About: Hi! I’m Ruby a recent graduate living in Manchester working part time in a bar so I’m free most days! 😊 I have always had dogs in my life and have spent a lot of time looking after other peoples dogs too! I even have experience working in a doggy day care. Would be happy to schedule a meet and greet before booking to make sure we’re a great fit. ☺️ I’m currently working part time in the evenings and mostly on weekends. So I’m completely free in the day. I love going on walks anyway! I live in a comfortable, clean pet-friendly flat with instant access to green friendly space right outside my door. There is also a very close and lovely walk along the canal which is perfect for dog walks.

About: I’ve taken care of many animals of all different needs since I can remember, growing up I had three dogs, two of which were rescues, one was a very nervous rescue from Korea, and another eventually became reactive over time due to old age and varying underlying medical conditions, I believe this highlights me as being well equipped for animals that have certain needs and boundaries other sitters may not be able to cater towards. I have also done multiple gigs for pet sitting for family friends, including indoor kittens and outdoor elderly cats. So while only having dogs growing up, I also have enough experience minding cats. I have two part time casual retail jobs, so while I am working away from home, I can still work around you! I always have gaps throughout my week, and I’d be happy to fill them caring for your fur baby! I always update my calendar around when I know I’m working, so you don’t have to worry about it! if I am working for whatever reason, I’ll still be able to find time to look after your pet. I’m a big walker, so I am happy to walk up and down Manchester to look after your fur baby! If your pet needs more attention, I’m more than happy to dedicate a couple hours of my day to sit, play, and keep them company so that they can settle before you come home! I can be as flexible as possible, with the exception around my work, but I’m happy to pop in before or after a shift to ensure the best for your pet and you. I’ve always grown up around animals, and I adore them, so expect to receive a lot of photos and updates of your pet every time I pay them a visit. I also have owned two rescue dogs, three dogs in total, and all three had their own set of needs, one was a nervous rescue, another a clingy rescue who acted like my little shadow, and the other had occasional reactive behaviours, so I’m well adapted to learning and respecting your pets boundaries and behaviours.

About: I have been a devoted pet lover from a young age, growing up with two dogs — a Maltese and a Yorkshire Terrier — which gave me a deep understanding of canine behaviour and needs. I have also been a cat owner since 2023, caring for two beautiful cats, a Ragdoll and a Golden British Shorthair. This experience has taught me to understand different pet personalities and provide attentive, loving care. Friends and family have trusted me to look after their pets, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. I take pride in keeping owners updated with regular photos and messages, so you can enjoy your time away with complete peace of mind. As a full-time pet sitter, I am available 7 days a week with no other work or study commitments. Your pet will receive my complete attention throughout the day. I will follow their usual feeding schedule, play with them regularly, and ensure they feel comfortable and settled in their own home environment. I provide care exclusively in your own home, which means your pet stays in a familiar and stress-free environment with all their favourite toys, bedding and routines. I treat every pet as my own, with the same love and attention I give to my two cats. I will keep all doors and windows secure, follow any specific instructions you leave, and send regular photo and video updates throughout the day so you always know your pet is happy and safe.

“My doggies love Olivia! She is absolutely great with them and even my shy chihuahua has opened up to her over time and allowed her to pick her up and cuddle her (which she rarely does with strangers). The doggies always have a good time with her and are out by the end of the day. Thanks so much for taking such great care of them!”

“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”

Whisky was delighted to hang out with Dulcie and Wilf each time. They were flexible and communicative in arranging schedules. They picked up on Whisky's needs and made sure he had fun. He now makes a beeline for their place whenever we go for a walk. Would trust and recommend.

Zara was fantastic! She is very responsive to messages and sent lots of photos after. My partner was so worried about leaving our dog with a stranger but he was in such good hands. There is nothing 'cookie-cutter' about her approach - she asked about my dogs needs and made him comfortable. Highly recommend!

Sam has been an amazing dog walker, highly recommend! As our first ever dog walker he’s taken so much worry off us with his genuine care for our dog, always on point and great communication. He understands our dogs needs being more reactive and has handled this incredibly making her very happy and us stress free :)
Eve is just fab as always, took on a very last minute booking and was such a help and very flexible. Riley seems to really warm to her and I always get amazing full updates and pictures of their walk. So lovely to know he's in such good hands and she even said hello to the cat too whilst we were out. Thank you!

I recently had the pleasure of meeting, Zaynah who has recently started her dog walking service in the M14 area , and I couldn't be more impressed. We arranged a meet and greet for my 10-year-old Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, Ruben. As an older dog, Ruben is very set in his ways and can be quite stubborn at times. However, the moment he met Zaynah, his tail was wagging and he immediately wanted lots of cuddles, which spoke volumes to me. Zaynah took the time to ask plenty of questions about Ruben, including his likes and dislikes, any medication he takes, how he interacts with other dogs, whether he enjoys playing games, and if he can be trusted off the lead. Her thorough approach and genuine interest in understanding Ruben's needs immediately put my mind at ease. We then arranged for Zaynah to take Ruben out for a walk. As they were still getting to know each other, Ruben did give her a bit of a run-around, but she handled it with patience, kindness, and good humour throughout. Zahan is a charming, confident, reliable, and trustworthy young lady who clearly cares about the dogs she looks after. I would have no hesitation in recommending her to anyone looking for someone special to care for and walk their fur babies. Knowing Ruben is in such capable hands gives me complete peace of mind.

Brooke is a fantastic dog walker. She handled our dog-reactive large greyhound (Thomas) expertly. She was always prompt picking him up. She responds quickly to messages and communicates very well. She provides the CUTEST pictures and updates from the walks. Thomas absolutely adores her. Only downside is his little heart will be broken tomorrow when he realises Brooke is not coming to take him for his morning walk. We would have been lost without her this week!

Reus had such a great time with Ching—he looked genuinely happy in every single picture! I was getting updates constantly, which made me feel really at ease. You can tell he was well cared for and enjoying himself the whole time. I’d 100% recommend him and will definitely be booking again.

Alex has been wonderful with my rescue dog. She took time to understand my dog’s needs and behaviours and her wealth of experience shows. Alex is very responsive and communicative with bookings, pick-ups, drop offs and how their walk went. She has gone out of her way to take my dog on walks/places she enjoys despite her mobility issues. Thanks, Alex 🐶
