“Duke had a fab time with Rachel. She kept us updated throughout his stay. Being an older dog with health issues it is always a worry to leave him with someone new but we were out at ease from initial contact. Thank you!”
“It was Lola first stay with Jodi and she loved it. Jodi made Lola feel at home from when she arrived to when we picked her up. Lola is a high energy dog and Jodi took her to the dog paddock so she could have a good run off lead. Jodi sent us updates and photos each day while Lola was there. Would highly recommend her services.”
“Bruce had the most amazing time with Chrissie and Ol! He was so sad to come home and wasn’t even that excited to see us when we picked him up - which just shows how happy and settled he was with them. It’s such a lovely feeling knowing he was so well cared for and having the best time while we were away. The photos and updates we received were really appreciated and made us feel reassured that Bruce was happy and enjoying himself. I’m so grateful to have found such a wonderful sitter and would highly recommend Chrissie to anyone looking for someone kind, caring and trustworthy to look after their pet. Thank you again for taking such great care of our boy! 🐾 x”
About: I have grown up with pets from a young age, which has given me strong experience and confidence in caring for animals. I currently have a cat of 4 years and a dog of 1 year, so I am familiar with both daily care routines and understanding different pet needs. I am currently not working and I am at home full time, so I have plenty of time to give pets attention, care for them, and play with them. I have a garden and a friendly dog, which helps create a safe and welcoming environment for other pets. I ensure all animals are supervised, well cared for, and introduced carefully to maintain comfort and safety.
“Louie was amazing with my little Frenchie, Louie and his lovely family made Lenny part of the family, they kept to lennys sleeping pattern which made lenny more relaxed. I will definitely will be using Louie again.”
“I was sceptical about this app until I met Bettyna. She had my labrador girl Olivia for 3 days and she was sending me updates and pictures everyday. I am very happy with her services and I'm truly happy I have my peace of mind now when I need to travel. In fact booked her already for the second time💯”

Would highly recommend and thank you again, Max will definitely miss you and his new furry friend 🐾”
“Winnie had the best time with Rachel, loved the constant updates on her stay. I want to thank you so much for looking after her especially in such high temperatures. She looked like she had a lovely time and if you’ll have her I’m sure she would love to stay with you again :) ❤️”

Thank you so much.”

“We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better sitter than Emma. She popped in to our house for three days while we were away for the weekend in Prague, and after recently moving to St Helens and not knowing many people locally yet, we were a bit nervous about leaving our 10-year-old cat daughter, Sasha Fierce. Emma completely put our minds at ease from day one. She followed every instruction perfectly, took lovely photos each visit, and sent a detailed Rover card every day with little updates about how Sasha was doing. It was so reassuring to see those messages come through – you can really tell she genuinely cares about the pets she looks after. Sasha was happy, relaxed, and clearly well looked after when we got home, which says everything. Emma was reliable, thoughtful, and just overall brilliant. We’ll 100% be booking her again when we’re in Cyprus in June. Highly recommend!”
“Hayley has been a star looking after our cat Rory while we were away. As a timmid house cat I always worry leaving him but Hayley was really reassuring, really helpful and great giving us daily updates on her drop ins. Very thankful, would highly reccomend and will certainly ask Hayley for help again in the future. Thank you very much Hayley x”
“Georgia was absolutely brilliant when she came to spend some time with our dog and cat while we were away. She was very communicative, friendly and seemed to enjoy our bonkers Puggle!!!!! Thank you and we will definitely use her again. We are away again next month so if she is available we will be asking her to come again! Xxx Thank you so much!”
“We had a great experience with Darcy and found her to be reliable and trustworthy. Everything was done exactly as promised, and all of our instructions were followed carefully. We especially appreciated the detailed updates about Shelly, which gave us real peace of mind while we were away. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a caring dog sitter.”
“Natalie is brilliant and we feel reassured knowing Noodles is being looked after by someone that we (and he) is now familiar with. Second time we've booked her and will not hesitate to re-book in the future 👍 Thanks again 😻”

“Chloe was a fantastic sitter while we were away at my family's house over new year! We got regular updates and our cats really seemed to like her! She was so friendly and came and met us first, she even turned our electric back on for us! She went above and beyond when looking after our lot and was so professional the entire time! ”
About: I love cats, all ages and personalities, they seem to love me as well, and i have all the playful bites and scratches to prove it :-) Cats make their own mind up about people, and im lucky that they all seem to take a shine to me and trust is earned quickly. I love to spend time both stroking them, or playing with the more energetic ones, I get as much out it all as the cats do :-)
About: I grew up with 4 cats and 2 Labradors in my family, this sparked my compassion for animals. I adore playing, training, and most importantly making sure they have everything they need such as enough sleep, the right nutrition, enrichment and exercise! Presently, I am the owner of a Labrador puppy (and a cute elderly hamster)! She is incredibly well behaved, extremely well trained and always happy - this did not go without lots of highs and lows 😂. If you choose me to walk or look after your pet I will not disappoint. I am positive I will be able to give your dog anything it needs. I am able to handle large, strong breeds and I am also experienced with reactive dogs and how to train them. I am currently a postgraduate Student Doctor at the University of Liverpool meaning I have free time when most people are working! I am available intermittently during week days and available most weekends. I have a large fenced garden where my Labrador puppy loves to play and forage for food! She gets an amazing variety of exercise and training including tug of war, fetch, heel and recall work, and lots more enrichment. Our puppy also has specific nap times after a large meal or exercise which hugely helps dog behaviour as well as limiting any problems with digestion.
“It was my first time using Rover and I was a bit afraid to just let a stranger into my house and take care of my cat, but Andrew was amazing and my scepticism is gone. He was flexible, we scheduled a meeting and 2 more drop-ins for the keys. He followed everything I asked and even fed my fish too. He sent updates and photos after each visit too. We left for 2 weeks and arranged 7 cat-visits with him and I think my cat likes him very much and will be happy to see him again when we go on a holiday next time.”
“Couldn’t recommend Alexandra enough! Helped us out massively with last minute support and our pup couldn’t have enjoyed her company more ☺️ Amazing updates and photos, thank you so much x”
“I’m so glad I’ve found Natalie and Rover. She’s been absolutely brilliant with my cats and she really does care. I love the little school report she gives on them. I’ll be booking more regular slots in the new year. Thank you so much Natalie 🐾”
“An absolutely fantastic pet sitter! ❤️ She took wonderful care of Chestnut and Tantan, kept me updated with thoughtful messages and photos, and went above and beyond by cleaning up around the house as well. It was especially heartwarming to see Tantan become more confident and comfortable with her over the course of the visits. I had complete peace of mind while I was away and would happily book with her again. Highly recommended! 🐾”
About: I work full-time as a professional dog walker and pet sitter, and caring for animals is something I genuinely love. My experience with dogs began while I was at university, where I regularly walked retired racing greyhounds, giving me valuable experience with different temperaments, energy levels, and individual needs. I pride myself on being reliable, trustworthy, and hardworking, always going the extra mile to provide the highest standard of care for every pet. I understand how important it is for owners to feel confident that their pets are safe, happy, and well looked after while they're away. For added peace of mind, I hold an enhanced DBS check, a Pet First Aid certificate, comprehensive pet care insurance, and a Pet Sitting and Dog Walking Diploma. I am committed to providing a professional, caring, and dependable service, treating every pet as if they were my own. I currently work part-time with early finishes through the week and have both Fridays and Saturdays free to look after your fur babies. I am more than happy for you to enquire about any services not listed and I am flexible as to the care of your animals- I will try my best to fit you in as and when I can always. When visiting your pet in your home, I will always follow the rules and routines we have discussed prior to offer you peace of mind and keep your pet as relaxed and happy as possible whilst you are away. If we are on a particularly long walk or I am minding your dog for a day or more we may visit my home where I have my own dog, providing your dog gets along with others. I have a secure garden and pet care facilities.
“Rhi was wonderful with Hanhan and Charmy. The updates and photos really put my mind at ease. I came home to two very happy girls and a spotless house. Would happily book again — highly recommend! 💕”
About: I've had cats throughout my life, so I'm very comfortable caring for cats of all ages and personalities. Alongside owning cats myself, I've regularly looked after friends' and family members' cats, providing feeding, fresh water, litter tray cleaning, playtime, and plenty of affection while respecting each cat's individual needs and routine. I understand that every cat is different, and I always aim to provide a calm, caring, and stress-free experience so they feel safe and comfortable while you're away.
“Damon really cared for my two cats, making sure they were well fed and watered and keeping their bowls clean. He is a friendly guy who clearly cares deeply for animals.”
About: ’ve been around animals my whole life and currently have 4 dogs and 2 cats of my own, so caring for pets is something that comes naturally to me. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine and needs, and I always take the time to make them feel comfortable, safe and loved. What sets me apart is the genuine care and attention I give to every animal. Whether it’s a playful puppy with lots of energy, a senior pet who needs a slower pace and extra patience, or a nervous pet who needs time to build trust, I adapt my care to suit them. I provide regular updates, photos and communication so owners can feel confident that their pets are happy and well looked after. I treat every pet as if they were my own, making sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, playtime and affection while maintaining their usual routines as closely as possible. et care is already a big part of my daily routine as I have 4 dogs and 2 cats of my own. Every day involves feeding, walking, exercising, playing with and caring for them, so looking after animals is something I’m very used to. I enjoy spending time with pets and making sure they are happy, comfortable and well cared for. I plan my schedule carefully to ensure I have plenty of time to give each pet the attention they need, whether that’s walks, playtime, companionship or simply sticking to their normal routine. Because caring for animals is already part of my everyday life, fitting pet sitting into my weekly routine feels natural and enjoyable. I’ve just recently finished college so I have a completely free schedule just for your special pets xx I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable and loved, whether they are staying in my home or I am caring for them in their owner’s home. I follow each pet’s usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding times, walks, playtime, medication (if required) and any specific instructions from the owner. I provide plenty of attention, affection and exercise while making sure pets have a calm and secure environment. I understand that being away from their owners can be stressful for some animals, so I take the time to help them settle in and feel at ease. I also keep owners updated with regular messages and photos so they can see how their pet is getting on and have peace of mind while they’re away. My goal is to make every pet feel happy, safe and cared for as if they were part of my own family.

“Rachel is just amazing, she met us on one of the most awful rainy windy days to meet and walk Norman before looking after him. Rachel is just a really lovely kind person and Norman took to her straight away and loved his stay. The right amount of feedback to reassure us that Normie was fine and enjoying his stay. Thank you so much Rachel we all really appreciated your care and kindness”

“Heather was overall absolutely brilliant! We felt very safe to leave our dog with her and she sent loads of photo updates throughout the day, which we loved to see and made us feel very reassured. Heather was incredibly organised and always quick to respond to messages. She is lovely and friendly and clearly good with dogs. 100% will be booking Heather again! Thank you! 😊”

About: I love providing care for pet parents, and showing their pets as much love as I show my own. I care for my friends dogs when they're away and they have an opportunity to socialise with Bella (the toy poodle) and Oscar (the labradoodle). We'd love to open our home to other pets so they have somewhere to go when their paw parents are out at work. Bella and Oscar love being around other dogs (and people). I work flexibly and the days in which I accept referrals are on my non-working days. This is to ensure that I can provide my full attention to our guests. I have a fenced garden and friendly fur children who are there to keep your pet company when they're bored of humans. I will provide close supervision of your pet at all times, and I will not leave them unattended in the home.

I’m confident handling all breeds, sizes, and personalities — from playful Chows to gentle rescues. I have experience with basic obedience training, socialisation, and puppy routines, so your dog’s good habits will be kept consistent. Animals are genuinely my passion — I treat every pet as if they were my own, giving them the same love, patience, and attention they get at home. What sets me apart?

About: We are the proud parents of a 7 year old spaniel who we have had since he was a baby! We’re the kind of people who throw our dog an elaborate birthday party, and would love getting to hang out with (and maybe spoil a little bit) your dog too! We both work from home - Naji full time, and I have 1 office day which I can move as and when needed. Our lives revolve around dogs, whether in the house, playing or having cuddles, or out for long walks! We are flexible with routine, so if you can let us know what a normal day in your dogs life looks like we will follow that structure to help them feel as settled with us as possible. As pet parents ourselves we understand how special your pet is and would always treat them with the same love and care as we want our boy to be treated. While with us they would be another member of our family and get all the cuddles and play time they want! We have a big garden with a tall fence so your baby will be nice and safe when playing outside. We’ll send you lots of photos and updates about what your baby is getting up to.
About: Your dog will be truly spoilt here! I’ve looked after dogs all of my life and we offer a normal family home to give your dog a home from home stay. I only take one dog at a time to provide one to one care and attention, and a safe environment. We offer a loving home where your dog will settle quickly, have lots of cuddles and playtime if they like those things - there are enough of us to make sure they receive all the attention they need! I only take one dog at a time to keep things calm and safe. I’m happy with any feeding and walking patterns, and keeping owners updated with regular photos and messages for peace of mind. I’m quite selective with the dogs I take, as it’s important to me that it’s the right fit for both your dog and my family. I tend to look after small dogs but I will consider medium sized if it’s a fit both ways 😌 I can honestly say that your dog gets treated like part of the family while they’re with me 🐾 I work from home full time during the week so if your pet comes to me, I’m here all of the time! If you are local to me, I can also pop into your home during the day. Weekends, my whole family tends to be here and if we go out, your pet won’t be alone for long or we will take them with us! Your fur baby will be able to sit with me all day and they will get walks and play time between. All we need is their favourite toys and their lead & dog coat for our lovely UK rainy days (unless they hate the rain and won’t walk in it!)

“Fin and Hayley really hit it off, he had a daily walk for 3 weeks whilst his pawrents visited the other side of the world. His pawrents felt very assured of his safety and the reliability of Hayley. His Grand Pawparents felt confident that Hayley could be contacted, was responsive and would be flexible in walk times if needed. Fin will be spending more time with Hayley in the future, his pawrents are already looking for another holiday. 😁”
“Georgia is amazing with our Nova. Nova is quite loud, high energy and a big dog, so we were slightly worried that they may be too much for a dog walker, however Georgia has no issues at all and assures us that she loves taking Nova out, so she put our minds at ease. Additionally, Georgia is great when it comes to scheduling and reliability, her routine is like clockwork and it's at the point where Nova knows exactly when to expect Georgia. We've also been working with Georgia for close to a year, and I can't recall a time where she has let us down. Trustworthy and reliable, can't ask for much more, thanks Georgia!”
“Sully loved his walk today. Emma was lovely and professional. Doing a meet and greet beforehand and sending lots of pictures and updates on the day. Give you a peace of mind whilst your pooch is with someone else. Will definitely use again :)”
“Sophie had a lovely time with Alex and is already looking forward to their next walk. Alex is fab and gave us brilliant updates. I’d highly recommend her. Her and Sophie seem to love eachother 🩷❤️”
“Looked after my boy at very short nice and provided a great service. Very polite and on time. Followed instructions and provided a package I could only wish for. Great person and very much recommended.”
About: Let me introduce myself - I’m Chrissie and I absolutely love Dogs!! Due to the passing of my beloved Hugo (seen in pics) last year, I have missed the bond of having a pet and getting out in nature as much. I have looked after family dogs many times over the last decade, from springer spaniels, staffys and jack russels. I have loved each dog as if it were my own. I give them the care and affection they deserve and will give yours just as much (if not more!) Carr mill dam is literally at the end of my road, so your dog will have the luxury of the various walks available in the area. I also drive so can take well behaved dogs to other nearby places where your pet can explore its surroundings. I’m looking for well behaved dogs who are good around children as my young son is likely to join us on our walks. I am a teaching assistant by day so I can occasionally provide drop-in checks after school hours, but mainly available for long weekends and school holidays. Perfect for families who are looking for breaks away but not wanting massive expenses for kennel boarding. I have a large astro turfed garden with high fences. Dogs are allowed to roam freely around my home and garden. My home is essentially theirs and wish for them to feel as comfortable and safe as possible.

I can usually get out for walks in the morning, lunchtime and evening. I work from a desk in my dining room, that has access into my back yard. The back yard is secure with brick walls on all sides with a gate into an alley.

Presently, I am the owner of a Labrador puppy (and a cute elderly hamster)! She is incredibly well behaved, extremely well trained and always happy - this did not go without lots of highs and lows 😂. If you choose me to walk or look after your pet I will not disappoint. I am positive I will be able to give your dog anything it needs. I am able to handle large, strong breeds and I am also experienced with reactive dogs and how to train them. I am currently a postgraduate Student Doctor at the University of Liverpool meaning I have free time when most people are working! I am available intermittently during week days and available most weekends. I have a large fenced garden where my Labrador puppy loves to play and forage for food! She gets an amazing variety of exercise and training including tug of war, fetch, heel and recall work, and lots more enrichment. Our puppy also has specific nap times after a large meal or exercise which hugely helps dog behaviour as well as limiting any problems with digestion.
About: Hi, I’m Michael! I’ve grown up around dogs and cats my whole life, so I know exactly how much they mean to a family. To me, they aren’t just pets, they’re our best friends. I started Tail Waggin' Adventures because I wanted to give local dogs a chance to get out, explore, and have a bit of fun while their owners are busy. What our walks are like: I don’t believe a walk should just be a quick trip around the block. I like to make sure your dog actually has a great time. - If your dog loves a fast-paced hike, we’ll do that. If they’re older and just want to spend 30 minutes sniffing every single tree, that’s fine too! I follow their lead. - I’m always on the lookout for busy roads or other dogs to make sure everything stays stress-free. I’ll always stick to your specific rules and whatever temperament your dog has. - I want to be someone your dog is actually excited to see. I use lots of praise and treats (if allowed!) to make sure we become the best of friends. Check ins: If your pet prefers staying at home, I can pop in to help. I'll refresh their food and water, clean litter trays, and make sure they get some garden time and plenty of attention. I always keep a close eye on their behavior and appetite, and I’ll send you a quick update and some photos after every visit so you can relax. I’m fully insured and DBS checked, so you know your home and your pets are in safe hands. I always suggest a free meet and greet first to make sure I’m the right fit for your pet. Just send me a message and we’ll get it booked in! I work part time in my day job, which is quite flexible. This means I can usually shift things around to suit your schedule. While I'm wide open on weekends, I can often make mid-week or evening sessions work too. Every week can be a little different, so it’s always worth sending me a message, I’m happy to chat and see how I can fit into your pet's routine! I understand how important your home is, and I promise to treat it with the same care and respect I give to your pet. You'll always find your space left exactly as it was, providing you with complete peace of mind.
About: I am a Primary School Teacher in the day, but happy to look after your furry loved ones for long weekends or during school holidays. I have a high-energy Hungarian boy Vizsla myself so we enjoy long walks and cuddles on the couch. I’d be happy to look after your dog and send lots of videos and photos! I currently work full-time as a teacher, with the odd day off in the middle of the week. I am available for weekend work and boarding over school holidays! I have a detached property with a fenced garden area. I also live near parks and fields for fun with a ball, or two! We have lots of space for the dogs to run, play and snuggle!
“Amazing service! I contacted Erin asking her to walk my dog last minute and she came straight away. She is very friendly, polite and trustworthy. My dog was so comfortable and settled around her x”
About: Hi, I’m Faye from Newton-le-Willows. I’ve grown up with dogs and had dogs into my adult life. I have experience with puppies, small & medium sized dogs. I have a 2 year old Shih Tzu who I’ve had since 10 weeks old, so the puppy phase has been completed 😅 I have house sat for friends dogs during the day and also stayed overnight for longer periods. I have administered medication when required. I work from home 5 days a week but I do have an office day on a Thursday every so often. I am flexible throughout the day in being able to walk your fur babies. I would also be available most weekends too. I have a fenced garden for my dog with no chance of escaping. I allow him the full run of the house at all times
About: I've been around animals my whole life and have experience caring for both dogs and cats. I currently own two dogs, including a 25kg Goldendoodle, and caring for them has given me hands-on experience with dogs of different sizes, ages, and personalities. I have experience with puppies, senior dogs, and senior dogs with medical needs, as well as administering medication, feeding, walking, and providing plenty of love and attention. My own dogs are reactive, so I'm currently working with Dog Pawfection on ongoing training. This has given me valuable experience in handling reactive, nervous, and aggressive dogs safely, including lead handling, crate training, and managing challenging situations calmly while out on walks. Alongside caring for my own pets, I've regularly looked after friends' and family's dogs over the years, so I'm confident adapting to each dog's individual routine and needs. I'm also planning to complete a canine first aid course to continue developing my knowledge and provide owners with even greater peace of mind. I work as a dental nurse during the week, so I'm available after work and on weekends. I genuinely love spending time with animals, and I treat every dog in my care as if they were my own. My goal is always to make them feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you're away. I currently work full-time as a dental nurse, which means I'm available for pet care on evenings and weekends. Pet sitting is something I'm truly passionate about, and I'm excited to grow my client base while providing reliable, loving care to every pet I meet. My long-term goal is to gradually reduce my dental nursing hours and dedicate more of my time to caring for animals. Whether I'm looking after your pet for an evening, a weekend, or regular visits, you can count on me to treat them with the same care, patience, and attention that I give my own. When caring for your pet in your home, my priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while keeping to their usual routine. I'll provide plenty of love, attention, playtime, walks, feeding, fresh water, and, of course, lots of cuddles if they enjoy them! I have experience with crate training, lead training, and reinforcing basic training around the home, so if you'd like me to continue practising simple commands and good habits while you're away, I'd be more than happy to help. I also have experience caring for reactive, nervous, and senior dogs, so I'm confident adapting my approach to suit each pet's individual needs. For cats, I'm equally happy to spend time playing, giving them affection on their terms, keeping litter trays clean, feeding them, and ensuring they have everything they need to feel relaxed and settled. Every pet is unique, so I'll always follow your instructions carefully and tailor my care to their routine, personality, and any specific requirements. I treat every pet as if they were my own, so you can have peace of mind knowing they'll be cared for with patience, kindness, and plenty of attention while you're away.

“Duke had a fab time with Rachel. She kept us updated throughout his stay. Being an older dog with health issues it is always a worry to leave him with someone new but we were out at ease from initial contact. Thank you!”
“Bruce had the most amazing time with Chrissie and Ol! He was so sad to come home and wasn’t even that excited to see us when we picked him up - which just shows how happy and settled he was with them. It’s such a lovely feeling knowing he was so well cared for and having the best time while we were away. The photos and updates we received were really appreciated and made us feel reassured that Bruce was happy and enjoying himself. I’m so grateful to have found such a wonderful sitter and would highly recommend Chrissie to anyone looking for someone kind, caring and trustworthy to look after their pet. Thank you again for taking such great care of our boy! 🐾 x”

“We couldn't have been happier! This was the first time leaving Pablo and we were quite apprehensive. However Nick and Kerry were fantastic! We couldn't have asked for more! We have already looked in to booking for our next trip and we're gutted to see that Nick doesn't have the availability we needed but we will definitely be in touch for future sitting needs. Thank you so much.”

“Antony was responsive, reliable and easy to communicate with throughout. He was very accommodating to our schedule and my girls needs, which made the whole (first ever) experience of leaving my girl, stress free. I felt confident my dog was in great hands and would happily, and highly, recommend him. Our girl is rarely excluded from family adventures; this occasion was an unforseen need, however, should the need ever present itself again, I would not hesitate to reach out to Anthony in confidence my girl would be in very safe hands.”
