“Tickey loved her second stay with Georgia and Stu. We could see from their pics and videos that she was having a brilliant time, playing and enjoying lots of attention. It's clear that they care enormously for the dogs they look after. Tickey came home relaxed and happy. We are really grateful to have found such a lovely couple.”
“This was my first time away from my 6 month old Lab and I have to admit I was nervous. I had no need to be. Lin provided regular updates, photos and videos to let me know how he was doing. I would definitely use Lin again.”
“Beth and Ross made me feel at ease, as soon as I dropped Snoop off. You can tell they are absolute dog lovers, and snoop took to them instantly. I received plenty of updates and pictures whilst I was away, and they seemed upset to see him go. I will 100% use them when I next need a dog sitter.”
“Our boy has had a fantastic 2 weeks, and therefore so have we! Jamila and Martin have again looked after Winston to the highest standards. He has come home looking fantastic and happy as ever, from the regular updates we received Winston has had a ball! He has never been bored, has been taken on trips and treated to loads of activities. There has been so much thought put into caring for Winston and it feels like they have genuinely enjoyed spending time with our sometimes crazy but lovely spaniel. Thank you so much to you both x”
“Amanda is an absolutely fantastic dog boarder. I 1000% recommend her! Buzz had an amazing time and came back very happy! Amanda sent lots of photos and updates and we felt so at ease knowing he was getting the best care. It’s so difficult to find somebody to look after your precious fur baby, they are so precious, but Amanda is that perfect lady to do the job :)”
“Absolutely can't fault Karen and Trevor, they provided outstanding care for Kallie. At the meet and greet Kallie warmed to them right away, which was a major positive, as she can be wary when meetingnew people. They provided detailed updates with photos, ensuring we felt at ease, and Kallie was so obviously happy with them. I highly recommend Karen and Trevor for anyone needing a reliable and caring dog sitter. We'll definitely bring Kallie back, availability permitting, thank you so much.”
“Gigi (Jack Russell) has had a fabulous stay with Megan for a couple of nights. She's been well loved and exercised with her favourite games. Megan has provided updates on Gigi throughout her stay which I have found very reassuring. Thank you for looking after her so well. Jon”
“We would absolutely recommend Andrew and Nicky. We are bowled over with how much love and attention they have provided for our 13 year old schnauzer. He has come back in great form. Andrew and Nicky followed all our guidance and adjusted care to incorporate an older dogs requirements…we were so reassured by all they did for him ; especially during a heat wave. We will definitely be using their services again if we need them. Thanks ☺️”
“Catherine is fabulous so down to earth and could tell straight away it would be a home away from home for Reggie - I was anxious leaving him for the first time and Reggie was on antibiotic eye drops/pain relief which wasn’t a problem for Catherine! She made the whole thing easy for both me and Reggie - I think he wants me to go on holiday more! Couldn’t rate high enough - Thankyou”
“Bernard was loved and cared for like he was their own. The updates and comms were fab and we felt at ease knowing Bernard was enjoying his time as much as we were on holiday. Thanks so much!!! We will definitely be booking again.”
“Chester’s first sleepover with Alison went really well. Alison was organised with the information we’d previously discussed at our meet and greet and from Chester’s recent day care. We were hosted regularly with photos of Chester’s day and he settled really well. Pick up and drop off smooth and looking forward to his next stay. Thank you”
“Nice house, nice area, nice person, thank you so much Maryana! We got pictures and messages thoughout when looking after our 2 elderly dogs and was nice to know they were being cared for. Definitely recommended and will use again.”
“Just like to say what a great time cooper had playing with his new friends ralphie and mabel, milly and kayley treated him like their own which was so reassuring for us. We will definitely be going back the next time we go on a trip knowing what kind and compassionate people they are. Thank you so much again. See you soon Rik & Deb”
“I would highly recommend Mark with regards to looking after your fur baby mark is very friendly you can tell tell your dog would be safe with Mark Rupert was treated like he would be at home it was like home from home experience for Rupert and came back a very happy dog would like to thank Mark so much for giving Rupert the care he is used to”
“Very friendly and welcoming towards our 3 year-old Golden Labrador. He has clearly been well looked after and is the same relaxed, happy dog when we picked him up after 5 days, which is probably the best indicator of a successful stay.”
“We had such a wonderful first experience with Mary! She was incredibly communicative, sent us the most adorable photos, took Mabel on lovely walks to the park, and gave her lots of snuggles. She was also so accommodating with our drop-off and pick-up times, which we really appreciated. We felt completely at ease knowing Mabel was so happy and well cared for. Most importantly, Mabel absolutely loves her! We’ll definitely be booking with Mary again. 10/10!”
“Maggie had a wonderful weekend with Rachel and Lister, she has had plenty of long walks and Rachel kept us updated with lots of photos. Rachel asked about Maggie's routine and mirrored this in her home too, we have booked her next stay already.”
About: I am a lifelong dog lover and owner. As a child we had dogs then as an adult whilst working freelance and sometimes longer hours I would get my dog fix as a volunteer dog walker at Manchester dogs home on my days off until one day a dog called Daisy put a spell on me and chose to come home with me, 13 happy years later she left me for dog heaven and I am now hoping to spread the love through dog minding in my boutique style home with cosy comforts and walking dogs with busy parents. I work freelance so have time to spare to look after and walk your dogs and love having them to stay. I have a 9 year old son who loves dogs and plays with them and teaches them tricks. I have an open plan house with a secure, fenced garden and I can keep the patio doors open for them to come in and out as they wish. I will walk and feed them according to the schedule they have with you.

“Usually our cat doesn't like new people and hides from them but Lauren had him out and being playful. The photos she sent of him were lovely and looked like he was enjoying her company.”
“Zobia was excellent with my cat whilst I was away for a few days. Usually my cat tends not to go to other people, but Zobia managed to win her over straight away and got kisses, head bumps and some cuddles. I couldn’t have asked for a better first time experience, and I will definitely be using her services again, if needed.”
“Will is a great cat sitter, our cats are so relaxed when we come back. He communicates well and sends pictures to update. He adjusts to whatever the kitties need to be happy, which is lovely and reassuring.”
“We couldn’t be happier with the care Andrew provided for our cat, Phoebe, while we were away. From the very beginning, Andrew was professional, kind, and incredibly attentive to Phoebe’s needs. He kept us updated with photos and messages, which gave us such peace of mind knowing Phoebe was in such caring hands. When we returned, Phoebe was calm, happy, and clearly well looked after — her litter was clean, food and water were fresh, and she even seemed to have enjoyed the extra playtime and cuddles. Andrew went above and beyond, and it made all the difference. We feel so lucky to have found such a reliable and genuinely caring sitter. We highly recommend Andrew to anyone looking for someone trustworthy to care for their furry family members. Thank you again, Andrew — Phoebe can’t wait to see you next time!”
“Suraya is such a lovely person she came to meet the cats before she sat for us the first time. This is our second booking with her now and would use her time and time again!”
“Thank you so much Freya for taking care of Orca and Finn while I was away. I would definitely book Freya again. Communication was great and she was very caring to my cats.”
“Jo took the time to learn our kitty Mr G’s quirks, asked about his routine, and made a plan to keep him happy while we were away. She gave him love, attention, and sent us adorable updates. Friendly and approachable, Jo put us at ease from day one. You can’t go wrong hiring her - we’ll book again! ❤️🐾”
“Amazing time again! Updates daily which always puts the mind at ease, Gigi has had a really good time! and was able to drop her home a little late for me as my flight home was delayed”

About: Hi! I'm a university graduate based in Greater Manchester. I have experience with different domestic animals, cats, dogs, rabbits, hamsters, parrots, and even some insects. I absolutely adore every animal I've cared for and have taken pride in providing a caring and enriching experience for each one. I love learning about each animal and their behaviour to provide them with a fun and comfortable environment whilst their loved ones are away. I have previously owned rabbits, stick insects, a hamster, and I currently have an American bully puppy. If you have a large dog I only require that they are well behaved on a lead.
“Cannot recommend Charlotte more!! Zara loves her and probably the visits are the highlight of her week. Charlotte is patient and understanding of Zara’s need and keeps us updated with regular pictures throughout.”
About: Hi! I’ve always loved animals and really enjoy spending time with cats of all breeds, personalities, and temperaments. I understand that leaving your cat with someone else can be stressful, so I do everything I can to make sure both you and your cat feel comfortable and at ease. I treat every cat in my care as if they were my own and will make sure they receive plenty of attention, enrichment, playtime, and affection throughout their stay. Whether your cat is very social and playful or more independent and quiet, I’m happy to adapt to their routine and respect their space. I always assume every cat is an indoor cat unless stated otherwise, so I ensure a safe, secure indoor environment is maintained at all times. If your cat has specific outdoor access arrangements, just let me know and I’ll follow your instructions carefully. I am committed to providing a calm, loving, and comfortable environment where your cat can feel safe while you’re away. I’ll also keep you updated with regular photos and messages so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is being well looked after. With new clients, I like to arrange a meet and greet before accepting a booking request to make sure everyone is comfortable and it’s the right fit. I look forward to meeting you and your furry friend!

About: While I didn’t grow up with dogs in my house, I’ve spent years dog sitting and looking after friends’ and family’s dogs whenever they go away, including regularly caring for my cousin’s dog. Because I work for myself from home, I’m able to be around throughout the day rather than being out for hours on end, which means plenty of companionship, regular toilet breaks, walks, playtime & lots of affection.

Because I’m self employed, your dog will rarely be left alone and can slot straight into their usual routine.

About: I have experience caring for a range of pets including dogs, cats, hamsters, and rabbits, and I always make sure each one feels safe, comfortable, and well looked after. I live in a house with a secure, medium-sized fenced garden, giving pets safe outdoor access whenever they need it. I’m also just a short walk from local woodland areas, which are perfect for giving dogs proper exercise and a change of environment. I work from home, so I’m able to provide regular attention, supervision, and care throughout the day.

“We’ve sent our puppy Peaches quite a few times now to Keira and she is always extremely excited to go, and is very well cared for. I always feel like my requests are listened to and Peaches is happy and safe :)”
About: I've grown up around animals and have had pets in the house for as long as I can remember, so looking after someone else's dog or cat feels completely natural to me rather than like a job. I offer dog walking, drop-in visits for feeding, fresh water, litter trays and a bit of company, and overnight or house sitting when you're away. I work from home, which means I'm around during the day and pets in my care aren't left on their own for hours at a time. It also makes me genuinely flexible. I can take early mornings, evenings, weekends and short-notice bookings that other sitters often can't. What you can expect from me: I turn up when I say I will, I stick to your pet's normal routine rather than imposing my own, and I'll send photo updates so you can see how they're getting on. Happy to give medication, handle nervous or older animals gently, and take as long as you need over a meet-and-greet first so both you and your pet are comfortable before anything is booked. I work from home, so pet care fits into my day rather than around it. I can do early morning, midday and evening visits without rushing between them, and I'm available weekdays and weekends including short notice, the bookings people with fixed office hours have to turn down. For house sitting I stay at your place for the whole booking, so your pet keeps their normal routine, sleeps in their own bed and isn't left alone overnight. I'll agree exact visit times with you in advance and stick to them. I look after pets in your home only, I don't board animals at mine. That's deliberate: your pet never has to settle into a strange house or meet unfamiliar animals, which takes a lot of the stress out of you going away. In your home I follow your setup exactly: same feeding routine, same food, same rules about which rooms they're allowed in, doors locked and windows shut every time I leave. I'll ask you to walk me through it all at the meet-and-greet and I write it down rather than trusting my memory. Dogs go out on lead and harness unless you've told me otherwise. I treat your keys and alarm code as confidential and never share your address. You'll get a photo and a short update after every visit, so you always know what's happened. If anything concerns me, off their food, limping, just not themselves I'll tell you straight away and I'll have your vet's details to hand.
About: Hi! I’m Laura 😊 I’ve always loved dogs and have a French Bulldog called Gus, who keeps me on my toes! He’s energetic and loves his walks, so I’m very used to keeping an active dog entertained with plenty of exercise, playtime and attention. I have experience caring for dogs of different breeds and sizes, including brachycephalic breeds like French Bulldogs. I’m more than happy to follow your dog’s usual routine, training and any instructions you leave, so they feel comfortable and settled while you’re away. I have a fully enclosed garden and plenty of space for dogs to relax, play and get some fresh air. I’m also a teacher, which means I have lots of availability during school holidays, as well as some evenings and weekends. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I’ll treat your dog like one of my own. Lots of love, walks, playtime and regular photo updates guaranteed! 🐶❤️ As a teacher, I have all school holidays free, which means I can completely work around your dog’s usual routine during those times. Whether they need early morning walks, lunchtime visits or evening cuddles, I’m happy to fit around what works best for them. During term time, I’m available on evenings and weekends for walks, drop-in visits and pet care. I’ll always be upfront about my availability and will only accept bookings that I know I can give my full attention to. I have a fully enclosed private garden, giving dogs a safe outdoor space to relax and enjoy some fresh air as well as easy access for toilet breaks. My own French Bulldog, Gus, is energetic and loves his walks, so I’m very used to giving dogs plenty of exercise, attention and playtime throughout the day. For dogs staying in my home, I’d need to know they’re comfortable around other dogs. Gus is very friendly, playful and still thinks he’s a puppy! He’s also good at listening when another dog lets him know they’ve had enough. I’d always arrange a meet and greet beforehand to make sure everyone gets along and feels comfortable.
About: I have over 16 years of experience caring for my own cat, who has been a part of my life since I was young. Taking care of her through every stage of her life — from a playful kitten to a senior cat — has taught me patience, responsibility, and how to respond to the changing needs of animals as they age. In addition to my own pet, I also regularly help friends take care of their dogs when they are away. I'm familiar with feeding routines, walking schedules, and providing companionship to ensure the pets feel safe and comfortable. These experiences have deepened my understanding of animal behavior and strengthened my commitment to providing attentive and compassionate care. I am working part-time as a teaching assistant, so l have a flexible schedule that allows me to care for pets on weekdays or weekends. I can care for pets in the owner's home and stay in close contact to provide updates. I do my best to follow the owner's schedule and instructions to ensure the pet receives the best possible care.

About: Hi! I'm a 26 year old university graduate based in Greater Manchester. I have experience with different domestic animals, cats, dogs, rabbits, hamsters, parrots, and even some insects. I absolutely adore every animal I've cared for and have taken pride in providing a caring and enriching experience for each one. I love learning about each animal and their behaviour to provide them with a fun and comfortable environment whilst their loved ones are away. I have previously owned rabbits, stick insects, a hamster, and I currently have an American bully puppy who is a family pet and does not accompany me on sits. If you have a large dog I only require that they are well behaved on a lead. I’m currently quite flexible and will be focussed on caring for your pets during my time with them, including lots of play time and attention. I like to stick to your pets usual schedule so they experience the least amount of disruption possible. So just let me know what their usual day looks like. I will always look after your home, water plants, take bins out and anything else you may need whilst I’m caring for your pet. I’ll provide as many updates and photos as you’d like to reassure you that your pets are in great hands.
About: Hi my name is Martyna and I live in Greater Manchester, Rochdale. My family has a little teddy bear Pomeranian named Ruby for the last 8 years and I lover her SO much. When I was at University I would make my sister send me pictures and video updates on her. I've always loved animals and enjoy spending time with dogs and cats of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. I understand that leaving your pet with someone else can be stressful, so I do everything I can to make sure both you and your pet to feel comfortable and at ease. I treat every dog in my care as if they were my own and will make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and cuddles throughout their stay. Whether your dog loves being active or prefers a quieter environment, I'm happy to accommodate their needs and routine. I am committed to providing a safe, loving, and comfortable environment where your dog can feel at home while you're away. I will also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is being well looked after. With new clients, I like to arrange a meet and greet before accepting a booking request to make sure everyone is comfortable and it's a good fit. I look forward to meeting you and your furry friend! PROMPT RESPONSES Pet care fits well into my weekly routine as I currently have a flexible schedule. I am due to graduate from university at the end of July and am on a zero-hour contract with a real estate firm, where I am typically booked in on Tuesdays and Thursdays, with additional days depending on workload and auction schedules. Outside of this, I work from home, which gives me a lot of flexibility to provide consistent care, visits, and attention throughout the week. My routine is generally adaptable, so I can plan pet care around existing commitments to ensure I am reliable and punctual. Because of this flexibility, I am able to offer a good level of availability during weekdays and can accommodate regular routines, feeding schedules, and any specific care needs. I prioritise safety, trust, and consistency in both my own home and the owner’s home. I always follow the pet’s usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding, exercise, playtime, and any specific care instructions provided. When caring in a client’s home, I am respectful, tidy, and mindful that I am in their pet’s familiar environment. I make sure all doors, windows, and access points are secure before leaving, and I pay close attention to keeping pets safe and comfortable at all times. I take the time to understand each pet’s personality and needs, whether they are more independent or require extra attention and reassurance. I aim to create a calm and stable environment so they feel relaxed while their owner is away. Above all, I treat every pet as if they were my own and every home with care and respect, ensuring owners can feel confident and at ease throughout the booking.
About: While I didn’t grow up with dogs in my house, I’ve spent years dog sitting and looking after friends’ and family’s dogs whenever they go away, including regularly caring for my cousin’s dog. Because I work for myself from home, I’m able to be around throughout the day rather than being out for hours on end, which means plenty of companionship, regular toilet breaks, walks, playtime & lots of affection. I know every pet is different, so I’ll always follow your routine and any specific instructions to help them feel comfortable and settled. I’ll treat every dog as if they were my own and keep you updated with regular photos and messages, so you can have complete peace of mind while you’re away. I work for myself from home, so pet care fits naturally around my day rather than being squeezed into a couple of spare hours. I’m around throughout the day to provide company, regular toilet breaks, walks, feeding & playtime and I’m flexible with drop offs and collections where possible. Because I’m self employed, your dog will rarely be left alone and can slot straight into their usual routine. I provide a calm, safe & loving environment where your dog’s wellbeing always comes first. As I work from home, I can supervise them throughout the day, stick to their usual routine & give them plenty of attention. I’ll follow all your instructions carefully, including feeding, walks, medication, and any special requirements, and I’ll send regular updates and photos so you can enjoy complete peace of mind while you’re away.

About: I've grown up with dogs all my life, looking after others, having my own when I was younger and have held myself getting back from one as it just didn't fit in with my lifestyle, 2026 will be a more chill year and I just want to get my dog fix!

About: Hi, I’m Jake and am new to Rover! From my time looking after friends and families pets and homes consistently for around 2 years, I have developed an affinity for caring for animals and am now interested in branching out to care for others during my remote working schedule. As I currently don’t have a rating on here, I kindly ask that you take time to check out my testimonials 🙂 I work a hybrid job, attending the office only part of the week, the rest of my time is spent remote working, allowing me to spend all day caring for pets. When caring for pets in their own home, I make it my priority to keep your pets comfortable by maintaining their normal routine. When following feeding, exercise and care instructions from owners, I can ensure that your pets are safe and secure whilst away. During housesitting, homes are treated with respect, keeping the place clean and secure and providing regular updates.
About: I am a qualified veterinary nurse offering reliable, high-quality care for pets of all ages and temperaments, including puppies, senior animals, and those that may be anxious or reactive. I take a calm, patient approach, ensuring pets feel comfortable and secure while maintaining their routine. With my clinical background, I’m also able to recognise early signs of illness and prioritise your pet’s health, safety, and overall wellbeing at all times. Alongside my part-time role as a veterinary nurse, I have two full days and two evenings available each week for pet care. This allows me to offer reliable, consistent care with the time and flexibility to fully meet each pet’s individual needs and routine. When caring for pets in an owner’s home, I follow their established routine closely to ensure continuity and minimise stress. This includes feeding, exercise, enrichment, and any medication if required. I keep the environment calm and clean, and I monitor closely for any changes in behaviour or health, using my veterinary nursing experience to provide an added level of care and awareness
About: I have taken care of multiple breeds of dogs during my time at a doggy daycare centre for work experience in 2020. I am also currently studying a Level 2 animal care qualification at a local doggy daycare. My friends and family have become reliant on me to pet sit whilst they were out of the UK. Over the years i have owned 2 Jack Russell's and a springer spaniel and i now currently own 2 Jack Russell's and 2 budgies! I have also helped deliver 2 litters on separate occasions, one of which was my Jack's litter and the other was my siblings dachshund. Other breeds i have taken care of include: Labrador, border collie, German shorthaired pointer and dachshund! I have some experience with cats however i would preferably suit pet care for dogs. At the moment i am flexible but this will change coming towards the end of july. I am free Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays and friday however this can change and I can work mornings, afternoon and evenings. I don't offer pet sitting/boarding at my home address due to my female dogs being heavily territorial and also still living at home with family. On the other hand, i will update owners with pictures whilst they are in my care.

“Tickey loved her second stay with Georgia and Stu. We could see from their pics and videos that she was having a brilliant time, playing and enjoying lots of attention. It's clear that they care enormously for the dogs they look after. Tickey came home relaxed and happy. We are really grateful to have found such a lovely couple.”
“Beth and Ross made me feel at ease, as soon as I dropped Snoop off. You can tell they are absolute dog lovers, and snoop took to them instantly. I received plenty of updates and pictures whilst I was away, and they seemed upset to see him go. I will 100% use them when I next need a dog sitter.”
“Our boy has had a fantastic 2 weeks, and therefore so have we! Jamila and Martin have again looked after Winston to the highest standards. He has come home looking fantastic and happy as ever, from the regular updates we received Winston has had a ball! He has never been bored, has been taken on trips and treated to loads of activities. There has been so much thought put into caring for Winston and it feels like they have genuinely enjoyed spending time with our sometimes crazy but lovely spaniel. Thank you so much to you both x”
“First time leaving my Roxy while we went on our family holiday. David and Kathy kept me updated and sent photos throughout the week so I was reassured that Roxy was settled. Would definitely use again in future (if theyll have her!) Thank-you!”
“Absolutely can't fault Karen and Trevor, they provided outstanding care for Kallie. At the meet and greet Kallie warmed to them right away, which was a major positive, as she can be wary when meetingnew people. They provided detailed updates with photos, ensuring we felt at ease, and Kallie was so obviously happy with them. I highly recommend Karen and Trevor for anyone needing a reliable and caring dog sitter. We'll definitely bring Kallie back, availability permitting, thank you so much.”
“Gigi (Jack Russell) has had a fabulous stay with Megan for a couple of nights. She's been well loved and exercised with her favourite games. Megan has provided updates on Gigi throughout her stay which I have found very reassuring. Thank you for looking after her so well. Jon”
“We would absolutely recommend Andrew and Nicky. We are bowled over with how much love and attention they have provided for our 13 year old schnauzer. He has come back in great form. Andrew and Nicky followed all our guidance and adjusted care to incorporate an older dogs requirements…we were so reassured by all they did for him ; especially during a heat wave. We will definitely be using their services again if we need them. Thanks ☺️”
“Catherine is fabulous so down to earth and could tell straight away it would be a home away from home for Reggie - I was anxious leaving him for the first time and Reggie was on antibiotic eye drops/pain relief which wasn’t a problem for Catherine! She made the whole thing easy for both me and Reggie - I think he wants me to go on holiday more! Couldn’t rate high enough - Thankyou”
“Kate was fast to reply to my messages and to answer my questions, and she was kind enough to let Peppa visit before I made a booking. I was a bit apprehensive at how Peppa would settle with a new sitter given she has separation anxiety, but upon arrival it was obvious that she immediately felt at home. Kate kept me updated throughout with pics and messages letting me know how everything was going. Couldn't have asked for more. Thanks very much, Peppa can't wait to come back!”
“From the first meet and greet with Christine And RAY I knew this was the right place for Charlie. They were fabulous they spoilt him like he was their own. We got daily photos videos and updates. I could see he was very happy, this is where Charlie will be going when we go on our next holiday 100%. Thank you both so very much for taking such good care of our little boy”
“Chester’s first sleepover with Alison went really well. Alison was organised with the information we’d previously discussed at our meet and greet and from Chester’s recent day care. We were hosted regularly with photos of Chester’s day and he settled really well. Pick up and drop off smooth and looking forward to his next stay. Thank you”
“Just like to say what a great time cooper had playing with his new friends ralphie and mabel, milly and kayley treated him like their own which was so reassuring for us. We will definitely be going back the next time we go on a trip knowing what kind and compassionate people they are. Thank you so much again. See you soon Rik & Deb”
“Chelsea and her family looked after Olive really well. I got lots of photos whilst we were away and Olive seemed to settled very quickly. They were very attentive of her demanding chow chow ways. Would highly recommend and will definitely use again.”
“I would highly recommend Mark with regards to looking after your fur baby mark is very friendly you can tell tell your dog would be safe with Mark Rupert was treated like he would be at home it was like home from home experience for Rupert and came back a very happy dog would like to thank Mark so much for giving Rupert the care he is used to”
“Very friendly and welcoming towards our 3 year-old Golden Labrador. He has clearly been well looked after and is the same relaxed, happy dog when we picked him up after 5 days, which is probably the best indicator of a successful stay.”
About: I am a lifelong dog lover and owner. As a child we had dogs then as an adult whilst working freelance and sometimes longer hours I would get my dog fix as a volunteer dog walker at Manchester dogs home on my days off until one day a dog called Daisy put a spell on me and chose to come home with me, 13 happy years later she left me for dog heaven and I am now hoping to spread the love through dog minding in my boutique style home with cosy comforts and walking dogs with busy parents. I work freelance so have time to spare to look after and walk your dogs and love having them to stay. I have a 9 year old son who loves dogs and plays with them and teaches them tricks. I have an open plan house with a secure, fenced garden and I can keep the patio doors open for them to come in and out as they wish. I will walk and feed them according to the schedule they have with you.
“Keely was amazing! We contacted her at very short notice after being let down by someone else and she was amazing from the very first message. Communication throughout our puppy’s stay was good and he had a great time there! Will definitely be using again!”
About: About me: Hi! I'm Libby and I live in a semi-detached house in Manchester,I have just over 5 years of experience house sitting, boarding and walking other people's pets. Most of my experience comes from friends and family but I have now started to be recommended to others which is why I've started up my profile on Rover. I've included some pictures of our lovely garden as its fenced in and private, so doggies are free to play out there as much as they like. (we even have a doggy pool for the summer). pets can have free roam of the house and sleep wherever they feel comfortable. And of course, your furry friend will never be left alone in the house. Walking: I go on hikes and walks every weekend so i can of course bring them along, I've added a lot of walks i have done this month while pet sitting and walking to my gallery and i update them every month 😊. For those little ones or older ones who can't quite handle a large hike i have a woods right behind my house which is perfect for a little run around and explore so just let us know. Experience: I have boarded and walked all breeds from chihuahuas to Dobermans and have a little extra knowledge in elderly dogs and those who need a little extra care. I can administer oral medication as my own dog takes it daily so I have experience with this. F&Q: Meet and greets for all new clients are available if you would like to look round the house and meet us both. During summer I do not walk dogs in the daytime, they are free to sunbathe and run around in the garden as we have a doggy pool and cooling matts for them to cool off on, but all walks will be during the evening when it cools down. I do pet sit rodents also so just give me a message. I work 9-5 Mon - Fri so I only provide dog walking services on the weekend. For boarding I am available Friday - Sunday, I have no other responsibilities so I will be there all day. During a pets stay in my home, my home is their home so they are free to roam about and sleep where they want, to make sure they are as comfortable as possible. I want the weekend to feel like your furry friend gets a holiday too, so they will be spoilt with days out, treats and lots of company. I also will update you everyday with lots of photos.
