“Richard was a great host to Treacle, looking after him as one of his own for five days at short notice whilst my partner was in hospital. He was a star, sent plenty of updates and picked Treacle up and dropped him off as I don't have a car. Thank you Richard, you made a difficult week so much easier.”
“Kwan and family looked after my dog Sue for a week. I have nothing but positive things to say and would 100% recommend, she cared and treated Sue like her own and having regular photo updates while I was away was great! ☺️ 🐶 x”
“Angela has been absolutely amazing with the whole process. Since the first contact I have felt at ease. Thank you for taking care of my little babies - they absolutely love you and will be getting in touch again very soon 😊”
“Wai Han was an amazing cat sitter for my cat, Barfee, during a very stressful time. She was incredibly lovely and professional, sent me adorable photos and videos throughout the day, and even let her own cat keep Barfee company. Her kindness and care gave me real peace of mind. I couldn’t have asked for better. Highly recommended!”
“Ruby had another wonderful stay with Karen and Trevor, she ran in as if it was her own home and was very settled when we collected her. I'm not sure she actually wanted you leave! We're so happy to have found Karen and Trevor who we know lavish so much love and care on Ruby when she stays...thankyou so much x”
“Bruna and family were so great with Cosmo! I got regular updates and videos which made me feel really reassured. He came home after such an active day a very happy chap. Highly recommend, so flexible and would 100% send Cosmo there again. 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.”
“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!”

“This is the first time we have used Claudia with no initial meet & greet due to logistical issues. However, both Benji and Maisie quickly settled, enjoying a jolly good sniff & mooch of Claudia’s secure rear garden. Claudia kept us fully updated with photos, videos and messages via the Rover App. Will definitely use Vlaudia again.”

“Louise has been fantastic with my Molley. Came round before the visits started to do an introduction and find out where her stuff is stored. Photos sent everyday whilst away and I could relax knowing everything was ok. Thanks Louise! If I need help again, I'd definitely come to you.”
“I recommend Vickie! She's a wonderful, warm woman. It was my first time using the app and I was terrified, but when I met Vickie, I felt so much better. She took such great care of my cats.

Thanks as always Hana 😊”
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.
“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!”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Exceptional Care, Beyond Expectations We are truly grateful to Bethany for the outstanding care she provided for our cats during wr absence. She did everything perfectly & treated our boys with genuine love, patience, & responsibility. What makes her truly exceptional is that despite going through very difficult circumstances herself — including severe pain in her ankle due to reflex issues that required a hospital visit — she still came back to our home after the hospital to care for our cats so that she would not let us down as she Promised us. This level of dedication, honesty, & compassion is extremely rare in this time. Bethany is an amazing & wonderful person. Our respect & appreciation for her have grown immensely. She never abandoned us, even while she was suffering in pain. She is one of the most genuine, kind-hearted, & trustworthy people we have ever met. Words like “thank you” are simply not enough to express our gratitude. She deserves the highest level of respect & trust, we Highly recommend her wholeheartedly to anyone looking for someone who truly cares — not just about cats , but about keeping doing as what she promises no matter the circumstances. Thank you once again. You are truly remarkable. God Bless you. ❤️”
About: I've just recently lost my gorgeous little Boston, winston and am missing him so much, so thought it would be an amazing opportunity to take care of and cuddle lots of other doggies until I am ready to get another. I had winston for 12 years and loved him like my child. I trained him from a puppy and then took care of him and gave him his medication and lots of care in his senior years. I was always brought up around dogs and genuinely love them more than most people. You can be guaranteed your fur babies will get a lot of love and care with me. I'm a teacher so am available at weekends or during school holidays for boarding. I can do drop ins and walks in the evenings on top of this. I dont have any children or other pets so your doggy will get my undivided attention. I treat them like children so they are very welcome on the couch and on the bed with me etc. I live near big playing fields and also have a garden.
“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”
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.
About: I have 3 cats of my own (my babies I love them), some fish and over the years my experience includes looking after friends/families pets. Most recently my boyfriend’s elderly grumpy cat with thyroid medication but he has warmed up to me now. I’m truly a cat lover as I have grown up with them so I am used to their behaviour. I will give them the patience, attention and playtime they need, as I’d want other sitters to treat my pets with the same care.
“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 🐈⬛🐾”
“Jade was my first booking for a sitter, & I couldn’t have been more pleased with her service. She kept me updated throughout, sent me some great pictures and videos whilst I was away, and her attention to detail in terms of how she left my home when I arrived back was fantastic - went above and beyond :) Will be choosing her again in future for sure! Thanks again Jade :)”

“We had a family emergency, and Patricia graciously welcomed my anxious and shy cat, Ava, into her home on very short notice. Ava settled in wonderfully, and Patricia's regular text and photo updates provided incredible peace of mind. It was clear Ava was happy and well-cared for. I wholeheartedly recommend Patricia and would happily send Ava to stay with her again!”
“I highly recommend Alex. She looked after my two indoor cats really well and they were very content when I got home. She brought extra toys and treats to play with them and even left them some toys as gifts. Alex gave regular updates and photos and left the flat spotless.”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Bolton
Prices are estimates per day for 1 dog. Pricing may vary based on your search and includes a booking fee of 11%.
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'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!
“Karen and Denzil are just the best !!! Dolly has visited for day stays and and over night stays, Karen is aways quick to answer any messages (which instantly puts my mind at rest, especially on Dolly's first visit ) And always sends update photos and small videos Denzil is just the sweetest most patient doggy companion (as dolly can be a bit giddy) and I love that Karen walks the dogs in Queen’s Park .Dolly is aways happy to see Karen So YES I highly recommend Karen and Denzil”
“Angela is amazing, she's kind caring, and nothing was too much trouble for my puppie. I will 100% be using Angela again 100% trustworthy The updates were amazing Diesel has the best time I can honestly say I know I will never need to worry about my puppie being with Angela Thank you and we will be seeing you very soon xx”
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.

I also respect the owner's home, keeping it tidy and ensuring pets are safe at all times.
“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 have a deep love for dogs of all sizes and recently gave 11 years of wonderful care to my own beloved Rottweiler. I have always had large breeds, my favourite being the Rottweiler I am confident, patient, and very experienced with large breeds, senior dog care, and maintaining daily routines. I promise to treat your pet with the exact same love, respect, and attentive care that I gave my own. I am currently taking a university gap year for the next 13 months, so my daily schedule is completely open and highly flexible. I am available for morning, afternoon, or evening dog walking. Because I don't have rigid work commitments right now, I can easily accommodate your pet's preferred routine and be there for your beloved doggy. Safety is my absolute top priority when walking your dog or visiting your home. Having personally owned a large breed dog for 11 years, I know how crucial it is to stay highly alert to our surroundings. I keep all dogs securely on their leads, avoid unknown dogs, and carefully follow any specific handling instructions you provide. I am also completely respectful of your home, ensuring it is securely locked after every single visit.
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
“Vikki was very good and caring with Mollie.Mollie was calm and happy. This her first time in daycare and it couldn't have gone better. Have no worries about using her services again. Denis”
“Teddy loves his ‘Holiday Home’! His tail sets off as soon as we pull up! Michelle is wonderful and sends lovely pup - dates with pictures throughout the day! We”d highly recommend her. 💕🐾”
“Lovely people, lovely environment. So friendly from first contact and so welcoming the moment the front door opened. Rolo clearly felt very at ease and ‘at home’ and enjoyed the drive out and walk. Very kind and caring.”
“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.”
About: About 20 years ago, our family got two miniature Schnauzers and I've been a dog lover ever since! Now that I've moved out and now live with my fiancee (Raissa, pictured) we miss having the company of dogs and before we get one of our own would like to trial having them in our lives on a more short term basis. We both work from home, so can have someone at home at all hours of the day. We have no children in the house and a secure garden. We have recent experience of looking after dogs for weeks at a time and know lots of good walks near our home too! Ideally looking for smaller hypoallergenic dogs, but would be open to other breeds. We both work full time for the same company with one office day required per week which we do on Weds and Thursday - so someone is always at home every week day. Generally we'd be able to take the dog out in the morning before work, at lunch, after work and evening if required. We have a back garden which is fenced and leads onto a quiet avenue. Generally keep dogs on lead until I can build up trust that it will come back on command. Will be cautious around other dogs without avoiding them and allowing social time when we've built up confidence. Love cuddles and playing in the house but won't allow dogs on the bed or the sofa without covers.
“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!☺️”
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.
“Lukasz & Paula are such lovely people and Lulu had a brilliant day with them. She can sometimes be wary of men at first but went straight over to Lukasz looking for cuddles, which says a lot. They were both so kind and attentive, took her on loads of walks, and she was so happy and relaxed when I picked her up. She even fell asleep while we were chatting and clearly was in no hurry to leave. I would happily leave Lulu with Lukasz & Paula again and would definitely recommend them.”

About: I’m fully available and bring over 17 years of experience caring for cats, along with a lot of hands‑on experience looking after dogs of all ages and personalities. Animals have always been a big part of my life, so I’m confident with everything from playful kittens to calm seniors who need extra support. One thing that really sets me apart is my experience caring for a senior cat with kidney disease. I handled both oral medication and injecting prescribed medicine, so I’m very comfortable following medical routines and keeping pets calm during treatment. I’m gentle, patient, and always make sure they feel safe and reassured. I also have plenty of experience keeping younger cats entertained — wand toys, chase games, enrichment activities, and all the fun little things that help them burn energy and stay happy. With dogs, I’m confident with different temperaments and energy levels, whether they’re lively and playful or prefer a slower, relaxed day. Overall, I’m friendly, reliable, and very routine‑focused. Pets settle with me quickly because I pay attention to their personality, follow their schedule closely, and make sure they feel loved, understood, and comfortable the whole time you’re away. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine because I’m fully available and completely flexible. Whether you need daytime visits, overnight house sitting, or longer stays, I can adjust to your pet’s schedule and keep everything running smoothly. I’m happy to follow your exact routine — feeding times, walks, play sessions, litter changes, medication, or quiet companionship. Because I’m available throughout the week, I can offer: - Early‑morning or late‑evening care - Full‑day companionship - Overnight stays - Consistent routines for pets who need stability Your pet gets reliable, friendly care whenever you need it, and you get peace of mind knowing I’m here and fully committed to their comfort and happiness. I create a warm, friendly atmosphere where pets feel relaxed and cared for. - Clean, calm, and safe - Routine‑focused - Lots of affection and attention - Zero stress, zero chaos
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'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: I have 3 cats of my own (my babies I love them), some fish and over the years my experience includes looking after friends/families pets. Most recently my boyfriend’s elderly cat with thyroid medication and a friend’s dog with a strict diet. I’m used to cats behaviour and will give them the patience, attention and playtime they need, as I’d want other sitters to treat my pets with the same care. As an animal lover I am open to looking after other animals, I also love dogs, rabbits and guinea pigs! I know how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I promise they’ll be cared for as if they were my own 😊🩷 Im currently in between jobs so I have full availability and can be flexible to fit around your pets routine. I also have a driving license so travelling won’t be a problem. During visits I will do the basics (cleaning litter, feeding your pet, dog walking, sweeping/cleaning the room), provide medication if needed, lots of cuddles, play and will send updates of course!
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
“Thank you so much for taking Ollie out for his first walk. I think he loved it. I felt like I could trust you from the moment I read your reviews. I know when you met Ollie you were a 'dog person' and you'd be safe hands for our pup. We look forward to more bookings in the future. Thanks again. Kim X”
About: I am fully devoted to animal care as i want to become a vet in the future so this is a stepping stone to my hopeful future success. I am currently working Monday-Friday however my shifts leave a lot of spare time for me to spend time with your lovely animals. I work: Monday 5am-2pm Tuesday 2pm-10pm Wednesday off some weeks or 10am-6pm Thursday 5am-2pm Friday 1pm-9pm I know these times won’t fit for everyone but i am happy to help where i can! I am responsible for feeding the cat and dogs and i also walk the dogs daily. I also enjoy going out with my boyfriends dog as she can walk a lot further than my dogs so we get a lovely hike out of the walks with her.
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: 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.

“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.”

“Ruby had another wonderful stay with Karen and Trevor, she ran in as if it was her own home and was very settled when we collected her. I'm not sure she actually wanted you leave! We're so happy to have found Karen and Trevor who we know lavish so much love and care on Ruby when she stays...thankyou so much x”
“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.”
“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!”

“This is the first time we have used Claudia with no initial meet & greet due to logistical issues. However, both Benji and Maisie quickly settled, enjoying a jolly good sniff & mooch of Claudia’s secure rear garden. Claudia kept us fully updated with photos, videos and messages via the Rover App. Will definitely use Vlaudia again.”

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.
“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”
“This is the first time we have left our dog so we were anxious about it but Mike was very welcoming and reassuring. He sent us daily updates with photos, our dog Hudson went on lots of long walks. We will definitely rebook.”
“We had a great experience working with Daniel. He looked after Divy for a weekend, and we faced a tricky situation with Divy which Daniel handled expertly and kept us in the loop throughout. Highly recommended!”
“Sandra looked after Storm for an evening and Storm had a great time and settled in so quickly with her and her partner. I got lots of videos and photos which helped put my mind at ease that Storm was having a great time. Storm can be unsure of new people, but Sandra agreed to a pre meet and also made sure she asked lots of questions so she knew how to best look after Strom. Storm also had a day visit with Sandra and her partner for a walk and had a great time. Thanks so much!”
“Thanks so much for looking after Shelby. We will definitely ask you both again. Shelby has enjoyed himself and got on really well with Kev the dog. He has been on lots of adventures. Thanks again Karl and family. ☺️”
