“We thoroughly enjoyed our holiday knowing our dog Billy was being well cared for by Julia & Anthony. We received daily photos and videos of him out on walks & playing in their lovely garden. Julia and Anthony are lovely people and it is very obvious they adore dogs.”
“What can I say about Alice and her family. Amazing!! They have looked after our pooch so well and treated her as their own pet. Meetibg Alice, we knew our fur baby would be in good hands. The regular updates were fantastic and it was nice to see they were all having a good time. 100% would recommend Alice and personally I would always reach to Alice first when I need someone to look after my precious doggy again.”
“This is Max’s second stay with Michael and he absolutely loves staying with him. I get regular updates and photos and it’s obvious Max is spoilt rotten and loves all the fuss and attention he gets whilst he’s there! Perfect stay and experience - thank you 🤩”
“Matthew was a fantastic pet sitter for my dog, Inky. He was friendly, reliable, and kept Inky active and happy throughout his stay. It was clear that he genuinely cared for him and made sure he was well looked after. I would definitely book Matthew again in the future and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”
“Dan is amazing. His genuine love for dogs really shows: he’s patient, caring, and always puts the dog’s needs first (even if that means playing fetch for the 100th time). Our rescue Belgian Malinois, Apple, stayed with him for two weeks over Christmas and he handled her reactivity and need for a slow introduction perfectly and Apple now runs toward Dan, which says everything. By the time we left for our holiday leaving her behind for the first time, all my worries were gone. We picked her up happy, clean, and with everything neatly packed. Dan is the best, highly recommend.”
“Ko clearly knows and understands dogs. He looked after Peggy, our collie, overnight; took her for plenty of walks and understood her quirks - eg, a walk doesn’t happen if there isn’t a ball! It was good to be able to arrange a meet and greet beforehand. I would definitely recommend Ko.”
“This was our first stay with Karen and she did an amazing job looking after Bobby - thank you so much! Lots of updates and photos whilst I was away. We had a meet and greet beforehand too to make sure everyone was happy, including her two little dogs which are lovely. Bobby was settled and happy to be there on all the comfy spots around the house. Karen also gave Bobby his daily medication and was so accommodating. Thanks again. Highly recommend ☺️❤️”
“Judith was wonderful with our 4 month old pup, Artie. She was great at communicating before the stay, very attentive to his needs when we dropped him off and sent regular updates. Artie got regular walks, was constantly played with and fussed and generally treated like royalty - loved it. I would highly recommend Judith to anyone, she was fantastic and the only problem was I don't think Artie wanted to leave he loved it that much! Thank you Judith for taking such good care of him.”
“Fynn stayed for 8 nights with Dani and Tracy and he had a ball! Gave me such piece of mind while I was on holiday with lots of updates and pictures regularly throughout his stay. They really did treat fynn like their own. Can’t recommend them enough, thank you so much again from me and fynn!🤎”
“The perfect dogsitters! 😍 I honestly can't praise them enough. I got updates every single day. With lots of photos and videos. Not just once, but several throughout the day. It made me feel so relaxed knowing Joey was having the best time and going on such lovely walks. I have been using dogsitters for a long time and both Bianca and Chloe are the best I have ever had! Thank you so much for making Joey so happy. I could tell he was so settled all throughout his time with you both and when I came to collect him he even didn't want to leave! Xx”
“Steve is absolutely brilliant! Albi stayed with him for an evening earlier in the year, and we were so impressed with the care he gave that we were thrilled when he was available again for our week-long holiday. Steve kept us updated with loads of lovely photos and messages, and it was clear Albi was having the best time! He made new dog friends, had plenty of fun, and honestly didn’t look like he was ready to come home. We’re so grateful for the love and attention Steve gave him, we wouldn’t hesitate to book again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter.”
“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.”
“Amanda is absolutely amazing with our Buzz! He recently stayed for 8 nights and we felt at ease for the whole time. There was regular updates and photos of our precious boy and we enjoyed our holiday knowing he was being spoilt and well looked after! 10000% recommend, thank you! Xxx”
“Sarasa looked after Carlo for 8 nights whilst we were on holiday and we couldn’t be happier. It was our first time leaving him without a family member for that long and we were completely reassured by regular updates and photos. Sarasa gave him regular walks and kept up with his medications. Thank you!”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter than Stasys! He was absolutely amazing with Fifi and made us feel completely at ease while we were away. Fifi can be quite reactive, so we really appreciated how patient and understanding he was, and how he adjusted everything to suit her needs. He kept us updated throughout with lots of photos and videos, which we absolutely loved. Fifi looked so happy, relaxed and well cared for in every single one, and it was clear that she was getting plenty of attention and care. He also kept us informed whenever anything came up, which gave us so much reassurance. Stasys made the whole experience completely stress-free. We would definitely trust him with Fifi again. 😊”
“We were nervous about leaving our rescue staffie Ty for two nights as we have only had him for 7 months and he had been in the dogs home for 6 months. Clare was very friendly and it was obvious that Clare loves her own dog Ruby and put us at ease right away. Clare sent us lots of pictures of Ty on walks with her dog and playing in the garden in a paddling pool during the extremely hot weather. I would not hesitate to have Clare look after Ty again.”
“I was afraid that Lolli wouldn't want to come back home after being so happy and spoiled 😍😍 I had nothing to worry about leaving her with Imogen, she's definitely will be back! Thank you so much!”
“Wilf had a great time with Chloe and Anthony. They looked after him for a night and we had updates and photos throughout on walks and at playtime so we knew he was ok and enjoying himself. Wilf would definitely love to stay with them again! Thanks guys x”
“Obie had the best time and was exhausted from all the playing with their two dachshunds! Monina and her partner sent loads of updates which was so nice to see while we were away!”
“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’ve never used this service before so I was a bit nervous at first. The communication with Anthea was great and this helped put my mind at ease. Alaska seemed to really like her and I will definitely be booking her again in future!”
“Saraah was a great cat sitter. She was very warm and kind and my cat gravitated towards her straight away. Saraah arrived on time each visit, sent lots of photos which really put me at ease. My cat looked relaxed and I could tell he was content. I would recommend Saraah to anyone looking for a sitter and i would absolutely book again”
“Kayleigh is a very patient and kind sitter. Puss took to her immediately and I was happy to book her again. Puss had been ill and Kayleigh managed to give her the medicine and Puss still stayed friends with her. Kayleigh sent me lots of pictures while I was away so I could see how they were getting on. I don’t have many trips away now Puss has health conditions, but would always book Kayleigh. 🐈⬛😻”
“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”
About: I’ve had my own cat who taught me patience, loyalty and love! They can be the most independent animals yet incredibly loving. I have cared for many cats ranging from tabby’s to Maine Coon’s, those who don’t like physical affection and those who love it!
“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.”
“Sarah was super lovely as always, providing daily updates and pictures so I knew Ziva was being looked after. Sarah is always very thorough with looking after Ziva and makes sure she is clear on everything, so it’s wonderful to have someone you can trust to look after your pet. I would definitely recommend Sarah!”
“Our first cat-sitting experience and we are so pleased Elizabeth picked us. Phoenix was very well looked after and he is happy. We cannot recommend Elizabeth enough for all her patience, efficiency, hard-work and dedication.”
“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”
“I requested Demmi look after my cat quite last minute and she was quick to respond and very professional. She provided updates every day and did a great job looking after my cat. I would book her services again.”
“Yarah was friendly, punctual, and amazing with my kittens. It was my first time leaving them alone while they were still very young, and she made both me and them feel completely comfortable. She sent lovely photos of them cuddled up sleeping next to her, which really reassured me they were relaxed. I came home to two happy kittens and would absolutely have Yarah back again!”
About: I have over 25 years of experience caring for dogs and run Ruby’s Retreat, a home-from-home boarding service in Dukinfield. As a Rover Star Sitter with 33 five-star reviews, I provide personalised care in a calm family environment. I work from home, meaning dogs receive company, supervision and attention throughout the day. I have experience with puppies, senior dogs, rescue dogs, nervous dogs, medication administration and multi-dog households. Every dog is treated as an individual and I take time to learn their personality, routine and preferences so they feel safe, relaxed and settled during their stay. I carefully manage group dynamics and only accept dogs that I feel will be a good fit for the environment, ensuring a positive experience for everyone. I work from home full-time, which means dogs are rarely left alone and receive plenty of supervision, attention and companionship throughout the day. Each day includes garden access, exercise, playtime, rest periods and lots of interaction. I adapt routines to suit individual dogs, whether they prefer active days, quiet companionship or a little of both. I am flexible with feeding schedules, medication requirements and established routines to help your dog feel comfortable and settled during their stay. At Ruby’s Retreat, dogs stay in a calm family home with secure outdoor space and are treated as part of the family. I carefully manage introductions and group dynamics to ensure dogs are well matched and comfortable with one another. Every dog receives individual attention and I take time to understand their personality, routine and any specific needs before their stay. Dogs are welcome on furniture and have access to both indoor and outdoor spaces throughout the day. However, I am always happy to follow an owner’s preferred rules and routines to maintain consistency. Regular photo and video updates are provided throughout your dog’s stay, giving you complete peace of mind while you’re away.

“It’s a little unnerving when you leave your pup for the first time but Tony and Julia have been fantastic! They send regular updates throughout the day on how your pup is getting on, as well as taking the time to train and play with them. I would definitely recommend using this service! On top of that, they are both lovely people, who have a genuine care for animals and it really shows”
“Petrie had a fabulous time with Karen and her doggies. She came back very sleepy after playing all day. It was so lovely to see photos of her having the time of her life! Petrie is only 5 months and she was very very well looked after - she can't wait to go back again! 🤗🐶”

I live in a spacious, dog-friendly home with a large, secure back garden, providing plenty of space for dogs to relax, play, and feel comfortable during their stay.

They understand how to respect dogs’ space and are always supervised, helping create a calm and family-friendly environment that many dogs feel at ease in. I spend most of my time at home, which allows me to give dogs consistent attention, companionship, and care throughout the day. I focus on keeping routines calm and predictable, following owners’ instructions closely so each dog feels safe and settled. For peace of mind, I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos, so you can relax knowing your dog is well cared for while you’re away. Pet care fits well into my daily routine as I spend most of my time at home. This allows me to provide consistent supervision, companionship, and attention.

I only take a small number of dogs at a time to ensure quality care.
“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. Thank-you very much Tracy and family for taking such wonderful care of my Bubbles for the day.”

“Karen was amazing! It was our first time leaving waffles with anyone who wasn't family and I couldn't be any happier with the experience. Karen was lovely and professional throughout, with a lovely dog safe home and genuinely cared about my little pooch! We met beforehand to see how he would get on with her lovely resident dog Reggie (who is a lovely little gent). I felt safe and secure leaving waffles with Karen and Reggie and I got updates throughout the day and he has come home exhausted after such a fun day! Will definitely use again!”

About: As a Registered Veterinary Nurse with over 10 years of experience, I bring a level of professional knowledge and reassurance that many standard pet sitters simply can’t offer 🩺🐾 Working in veterinary practice means I am highly experienced in animal behaviour, handling and recognising subtle changes in a pet’s health or wellbeing. Your pet’s safety, comfort and happiness will always be my top priority. I am trained in fear-free handling, meaning I focus on creating calm and positive experiences for pets, especially those who may feel nervous, shy or anxious around new people or environments 🤍🐶🐱 I am also an ISFM Cat Friendly Advocate and have completed additional training in cat-friendly handling, allowing me to provide gentle, stress-aware care for feline companions 🐱✨ What really makes my service different is the combination of clinical knowledge and genuine love for animals. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I treat every animal as if they were my own.

Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine as animals have always been a huge part of my life. Alongside running my pet care services, I also work part-time as a Registered Veterinary Nurse during the week, which allows me to maintain my clinical skills while still offering flexible and reliable pet sitting and drop-in visits. Because I work part-time shifts, I’m able to plan my schedule carefully to ensure pets in my care receive the time, attention and routine they need 🐶🐱 On days I am not in practice, I have much greater flexibility for longer visits, pet sitting, walks and check-ins. When I do have a shift, I ensure visits are scheduled around my working hours so pets are never left without the care and companionship they deserve. Being a veterinary nurse also means I’m very used to structured routines and planning ahead, so you can feel confident that your pet’s feeding times, walks, medication and daily routine will always be followed carefully 🩺🐾 Caring for animals is something I genuinely love, so spending my free time looking after pets fits perfectly into my lifestyle 🤍 Your pet’s safety and wellbeing will always be my highest priority 🤍 As a Registered Veterinary Nurse with over 10 years of experience, I am trained to recognise changes in behaviour, health and wellbeing, giving owners extra reassurance while their pets are in my care.

“My sausage dog Millie had her first daycare with Monina this week. She’s a very nervous little girl and it takes time for her to get comfortable. Monina was very kind and understanding and took excellent care of her. I felt completely comfortable that Monina would look after my girl as well as one of her own lovely sausages”
About: Hi, I'm Donna, a lifelong dog lover with over 15 years of experience owning and caring for dogs and other pets. Friends and family regularly trust me to look after their dogs when they go away, so I have experience caring for dogs with different personalities, sizes and exercise needs. I currently have a 5-year-old neutered Cocker Spaniel called Brodie. He is a loving, friendly and well-socialised dog who enjoys having other dogs around. He has a very calm temperament, is well behaved, doesn't chase wildlife and is happily relaxed around cats. Dogs staying with me become part of the family and receive plenty of love, attention and exercise. I provide multiple walks every day, as well as lots of playtime, enrichment and cuddles. At weekends, I often head out on longer adventures in the Peak District with dogs who enjoy exploring and longer walks. Equally, if your dog prefers shorter, quieter strolls, I'm happy to tailor their care to suit their individual needs. I understand that leaving your dog with someone else can be a big decision, so I always aim to make them feel safe, comfortable and at home. I'll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your dog is happy and well cared for. I work from home full-time, which means I can provide plenty of company, supervision and attention throughout the day. Dogs in my care are rarely left alone and quickly become part of my daily routine. Every lunchtime, I take a 45-minute woodland walk, giving dogs the opportunity to stretch their legs, explore and enjoy some fresh air. After I finish work at 4pm, I head out again for a longer walk of around an hour in the local woodland, ensuring plenty of exercise and enrichment each day. Most Saturdays, weather permitting, are spent exploring the beautiful trails of the Peak District. If the weather isn't ideal, we enjoy longer walks along the River Mersey instead. These outings provide plenty of opportunities for adventure, sniffing, socialisation and exercise for dogs that enjoy being active. I understand that every dog is different, so I always tailor walks, activities and care to suit their age, energy levels and individual needs, ensuring they feel happy, comfortable and at home while staying with me. 🐾 Your dog's safety and wellbeing will always be my top priority. I work from home full-time, so dogs in my care receive plenty of supervision, company and attention throughout the day and are rarely left alone. I have a secure, fenced garden where dogs can safely play, explore and enjoy time outdoors. Inside the home, dogs are treated as part of the family and have access to comfortable spaces to relax and feel at home. There is also plenty of space within the house to separate dogs if needed, whether for mealtimes, rest periods or if they simply prefer their own space. My dog Brodie is a loving, well-socialised dog who enjoys the company of other dogs and has a very calm temperament. He doesn't chase wildlife and is relaxed around other animals, including cats. I always follow each dog's usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, exercise requirements and any special instructions provided by their owners. Every dog is different, and I believe they deserve individual care, attention and lots of love while they're away from home. 🐾

I’m available throughout the week and I can easily adapt to your pet’s usual routine. :) I don’t have any pets of my own, so my home is a calm and quiet environment, which can be especially beneficial for nervous or anxious pets.

“Chloe’s communication is great, my pup always looks like he’s had a fun walk from the photos, she makes sure he’s settled after the walk before she leaves and he sleeps all day afterwards! Definitely recommend!”
“I was looking for a walker to replace my only walker I’ve had in three and a half years who had a perfect 100% record so big shoes to fill. Matthew has made the transition to new walker for Kevin(3 1/2 yo staffie) so seamless I’ve barely noticed the difference.Excellent timekeeping and great communication with a thorough Rover report card and checking to see if mine and Kevin’s needs are met. I will be using Matthew as my new regular weekly walker and I would highly recommend him to look after you furry friend.”
“Nicola swooped in when I couldn’t walk my dog and needed 3 last minute bookings. She was so responsive, and very grounded in response to Friday deciding to have a bit of a strike. Thank you!!”
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 have owned dogs for 35 years and I’m currently the owner of an 8 year old Springer Spaniel and a 10 year old miniature Yorkshire Terrier (these 2 won’t be joining me on the walks). I’m willing to offer solo dog walks where required. 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)
About: I've taken care of family and friends' dogs from a young age. Particularly my grandma's border collie mutt regularly through my teenage years. I have dog-sat amd walked a lovely german shepherd girl in the past. While I'm doing some self-directed study my calendar is wide open for cat care and dog walks :) I'm currently studying on my own part-time schedule so I have plenty of time to take care of pets. I'm available all week though I do need go return to my house to also look after my own fur babies :) I am a naturally quiet person, which works well for introducing myself to new cats. During visits I would feed your pet(s), stay while they enjoy their meal and give them a nice play time once they are finished. My cats keep to separate spaces and I would ensure each pet in the home gets the attention they need.
About: I had a family dog since I was a teenager for 12 years and have looked after them in my spare time ever since. Now in my thirties, I've gained a lot of experience with dogs of many different ages, breeds and temperaments. I'm currently available pretty much whenever you need, for whatever you need. Whether it be just a few hours or a few days, I'm happy to help!I I live on a quiet, dog friendly cut-de-sac with lots of parks nearby. And I have a fenced garden, with plenty of space for your pup to run around and play.
“Megan is fabulous!! She’s been walking our Foxy now for a couple of weeks and takes such good care of her. It’s great to have such good communication and have such detailed reports with gorgeous pictures during a busy day at work! Thanks so much Megan, Foxy loves you!! 🤩🐾”
About: My names Amy & I have two beautiful dogs called Narla and Mika! Narla is an XL Bully and Mika is a Patterdale Terrier. I have loved animals ever since I was only a few years old, ranging from Cats, dogs, gerbils, degu’s, skinny pigs and many more! I have worked with many different breeds with many different temperaments. Every dog is different and that’s what makes them all special in their own little way. I’m currently working part time, meaning I have time both before and after my shift to care for your pets. Whether that’s for a cuddle or a feed! I am DBS checked, have pet first aid and many other animal qualifications meaning my knowledge of pets wellbeing and what to do in the harder situations is advanced!
“I booked Elizabeth to carry out my dogs daily walks whilst we were on holiday and she was amazing! She was lovely to chat to via the app when booking and came for a meet and greet so we could go through everything beforehand which really put me at ease as this is the first time we’ve had to use a service like this whilst away. She sent me pictures every day and kept me updated on how he was doing which was lovely to have and Arthur was a very happy boy on his walks! I will definitely be booking Elizabeth again for any time we need help with walks or if we need someone to stay! 10/10 🥰”

Your pet’s safety, comfort and happiness will always be my top priority. I am trained in fear-free handling, meaning I focus on creating calm and positive experiences for pets, especially those who may feel nervous, shy or anxious around new people or environments 🤍🐶🐱 I am also an ISFM Cat Friendly Advocate and have completed additional training in cat-friendly handling, allowing me to provide gentle, stress-aware care for feline companions 🐱✨ What really makes my service different is the combination of clinical knowledge and genuine love for animals. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. Alongside my professional experience, I’m also a proud dog mum to my Basset Hound Rosie, who reminds me every day how special the bond between pets and their owners truly is 🐶💚 When your pet is in my care, you can feel confident knowing they are with someone who is qualified, experienced and truly passionate about animal welfare. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine as animals have always been a huge part of my life. Alongside running my pet care services, I also work part-time as a Registered Veterinary Nurse during the week, which allows me to maintain my clinical skills while still offering flexible and reliable pet sitting and drop-in visits. Because I work part-time shifts, I’m able to plan my schedule carefully to ensure pets in my care receive the time, attention and routine they need 🐶🐱 On days I am not in practice, I have much greater flexibility for longer visits, pet sitting, walks and check-ins. When I do have a shift, I ensure visits are scheduled around my working hours so pets are never left without the care and companionship they deserve. Being a veterinary nurse also means I’m very used to structured routines and planning ahead, so you can feel confident that your pet’s feeding times, walks, medication and daily routine will always be followed carefully 🩺🐾 Caring for animals is something I genuinely love, so spending my free time looking after pets fits perfectly into my lifestyle 🤍 Your pet’s safety and wellbeing will always be my highest priority 🤍 As a Registered Veterinary Nurse with over 10 years of experience, I am trained to recognise changes in behaviour, health and wellbeing, giving owners extra reassurance while their pets are in my care. I take the time to get to know each pet’s personality, routine and individual needs so they feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. Whether your pet is playful and energetic or shy and cautious, I adapt my approach to ensure they feel safe and relaxed. I am passionate about fear-free handling, meaning I always aim to minimise stress and create calm, positive experiences for pets. This is especially important for nervous animals or those who may struggle with new environments. I will always respect your home and your pet’s usual routine — following feeding schedules, walk routines and medication instructions carefully 🐶🐱 As a pet owner myself, I know how important trust is when leaving your pet with someone new. That’s why I treat every animal with the same level of care, patience and compassion as I would my own 🐾💚 You can relax knowing your pet is being looked after by someone qualified, experienced and genuinely passionate about animal welfare.
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: Hi, I'm Donna, a lifelong dog lover with over 15 years of experience owning and caring for dogs and other pets. Friends and family regularly trust me to look after their dogs when they go away, so I have experience caring for dogs with different personalities, sizes and exercise needs. I currently have a 5-year-old neutered Cocker Spaniel called Brodie. He is a loving, friendly and well-socialised dog who enjoys having other dogs around. He has a very calm temperament, is well behaved, doesn't chase wildlife and is happily relaxed around cats. Dogs staying with me become part of the family and receive plenty of love, attention and exercise. I provide multiple walks every day, as well as lots of playtime, enrichment and cuddles. At weekends, I often head out on longer adventures in the Peak District with dogs who enjoy exploring and longer walks. Equally, if your dog prefers shorter, quieter strolls, I'm happy to tailor their care to suit their individual needs. I understand that leaving your dog with someone else can be a big decision, so I always aim to make them feel safe, comfortable and at home. I'll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your dog is happy and well cared for. I work from home full-time, which means I can provide plenty of company, supervision and attention throughout the day. Dogs in my care are rarely left alone and quickly become part of my daily routine. Every lunchtime, I take a 45-minute woodland walk, giving dogs the opportunity to stretch their legs, explore and enjoy some fresh air. After I finish work at 4pm, I head out again for a longer walk of around an hour in the local woodland, ensuring plenty of exercise and enrichment each day. Most Saturdays, weather permitting, are spent exploring the beautiful trails of the Peak District. If the weather isn't ideal, we enjoy longer walks along the River Mersey instead. These outings provide plenty of opportunities for adventure, sniffing, socialisation and exercise for dogs that enjoy being active. I understand that every dog is different, so I always tailor walks, activities and care to suit their age, energy levels and individual needs, ensuring they feel happy, comfortable and at home while staying with me. 🐾 Your dog's safety and wellbeing will always be my top priority. I work from home full-time, so dogs in my care receive plenty of supervision, company and attention throughout the day and are rarely left alone. I have a secure, fenced garden where dogs can safely play, explore and enjoy time outdoors. Inside the home, dogs are treated as part of the family and have access to comfortable spaces to relax and feel at home. There is also plenty of space within the house to separate dogs if needed, whether for mealtimes, rest periods or if they simply prefer their own space. My dog Brodie is a loving, well-socialised dog who enjoys the company of other dogs and has a very calm temperament. He doesn't chase wildlife and is relaxed around other animals, including cats. I always follow each dog's usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, exercise requirements and any special instructions provided by their owners. Every dog is different, and I believe they deserve individual care, attention and lots of love while they're away from home. 🐾
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.
“Very pleasant young lady. I booked Yarah to take my dog out for a midday walk. The meet and greet went great and she was eager to learn all she could about my dogs personality and his temperament. After the walk she discussed everything with me and was open and honest about how it went. Would definitely recommend Yarah she is passionate about all animals.”
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life. Currently a mum to a silver lab. I love walking, playing with her and spending time with her. I often look after our friends dog and I’d love to care for more I’m currently working part time, for myself at home and have available hours to attend to any pets needs. I like to walk. I have a silver lab who can either stay home or go to the office with my partner depending on needs. I have a fenced large garden. I have a silver lab who can keep your fur baby company if needed. I can contain the dog to downstairs with baby gates or the dog can free roam.
“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!”
About: I moved to Manchester from Ireland a year and a bit ago. Back home I used to walk my dogs (who are no longer with us 🥲) regularly around the town and countryside. Since moving I’ve noticed the affectionate passion Mancunians have for dogs. I miss that interaction and connection with our canine friends and would love to give that to your dog(s). I love longer walks but would gladly accommodate to your dog’s needs and requirements. I work full time ranging from 07:00 - 18:00 Monday to Friday. I am available to walk your dog(s) weekdays in the evenings with more availability on the weekends. Monday: 19:30 - 21:00 Thursday: 19:30 - 21:00 Friday: 19:30 - 21:00 Saturday: 12:00 - 18:00 Sunday: 12:00 - 18:00 I will never let your dog off the lead. I also won’t drag or pull your dog and let them enjoy sniffing the world to their hearts content 😌

“What can I say about Alice and her family. Amazing!! They have looked after our pooch so well and treated her as their own pet. Meetibg Alice, we knew our fur baby would be in good hands. The regular updates were fantastic and it was nice to see they were all having a good time. 100% would recommend Alice and personally I would always reach to Alice first when I need someone to look after my precious doggy again.”
“This is Max’s second stay with Michael and he absolutely loves staying with him. I get regular updates and photos and it’s obvious Max is spoilt rotten and loves all the fuss and attention he gets whilst he’s there! Perfect stay and experience - thank you 🤩”
“Karen was great. Kept us up to date either pictures and messages about how Jenny was getting on and took really good care of her. She came back a very happy and tired pup. Thanks!”
“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.”
“Matthew was a fantastic pet sitter for my dog, Inky. He was friendly, reliable, and kept Inky active and happy throughout his stay. It was clear that he genuinely cared for him and made sure he was well looked after. I would definitely book Matthew again in the future and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”
“Dan is amazing. His genuine love for dogs really shows: he’s patient, caring, and always puts the dog’s needs first (even if that means playing fetch for the 100th time). Our rescue Belgian Malinois, Apple, stayed with him for two weeks over Christmas and he handled her reactivity and need for a slow introduction perfectly and Apple now runs toward Dan, which says everything. By the time we left for our holiday leaving her behind for the first time, all my worries were gone. We picked her up happy, clean, and with everything neatly packed. Dan is the best, highly recommend.”
“Ko clearly knows and understands dogs. He looked after Peggy, our collie, overnight; took her for plenty of walks and understood her quirks - eg, a walk doesn’t happen if there isn’t a ball! It was good to be able to arrange a meet and greet beforehand. I would definitely recommend Ko.”
“Fynn stayed for 8 nights with Dani and Tracy and he had a ball! Gave me such piece of mind while I was on holiday with lots of updates and pictures regularly throughout his stay. They really did treat fynn like their own. Can’t recommend them enough, thank you so much again from me and fynn!🤎”
“The perfect dogsitters! 😍 I honestly can't praise them enough. I got updates every single day. With lots of photos and videos. Not just once, but several throughout the day. It made me feel so relaxed knowing Joey was having the best time and going on such lovely walks. I have been using dogsitters for a long time and both Bianca and Chloe are the best I have ever had! Thank you so much for making Joey so happy. I could tell he was so settled all throughout his time with you both and when I came to collect him he even didn't want to leave! Xx”
“Jack took amazing care of Enzo once again. He keeps in contact throughout the visit, with lots of great photos and updates. Loads of interesting walks for Enzo and he was looked after as if he was at home. He was also very accommodating when I needed to change the drop off time at short notice. All round excellent experience, 10/10. Enzo will definitely be staying again soon!”
“Steve is absolutely brilliant! Albi stayed with him for an evening earlier in the year, and we were so impressed with the care he gave that we were thrilled when he was available again for our week-long holiday. Steve kept us updated with loads of lovely photos and messages, and it was clear Albi was having the best time! He made new dog friends, had plenty of fun, and honestly didn’t look like he was ready to come home. We’re so grateful for the love and attention Steve gave him, we wouldn’t hesitate to book again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter.”
“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.”
“We've had the fortune of having Hannah care for Lily several times now and I can honestly say that she provides a home from home. Lily loves the time she gets to spend with Hannah and Ruby which gives us great peace of mind. We look forward to the regular 'Pup-dates' and hearing all about their adventures. Thanks Hannah, you're a real gem! x”
“Kayley and Milly were fantastic with Goose. It was obvious from the start that they really care about the dogs they look after, and Goose settled in straight away :) They took great care of him and kept me updated, which was really appreciated. It was also lovely that Goose got to spend time with their dogs, Mabel and Ralph. They’re both such lovely dogs and Goose clearly had a great time playing with them. Goose came home very happy and well looked after. I’d happily book with Kayley and Milly again and would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for someone trustworthy to look after their dog, thanks so much xx”
“Nellie and Lucy had a wonderful stay thank you for all your kindness and care! I wouldn’t hesitate to ask you to look after our two little treasures in future, much appreciated Heather”
“We were nervous about leaving our rescue staffie Ty for two nights as we have only had him for 7 months and he had been in the dogs home for 6 months. Clare was very friendly and it was obvious that Clare loves her own dog Ruby and put us at ease right away. Clare sent us lots of pictures of Ty on walks with her dog and playing in the garden in a paddling pool during the extremely hot weather. I would not hesitate to have Clare look after Ty again.”
“I liked Kelly and Tolu instantly. They are calm and caring, It's the first time I have sent Belle to a dog sitters, she had a lovely week, felt right at home. They sent me updates and photos , I was so happy not to have to worry about her. Highly recommend.”
“Wilf had a great time with Chloe and Anthony. They looked after him for a night and we had updates and photos throughout on walks and at playtime so we knew he was ok and enjoying himself. Wilf would definitely love to stay with them again! Thanks guys x”
