“Lucy was wonderful. Communication and planning was easy, and I felt like Otis was in great hands. He definitely had a lovely time. I‘ve already rebooked her for another house sit :)”

“Lauren looked after our 2 little Dachshund girls recently in our home whilst we were on holiday. She was absolutely fantastic!! and our girls loved her, it was such peach of mind knowing they was happy and being so well looked after. Even getting little updates whilst we were away made it even more special. We came home to 2 very happy girls and also a spotless home. We will most definitely be using Lauren going forward!”

“Elizabeth was great sitting for Kenji in our home over the Christmas holidays. When we came back home we were happy to find Kenji in a great shape and mood and our home was nice and tidy too. Elizabeth provided us with lots of photos and videos daily, to keep us updated. She conforted Kenji when there were fireworks and she kept him dry and warm during and after walks as it was very muddy and frosty outside. We would recommend Elizabeth to anyone needing a caring and reliable dog sitter.”

“Imogen did such a great job sitting for our dog, Sandy. She came for a meet and greet beforehand, communication was great throughout, and we knew Sandy was being really well looked after. Sandy can sometimes be a little nervous with new people, but she was happy and comfortable around Imogen straight away. Highly recommend!”

“So lovely! First time using a cat sitter as we just got Caspar but Selin was so great, sent me updates through the day and took lots of vids and pictures which really helped me feel better about leaving him x”


“Nadine was great with my new puppy, I was so nervous to leave him but he absolutely loved Nadine! She sent me lots of updates of playtime and nap times while I was at work which really put me at ease. Nadine also got him to use his crate with the door open for the first time!”

“Sybil lived Grainne instantly and I felt very comfortable leaving her. Accommodating of a last minute and late request, would definitely be happy to leave Sybil with Grainne again!”

“Ollie looked after our 3 pugs while we were on holiday. He was a great! Really made us feel comfortable and at ease. He communicated well and ensured he was well prepared for while we were away. Can highly recommend him for your pet sitting needs :)”

About: I’m a reliable and caring pet sitter based in Manchester who genuinely loves spending time with animals. I have a dog who lives in Jersey, and since moving away I really miss being around pets, which is why pet sitting is such a great fit for me. I have experience caring for both cats and dogs and can provide testimonials from previous owners. Unfortunately, I’m unable to have pets of my own where I currently live, so I truly value every opportunity to look after and spend time with animals. I also hold a clean DBS check and, as a university student, I’m flexible and able to fit pet sitting around my studies. Your pets will be safe, well cared for, and given plenty of attention and affection while you’re away. I am currently a student at university so looking to do pet sitting around my studies. I am at university 3 times a week. Monday, Tuesday and Thursday and will have extra availability when the university is closed for break. if I am caring for someone’s pet I ensure that there pet is safe from harm at all times and ensure that there is nothing out that would harm their pet and that the doors are securely locked to prevent their pet from escaping.

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.
“Yuran looked after our cat Luna over the bank holiday for 3 days and was absolutely brilliant. She was very caring and attentive with Luna, and kept us updated throughout with lots of lovely pictures which really put our minds at ease. Luna was very happy and well looked after when we got back. We would definitely use Yuran again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable cat sitter.”

Friends, neighbours and family have always trusted me to walk, feed, check in on and spend quality time with their pets while they’re away.

I always make sure to follow each dog’s routine carefully so they feel safe, comfortable and happy. Whether it’s dog walking, drop-in visits or pet sitting, I’ll make sure your dog gets plenty of exercise, attention and affection. I understand how important it is to know your pet is in good hands, so I’m always happy to send regular updates and photos while you’re away. I’m reliable, patient and genuinely love spending time with animals. My goal is to make sure your dog feels relaxed and cared for while giving you complete peace of mind. I’m also happy to arrange a quick meet and greet beforehand so you and your dog feel completely comfortable. Feel free to message me with any questions — I’d love to meet you and your dog! 🐾 I work fully remote and can work my own hours so very flexible! I can take care of your dog Monday-Sunday all day except for any days I’ve out as unavailable on my calendar already. I’m happy to be flexible where possible and will always make sure your dog gets the attention, exercise and care they need. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities.

I make sure pets feel relaxed and secure, whether I’m caring for them in your home or taking them out for walks. I’ll also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your dog is happy and well looked after.
“Ethan and his girlfriend Beth looked after Ned over the bank holiday weekend at short notice! Ethan was really lovely and made us feel at ease leaving Ned with him, he sent lots of updates, with photos and videos. I was a bit worried because he is only 4 months old and it was so hot, but he reassured me he was fine! Ned clearly liked Ethan and Beth too and they have built a bond with him :) They also left the house really clean and tidy and even took the bins out! Thank you so much, will definitely use Ethan again in the future!”


About: I have always had pets growing up. I have previously worked for the RSPCA as an animal carer, I have experience with all sizes of dogs and cats from very young to very old. As well as private dog sitting/walking in the past. I am comfortable grooming animals as well. I have a degree in psychology with a focus on animal behaviour, and I will be starting my animal behaviour and welfare masters in October. Currently looking for regular or one off clients. I am starting a masters in animal behaviour and welfare in October and I am wanting to continue animal care over the summer before starting. As my course has not yet started, I currently have plenty of time in the day to spend with your furry friends! I have a lot of pet sitting and caring experience through previous roles as an animal carer. I am also DBS checked. I understand how important routine is for your animals, so I am happy to follow your schedules to ensure your pet is well cared for.

About: Hi! I’m Georgia, a reliable and caring animal lover based in Manchester. I’ve grown up around dogs and have always been the person friends and family ask to look after their pets when they’re away. I sadly lost my family dog I grew up with last year so I absolutely love the chance of looking after others. I love getting outside for walks and runs, so I’m very happy to take energetic dogs out for longer walks, but I’m equally happy relaxing with older pets who just want company. I understand how important it is to feel your dog is safe and happy while you’re away, so I’ll always send updates and photos to give you peace of mind. My camera roll is already filled with dog pictures! I’m responsible, calm, and treat every pet as if they were my own. Whether your dog needs a walk, drop-in visits, or overnight care, I’d love to help. Feel free to message me with any questions Pet care fits easily into my routine as I have a flexible schedule. I work from home on Tuesdays and Fridays, which means I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and spending time with pets throughout the day. On the other weekdays I work in a dog-friendly office and have a full hour lunch break, so I’m able to do midday walks or visits nearby. I’m also available in the evenings and most weekends, so I can be flexible depending on what your pet needs. I enjoy getting outside for walks and making sure pets get plenty of attention, exercise, and care. I also live in a dog friendly apartment! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always take the time to understand each pet’s routine, personality, and any specific instructions so I can keep things as consistent as possible while you’re away. I grew up with a very friendly Labrador, so I’m very comfortable around dogs and understand how important routine, exercise, and attention are for their wellbeing. I also regularly look after my friends’ cocker spaniels, so I’m used to caring for energetic and affectionate dogs. When caring for pets in their home, I make sure they are fed on schedule, have fresh water, get plenty of exercise, and receive lots of attention and affection. I’m happy to send regular updates and photos so you can feel reassured while you’re away. For walks, I keep dogs on the lead unless instructed otherwise and make sure they are walked in safe areas. I’m always attentive to their behaviour and surroundings so every walk is calm and enjoyable. I will always treat your home with respect and make sure everything is left tidy and secure. My goal is for your pet to feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. My apartment is a dog friendly building and I live close enough to peel park to make sure there’s somewhere spacious to walk them.

Third time I’ve booked Lauren and will definitely be booking her again. Mila loves her too, even cries when she leaves haha. Lauren sent updates and photos throughout the days which was nice and made me feel comfortable leaving my puppy with her. Mila was relaxed and happy in Lauren’s company

Couldn't thank Emma enough. Lovely person. She really did the extra mile taking care of our very active dog and left the house very tidy. Our worries went away in the first day of our holiday as we received loads of pictures and updates. Would recommend her in a heartbeat. X

Yuran looked after our cat Luna over the bank holiday for 3 days and was absolutely brilliant. She was very caring and attentive with Luna, and kept us updated throughout with lots of lovely pictures which really put our minds at ease. Luna was very happy and well looked after when we got back. We would definitely use Yuran again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable cat sitter.

Our little Lexi-lulu loved Beth on sight 🐶 She took wonderful care of her and she sent us regular updates and photos so we knew our little one was happy and well looked after. She was also very flexible in meeting us before our first booking so we could take her through everything she needed to know and Lex could get comfortable. We are very happy to recommend Beth to anyone looking for sitter 🐾

Setayesh was such a dream. She was so brilliant communicating with me the whole time, sending me loads of gorgeous photos to show me how happy and comfortable they all were. She gave my girl her eye drops as needed which was a huge relief. My cats loved her and I will absolutely have her again 💗 thanks so much Sett :)

Sherry took amazing care of our 2 rescue dogs at our house whilst we were away for a long bank holiday weekend - she really went above and beyond to make sure everything was taken care of and our dogs were happy and comfortable. She is clearly a real professional at dog sitting and we had total peace of mind that she was taking great care of our dogs, plus our house was spotless when we got back and we got loads of updates and photos! Would not hesitate to use her again 😊
