet feels safe and loved just like you would.

About: I would regularly take my family’s energetic cocker spaniel for runs and walks. I am a huge dog-lover and I have looked after friends dogs, ensuring they are walked, fed and cared for. I am currently a paralegal in Manchester and have hybrid working hours. Therefore, I am able to watch over any pets 3 days of the week whilst working from home and I am walking distance from my office so able to come back at lunch to walk or check on any pets. I am often available over the weekends and I can often take last minute bookings due to my flexible schedule. I live in a pet-friendly flat, next to a green area and I am an active individual so I am able to cater to the most energetic of dogs. I would be able to walk, feed, groom and bathe your dog if needed.

Genevieve K.
“Genevieve did a great job looking after my dogs while I was on holiday. She stayed with them in my apartment and sent me regular updates with photos. I came back to 2 very happy and relaxed dogs - I can highly recommend her!”


Jaagriti B.
“I have seen Jaagriti around dogs. The switch in personality is insane. She suddenly has a baby voice and is blowing hundreds of kisses in the air for them. Every time we walk by a dog, she always, always mentions it like look how cute he/she is. If I’m not wrong, she recently lost her dog so I think she feels a deeper connection with every dog that she sees or pets. She’s mentioned wanting to be a dog sitter to me for a while now and I honestly think it would be really constructive for her. Dogs make her happy, really happy.”
