Pet Sitting in Manchester

“Phoebe took great care of my cat and sent me photos and videos from each visit so I never felt too far away! Cat was happy, well-fed and stress-free when I got home :)”

About: I grew up surrounded by animals in a pet loving home and have experience looking after a variety of pets. I have loved many dogs, cats, birds and bunnies as members of the family. If you have pets other than dogs in the household that could also use some care or company during the day I'm also available to drop-in on them. Feel free to message me with any questions or queries or for a quote. I have previously completed a CPD certified course in Emergency First Aid for Dogs and other small animals. This certificate and training were updated as of November 2023. I took a break from professional pet care for a number of years to care for my parents and am so excited to get started again and get to know all of the lovely pets around the city. At home I have a 8 year old Chihuahua called Maxi. I understand how important it is to leave your dog in the care of someone you can trust, so I'd be happy to arrange a free meet and greet/trial walk before your first booking, where we can also further discuss you and your furry friend's individual needs. I am offering dog walks/drop ins part time around my training as a circus artist. I specialised in juggling at the National Centre for Circus Arts. After completing my degree in 2020 I can say I am extremely competent at fetch! Previous to this I was a full time dog walker. I keep my calendar up to date so you always be able to see far in advance any unavailable days. I will of course keep you informed of upcoming availability if you decide to book regularly. I only walk dogs from the same household. I believe this offers the best experience for dogs in terms of individual attention and enrichment, in addition to safety.

About: Hi! I’m Jess I have grown up around animals and have had the pleasure of owning two cats in my own flat up until recently. I have experience with paid dog walking and dog sitting for up to 1 week for up to 2 dogs at a time in my flat, including Chihuahuas, a Miniature Pinscher and Shih Tzus. This included regular walks, toilet break and regular play times! I am happy to adapt to your pets style of living as I allow cats and dogs on my furniture. I enjoy driving to the countryside for walks and feel it would be great to take a dog along for a walk for the day! I am prepared to spend evenings and weekends walking/housesitting dogs or cats and am reliable and can always be contacted. Currently I work full time, working Tuesday - Thursday in the office. I am usually out of the house from 8:20-18:00 on these days. I work from home every Friday and have Saturday/Sundays free. I do have flexibility with my work from home days so I can see about adjusting my schedule to your pets needs. Happy to work from home at a house sitting and keep your pet company during the day or evening! I offer house sitting services alongside regular pop in visits. As I have my own cat, I can no longer house animals in my own home but am happy to house sit and care for cats or dogs in your own home! This includes emptying cat litter trays, frequent daily visits, sleepovers, taking dogs for regular walks, cleaning up furballs etc. I do have a travel basket for dogs to be clipped into my car too :)

“Sofie was amazing and able to help with a drop in visit and short walk with Merlin at very short notice. Communication was great throughout and would recommend to anyone!”

“Irene did a brilliant job watching my two cats. She communicated well, gave nice photo and written updates and both cats seemed to enjoy her company. She was also very kind and helpful especially when we had to unexpectedly add on an additional check in. Thanks so much, we’d be happy to book her again.”

About: Both my partner and I have been animal lovers all our lives! We've previously used borrowmydoggy, and we jump at any opportunity to mind, walk and play with our friends' pups! I owned 2 cats previously in my family home I work from home two days a week, and my partner is remote 95% of the time so we're really flexible with our schedules depending on what you need. I am also open to house sitting Thurs - Sunday where I can WFH and be available to your pet around the clock! We live in an apartment in Manchester City centre, which is very open plan. I will only take your dog on walks in areas which are pre-approved and follow any specific instructions for looking after your pet very precisely. For doggy day-care, I can provide round-the-clock car, and we have a couple of dog-friendly parks close by that we'd make full use of for any furry guests!

“A lovely, responsible sitter who gave regular updates of my monkeys. Despite them being a shy pair, Martha got them playing happily. Highly recommended!”

“Elizabeth was a fantastic cat sitter for my Princess, she turned up everyday and looked after her. I felt totally at ease whilst on my holiday and I knew I didn't have to worry about my cat. I would recommend Elizabeth and I will definitely book her again, 10 out 10 for Elizabeth”

“Sarah is great! Only had 1 visit with Frankie so far and he very quickly gravitated towards her and felt safe! He’s an anxious boy and she’s great and dealing with him when he’s getting worked up! Thanks so much!”

About: Hello! I'm Graeme, and I am so excited to meet your furry friends! My partner Rob and I have both grown up with dogs all of our lives and we're really missing the love and affection we want to give as we can't commit to having one of our own at the moment. My family have always had dogs from I was a kid including Labradors, Golden Retrievers, and mixed breed rescues. We regularly babysit our friends Maltese (Daisy) for weekends, and any dog welcomed to our home becomes part of our wider family. Rob and I both work a mixture of office based and home hybrid Monday to Friday so are flexible in our availability for day care, drop in and boarding mid-week and weekends so get in touch. Please note that my ability to work from home is reducing so longer stays cannot be guaranteed, and I will need to review what’s possible. We kindly ask that if your dog has separation anxiety, and cannot be left alone for any period of time (even for us to go to the shops) we are unable to accept your request for sitting / boarding. We live in a decent sized apartment, with a securely fenced balcony with lots of good walking routes close by near canals, parks and quieter green spaces.

“Emily was fantastic from the moment I first got in touch! Great communication, and my cat was clearly well cared for whilst I was away. I really appreciated the regular updates with photos and videos to keep me up-to-date with how she was doing. Emily will be my first choice for a cat-sitter in future!”

Tanya L.

“I would definitely recommend Molly if you are looking for a very reliable cat sitter. She obviously loves cats and communicated brilliantly whilst I was away with updates, videos and photos. My cat seemed very happy on my return. ”

About: We have raised Carlton from puppy whilst living at a flat. He is well house trained and very good with other dogs. We have the knowledge and patience for puppies and are open to all dog personalities. Carlton is a Shetland sheep dog which are known for their barking and intelligence. We know how to deal with excessive barking and how to keep a dog mentally occupied. We are both working from home full time. One is us is self employed so has a very flexible schedule which can be helpful with collection/ drop off. We are out with Carlton around every three hours, so your dog will be sure to get exercise during their time with us! As mentioned, we have a very friendly dog who loves to play with other dogs. We have space to crate your dog if necessary (we would just need to borrow the crate). Plenty of toys for them to play with!

“Elena was able to look after my two cats at very short notice and provided great service! I was updated regularly and could see that the cats were being very well cared for whilst I was away.”

About: Hi! I'm a passionate animal lover who has grown up with both cats and dogs my entire life. Having always been surrounded by pets, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your furry family members. I recently moved from Australia to the UK, and one of the things I miss most is being around animals every day. Cat sitting and dog walking allows me to combine my love for animals with helping owners feel confident that their pets are happy, safe, and well cared for. I am comfortable caring for cats & dogs of all breeds, having owned my own cat and dog, and looked after many others over the years. My experience ranges from energetic kittens & puppies to older cats and dogs who need a little extra care and attention. I understand that animals can all have very different personalities and routines, and I enjoy taking the time to get to know each one so they feel comfortable, relaxed, and secure in my care. Whether it's long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply keeping your pet company while you're away, I'll treat them with the same love and attention I would give my own. I understand that every pet is unique, and I always aim to adapt my care to suit their individual personality, needs, and preferences. At the moment I am not working, so I have very good availability throughout the week as well as on weekends. I’m flexible with timings and happy to work around your needs, whether that’s daytime, evenings, or weekends. Pets are always treated like part of the family. I make sure they have a calm, safe, and comfortable environment where they can relax and feel at ease. I keep spaces clean, quiet, and pet-friendly, and I always follow the owner’s usual routine as closely as possible to help the pet feel secure and settled. When it comes to walks and outdoor time, I’m very lucky to have lots of green spaces and parks nearby, all within walking distance. This makes it easy to provide regular, enjoyable walks in safe, calm environments where pets can explore, play, and get plenty of exercise. If I’m caring for pets in the owner’s home, I’m always respectful of their space and routines. I follow all instructions carefully, whether that’s feeding schedules, walk times, medication, or preferred habits, and I make sure the pet feels comfortable in their familiar surroundings. Overall, my focus is always on giving each pet consistent care, attention, and affection so they feel safe, happy, and relaxed while their owner is away.

“Really happy with Valeria's service. She communicates well and our pup is always happy when we get home. He's also a crazy, teething, 5 month old large puppy so he's a handful and she manages him so well. Highly recommend.”

About: 👋🏻 Hi! I’m Kate. I'm based in Manchester (recently moved back after a 2 year gap travelling) in a dog friendly flat with my senior chihuahua, Louis. We have a large balcony and are nearby to lovely walks. 🐶 I have been professionally dog and cat sitting for over 11 years, including rescue dog volunteer experience at the Dogs Trust charity. I have extensive experience in caring for puppies, older dogs, dogs with behavioural difficulties and other animals, including cats and non-domestic farm animals. I am an animal lover and vegetarian of 14 years! 🌱 🏡 I work remotely from home, so my schedule is flexible and I'm able to provide a relaxed and comfortable experience for the animals I board. 🚶‍♀️I’ll start the morning off with a walk to the local park. I then come home and make breakfast. By this time, the dog/s I board are usually ready for a snooze, breaking up our regular short walks every 3-4 hours. I like to make sure the dogs I look after get fresh air and a chance to go to the loo regularly. Throughout the day my apartment is quiet, I have lots of soft toys and blankets for the dogs to get comfortable in. I also have an endless supply of Tripe and Dental sticks! 💛 Unfortunately I can't take dogs who are not housetrained or are extremely boisterous as my senior chihuahua is deaf and going blind so prefers more gentle / calm interactions I work remotely at home during the week, so I have time and flexibility throughout the day to go for long walks, have play time and more. I have a dog friendly home with dog beds, blankets, toys and treats. The area I live in is quite, dog friendly and has great walking routes. I also have a car so can take the dogs to larger parks and bigger walks.

“Lucy was great from start to finish. Super attentive, helpful and good at communicating. Can’t recommend her more! Thanks Lucy!”

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.

“Gabriella was fantastic, great communication throughout the booking process, meeting of Baron and throughout the visit. I would highly recommend Gabriella if you are looking for a extra love in your dogs life.”
