“Couldn’t recommend Michael enough. I was really nervous about leaving my dog overnight as she doesn’t usually warm to strangers however Michael has been fantastic with her and she settled there really quickly. He provided updates through her stay and cared for her well. Im sure she’ll be excited to be back when we go on holiday 🙂”
“Nicola looked after Frodo for a full week and did a wonderful job. He was clearly happy, well cared for, and settled when I picked him up. Nicola kept me updated and treated Frodo like one of her own. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her and would happily book with her again.”
“I usually only leave Rox for a night with Karen, but a surprise trip away meant I needed 3 nights this time. I also got Karen to drop Roxie back at my house so that I wouldn't have to worry about going to get her once we got home. Everything was great as always and Rox loves being tired out by all the playing with other dogs! Thanks again.”
“My 14yr old Dachshund had a weekend stay with Julie following his companion of 12yrs passing away. He was very depressed and not himself at all and I wasnt going to go to my plans initially. I then came across Julie and she seemed so lovely. During the initial visit she was calm and kind and Ziggy seemed right at home. She was sp accommodating when I explained that I had to leave earlier and said it was okay he could go. She sent me regular updates and pictures to reassure me that Ziggy was okay. He looked like he has a smashing time and was cared for very well. He's got a little bit of himself back and I would rebook Julie for future plans 🖤 thankyou”
“I was so nervous about leaving Valley for the first time, but I really didn’t need to be. Bianca and Chloe have a lovely, clean, modern, and calm home. They kept us reassured every step of the way with regular photos and updates. We’ll definitely be booking again!”
“I was a bit nervous leaving my boy with a new person but Clare was so reassuring and kind. She sent lots of updates and pictures and Peaches was happy, calm and very tired after picking up.”

“lidia was brilliant with my puppy, I left him in her care overnight, she ensured me he was ok through the duration sending me pictures of him. Bailey was very happy with her care :)”
“My dog went to caitlin for 2 nights earlier this week, after an initial meet and greet a few days before. She asked lots of questions to get as much information about cody before his stay, to get to know his routines, and to make it more comfortable for him. She provided updates with photos of him on walks etc and just chilling, reassuring me that he felt comfortable in their home and in their company. Would let him stay again.”

“If you are wanting a home from home experience with regular updates about your pet this is the one! 5 stars is too little in my opinion, my boy was very well looked after and the regular updates and seeing how settled he was left me feeling so at ease about having to leave him. Absolutely fantastic people! I would return here again and again and again 🥰”

“Thanks again to Kayleigh for looking after Puss while I’ve been away. Since Puss got poorly, I’ve been more nervous about leaving her, but Kayleigh keeps me updated and sends amazing pictures. Puss lives playing with her and seems so relaxed. Thanks for helping me to enjoy my break. 🥰”
“Honestly the best I could ask for. Came through last minute and went out of her way for my girls, even buying litter for them when an emergency meant I couldn’t to get some!! Send me updates and pics every day, and made me feel so much less anxious about leaving. Could not recommend more🥹🩷🩷”
“Nicola had been great with my cat Henry. He is a very anxious cat who I could never put in a cattery, family are too far or not here anymore to feed him when I’m away. Nicola came to meet him before, he ran upstairs but he saw her, she sent me photos and a video as he made a noise and she didn’t know if he was ok, it was normal, he opens his mouth to miaow but nothing comes out but this small noise.. thought this was good of her to check. Great service and reliable, would definitely recommend and contact again.”
“Very happy with Neoma, my cat Henry is very anxious and scared of new people, told her that she prob wouldn’t see him much and just to put his food down etc but she sent me pics on the first day of her fussing him, he took to her straight away, I got regular updates, wasn’t worried about him at all while I was away, can definitely recommend”
“Paige has been an absolute superstar with Cheddar and Skittle. The fact that they warmed to her so quickly is a testament to her kind and gentle nature, she truly understood their personalities and tended to their individual needs. We didn’t worry about them once and her detailed pet cards were both a source of entertainment and a much needed source of relief being away from our pets! I can’t recommend her highly enough. Thankyou for everything Paige! Xx”
“Nicola was a dream. Really flexible and accommodating. She’s really approachable and made me feel instantly relaxed leaving our Cat in her care and visiting our home while we were away. We’ll definitely book Nicola again when we need a helping hand.”
“We’ve used Elizabeth twice. Clover the cat was well cared for, fed and cleaned up after. Elizabeth also has amazing coms and goes above and beyond in taking care of things in the house. We’ll be using Elizabeth in future.”
“This is the second time I’ve booked with Sarah to look after my cat while I’ve been away, and I will continue to do so in the future. Sarah is very thorough in going through what Ziva needed while I was away, sent regular updates and photos, and gave Ziva lots of attention and care while I was away. I really recommend Sarah as a cat sitter”
“Vanessa and Tony were fabulous. They came to chat with us about what our cats specific needs were before we went away. They kept us constantly updated and reassured as we were very nervous leaving our cat.They even took care of our gecko for us with no issues! I would recommend Tony and Vanessa to anyone and we would definitely book them again :) ”
“Yarah, is a truly lovely thoughtful young woman, who as a deep love of all animals and creatures great and small. I couldn't have asked for a nicer person to look after our 3 cats while we were away for a few days with our Grandson. She went above and beyond looking after them. It was lovely to be able to not have to worry at all about their care. She kept in touch with updates and photos etc. I will definitely be asking her to look after them again and cannot recommend her highly enough.😊”

“Tracy and her family agreed to care for Bubbles at short notice so I could attend a funeral for the day. Bubbles had never been left with anyone other than my own family members previously. Prior to the day care we arranged a ‘meet and greet’ which was a positive experience for both Bubbles and myself and this left me confident and reassured that Bubbles would be in ‘safe hands’ for me to leave her for a full day. On the actual day Bubbles was in Tracy’s care I received regular text messages/pictures throughout the day updating me on her eating habits, toilet breaks, play time ,walks and lots of cuddles. All in all Bubbles and I have had a very pleasant and positive experience with Tracy and her family and I would 100% recommend Tracys services which I will definitely be using again in the future.

About: I’ve helped my partner look after many different types of dogs over the last few years, from German Shepherds to Teacup Dachshunds. I’m now looking for dog walking opportunities of my own.

I’m currently studying Counselling and splitting care for my elderly father with my family, this allows me some free time during the week to fit in local dog walking. I always walk other people’s dogs on a lead and try and cover as much ground as possible to give the dog and myself a good amount of exercise (unless the dog is elderly or I have been given precise instructions on how to walk a dog)

Ripley loves cuddles and Long walks as well as playing with her doggy friends so she would love a friend to play with whilst looking after your fur baby. (I only board/day care small dogs) Ripley is crate trained, but that went out the window a while ago, she has full run of the house and there's no such things as no pets on the furniture in my home. Your fur baby will get lots off attention, as Ripley does suffer from speration anxiety so comes with me everywhere (when I can) so your dog will be well looked after and get lots of attention I currently have most days free due to not starting full time work until the end of July. So your dog will be well looked after and spend lots of time with me I must meet your dog before any boarding or day care services are provided - I have a yard that is fully fenced and secure and gets great sun for those dogs who like to sunbathe like me. There's a local canal/forest in which myself and Ripley often take walks in. Dogs are allowed on the furniture in my home and if they are well behaved they can sleep on the bed. I also have two crates available if you prefer them to sleep in a crate. Your dogs will need to be well socialised as myself and Ripley like to venture out for food and drinks in local dog friendly restaurants Please note your dogs must be happy to ride in cars
About: Over the years, I've taken care of every kind of pet, from dogs to guinea pigs, for friends and family as well my own including rabbits, dogs, fish, etc. I've been a carer for over 30 years, and now that I'm retired I'm looking to fill the days with something I love. I'd treat your furbabies as if they were my own. I'm recently retired so there's plenty of availablw time in my schedule to take care of and play with your pets, including weekends! I have a spacious fenced garden and only own fish. Living near a large park means there's plenty of open space to walk dogs.
About: I’ve taken care of pets for the majority of my life whether it be my own cats or family and friends dogs and cats. I’ve always loved taking care of animals and helping out so taking them for walks or looking after them for periods of time when needed, making sure they’re happy and well looked after brings me so much joy. I am currently working from home trying to start my own photography business so i am very flexible and can provide drop in visits/ walking services whenever needed. I will always keep your dogs safe and on the lead when on walks, as well as always checking with you on whether your dogs are okay to interact with other dogs on the walk or not, if they are i will always keep an eye on body language and other signs of stress when they are around other dogs. Your dogs safety and happiness is my main priority when looking after them When doing drop in visits i will make sure your cat/dog has food in their bowl, has been to the toilet and has had a good amount of play/cuddle time. I am happy to do drop in visits for longer if you need me to! as long as both you and your furry friend are happy then i don’t mind!. I will also make sure the house is safe, ensuring doors and windows are locked upon leaving.
About: Based in ASHTON UNDER LYNE 🥰 I love animals so so much and have been taking care of peoples pets for as far as I can remember, I love being asked to take care of someone’s pet, it makes me so so happy. From my neighbours dog, cat to helping my friend who is also a dog sitter! It brings so much joy into my life. I used to have my own cat, Tiggy, who lived until 19 years old, I miss him dearly. I work 9-5 but remotely on Mondays and Fridays. I love going to walks in my spare time 🥰 so animal company is even better, I love all animals and not afraid of any!! Over the years I’ve learnt about different animals needs. I think it’s important to understand the animal as an individual in order to keep them happy. For example one cat might hate belly rubs whereas another will love them! (My cat didn’t approve)
“Couldn’t have asked for a better service. Neoma was super friendly, came over for a meet and greet. Kept me informed throughout and did an amazing job looking after my dog. Would absolutely recommend to anyone 🙂 Thanks Neoma!”

“My dog went to caitlin for 2 nights earlier this week, after an initial meet and greet a few days before. She asked lots of questions to get as much information about cody before his stay, to get to know his routines, and to make it more comfortable for him. She provided updates with photos of him on walks etc and just chilling, reassuring me that he felt comfortable in their home and in their company. Would let him stay again.”

What Makes Me Your Pet’s New Best Friend: Big, Small, Meow, or Woof! I’m comfortable with paws of all shapes and sizes—from energetic big dogs who love a good zoomie, to sweet little pups, and independent cats who just want a calm sunny spot (and occasional chin scratches). Puppy Energy & Good Habits: Got a young tail-wagger? I help keep up with fun play sessions to burn off that adorable puppy energy. Pets Are My Daily Priority! ☀️🐾 Because pet care is my full-time focus, my entire day revolves around keeping tail-waggers and purr-machines happy, healthy, and safe! Here is how a typical day looks with me: Bright & Early: Morning paws-out walks, breakfast time, and fresh water refreshes to start the day with happy wags. Mid-Day Play & Paws: Perfect for active play, mental enrichment, sunny nap spots, and mid-day check-ins or neighborhood strolls. Cozy Evenings: Wind-down walks, dinner service, precise medication routines (if needed), and plenty of sofa cuddles before bedtime. Ultimate Flexibility for Your Peace of Mind: Since I don't have a traditional 9-to-5 job, my schedule is wonderfully flexible! Whether your dog needs precise pot-ty breaks every few hours, your cat craves extra midday chin scratches, or your senior pet needs a quiet, slow-paced routine, I can easily adapt to match your pet’s exact daily rhythm. Whether I’m hosting your furry family member in my home or visiting them in yours, safety and trust are always my top priorities. I treat every home with complete respect and every pet as if they were my own!
“Alice and family were absolutely wonderful with Erica. She has some quirks but they dealt with it excellently. Alice kept us up-to-date with regular updates and photos and Erica had a lovely time! Thank you so much.”
“Kelly has been absolutely fabulous with our Daisy! Sometimes some sitters are put off Daisy because she is a big dog, a Labrador cross. This didn't phase Kelly at all. She has been really positive and accommodating throughout, happy to meet up before the stay and being flexible about collection time. Our Daisy was spoilt rotten by Aunty Kelly, and she updated us Daily, putting our minds at easy. We would wholeheartedly recommend Kelly and certainly take her back for another holiday!”
“Stanley had a great stay with Rachael and Fran. They provided him with all the love and care he could need while we were away. We can’t recommend them enough and will definitely be using them again for Stanley!”
“I can not thank Laura and Jay enough for looking after Millie. I was sent pictures and video of her stay and have to say, she looked like she was having so much fun. This was the first time I had left her with anyone, and I was nervous but I need not have been , as she was so well looked after. They are great people who I would highly recommend. There beautiful home is well situated and offers plenty of fields to run and play, and that was just me. If you are looking for someone who you can trust with your own pet, you need not look any further. Thanks again guys, so pleased I found you. Steve and Millie.”
