“We couldn’t have asked for a better couple to look after our dog while we were on holiday. They were absolutely amazing and went above and beyond to make sure Loki was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. She sent us lots of photos and updates every day, which really reassured us and helped us relax knowing our dog was in such good hands. We came home to a very happy and well-looked-after dog. Highly recommend Karen – we’ll definitely be booking with her again! Thank you so much ❤️”
“Buddy had a great first stay with Janet & Kevan. I was understandably nervous at leaving him for the first time but Janet sent pictures and messages to reassure me he was absolutely fine. He was walked before I collected him the next day and was not stressed at all and he is already looking forward to his next stay i'm sure!”
“Bruna looked after our puppy Luna for 11 nights. We did an initial meet and greet and straight away knew Luna would be well cared for with Bruna and her family. We received daily updates and photos whilst we were away and felt very reassured. Luna is only a young puppy and high energy but Bruna continued with our routine and training methods whilst we were away. I would definitely use Bruna again to look after our dog and would recommend her to any dog owners. X”
“Eric loved his stay. We were kept updated with messages and videos throughout his stay. Eric would usually go to kennels however, a break with a dog living family much better suits him. We wouldn’t hesitate to letting him go back. Thank you so much”
“We had a great experience and couldn’t recommend them more. They took amazing care of our dog and made him feel at home straight away. It was clear he was comfortable, relaxed, and well looked after. We also really appreciated the updates, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. When we picked him up he was happy and calm, which says everything about the care he received. Thank you so much – we will definitely book again! 🐾”
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats since I was a young child, I have had dogs all my life and started looking after other peoples pets at around 16, I have two of my own large rescue dogs that come with their own issues so I am well experienced with animals with nerves. I understand pets that are shy as I have looked after my aunties pets that struggle with anxiety and we have built a bond overtime. I have experience with slightly larger breeds such as male staffies and pit bulls as I have grown up with them since I was 7, I have also looked after puppies before (less than 1 years old, not less than a month old etc.) I am willing and capable to care of a young pup. I have looked after many cats and understand some are not as sociable, I am patient. I am no stranger to being nibbled by puppies and giving them extra play time / longer walks to tire them out, I also understand older dogs need a more relaxed approach. I have recently finished college and I have much more spare time, as such an animal enthusiast I figured this would be the perfect opportunity. I wake up early and complete daily chores around the house and feeding / walking my own pets. I also sell online so I will often be posting parcels, I am 18 with a full driving licence and my own vehicle so transport is no issue! I am available all throughout the day. I have been trusted multiple times with peoples house keys and being able to let myself in / lock up their homes to watch over their pets. Our garden is fenced off and pretty decent space wise, we also have toys at home that have never been touched as our dog is not interested, we have a large crate if necessary and other dog beds, we have a guest room that can be used for your pet. We always have treats and multiple water bowls available. The back garden is safe and we do not take the dogs on the front garden unless they are on a lead.
“Karen was lovely and approachable, you can tell she's very experienced with dogs, which was reassuring. Ellie had a great stay, we got plenty of pics and videos which was great. Thanks!”
“Our dog Betty has just had 2 weeks with Karl & his family, and she has been so well looked after. I didn’t have to worry once while we were away, she was enjoying walks and lots of cuddles, and made a friend for life in their dog Kev! She had the best time and it was like home from home for her! Thank you so much 💕”
“Fantastic experience, this was my first time leaving my fur baby with anyone outside of family, I was extremely nervous. However Angela turned out to be the best choice for Miko, she kept me up to date daily - at my request, she sent pics and video’s of Miko throughout the week with his daily walks and adventures- He had a great time and I couldn’t recommend her highly enough. 5*+”
“An amazing sitter. My dog didn't want to come home he was treated so well! It can be difficult finding a sitter who accepts larger dogs and has the suitable environment for them but Katie's house and family were perfect for my GSD Boscoe.. He'd never stayed with any other people apart from ourselves and whilst he was nervous the first few nights, Katie and her family made him feel welcome and he settled really well thanks to them and enjoyed his 17 day stay. Highly, highly recommend Katie as a sitter.”
“This is my second booking with Wai Han and another brilliant experience! I was sent regular updates, photos & videos of Porridge clearly having a brilliant time with her and I was completely relaxed on my holiday knowing he was in such good hands. She really pays attention to your pet’s needs and treats them like a part of the family. We’re both so happy to have found her and I 100% recommend! 🩷”
“Michael was brilliant, and the best care I've had for my dog yet! He and his family truly love dogs and that is reflected in the care they provided. Communication before and during the stay was brilliant and I could tell on pick up how comfortable my dog was with them. I would book again in a heartbeat!”
“Cooper absolutely loved his stay with Remy and Alan, and was treated like part of the family whilst he was there. I wouldn’t hesitate in leaving him with them again when we go on holiday, thank you for taking such good care of him and providing us with lots of updates and photos!”
“Claudia gave me lots of updates during Ruby’s stay which was great, I felt really happy & confident that Ruby was being well looked after. Ruby seemed like she’d been living her best life on my return, with access to a garden, toys (one which she stole) walks & cuddles. Would definitely use Claudia again & recommend.”
“We dropped Ellie off for an overnight stay with Anna and her partner, it was a last minute request from us and she was extremely accommodating. When we picked Ellie up it was clear that she had an amazing time with her new Aunty Anna! We received photo updates while Ellie was in her care. The care Ellie received was incredible and I would recommend Anna as a dog sitter to anyone! We have a well cared for, well exercised and happy pooch due to the great time she had! We will 1000% be using Anna again in the future, thank you so much again!”
“Alison looked after little pup for 5 nights while we had a pre Christmas break. And from the photos it looks like he had his own holiday. He had loads of cuddles, plenty of muddy walks (his favourite thing) and even some runs. Thank you very much for taking so such good care of Charlie. We will definitely be in touch again. Would 100% recommend Alison”
“Frank stayed with Michelle for the first time yesterday so it was a bit nerve wracking but she was so good with him , he had a great time. I’ll definitely be letting him stay with her again.”

“Louise was an absolute star when she was looking after my fluffy princess. Took great care of her and followed my slightly strange and obsessive instructions to the letter. She also gave me detailed daily updates along with lovely photos to keep me sane while I was away. I came back to a happy and well-cared for cat. I'll definitely be using her again. Highly recommended.”
“Excellent communication from Vickie while I was away, with updates every visit and photos of Snowflake looking happy. Came home to a very happy cat. Will definitely be booking with Vickie again, especially since Snowflake has got to know her and is mostly relaxed around her, which is huge because she’s very timid. Thanks so much for everything ❤️”
About: Hi, my name is Molly. I’m an administrative officer in the civil service, working three days from home and two days in the office. In my spare time, I love crocheting and knitting — I always have a project on the go! I’d describe myself as more introverted than extroverted, which might be why I connect so well with cats, since many of them seem to be little introverts too. Although I’ve never owned a cat myself — my mum is allergic — I’ve always had cats around me throughout my life. My grandma’s house was always full of them, whether they were her own or strays that wandered in. She cared for every single one, and growing up in that environment made me appreciate how different and special each cat can be. I’ve also had my own small pets in the past, including a hamster and a budgie, which has given me experience for how to care for these animals like cleaning their cages etc.
“Hana is a wonderful cat sitter and my little Seb loves her! She is very professional, trustworthy and I always know Seb is getting looked after and treated well 😊 we left Seb for a week in June (longest we had left him) and seeing Hana’s updates and pictures was massively reassuring for me! Thanks as always Hana 😊”
“Janet has been an absolute lifesaver for my blind beagle, Millie! From day one, she has been incredibly calming, attentive, and patient, making sure Millie feels safe and comfortable and enjoys every walk. Her reliability and genuine care give me total peace of mind, knowing Millie is in the best hands. It’s clear she truly loves what she does, and I couldn’t be more grateful to have found her. If you’re looking for a trustworthy and compassionate dog walker, Janet is the best! Highly recommend!”
About: Over the past 20 years I have had experience of taking care of dogs, I have great experience in boxer dogs spaniels of any kind ( English, sprocket or cocker spaniels). Other types of dogs I have taken care of are Rhodesian ridgebacks border collie , labradoor and much more I’m always willing to play and walks to tire your loved fur babys I am current unemployed so will have all the time in the world to take care of your fur babys I am available all day 7 days a week I have a large fenced off back garden all ready for your fur baby’s to run around in and play as much as they want and treat them the same as I’d treat my own
“Emilia was really easy to communicate with and extremely kind and pleasant to deal with. She took great care of my cat Alan while I was away. I would definitely recommend her to anyone”
“Beth has been absolutely wonderful with our ragdoll Percy while we were away over Christmas! I think he misses her already! She kept us up to date with detailed descriptions of what they got up to every day as well as sent us lots of lovely pictures. She also watered our plants and brought some parcels in. When we got home, we were met with a whole bag full of cat gifts - it was so sweet! We will definitely ask her to come back the next time we're away. We (and Percy) couldn't be happier. Thank you, Beth! xx”
About: A little bit about me my names James and I run JH dog walking and pet sitting in Bolton alongside my partner Sara (don’t worry we care for more than just dogs we love cats too!) Actually we currently have 4 lovely cats ourselves. We started JH dog walking and pet sitting because we love caring for animals and love getting out and about. When you book with us you know you’re getting 2 lovely people who treat your furry family like we would our own furry family. That means lots of fuss, love, cuddles and playtime. And so you don’t miss out on what your furry loved ones are getting up to we send you multiple pictures and videos throughout your booking with us so you can see how much fun your furry loved one’s having whilst they’re in our care.
“I couldn’t recommend Pat enough. We’d never left Olive with anyone outside my parents but as we were getting married abroad, we needed to find somewhere else for her to stay. I was nervous about sending her somewhere new but I really didn’t have to be. Pat was lovely from the get go, answering any questions I had and letting me pop round for a chat before we booked. While we were away, we had regular updates and photos which we loved! Olive looked like she was having the best time being spoiled by Pat. Thank you so much for having her Pat. Olive will definitely be back for another staycation!”
“Sharon looked after our cat Bear for six days recently for the first time. From first making contact with Sharon to the meet and greet and finally us arriving home it couldn’t have gone more smoothly. The videos and photos of Bear (some of which really made us smile when he’s under the coffee table with his paws in the air) were beyond reassuring. We could see he was a relaxed cat and even loved his head rubs. Everything clean and tidy, fish fed and a very content happy cat when we arrived home. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Sharon and thanks again. Cath & John 🐈⬛🐾”
“This was the first time I had left my cats in the care of a sitter, as well as the first time I had been gone for over a week (I was gone for 15 days), and I had just moved to the area less than 2 weeks before I took this trip, but Wai did a fantastic job, updated me with videos every day and made taking my trip less stressful, knowing my cats were being taken care of whilst I was away.”
“We'd never used a Cat sitter before but are really pleased we chose Claire to look after our fur babies. They both seemed to take to her straight away. Claire sent pics/videos on each visit too which was really nice to receive. Highly recommend”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was born. I have 2 dogs of my own and my family also do so i’ve been around them always. I am always stopping to look at peoples dogs. I am taking leave from working so I am available any time you need my help and do not require much notice. If you have any questions please let me know! I have a fenced garden and my own fur baby to keep yours company. I love playing and am happy to give my full attention to your baby just as I would to my own.
About: Hello! I'm a genuine cat lover and proud owner of Koby, my beautiful Bengal cat, who is 8 years old. Sharing my life with Koby has given me a real understanding of how unique cats can be, from their individual personalities and routines to the care and attention they need to feel happy and secure. I'm warm, calm and organised, and I provide a relaxed, caring environment where cats can feel comfortable and safe. Whether your cat is confident and playful, a little shy, or enjoying their senior years, I'll take the time to get to know them and care for them in a way that suits their needs. I also have experience administering medication and understand the patience and gentle approach that some cats require. I'm particularly comfortable caring for shy cats and older cats who may need a little extra reassurance, attention or support. Based in Bolton, I know how important it is to find someone trustworthy to care for your cat while you're away. I'll treat your cat as if they were my own and keep you updated with regular messages and photos, so you can have complete peace of mind.

About: A loving home-from-home dog-sitting home with two playful miniature dachshunds who love making new friends. Your dog will be cared for as one of our own, with plenty of love, playtime, and attention. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine. I’m currently working a small part time job following maternity leave, which means I’m home alot of the time and able to give your dog plenty of attention, care, and companionship alongside my own two dogs. Pets in my home are treated like part of the family. I have a fully fenced back garden for safe outdoor time, and two lovely miniature dachshunds who enjoy having company. We go on regular walks around the cemetery and enjoy trips to the park, with plenty of playtime, routine, and lots of cuddles included free of charge.
About: I have both had dogs since our childhood, and currently have two friendly cocker spaniels. All my dog experience has been from pups, I even acted as midwife for my next door neighbours bitch giving birth 3 years ago! My location has a large country park at the end of the street, and woodland behind me which I manage as a volunteer warden. I have a dog friendly rear garden and my cockers love drinking from the barrel water feature. I have very tolerant pets and they happily engage with other visiting dogs,and a previous neighbours cat. I have an engaging daily routine for them, so much so I'm convinced my dogs can tell the time, when their next activity is due. I am a stay at home foster-dad, and my wife works, sometimes from home. I volunteer in my local community woodlands, and other institutions throughout the day but I estimate our dogs are not at home for more than 3 hours alone. Apart from a clean and secure rear garden, my home is partitioned in such a way that a scared visitor could have seclusion if required. I do have a crate in the kitchen, and my dogs use it for privacy/ sleep ( door open). If your dog would be anxious at night, then I can keep my dogs upstairs with me or they can remain in the kitchen to keep their visitor company. Whichever works.
About: I have experience caring for pets of all ages, ensuring they are fed, exercised, and given plenty of attention. I can follow specific care instructions, provide basic grooming, and monitor for any health concerns. I prioritize creating a safe, loving environment so pets feel comfortable while their owners are away. I’ll have plenty of time to care for your pets, ensuring they get attention, exercise, and companionship. I’m available for boarding on weekends and can accommodate regular visits during the week. Whether it’s feeding, playtime, or just keeping them company, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable and loved while you’re away I prioritize safety, trust, and a comfortable environment for pets in both my home and the owner's home. I follow all care instructions, provide a secure space, and ensure pets feel relaxed and loved. Whether through supervised play, routine feeding, or maintaining a clean environment, I create a stress-free experience. I also respect the owner's home, keeping it tidy and ensuring pets are safe at all times.
About: I've always had a genuine love for animals and understand that every pet has their own personality, routine and needs. I take the time to get to know each pet so they feel safe, comfortable and cared for while you're away. Whether it's a playful puppy, an independent cat, or a senior pet who needs a little extra patience and attention, I provide calm, compassionate care tailored to them. I'm happy to stick to feeding schedules, administer basic medications if needed, provide plenty of exercise and enrichment, and most importantly, give lots of affection and reassurance. I know how important it is to trust someone with a beloved family member, so I'll always treat your pets as if they were my own. I'll also keep you updated with regular messages and photos, so you can relax knowing they're happy and well looked after. I work from home, which means I'm available throughout the day to provide plenty of attention, companionship and care. Whether your pet enjoys regular walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply having someone nearby, they'll never be left feeling lonely. My flexible schedule allows me to accommodate most routines and give pets the time and attention they deserve. Your pet's safety, comfort and happiness are my top priorities. My home is clean, tidy and smoke-free indoors, with a secure fenced garden for supervised outdoor time and play. Larger dogs are welcome to enjoy the spacious downstairs living areas and garden, although the upstairs is kept off-limits for them. I'm lucky to live close to plenty of lovely walking routes, green spaces and adventure spots, perfect for keeping dogs active and engaged. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, gentle strolls or simply relaxing at home, I'll tailor their care to suit their needs. I also share my home with one friendly indoor cat (Koby the Bengal), so it's important that visiting pets are comfortable around cats. We are open to separating them for some shorter stays. There are no breed or size preferences, but for the safety and wellbeing of everyone, I can only accept pets that are non-aggressive and well behaved in the home environment. Most importantly, your pet will receive lots of affection, attention and companionship throughout their stay, day or night, cuddles are always included!
“Rolo had such a lovely stay, Pat was so welcoming to us and Rolo, she took Rolo for a nice walk and she was sleeping contentedly when we picked her up. Right from the outset has been so communicative and helpful. Can’t speak highly enough and hope Rolo will be back again soon!”

About: I’ve had dogs since I was a teen ager. I have house trained several along the way, and have experience with older dogs as well. I am retired after 52 years in financial services. My day is comprised of trips to the gym and the markets as I am the chef of the house. Until recently this included looking after Alice, our beloved Boston Terrier who passed away a few months ago at 15. I enjoy all aspects of dog care, and have had several dogs over the years including a Chow and a Shepard/Husky cross you I’m quite comfortable with any size dog. I live in a large house with a fenced back yard. I’m a short walk from several prime dog walking areas here in Bolton, and I also drive if a chosen location for your dog is required.
“Lovely people, looked after my Evie well and she had a doggie friend to play with all day too which made it easier knowing she was distracted whilst I was at work. Received some lovely pictures of her. Thank you for looking after her well.”
“Richard was an absolutely fantastic dog sitter, and I couldn’t recommend him more highly. From the moment we met him, it was clear how genuine his love for dogs is, and that really showed in the way he cared for mine. He was incredibly attentive, making sure my dog was comfortable, well exercised, and happy at all times. I really appreciated the regular updates and photos, which gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. It was obvious that my dog felt relaxed and safe in his care. Richard went above and beyond to stick to my dog’s routine and needs, and his reliability and professionalism made the whole experience stress free. I would not hesitate to use him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter.”

About: I've had dogs my whole life big and small and have always walked and trained them. I do brain stimulating activitys like find the treat or puzzle feeders like kongs and lickmats. I live near a big park that I like to walk down and feed the ducks so depending on the dog going on walks is easily done. I have dog sat and looked after family and friends dogs since I was 14 ,some with medical problems that need daily treatment like tablets and skin cream. I have looked after a range of dogs from less active dogs and ones that need a good long walk. I would love to look after you fur baby's whether it's for an hour or a week🙂 I am currently not working so have all the time to spend with your dogs. I go on walks to get out and enjoy nature quite often. I like to go visit family aswell who only live a 20 minute walk down the road. I live in a flat so due to that I would only be able to sit 2 dogs at a time. But I have a bit of grass out the back and I also love right next to a massive country park. There are other dogs in the block but they are all friendly.
About: I adopted my first dog at 14. He's now living the life with my mom abroad, but caring for him for so many years gave me invaluable experience and a deep connection with animals. I've also had the joy of dog sitting for friends and family, always ensuring their pets felt loved, safe, and happy. While I can’t have a pet in my current living space, being a pet sitter allows me to share my love for animals by providing top-quality care for your furry family members. I work full time as a people and wellbeing advisor so I am mainly available in the mornings or afternoons. I am always free on weekends. I work from home 4 days a week so I would be free for check in visits during the day. I am currently unable to dog sit at home due to request from my landlord. Hoping I can relocate soon so that I can look after pets at home too
“Reggie had a great time with John and was really well looked after! He understood his needs! John had brilliant communication and kept us updated though out. Thank you so much for looking after Reggie!”
“My maltipoo lulu stayed with Karen for the day while we enjoyed a day out at the theatre, Karen looked after Lulu with great care and has a very nice clean and safe home she sent us regular updates on Lulu to keep us relaxed will definitely use Karen’s services again 5*”
“Rupert had a great time and was well looked after. He had his walks, ate his meals and had plenty of play time. I was updated throughout the day with photos and videos. Rupert will definitely be coming back to stay. Thank you!☺️”
“Piggy had a great time with Caitlin and Jak for doggy day care! Communication was great prior to the booking and they were accommodating to her needs. We would be more than happy to rebook in the future 💕🐾”

About: I've taken care of cats and dogs of different breeds and other animals since a young age. Neighbours, friends and close family have all asked me to take care of, feed and give attention to their animals to which I performed precisely. I am currently caring for my partner as she is heavily pregnant and am not currently working a 9-5 due to the care that she requires and as the pregnancy has caused a lot of unexpected difficulties it is safer for me to remain closer to home. I house 3 in door cats, their needs and requirements are met on a daily basis, playtime divided evenly between the 3, constant cuddles and comfort from myself and partner, constant litter tray supervision, regular biscuit bowl, water and wet food throughout the day.

About: Experienced & Reliable Dog Lover Offering Walks, Daycare & Boarding in Bolton and Birmingham 🐾 ⸻ About Me Hi, I’m Angie, a lifelong dog owner and experienced dog carer who understands just how important it is to know your dog is in safe and capable hands. I treat every dog in my care with the same attention, patience and love that I gave my own dog. Over many years of owning and caring for dogs, I’ve gained experience with a wide range of breeds, personalities and care needs. I grew up around large, energetic dogs – particularly Dalmatians – so I’m very comfortable handling bigger, more boisterous dogs who need plenty of exercise, structure and engagement. My own dog, Chapi, was a much-loved English Bulldog who sadly passed away last year. Caring for him brought so much joy to my life and gave me valuable experience in understanding dogs’ routines, health needs and individual personalities. Over the past year I have also been a regular sitter for a Bichon Frise called Woody, which gave me experience caring for a much smaller and more sensitive breed. Looking after dogs with very different temperaments – from confident, energetic larger breeds to smaller dogs who benefit from a calmer and more reassuring approach – has given me a well-rounded understanding of how to adapt my care to suit each dog. Spending time with dogs has always been an important part of my life, and I’m now looking forward to welcoming more dogs into my routine and giving them the same care, attention and companionship that I gave Chapi. ⸻ Experience & Care Through caring for my own dog as well as regularly looking after others, I have experience supporting dogs with different personalities, energy levels and care requirements. Both Chapi and Woody had more complex care needs, including medication, separation anxiety and specific routines, which means I’m comfortable with: • Administering medication when required • Following detailed feeding and care routines • Supporting older dogs or those with health considerations • Providing calm, patient care for dogs who may be nervous or shy I understand that every dog is different, and I always take the time to learn their routine and preferences so they feel comfortable and secure. ⸻ Services I Offer I currently offer: 🐾 Dog Walking 🐾 Doggy Daycare 🐾 Dog Boarding I regularly work from home, which allows me to provide plenty of attention and companionship to dogs in my care during the day. I’m also an active person, so dogs will enjoy regular walks, stimulation and time outdoors. I have my own car, which makes me reliable and flexible, and I’m also available for ad-hoc and weekend care when needed. Home Environment I live in a safe, dog-friendly home with a secure garden, and we are also very close to several lovely parks and walking routes which are perfect for regular walks and exercise. My home is currently undergoing some renovation work, so it’s not the most polished space at the moment, but it is still a calm, safe and comfortable environment for dogs. Dogs who have stayed with me – including my own dog CHAPI and the dogs I regularly care for – have always settled in very happily. What matters most to me is that dogs in my care feel secure, relaxed and well looked after, with plenty of attention, companionship and time outdoors. ⸻ Reliability & Safety Your dog’s wellbeing and safety will always be my top priority. I’m dependable, organised and respectful of both your home and your dog’s established routine. I’m always happy to follow any training guidance or instructions you provide so that your dog’s care remains consistent. ⸻ Meet & Greets I always arrange a meet and greet before accepting any booking. This is really important to me because it allows me to make sure your dog feels comfortable with me, while also giving me the opportunity to fully understand their routine, personality and any specific care requirements. It also gives you the chance to ask questions and feel confident that your dog will be happy and well looked after.
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats since I was a young child, I have had dogs all my life and started looking after other peoples pets at around 16, I have two of my own large rescue dogs that come with their own issues so I am well experienced with animals with nerves. I understand pets that are shy as I have looked after my aunties pets that struggle with anxiety and we have built a bond overtime. I have experience with slightly larger breeds such as male staffies and pit bulls as I have grown up with them since I was 7, I have also looked after puppies before (less than 1 years old, not less than a month old etc.) I am willing and capable to care of a young pup. I have looked after many cats and understand some are not as sociable, I am patient. I am no stranger to being nibbled by puppies and giving them extra play time / longer walks to tire them out, I also understand older dogs need a more relaxed approach. I have recently finished college and I have much more spare time, as such an animal enthusiast I figured this would be the perfect opportunity. I wake up early and complete daily chores around the house and feeding / walking my own pets. I also sell online so I will often be posting parcels, I am 18 with a full driving licence and my own vehicle so transport is no issue! I am available all throughout the day. I have been trusted multiple times with peoples house keys and being able to let myself in / lock up their homes to watch over their pets. Our garden is fenced off and pretty decent space wise, we also have toys at home that have never been touched as our dog is not interested, we have a large crate if necessary and other dog beds, we have a guest room that can be used for your pet. We always have treats and multiple water bowls available. The back garden is safe and we do not take the dogs on the front garden unless they are on a lead.
About: I've always had a genuine love for animals and understand that every pet has their own personality, routine and needs. I take the time to get to know each pet so they feel safe, comfortable and cared for while you're away. Whether it's a playful puppy, an independent cat, or a senior pet who needs a little extra patience and attention, I provide calm, compassionate care tailored to them. I'm happy to stick to feeding schedules, administer basic medications if needed, provide plenty of exercise and enrichment, and most importantly, give lots of affection and reassurance. I know how important it is to trust someone with a beloved family member, so I'll always treat your pets as if they were my own. I'll also keep you updated with regular messages and photos, so you can relax knowing they're happy and well looked after. I work from home, which means I'm available throughout the day to provide plenty of attention, companionship and care. Whether your pet enjoys regular walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply having someone nearby, they'll never be left feeling lonely. My flexible schedule allows me to accommodate most routines and give pets the time and attention they deserve. Your pet's safety, comfort and happiness are my top priorities. My home is clean, tidy and smoke-free indoors, with a secure fenced garden for supervised outdoor time and play. Larger dogs are welcome to enjoy the spacious downstairs living areas and garden, although the upstairs is kept off-limits for them. I'm lucky to live close to plenty of lovely walking routes, green spaces and adventure spots, perfect for keeping dogs active and engaged. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, gentle strolls or simply relaxing at home, I'll tailor their care to suit their needs. I also share my home with one friendly indoor cat (Koby the Bengal), so it's important that visiting pets are comfortable around cats. We are open to separating them for some shorter stays. There are no breed or size preferences, but for the safety and wellbeing of everyone, I can only accept pets that are non-aggressive and well behaved in the home environment. Most importantly, your pet will receive lots of affection, attention and companionship throughout their stay, day or night, cuddles are always included!
About: From walking dogs, to their hygiene, to feeding them, to playing with them and keeping them company. I find taking care animals very fulfilling because of their vulnerability I work from home, so I’m almost always available to look after your pet. This fits into my daily routine perfectly end ensures I’m able to give optima attention at all times I have a spacious high fenced yard which is always locked and so, there’s no chance of your pet escaping. I also have a balcony for fresh air
About: I’ve had dogs since I was a teen ager. I have house trained several along the way, and have experience with older dogs as well. I am retired after 52 years in financial services. My day is comprised of trips to the gym and the markets as I am the chef of the house. Until recently this included looking after Alice, our beloved Boston Terrier who passed away a few months ago at 15. I enjoy all aspects of dog care, and have had several dogs over the years including a Chow and a Shepard/Husky cross you I’m quite comfortable with any size dog. I live in a large house with a fenced back yard. I’m a short walk from several prime dog walking areas here in Bolton, and I also drive if a chosen location for your dog is required.
“Elle is a bubbly, friendly young woman who treats every dog as her own. Harry adores her and can't wait for their walks together. Elle has also taken her time to try and get Harry better on the lead with lots of treat training. I would recommend her to anybody.”
About: I have helped care for my daughters little dog for four years, since he was a puppy. I have fed, walked and helped to bathe him. I have also had 20 yrs. experience of caring for cats as used to have 2 of my own. I am experienced in giving medication to cats. Pet care would fit easily into my schedule as I am currently retired have plenty of free time and am available most days and times including weekends and most bank holidays I have a fenced garden in my own home, but whether in my own home or the pet owners home I would never let them out of my sight.
About: Hi, we’re Caitlin & Jak from Atherton, Manchester and love being outdoors with animals on our days off! Due to work commitments, we are unable to have a furry friend of our own, which is why we love to care for dogs of different ages, sizes, and temperaments during our days off! This being said, we are reliable and attentive and treat every dog like they’re our own. We’ve grown up around dogs our whole life and currently have two Weimaraners and a Cocker Spaniel in the family, so we’re comfortable with high-energy breeds, regular walks, playtime, and keeping dogs engaged but settled. We are familiar with daily walks, feeding routines, and providing lots of playtime and companionship. We also understand how important communication is, so make sure owners receive regular updates, photos, and quick responses while they’re away. What sets us apart is our calm, observant approach — we pay close attention to each pet’s behaviour so they feel safe, comfortable, and settled. We adapt to each animal’s individual needs. So if this sounds like the type of service you’re looking for to keep you and your pets happy, drop us a message! I’m a newly qualified nurse with a caring, responsible nature and a genuine love for animals and humans! On my days off, I enjoy spending as much time outdoors as possible, whether that’s going for long walks, runs, or exploring new places. I also run for a local club, so I’m very active and used to keeping up with energetic dogs who enjoy plenty of exercise and stimulation. Being active outdoors is a big part of my lifestyle, which makes dog walking and pet care something I truly enjoy. My boyfriend is also in the military, so when he’s away for periods of time I really value the companionship animals bring. I genuinely enjoy having pets around, giving them attention, company, and keeping them happy and settled while their owners are away or working. Although I live in a spacious two-bedroom apartment, I’m very close to local parks, walking trails, and plenty of green space, so dogs will still get lots of outdoor time, exercise, and stimulation. There’s also access to secure garden areas nearby for shorter walks and toilet breaks. I also drive, which means I’m flexible and able to travel to local homes to care for pets in their own familiar environment if preferred.
About: I have experience caring for pets of all ages, ensuring they are fed, exercised, and given plenty of attention. I can follow specific care instructions, provide basic grooming, and monitor for any health concerns. I prioritize creating a safe, loving environment so pets feel comfortable while their owners are away. I’ll have plenty of time to care for your pets, ensuring they get attention, exercise, and companionship. I’m available for boarding on weekends and can accommodate regular visits during the week. Whether it’s feeding, playtime, or just keeping them company, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable and loved while you’re away I prioritize safety, trust, and a comfortable environment for pets in both my home and the owner's home. I follow all care instructions, provide a secure space, and ensure pets feel relaxed and loved. Whether through supervised play, routine feeding, or maintaining a clean environment, I create a stress-free experience. I also respect the owner's home, keeping it tidy and ensuring pets are safe at all times.
About: I’ve grown up around dogs and currently help care for my family’s two dogs, including daily walks, feeding, and general care. I also have experience looking after multiple dogs at once, having stayed at my sister’s home to care for her four Pomeranians while she was away. I’m confident handling different dog personalities and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well looked after. Pet care fits really well into my routine right now as I’ve recently finished work and have a flexible schedule before starting university. I’m available throughout the week and weekends for walks, feeding, and spending quality time with pets. I’m active and reliable, so I’ll make sure each pet gets plenty of attention, exercise, and care I usually take dogs on walks with my own dogs, either around local parks or Pennington Flash, and sometimes let them run around and chill in a big garden. I make sure they get plenty of exercise, fresh air, and attention. The main thing is keeping them happy, safe, and comfortable while they’re with me.

“We couldn’t have asked for a better couple to look after our dog while we were on holiday. They were absolutely amazing and went above and beyond to make sure Loki was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. She sent us lots of photos and updates every day, which really reassured us and helped us relax knowing our dog was in such good hands. We came home to a very happy and well-looked-after dog. Highly recommend Karen – we’ll definitely be booking with her again! Thank you so much ❤️”
“Eric loved his stay. We were kept updated with messages and videos throughout his stay. Eric would usually go to kennels however, a break with a dog living family much better suits him. We wouldn’t hesitate to letting him go back. Thank you so much”

“Our dog Betty has just had 2 weeks with Karl & his family, and she has been so well looked after. I didn’t have to worry once while we were away, she was enjoying walks and lots of cuddles, and made a friend for life in their dog Kev! She had the best time and it was like home from home for her! Thank you so much 💕”
“An amazing sitter. My dog didn't want to come home he was treated so well! It can be difficult finding a sitter who accepts larger dogs and has the suitable environment for them but Katie's house and family were perfect for my GSD Boscoe.. He'd never stayed with any other people apart from ourselves and whilst he was nervous the first few nights, Katie and her family made him feel welcome and he settled really well thanks to them and enjoyed his 17 day stay. Highly, highly recommend Katie as a sitter.”
“Michael was brilliant, and the best care I've had for my dog yet! He and his family truly love dogs and that is reflected in the care they provided. Communication before and during the stay was brilliant and I could tell on pick up how comfortable my dog was with them. I would book again in a heartbeat!”
“Cooper absolutely loved his stay with Remy and Alan, and was treated like part of the family whilst he was there. I wouldn’t hesitate in leaving him with them again when we go on holiday, thank you for taking such good care of him and providing us with lots of updates and photos!”
“Claudia gave me lots of updates during Ruby’s stay which was great, I felt really happy & confident that Ruby was being well looked after. Ruby seemed like she’d been living her best life on my return, with access to a garden, toys (one which she stole) walks & cuddles. Would definitely use Claudia again & recommend.”
“We dropped Ellie off for an overnight stay with Anna and her partner, it was a last minute request from us and she was extremely accommodating. When we picked Ellie up it was clear that she had an amazing time with her new Aunty Anna! We received photo updates while Ellie was in her care. The care Ellie received was incredible and I would recommend Anna as a dog sitter to anyone! We have a well cared for, well exercised and happy pooch due to the great time she had! We will 1000% be using Anna again in the future, thank you so much again!”
“Alison looked after little pup for 5 nights while we had a pre Christmas break. And from the photos it looks like he had his own holiday. He had loads of cuddles, plenty of muddy walks (his favourite thing) and even some runs. Thank you very much for taking so such good care of Charlie. We will definitely be in touch again. Would 100% recommend Alison”
“Frank stayed with Michelle for the first time yesterday so it was a bit nerve wracking but she was so good with him , he had a great time. I’ll definitely be letting him stay with her again.”
About: I’m a lifelong dog lover with hands on experience caring for Labradors and other dogs with different personalities, energy levels and routines. I currently own a Labrador called Layla and have had Labradors in the past too, so I’m very comfortable with large breeds, energetic dogs and dogs that love plenty of exercise and attention. I’ve also volunteered with Guide Dogs, which gave me valuable experience around dog behaviour, structure, patience, consistency and handling dogs calmly in different environments. Alongside caring for my own dogs, I’ve regularly walked and boarded friends’ dogs, helping them settle into a comfortable routine away from home. I genuinely enjoy learning more about dog behaviour, enrichment, body language and building trust with each dog individually. I’m canine first aid trained, safety conscious and reliable and I’m happy caring for nervous, excitable, high energy or older dogs. I work from home, which means dogs staying with me get plenty of company, supervision, attention and care throughout the day and night. I genuinely love spending time with dogs and getting to know their personalities properly. I aim to create a calm, home from home environment where dogs feel comfortable, relaxed and part of the family. I work from home and already structure my day around caring for my own Labrador, Layla. Dogs staying with me get plenty of company, attention and supervision throughout the day and evening in a calm home environment. I’m able to provide regular toilet breaks, feeding routines, play, affection and multiple daily outings as part of a normal day rather than fitting them around a busy schedule. Boarding works especially well for me during evenings, weekends and holidays, and I’m happy to adapt to each dog’s usual routine to help them feel comfortable, relaxed and settled while staying away from home. Dogs staying in my home are cared for in a calm, safe and comfortable environment where they’re treated like part of the family. My home is clean, dog friendly and dog proofed, with a secure fenced garden for safe outdoor time, toilet breaks and play. Because I work from home, dogs get regular company, feeding, affection and multiple daily outings throughout the day. I’m happy to follow your dog’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, medication, sleeping arrangements and any specific instructions that help them feel comfortable and settled. Safety is very important to me, especially when introducing dogs or managing different personalities and energy levels. I take time to understand each dog individually, including temperament, behaviour, exercise needs and anything they may be anxious or reactive around. I’m canine first aid trained, safety conscious and experienced around larger breeds and energetic dogs. Regular photo and video updates will also be provided so you can relax knowing your dog is happy, safe and well cared for while you’re away.
“We are very happy with the care Reggie had .We received loads of photos and information on how he was getting on.Would definitely use Samantha again she was amazing.”
“I left Fudge with Jade and her lovely family for 5 nights. Had a meet and greet beforehand and Fudge and family were very happy with each other. I received messages and photos from Jade everyday and fudge looked very settled and happy. Fudge is a rescue dog so I was apprehensive about leaving him to go on holiday but I needn’t have been because I could see they he was having a ball with them. Picked him up yesterday and he was happy to see us and I could see that he was very settled in. Would have no hesitation in leaving Fudge with Jade and family and will definitely be booking him in for any other trips/holidays. Thank you so much for taking such good care of him and I will let you know when I need you again ☺️☺️☺️”
“Olivia was such a star 🌟 with Spike ♡♡♡♡ He genuinely looks like hes had the time of his life this weekend whilst I was away. Took himself for a big nap when he came home and was so content 😌 Can't thank you enough for looking after my Furbubz and giving him a fab couple of days holiday 🥰🥰🥰”
About: My mum has always had an irrational fear of dogs so have never had the honour to own one myself until I moved away from home. Growing up I have often dog sat for my godparents who have 2 beautiful miniature schnauzers and my neighbours Jack Russell. Since I was 19, I was using borrow my doggy to get experience with different dog breeds and learn the needs of each pup. I work full time primarily working from home with the odd day on site. I love spending time outdoors especially now with my cocker spaniel pup! I have a 3 bed house with a wrap around fenced garden for your pup to roam around in. I don’t allow any pets upstairs so should your pup stay overnight, they need to be okay sleeping downstairs. As I have a dog of my own, I do not take on non-neutered male dogs and they must get along well with other dogs.
“Kerry is absoluty amazing! She loves animals and took care of our Lola incredibly well. She gave her so much love and attention, and kept us updated every day with pictures. This meant that I had peace of mind that Lola was enjoying her time and I could enjoy my holiday knowing that she was in good hands. I would highly recommend Kerry as you can tell that she absolutely loves animals! Thank you!”
“Daniel and his partner were great with my senior greyhound Rhubarb. They gave us daily updates and photos of how she was getting on and she always seemed really happy and content, even though her stay was over New Year’s Eve and she can be a bit nervous with fireworks. Rhubarb was so well looked after and we picked up a very happy dog at the end of her stay, we’d definitely book with Daniel again!”
