“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:)”
“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.”
“We couldn’t have wished for a better, more caring minder for our dog Ozzy than Charlotte and her family that made their home his when he stayed for the weekend. Ozzy is already looking forward to his next visit. Thank you”

We were kept updated and sent photos of his stay, which put us at ease as he hadn’t stayed with Chrissie before. Would highly recommend Chrissie to anyone looking for someone to have their dog well loved and looked after whilst they are away. We will definitely use again! Thanks Chrissie!”
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.
“This was our first time leaving our dog with anyone who wasn't family and we was a little worried ,however, there was no need to be at all. Louie and family took him in and Charlie had a great time! He was well looked after and by the sounds of things, they was able to give him his medication & Charlie thrived being there, plenty of walks, attention and they cared for him like he was their own. We would 100% reccomend & will be using again the next time we need a dog sitter.”
“Throughout the process of sitting for my dogs. Bettyna demonstrated outstanding service and professionalism. Prior to their stay, she invited my dogs and me to view her home. We discussed the dogs' behaviour, eating habits, sleep patterns, etc. Bettyna took the dogs for walks daily, regularly sent photos, and welcomed my pooches into her family. Christine is extremely knowledgeable about dogs, communicates excellently, and genuinely cares. Thank you so much. I would highly recommend Bettyna's services.”
“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 :) ❤️”
“Absolutely incredible, not only does she take incredible care of your dog and treats them as her own, she also offers pick ups and drop offs for an additional charge which is extremely handy. I got sent a tonne of pictures and videos throughout my dogs stay and he looked incredibly happy. Despite max never have been away from me before overnight he settled extremely well. Would highly recommend and thank you again, Max will definitely miss you and his new furry friend 🐾”
“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.”
“What can I say, this by far is one of the best home stays Rio has had! Bruna and her family have been fantastic from the moment I made contact with them. From the very first conversation we had I knew Bruna was the right fit for Rio from the questions she asked. I could tell straight away that she and her family will love and care for Rio in the same way that we do and I wasn’t wrong. Bruna knew I was nervous about leaving a very precious member of our family with her but from the moment we dropped Rio off she made sure to put my nervousness to rest. She was prepared with lots of questions before we left and whilst we were away I got regular updates throughout the day. She has kept his routine that he has at home and looked after him really well during this heatwave. Bruna and her family have done everything to make their home welcoming for Rio and taken exceptional care of him. I would not hesitate to leave Rio with Bruna again, if anything I hope Bruna and her family can be regular carers for Rio. I would highly recommend Bruna for any kind of dog sitting / boarding, she is so loving and caring and has treated Rio like her own. Thank you so much Bruna ❤️.”
“Busta had the best time with Katie and her partner, they sent lots of pictures and kept me up to date on everything he was doing. He seemed so happy with Katie’s dog buster! He looked so happy and settled really well. Will definitely use Katie again! 🩵”
“Nick & Kerry were fantastic, Bella had the best time staying with them, they really were amazing, sending regular updates , walking Bella 3 times a day, which she really enjoyed.

“Rosie had a wonderful stay with Annabelle such a lovely caring kind person she looked after Rosie like one of her own spoilt rotten even sleeping on the bed ! Keeping her safe and plenty of walks , cuddles + love what more can u ask for and plenty of updates. Rosie was really happy when my son picked her up . I would highly recommend.”
“I cant recommend Stephanie highly enough! Im not sure Honey wanted to come home! Stephanie has a lovely, spacious home and has an ideal doggy secure front and back gardens. Stephanie is also very much a doggy person who has her own dog Millie who also is delightful. Honey has been to stay with Stephanie and Millie for a long weekend, and being a 7 month old pup, we’re still at the building confidence stage and this was to be Honeys very first big girls weekend away. Stephanie has made this a fantastic experience for her and I knew from our first meet amd greet a couple of weeks earlier, that Honey would be happy staying there. Shes had an awesome weekend so thank you so much Stephanie! Heres to the next time xx”

“Garry looked after my lovely little terrier and she had a lovely time. He sent photos and videos the whole weekend so I didn’t need to worry. He took my dog for a swim in his local lake and she loved it. His two dogs are super friendly and clearly very well-socialised. He even showered Star so she came back cleaner than when she went. Thank you, Garry. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟”

“I am happy to say that Hayley provided an outstanding service she took wonderful care of my cats I could tell they were all happy from the pictures she sent, which made me feel at ease and able to enjoy my holiday will definitely be booking her again in the future can't thank her enough for an excellent job”
“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!”
“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!”
“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”
“Chloe has been amazing with Sully everytime we go away. We get day to day updates and in full detail with pictures and videos of Sully. I can see that Sully truly loves it when Chloe comes and looks after him. Nothing but good things to say and I highly recommend Chloe to be anyone's cat sitter. ”

Kittens ☑️ Elderly Cats ☑️ Medical Needs ☑️ Playtime ☑️ Lap Cuddles ☑️ Food / Water / Litter Upkeep ☑️ Everything your little one(s) need ☑️
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 :-)
“Andrew has been amazing with our cat Rupert. He went above and beyond our expectations. Rupert has always been an anxious cat, and hated catteries. He would be out of sorts for days after coming home. When we came back from our break with Andrew caring for him, Rupert was so relaxed and happy it was like we never left. We got several pictures every visit, along with a summary, and all our instructions were followed to the letter. We cannot recommend Andrew enough.”
“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”
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.
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.
“Kylie was amazing with our cats, she looked after both of them really well, tending to their different personalities. very friendly, positive and easy to communicate with, with consistent updates on our cats. Would highly recommend!”
“Very friendly and experienced in pet care! She took care of Morty for two weeks and kept me updated each step of the way. Extremely nice and responsible, she kept me updated even for a few minute delays over the agreed times. Strongly recommend and will definitely reach out again!”
“Rhiannon was great! Super friendly and reliable! Took very good care of my cat and stayed in communication the entire time. My cat seemed relaxed and well taken care of when I came home. Would definitely recommend and book again!”

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.

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.

My goal is to make every pet feel happy, safe and cared for as if they were part of my own family.
“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! 🐾”

“Rachel is really lovely and welcoming. Travis went running straight in and when I went to pick him up, he kept going back over to Rachel. I got updates throughout the day which is really reassuring and it is lovely to see that he is settled, comfortable and clearly being cared for to a high standard while with someone else. I would definitely recommend Rachel and use her again if I need someone!”

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.

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.
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: 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: 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.
“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: 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.
“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 Zara, and caring for dogs has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember — from childhood through to today. I’ve grown up surrounded by dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and needs, and I truly understand how much love, patience, and attention they deserve. My experience includes: • 🐶 Senior dog care – I grew up with a gentle, elderly Golden Retriever, so I’m familiar with the extra support and calm routine older dogs need. • 🐕 High-energy & timid breeds – I currently help care for our beautiful Hungarian Vizsla rescue, Serbi, who came to us frightened and unsure. In just a few months, he’s blossomed into a playful, affectionate companion, and I’ve loved being part of that journey. • 🐩 Small breed care – I’ve spent the last 13+ years looking after my auntie’s Cocker Spaniels, my dad’s Cavachon (for 4 years), and now my own Cavachon, Benji, who’s 2 years and 3 months old. I also help with my dad’s Cockapoo Biscuit — Benji’s playful best friend who is a similar age with lots of energy! I treat every dog as if they were my own, giving them loving, reliable care tailored to their unique personality and routine. Whether your pup is playful, shy, senior, or just in need of some extra TLC, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and right at home. Let me know how I can help care for your furry family member — I can’t wait to meet them! 🐾❤️ I work from home so I am very flexible. I have full access to my own car with lots of room to transport the doggos to and from walks safely with doggy seat belts. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priority. I offer a loving, secure home environment where your pup will feel like part of the family. I live in a fully secured home that’s dog-friendly, calm, and perfect for both playtime and relaxation. Your dog will also have the company of my two well-behaved, friendly dogs: Benji, my gentle 2-year-old Cavachon, and Serbi, our sweet Hungarian Vizsla rescue. Both are incredibly social and love the company of other dogs, and equally respect other dogs space also. Benji has grown up around his cousins — including Rufus the Vizsla, Jasper the Cavachon, and Biscuit the Cockerpoo — so he’s used to making new doggy friends and loves having playmates around. Serbi has mirrored Benji’s social nature since joining our furry crew and would love the company of some more doggos! Whether your pup is high-energy or a bit more reserved, I always provide a safe, supervised space where they can feel secure and loved. I monitor all interactions closely to ensure everyone gets along well, and I give each dog plenty of individual attention. From cuddles on the sofa to fun in the garden, your pet will be treated with the same care and respect I give my own. I also provide regular photo and video updates so you can relax and enjoy peace of mind knowing your furry friend is in great hands!

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!

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!
