“Rachel was great with Delphi. Giving her the perfect balance of activity and snuggles. Kept us updated regularly with pics and vids. We felt at ease leaving Delphi with Rachel and was a massive relief to know Delphi was being well looked after whilst we moved house! Thanks Rachel:)”
“Ziggy had a wonderful time with Christine and her lovely son. He settled quickly and loved having a little buddy to play with. I received updates, photos and videos on him enjoying walks and playing fetch in the garden. He was extremely relaxed and happy when I picked him up, and I hope he can stay again.”
About: Dog owner of 15 years of a rescue border collie. Experience with nervous behaviour. Veterinary physiotherapist with specialist interest in canine physio. Training in dog psychology. Love dogs! I currently work part time. Although my schedule can change week to week I will be clear about my availability and 100% reliable when bookings are confirmed. I have no dogs or children in my home, so your dog gets my full attention. We have a small fenced garden but we benefit from miles of walks on Sankey Valley and numerous local fields and parks to play on.
“Claire was absolutely brilliant with our dog Pancake. With lots of updates and photographs of what he had been up to. She is Really nice and makes you feel very comfortable leaving him. I would highly recommend her. We actually think Pancake has the holiday blues leaving her. Thank you”
“We really couldn’t have asked for a better person to have looked after our Mabel. She was happy and content during the whole visit. Francis kept us updated daily with messages and videos which meant a lot to us. Cannot recommend Francis enough. We will definitely be using him again.”
“Bruna looked after our puppy Luna for 11 nights. We did an initial meet and greet and straight away knew Luna would be well cared for with Bruna and her family. We received daily updates and photos whilst we were away and felt very reassured. Luna is only a young puppy and high energy but Bruna continued with our routine and training methods whilst we were away. I would definitely use Bruna again to look after our dog and would recommend her to any dog owners. X”
“Emily was beyond amazing with looking after topaz. Topaz was able to settle almost immediately, and I know for a fact that she was well taken care of. I was updated regularly. Would highly recommend her for looking after your fur baby.”
“We really have found our retreat for Bishop when we go away. I was so worried about leaving Bishop with any one, due to his reactivity with other dogs and the size and energy of him but Louie reassured me as he has many years experience with big breeds and reactive behaviours. I took Bishop for a meet and knew within a minute Louie and his family would manage Bishop and that his needs would be met. We got updates and pictures whilst we were away which reassured me even more. Picking up Bishop was actually quite emotional although I could see he had missed me, the connection and love he clearly had for Louie and his family was clear to see, he had been so well looked after and was part of the family. I really couldn’t ask for more, I would not want anyone else to look after Bishop in the future and look forward to booking again. Can’t thank Louie and his family enough”
“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 :) ❤️”
“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💯”
“We’re do I begin? Honestly from the first message I sent Michelle, her, Paul & the girls have been amazing. Made me feel so comfortable leaving my baby in her capable hands. She listened to everything my dog needed from personal care, medication, etc. nothing was too much trouble for them. Got sent constant updates, photos& videos of her looking so happy in her new home. They have been fantastic & wouldn’t go to anybody else now. My only problem was when we picked Winnie up, Winnie looked so sad to leave & wanted to stay 🤣🤣when we got home we could tell she was missing them especially the girls & the fun they had with her, they gave her a little teddy which she has constantly walked around the house with for the last 2 days she will not part eith it. Thank u all so much for the best care I could ever have asked for with my baby Winnie xx”
“Cannot thank Rover and Alba enough this was my first time leaving Pixie so I was very stressed. Alba kept me informed with lots of photies and updates. When I collected pixie she wasn’t that excited to see me I think she would have liked to have stayed. I would not hesitate to recommend Alba and if I should need to leave pixie again it will certainly be with Alba Thank you so much”
“Ian and his whole family are wonderful sitters. They welcomed Assia into their home and looked after her as if she was their own. Thank you for making sure she had a lovely holiday too 😊 🐕”
“Our dog had a lovely stay with Lauren and family and we could relax knowing that he was in a great home environment. He bonded with Lauren's dog and it was great knowing that we were leaving him with someone who clearly loves dogs! We got lots of photo and video updates which showed him having a great holiday! Thank you for taking such good care of him!”
“Christine helped us out massively when we were let down last minute. Ralph really enjoyed his weekend away at Christine’s house. We got regular updates and photos our little fur baby having fun with other doggos. We will definitely rebook again.”
“Couldn’t be happier with Wesley and how he cares for Bryn whenever I’m away. Bryn absolutely loves him, I can clearly see how happy he gets every time he sees Welsey; this only means that he’s taken good care of him. Would definitely contact him again!!”

“Abby looked after our dog so well. It was a last minute booking and she stepped up just in time for our trip. She made the effort to come out before the trip at short notice to meet our dog. Lady is energetic and needs lots of walks to tire her out and she came back really tired and content. Will use again”

“When I first met Kinga I knew tinkerbell would be in good hands and safe. Kinga has been so good with my 17 year old cat while I was away on holiday and very caring and kind and put my mind at ease too knowing that Tinkerbell was safe with Kinga. Also Kinga kept everything clean and tidy and gave tinkerbell lots of cuddles and attention and she sent me pictures to let me know how she was doing which made me happy. Kinga is a such a lovely caring person and I will definitely use her again if I go away again. Thankyou Kinga so much it meant a lot to me you looking after Tinkerbell x”
“Natalie stepped in last minute to look after our 3 cats when we were let down by our regular sitter. Fast to respond and very reliable. Even the timid one seemed to take to Natalie on her initial visit. We came home to a lovely clean area and happy cats! Thank you Natalie x”
“Emma is a really lovely person. She really shows professionalism and also love for the animals. My cats loved her (one of them was a little timid, but she is with everyone new - she did warm up after the 2nd visit!) Emma kept us updated on our cats: sending us some texts/photos and videos after every visits she made. She did not hesitate to pop back in to double check on our cats (who have a tendency in closing doors). She was really great and caring! Would 100% recommend her!”
“ Many thanks to Marco for taking great care of my four cats. Marco was attentive, especially with giving daily medication to one cat, which allowed me to travel with peace of mind. Although cleaning supplies were provided, Marco brought personal cloths, wet wipes, and trash bags. Very reliable — would book again.”
“Absolutely fantastic care from Natalie, she came every day for one week to feed and check on my 3 cats. I received full updates and images/video each day. Will definitely use again x”
“It's ok they do make mess at times, Teddy had a few markies this morning as I did try and feed them . But, Donald nicked his food, we have been to the vets about his behaviour again and waiting for a specialist. He has gone back to bulling and nicking teddy's food, so we are concerned. And, have been told to separate them when feeding but Ted won't eat when we do that, so we are in a no win situation. Just give him treats if he doesn't eat, if it persists we may have to consider rehousing Donald. Great job,thanks for doing your best.”
“Andrew looked after my cat for 5 days and was absolutely great. My cat is a nervous old boy and he took the time to get his trust and Tommy loved him by the end. He really looked after Tommy and sent me regular photos and updates of how much he'd eaten and what he had been up to. I would definitely book him again!”
“I’m really happy with the care Rhi provided for my two cats. I was a bit anxious about leaving them with someone new, but they bonded to her immediately. She even brought a new scratcher and placed it where they’d been trying to claw the carpet—such a thoughtful and effective touch. Rhi is kind, friendly, and easy to communicate with. I’d highly recommend her as a fantastic cat sitter—thank you so much! xxx”
“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.”

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.
About: What sets me apart is my ability to adapt to each pet’s individual needs. I have experience with both young and senior pets, so I’m comfortable reinforcing basic training and routines for puppies, as well as providing gentle, attentive care for older animals, including administering medication if needed. I’m patient, reliable, and always focused on making pets feel safe and comfortable. I also keep owners updated with regular messages and photos, so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands. I work night shifts at the hospital as a Health Care Assistant, so I am used to being responsible, reliable, and caring. Pet care fits well into my routine because I am available around my shifts, especially during the day, on some evenings, and on my days off. I have cared for cats most of my life and currently have two kittens myself, so looking after animals is already part of my daily life. I always make sure pets feel safe, calm, and comfortable. I follow the owner’s instructions carefully, including feeding times, litter trays, walks, medication if needed, and house rules. In a pet owner’s home, I respect their space and keep everything clean and secure. I give pets gentle attention, patience, and care, especially if they are shy or nervous.
“Absolutely amazing caring couple, Nancy settled straight in with Wesley, she got on so well with pearl and silva, I couldn't have asked for better caring people to watch her for us. Would definitely recommend and you won't regret it. Thanks again.”
About: I have looked after a wide range of animals for family and friends for most of my life. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and find it incredibly rewarding to care for them and ensure they are happy, safe, and well looked after. I have a friendly, well-socialised dog who loves to play and spend time with other dogs. He also enjoys being around cats, although they don't always share his enthusiasm! I I recently resigned from a high-pressure role to focus on improving my work-life balance and overall well-being. I believe there is no better way to do that than by spending time caring for animals, especially dogs. I genuinely enjoy being around them and find working with animals both rewarding and fulfilling. I have a secure, fenced garden where dogs can safely play and relax. I also have a friendly little dog who enjoys the company of other dogs and is well-socialised. In addition, I live close to several recreation parks and woodland areas, providing plenty of opportunities for enjoyable walks, exercise, and outdoor exploration.
“Benji had the best time with Marena and Chelita. He was taken on many walks, played with Chelita’s toys, had naps, even stole some of Chelitas food haha. Thank you for looking after him ❤️”
About: My whole life I’ve been caring for dogs and pets of all kinds, I’ve worked with everything from energetic puppies to calm senior dogs. 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? I take the time to learn each dog’s personality, quirks, and comfort zone. Whether it’s a shy pup needing slow introductions or a high-energy dog who loves long walks and playtime, I tailor every visit to what they need most. Pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine — I’m flexible, always available, and happy to take last-minute requests! Morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening cuddles — you name it, I can fit it in. I love keeping dogs active and happy throughout the day, and my schedule allows me to give them my full attention whenever you need me. Your dog’s safety and comfort always come first. I’ll be caring for your pet in your home, following your normal routines to keep things familiar and stress-free.

About: From a young age I have worked at an animal sanctuary which rescued and re-homed a variety of abandoned animals from rabbits, guinea pigs, cats dogs and even farm animals ☺️ I wish I could have continued to do this into my adult years. Over the years I have had pets of my own and regularly look after my daughter dog and even take her away on short breaks with us. I enjoy long walks and always find myself jealous when people walk by with their pets as I walk alone. My mum is an Area Manager for Guide Dogs, before that she started her own dog training business which she ran evening classes which I would attend with her, so I have training experience. I currently work part time at home. I like to go for at least 2 walks a day which would be much more enjoyable with a dog to accompany me. There are no children at our home through the week, my partners daughter is here at the weekends she is 8 and also adores dogs, she practically begged me to sign up to Rover ☺️ We have a large fenced back garden which overlooks a local park with plenty of land for walking pets on short walks. We are also 1 minute walk away from farmers fields which is perfect for longer walks If you prefer for me to come and sit at your property with your pet this can also be arranged. I am also available to have your pet stay over on a weekend provided they are friendly and safe to be around children, we have children here alternative weekends, so if you have booked a weekend away or last minute been asked to work away and it falls on the weekend the child is not here if your dog is a little nervous around children then we would be more that happy to accommodate your pet ☺️ I care for pets as if they are my own. Pets will always be kept on a lead whilst out on a walk with me even after the trust has been built to ensure safety at all times. Please make me aware at the time of booking if your dog is not good with other dogs, children or any other areas of concern so that I can make sure you pet always feels safe and happy in my care. I have worked as housekeeper and nanny previously, for a home with 2 dogs. I had a key to the property, looked after their 4 children and 2 dogs. I am honest and trustworthy so if you are planning for me to come to your home when you are at work to let your pet out or take them for a walk I am more than happy to do so. If you would prefer for your pet to come to my home for the day so they can be fussed and walked and have some company while your at work, we have a bungalow so they have the run of the house and our fully fenced back garden which backs onto a park and the farmers fields are 1 minute walk away, so our location and property is ideal for pets.

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.
“It was my first time using Ang for a meet-and-greet for Alice ahead of her boarding stay, and I couldn’t have been happier with the experience. Alice was so settled and happy, which gave me great confidence that she was in the best hands. Ang was warm, welcoming, and clearly has a genuine love for dogs. I’m really pleased we found her and would happily recommend her doggy day care and boarding service to others.”
“Lynsey was brilliant. Really flexible to our needs. Jessie was initially nervous at a new person and place, but by the next visit she was going straight to Lynsey's front door and desperate to go in. We will happily leave Jessie with Lynsey again.”

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.

I have a friendly, well-socialised dog who loves to play and spend time with other dogs. He also enjoys being around cats, although they don't always share his enthusiasm! I I recently resigned from a high-pressure role to focus on improving my work-life balance and overall well-being. I believe there is no better way to do that than by spending time caring for animals, especially dogs. I genuinely enjoy being around them and find working with animals both rewarding and fulfilling. I have a secure, fenced garden where dogs can safely play and relax. I also have a friendly little dog who enjoys the company of other dogs and is well-socialised. In addition, I live close to several recreation parks and woodland areas, providing plenty of opportunities for enjoyable walks, exercise, and outdoor exploration.

About: I lost my dog to old age in December 24, he was a 15 year old Patterdale that had been with me since May 2011. So I've cared for both young and elderly dogs. I also care for the dogs of family when they go away. I live alone and mostly work from home. I have a secure back garden and have a choice of parks nearby for walking. 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.
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.

Downstairs is kitchen and living room and that is area for your dog.
“Alex is fabulous, she’s great at picking up on what Sophie wants and needs and adjusting to that rather than just sticking to the plan. I love that she’s so adaptable and I know that Sophie is in good hands.”
About: I have experience caring for dogs with anxiety and special needs, ensuring they feel safe and comfortable while you're away. I understand that anxious dogs require patience, structure, and a calm presence, and I tailor my approach to their unique needs. ✔️ Experienced with Anxious Dogs: I recognize signs of stress and use positive reinforcement, soothing techniques, and familiar routines to help ease their anxiety. ✔️ Slow & Gentle Approach: I let nervous dogs set the pace, avoiding forced interactions and creating a space where they feel secure. ✔️ Maintaining Their Routine: I stick to their usual feeding, exercise, and comfort rituals to minimize stress. ✔️ Calming Techniques: I use soft tones, gentle movements, and enrichment activities to keep their minds engaged and relaxed. ✔️ Regular Updates: I provide frequent check-ins, photos, and videos so you can see how they’re doing. I know how important it is to leave your dog with someone who understands their needs. I’d love to provide them with the care and comfort they deserve! As a self-employed personal trainer, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate quality time to pet care. Since I set my own hours, I can plan my training sessions around pet visits, ensuring that your pet gets the attention they need without feeling rushed. ✔️ Flexible Availability: I can accommodate morning, midday, and evening visits, as well as overnight stays if needed. ✔️ Active Lifestyle: As a fitness professional, I love staying active, which means plenty of walks, playtime, and exercise for high-energy dogs. ✔️ Balanced Schedule: My work allows for breaks between training sessions, so I can check in on pets throughout the day. ✔️ Reliable & Consistent: I prioritize maintaining a steady routine, which is especially important for anxious pets or those needing extra care. Pet care fits seamlessly into my lifestyle, and I truly enjoy spending time with animals. Whether it’s a long walk, a cuddle session, or just keeping them company, I make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. In my home, pets are treated like family—they have full access to cozy spaces, including sofas and beds, because I believe they should feel as comfortable as possible while away from home. Whether they love to cuddle or need their own space, I make sure they feel safe, relaxed, and loved. ✔️ Spacious & Comfortable Environment: My home has a big enough living room where pets can lounge, play, or nap without feeling cramped. ✔️ Secure Outdoor Space: I have a fenced garden, providing a safe area for pets to run, explore, and enjoy fresh air under supervision. ✔️ Home Comforts: Pets are welcome on the furniture and can sleep in the bed if they choose, just like they would at home. ✔️ Plenty of Attention: Whether it’s belly rubs, playtime, or peaceful naps, I ensure they get the love and care they’re used to. ✔️ Exercise & Enrichment: Daily walks, interactive toys, and fun activities keep them happy and engaged. ✔️ Routine & Familiarity: I maintain their feeding and potty schedule to minimize stress. When caring for pets in their own home, I respect their routine and provide a calm, familiar presence while you’re away. I ensure they stick to their usual schedule, feel safe in their space, and get plenty of love and companionship. No matter where they stay, I make sure every pet feels at home!
About: This summer, I completed two house sits in the UK, one for 3 weeks and another for 5 weeks, caring for dogs throughout their stay. I also have experience dog walking for people during my time in the US.i Additionally I grew up with a Great Pyrenees as well as smaller dogs, so I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes and breeds. Currently, I only work evenings, and I have the flexibility to choose my own hours. I also run an online startup and do food deliveries by bike around lunchtime. Because of this, I’m hoping to do most of my pet care in the mornings. However, both of my other occupations are very flexible, so I can easily work around anyone’s needs and schedule! I think it’s really important to understand each dog’s individual routine, personality and personal space, especially when caring for them in their own home. I always take the time to understand their usual schedule, including walks, meals, playtime and rest. I’ll make sure they receive plenty of attention, affection and care, while also respecting their space when they need some quiet time. Most importantly, I want every dog to feel safe, comfortable and completely at ease while their owner is away.
About: What sets me apart is my ability to adapt to each pet’s individual needs. I have experience with both young and senior pets, so I’m comfortable reinforcing basic training and routines for puppies, as well as providing gentle, attentive care for older animals, including administering medication if needed. I’m patient, reliable, and always focused on making pets feel safe and comfortable. I also keep owners updated with regular messages and photos, so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands. I work night shifts at the hospital as a Health Care Assistant, so I am used to being responsible, reliable, and caring. Pet care fits well into my routine because I am available around my shifts, especially during the day, on some evenings, and on my days off. I have cared for cats most of my life and currently have two kittens myself, so looking after animals is already part of my daily life. I always make sure pets feel safe, calm, and comfortable. I follow the owner’s instructions carefully, including feeding times, litter trays, walks, medication if needed, and house rules. In a pet owner’s home, I respect their space and keep everything clean and secure. I give pets gentle attention, patience, and care, especially if they are shy or nervous.
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.
About: I've had numerous pets since before I could remember my mum has a habit of taking in strays. From dogs to rabbits, guinea pigs, lizards, snakes,ferrets,fish, mice and even our 98 year old tortoise. I'm pretty good at training puppies and I can do senior care as we had our rottweiler til she was 14 and I helped out loads. I am very nurturing as I have been a carer for my mum and sister and for my nan as well before she passed. Currently I have a lurcher called Jeff and two kittens Dante and Damien. As well as a tegu called friyja and a snake called neala and of course the 98 yr old tortoise chigley. I understand when booking a housesitting some people want you to stay overnight but I would prefer to discuss that before a booking is confirmed. This is something that can be talked about at the meet and greet. I will also be providing a pet plan care guide to fill in at the meet and greet. I am a carer for my mum but happy to pet sit as long as I can keep in contact with my mum and make sure she's okay. I have a pretty flexible schedule but would appreciate notice of changes. I will always keep an eye on your pet making sure they have food and water and are let out to go to the bathroom enough and also make sure they have a bit of playtime as well and if you have your pets on walking schedules I will assist with that as well.
“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!”

“Rachel was great with Delphi. Giving her the perfect balance of activity and snuggles. Kept us updated regularly with pics and vids. We felt at ease leaving Delphi with Rachel and was a massive relief to know Delphi was being well looked after whilst we moved house! Thanks Rachel:)”
“Ziggy had a wonderful time with Christine and her lovely son. He settled quickly and loved having a little buddy to play with. I received updates, photos and videos on him enjoying walks and playing fetch in the garden. He was extremely relaxed and happy when I picked him up, and I hope he can stay again.”
About: Dog owner of 15 years of a rescue border collie. Experience with nervous behaviour. Veterinary physiotherapist with specialist interest in canine physio. Training in dog psychology. Love dogs! I currently work part time. Although my schedule can change week to week I will be clear about my availability and 100% reliable when bookings are confirmed.

We have a small fenced garden but we benefit from miles of walks on Sankey Valley and numerous local fields and parks to play on.
“Claire was absolutely brilliant with our dog Pancake. With lots of updates and photographs of what he had been up to. She is Really nice and makes you feel very comfortable leaving him. I would highly recommend her. We actually think Pancake has the holiday blues leaving her. Thank you”
“We really couldn’t have asked for a better person to have looked after our Mabel. She was happy and content during the whole visit. Francis kept us updated daily with messages and videos which meant a lot to us. Cannot recommend Francis enough. We will definitely be using him again.”
“Emily was beyond amazing with looking after topaz. Topaz was able to settle almost immediately, and I know for a fact that she was well taken care of. I was updated regularly. Would highly recommend her for looking after your fur baby.”
“We really have found our retreat for Bishop when we go away. I was so worried about leaving Bishop with any one, due to his reactivity with other dogs and the size and energy of him but Louie reassured me as he has many years experience with big breeds and reactive behaviours. I took Bishop for a meet and knew within a minute Louie and his family would manage Bishop and that his needs would be met. We got updates and pictures whilst we were away which reassured me even more. Picking up Bishop was actually quite emotional although I could see he had missed me, the connection and love he clearly had for Louie and his family was clear to see, he had been so well looked after and was part of the family. I really couldn’t ask for more, I would not want anyone else to look after Bishop in the future and look forward to booking again. Can’t thank Louie and his family enough”
“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💯”
“Ian and his whole family are wonderful sitters. They welcomed Assia into their home and looked after her as if she was their own. Thank you for making sure she had a lovely holiday too 😊 🐕”
“Our dog had a lovely stay with Lauren and family and we could relax knowing that he was in a great home environment. He bonded with Lauren's dog and it was great knowing that we were leaving him with someone who clearly loves dogs! We got lots of photo and video updates which showed him having a great holiday! Thank you for taking such good care of him!”
“Couldn’t be happier with Wesley and how he cares for Bryn whenever I’m away. Bryn absolutely loves him, I can clearly see how happy he gets every time he sees Welsey; this only means that he’s taken good care of him. Would definitely contact him again!!”
About: I’m an experienced dog owner and have cared for Cooper as part of my daily life for years. I’m used to the responsibility that comes with owning a dog, from regular walks and feeding to play, exercise and giving them plenty of attention. I walk Cooper every day, come rain or shine, and genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs and exploring the outdoors with them. I’m patient, reliable and will treat your dog like one of my own. work as a teacher during the week, but I’m available to board dogs during weekdays as well as weekends.

I’m happy to work around each dog’s usual routine and individual needs. I’m an experienced dog owner and understand how important it is to feel confident leaving your dog with someone you trust. I have a safe home with a garden and experience caring for my own dog as part of my daily routine.

About: Me and my girlfriend (a Veterinary Surgeon) have loved looking after several dogs over the years. We love walking, being active and providing a lovely environment for your pet. We’ve had some really lovely feedback over the years from owners and it makes us happy to know that people place their trust in us to look after their beloved pet. Please feel free to reach out with any questions and I’ll be happy to chat 😊 I typically work 8am-4pm Monday to Friday, usually spending my weekends being active on walks / hikes. In my girlfriends role as a Veterinary Surgeon, her working hours are slightly more varied however she usually has 1 weekday off per week. When we look after dogs, we usually take them for a walk first thing in the morning and then again in the evening 😊 We have a fenced, good sized garden which is secure. We like animals to be able to have free roam of the downstairs while we aren’t at home (they’re therefore able to move between the living room, kitchen and hallway 😊 We live in a Cul-De-Sac surrounded by really friendly neighbours.
“Couldn’t have asked for a better stay. Very frequent updates, put our mind at ease while away. Pebbles has loved her stay, so much so she didn’t want to come home 😂. She will miss her new friend Lucky. Thanks so much!”
About: Ive always had animals in my family growing up and due to work committments the timing isnt quite right for us to have a dog full time due to work but id love for your pet to come and stay with our family. We have 2 house cats that are used to friends dogs coming and going. My older children love animals but know to respect boundaries. Ive looked after friends pets while they go away for a week and weekends and have really enjoyed that experience so Im hoping to do that more often. During the week I currently work part time and as a hybrid worker and this works well alongside my partners shift work meaning animals would never be left for long and this could possibly be arranged. We are early risers and enjoy a morning walk every day. During the weekends our availaibility is a lot better and your pet will usually come with us on days out and walks. We have a strong sense of responsibility in the care entrusted to us with a member of your family. We hope to offer a home from with a good routine of 2-3 walks a day. Feeding routine will be kept as youve instructed but we typically feed our cats twice a day with biscuits down as needed, maybe with a treat or two. Every animal is individual and we feel confident at being flexible enough that we can meet what works for your pet whilst incorporating them into our daily life. Any questions please ask.
“Finn had a lovely time staying with Annabelle and she couldn’t have been more accommodating ❤️ I would definitely book Finn in again. I got plenty of updates and photos of how Finn was getting on, great communication and any worries I had were addressed straight away.”
“Ted had a FANTASTIC time with Bianca. We received lots of photos and he went on plenty of walks to tire him out. We would highly recommend using Bianca for dog boarding, and shall be using her again!! Thanks again xx”
