About: What sets me apart is that I live and breathe dog care - it isn’t just a side job for me, it’s my daily life. I’m a rescue pug mum myself, so I understand the patience, gentleness, and consistency it takes to make dogs feel safe and happy. I have hands-on experience with dogs who need a little extra TLC – from puppies who are still learning the ropes to senior dogs who need slower walks, medication reminders, and lots of comfort. I know how to spot signs of anxiety, stress, or health concerns, and I always tailor my approach to each dog’s personality and needs. Your dog won’t just be “looked after” - they’ll be loved, cuddled, and treated like part of the family. Safety, routine, and affection are at the heart of how I care for animals. Pet care is part of my everyday life. I already structure my days around looking after my own rescue pug, so fitting in walks, feeding, playtime, and cuddles comes naturally. I work from home and have a flexible schedule, which means I can give dogs plenty of attention throughout the day rather than just quick check-ins. Whether it’s morning walks, midday play breaks, or evening wind-down cuddles, I make sure every dog gets the consistency and care they need. In my home, pets are welcomed as part of the family. I provide a calm, safe, and cosy environment with lots of affection, play, and enrichment. I make sure pets have access to a comfy space to rest, regular walks suited to their energy level, and as much fuss as they want. I always keep to their usual routine for meals, toilet breaks, and bedtime so they feel secure. When I’m caring for pets in an owner’s home, I treat their space with the same respect I’d want for my own. I follow instructions closely, keep things clean and tidy, and send regular updates so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and cared for. My priority is always making sure each pet feels loved, safe, and settled.

About: What sets me apart is my calm, patient approach and genuine love for animals of all ages. I have hands-on experience caring for both cats and dogs. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and always make sure to follow the pet’s routine so they feel safe and comfortable. I also have a good understanding of pet body language, which helps me respond to their needs quickly and calmly. Most importantly, I treat every pet as if they were my own—with kindness, respect, and lots of love. I am a master student and currently do not have lectures, just working on my dissertation, therefore, I am very flexible for arranging working hours I always aim to follow pets’ usual routine as closely as possible to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I begin by carefully reviewing any instructions left by the owner (e.g. feeding times, portion sizes, medications if any, walk schedules, and any behavioural notes. I ensure fresh water is always available, and I keep feeding areas and litter trays clean. I offer playing and companionship to the pet based on their needs and personality. Moreover, I respect the owner’s home by keeping it tidy, locking up securely, and maintaining their trust by being reliable and communicative throughout the time I am there

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 :)

“Chin Ching did an amazing job looking after Ronnie for 4 nights. Ronnie is a really anxious/reactive rescue dog and Chin Ching made him feeling extremely comfortable and content the whole time. He can be challenging on a walk and Chin Ching was able to manage him well and keep him calm. Arrived promptly and sent plenty of updates. I had no doubt Ronnie was in very good hands! I would highly recommend using Chin Ching and will certainly be asking for them to dog sit Ronnie again.”

About: I’ve grown up in a pet-loving family and have always been surrounded by animals, especially cats. I rescued a cat of my own during covid, and for the past six years, I’ve regularly looked after friends’ dogs of all sizes and temperaments from Dachshunds to Chow Chows. Whether it’s feeding visits, day care/walks, or overnight stays, I’m comfortable caring for dogs both in my own home or in yours. I treat every dog like they’re my own, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and well looked after while you’re away. My schedule is flexible as I’m in between jobs, and I’m generally available during weekdays, evenings, and most weekends.

Whether your dog stays with me or I come to you, you can feel confident they’re in safe and loving hands.

I am very aware of all dogs having different needs and will respect this I work from home all week, so as long as I am notified in advance and accept, I am more than happy to take my lunch break to give your dog a great walk. I only offer walks at the moment, but will ensure that your dog walks a safe and green route that best suits their needs and makes them happy

About: I have been takin care of my cat for 4 years and also sometimes I would love to taking care of our neighbors cats and dogs when they’re on holiday. I’m currently a Masters student at Salford auniversity. I’ve got classes 2 or 3 days depending on a schedule but I could work 4 days in a week. Generally I feel like I have got a good relationship with the animals and I can easily understand what their needs and what do they like or don’t like.
