“Daniel and his partner took such good care of our dog, Allie. She had such a wonderful time and we really appreciated all the photos and speedy communication. Would heartedly recommend!”
“The best sitters we’ve used. It’s clear Jenna and her lovely daughter took the best care of Ted. Super friendly, lovely communication and it looks like he had a great time. Would happily recommend but don’t want them to be so popular they can’t look after Ted again!”
“Thank you for looking after Alfie & Charlie so well. We really appreciated the daily video updates and both our boys looked so chilled when we returned from holiday. If we ever fly from Manchester Airport again, we will definitely rebook”
“Carmy loved Laura! She took him to his favourite park everyday and was very patient with him while he settled into her home. Carmy can be very playful and she embraced his side of him along with her beautiful calm natured dog Ollie who Carmy adored.”
“Cathy was absolutely wonderful with our cockapoo Jeffrey, she made him and us feel totally happy and comfortable leaving him with her for the weekend. We had lots of lovely updates whilst he was there and he looked very settled. Cathy was a pleasure to deal with as well - thank you!”
“This is the 2nd time Mylo has stayed with Nicole, Thank you for taking such great care of Mylo. Mylo was looked after wonderfully, and the photo updates were very much appreciated. Mylo will definitely be back!”
“Ed and his family took great care of our Morkie Sparky while we were on holiday. We enjoyed the updates and pictures while we were away and made us confident he was being looked after well. We also appreciate the added responsibility Ed took of taking Sparky to the vets after an unexpected illness. Although stressful to hear this news while we were away, we were kept informed and also had the support of Rover.com to ensure Sparkys needs were met and he recovered. Would definitely recommend Ed and his family and would use them again - Sparky had a great time! 😄 🐶”
“Natalie and Marco were so lovely and made me feel really comfortable leaving Bruno with them. We received lots of pictures and updates so could relax on our holiday knowing he was happy and being well looked after. Thanks again to you both!”
About: I’m a lifelong dog lover and current owner of Seamus the Sprockerpoo. I grew up with collies and labradors, and I love going on long, energetic walks. On school holidays and weekends I'm available throughout the day for walks, toilet breaks and meal times, I can cater to your dog's schedule. I have a fenced garden with a friendly male sprockerpoo for company, with quick access to the canal for walks. Dogs have access to the whole house.
“Matthew was excellent with my dog, Luca. I immediately got a sense of calm when I went to visit before her stay which is important for her as she can be quite anxious, but I knew from then on that she would have the best time, especially when Matthew asked if she liked long walks. You can tell they are a family of genuine dog lovers and they went out of their way to make sure that Luca’s stay was as enjoyable as possible. I highly recommend Matthew!!”
“Rosie had a wonderful time with Sarah and Kevin while we were away on holiday. We did a meet and greet beforehand, which was great as it meant everything was familiar for Rosie when we dropped her off. They also took the time to ask about her usual routine and kept to it while we were away. Rosie had plenty of walks and was clearly very happy and settled. We really appreciated the daily updates and photos and loved seeing what she’d been up to. Thank you both for making it a real home from home for Rosie while we were away.”
“Amanda was fantastic - she treated Buddy as if he was her own and provided regular updates throughout his stay. He’ll definitely be coming back! Would highly recommend.”
“Our dog Gloria had a lovely stay with Megan, we often worry because Gloria can be a little bit of a diva and has some separation anxiety. But Megan was great with her and adapted to her needs. She kept us up to date with how she was getting on too which made us feel really at ease. Would definitely like to book her in to stay again and would definitely recommend Megan.”

“We booked our cocker spaniel Daniel in with Michael for an overnight stay having previously booked him for a daycare session. I honestly can't recommend Michael enough, he is super reliable and responsive, he is so attentive to Daniel with lots of walks, playtime and cuddles and sends regular updates and photos. My husband and I had a great relaxing weekend away knowing that Daniel was in such safe hands with his friend Michael.”
“Another great stay for Flo with Liza and her family. She loves staying with them and always seems happy and settled. I always get regular updates and know that she is well looked after.

About: Hi, I'm Gina! Please note: Due to household allergies, I can only accept hypoallergenic or low-shedding dogs. I'm a genuine dog lover with hands-on experience caring for dogs of different breeds, and personalities. I've had family schnauzers since I was 10 years old, so caring for and being around dogs has been a big part of my life for many years. In addition to looking after my own dogs, I regularly care for my in-laws' Tibetan Terrier whenever they go away on holiday. I'm also often trusted by friends to look after their dogs, whether that's for walks, feeding, playtime, companionship, or overnight care. I understand that every dog is unique and has their own routine, personality and needs. I'm committed to providing a safe, loving and reliable environment where your dog will be treated as if they were my own. Whether your pup enjoys long walks, lots of playtime, or simply relaxing with company, I'll make sure they feel happy, comfortable and well cared for while you're away. I know how important it is to have peace of mind when leaving your pet with someone, and I'll happily keep you updated with photos and messages so you can see how they're getting on. I look forward to meeting you and your furry friend! 🐾💕 I currently work full-time however am working from home 3 days a week! During the week I’ll regularly walk in my local area, either exploring Stretford Ees, Sale Waterpark or going along the River Mersey. On weekends I have time for longer walks and exploring new areas. I live in a two bedroom house with a fenced paved garden. My house that leads right out to Stretford Ees making me in the prime location for dog walks. In the house we can make your dog perfectly comfortable in any room of the house depending on their needs!

“Groot could not have been happier. He had a great time and came back home at the end of the day tired but with a big grin on his face.

Teddy always came home happy and loved his days with Sarah! Would definitely recommend.”

As a result Pebbles was noticeably excited to return for her second day with Ka Man ❤️”

“Stan had a brilliant time at Sarah's, a testament to her, that he actually ate when he was with her. Stan normally won't eat his food for around 12 hours if I'm not around, even with my husband, so for Stan to eat is a huge sign he was happy. He came back tired 🤣 obviously been a busy boy. Thanks for taking such good care of Stan Sarah and we look forward to seeing you next week 😄”

About: I’ve always had dogs in my life - from my first family dog growing up to my soul dog, Lucy, who me and my boyfriend, Joe, have now! We’ve always been happy to take care of other dogs no matter their age or size. This means we’ve had experience with 2 puppies, right up until caring for a senior dog who had multiple illnesses and required medications and extra loving. I’m work from home Monday-Fri, and Joe works fairly flexibly so there is usually at least one of us at home. We have our own dog so she is always built into our plans and we often like to take day trips out in our campervan to give Lucy a fab day out. We have a safe, enclosed garden with plenty of room to run about and our living room door backs onto this so we can always keep an eye on pups playing outside. Lucy isn’t crate trained but we’d be happy to accommodate a crate if provided.

About: I’ve had dogs all my life. Sadly having recently lost our family dog of 15 years I’m looking to fill the big gap left in my heart. Not wanting to totally commit to another dog at the moment, I would love the opportunity to care for others as my own in our dog loving family home. With more than 40 years experience of all kinds of dogs, and other animals I’m well equipped with all the tools and most importantly patience and love to care for your furry friend. Our dog was a rescue who came with issues which we managed to work through enabling him to live a happy 15 years with us. I will treat yours as my own, being mindful to respect any rules and values you may have, offering plenty of walks, love and affection. I’m currently working part time from home which means I am extremely flexible and have plenty of availability. I am generally at home and would enjoy the company of a dog in the house again with me as we lost our dog of 15 years and miss him terribly. I am happy to drive a short distance to collect or do home visits and walks. There are no young children in the house, we are all confident, experienced animal lovers especially dogs. Our dog always slept in his own bed, either downstairs or in one of our bedrooms at night and was generally not allowed on the sofa or beds unless invited. Any dog would be treated like part of the family and we would accommodate any particular needs as best we can. I would always respect the rules that you have for your pet as I appreciate how frustrating it can be when these are not adhered to. I have experience of caring for both young and old. There are currently no other pets in the house and I would only ever have a maximum of 2-3 dogs at a time depending on their individual requirements and temperament and assuming they are tolerant of others and happy to have playmates. We have a large garden which is fully fenced and secure.
“Katie was absolutely amazing with my dog. She walked him in the pouring rain just so my dog could have his walk even though I would’ve happily rescheduled. He came back so happy and tired. Thanks Katie!”
About: As a recent Animal Science graduate and aspiring Veterinarian, I have spent years gaining experience caring for dogs. This has involved caring for my own dog, the pets of friends and family and working in a doggy daycare. My experience ranges from puppies to seniors and end of life care. Every opportunity I have been given to look after dogs I have thoroughly enjoyed and I look forward to meeting your pets too! I work part-time on a fixed schedule, which means I know my availability well in advance, allowing your pet and me to establish the 'paw-fect' routine! My shifts are never longer than four hours, so I will never be away for extended periods of time. I have two full days off each week and plenty of availability around my work shifts, giving me lots of time for walks, drop-in visits, playtime and overnight stays! I believe the most important thing a sitter can do is ensure the pet sticks to their normal routine. Following the instructions you provide me, I will make sure that your pet has a comfortable sit and stays happy and relaxed whilst they are away from their family. Additionally, I will take special care when opening doors and gates in your home. On hot summer days, I will walk them in the early morning or later in the evening to keep your pet safe. If there are any particular concerns, please let me know and I will keep them in mind during my time caring for your pet. Also, I have an enhanced DBS check to give you extra peace of mind.
About: I’ve been around different kinds of dogs all my life. My sister has a dog called Nala who I look after while she’s out or on holidays. Love to make dogs feel happy and loved. My main priority is keeping your dogs safe and well looked after I have looked a variety of dogs and I always cater for their needs and take them on lovely walks. I’m currently working part time remotely from home but I can fit my work around looking after pets. I can pet sit in my home. I don’t have any other pets. It’s just myself and my daughter who loves having the dogs. I have a fenced with a gate front garden. I have a ginnel with my neighbour with a locked gate with a key which leads to my back garden which is fenced and has a locked gate. Plenty of space and very safe so they can be inside or out. I can leave my back door open for the dogs to come inside and out. I have quite an open downstairs so the dogs have room to venture around.
About: I’ve looked after dogs and cats for as long as I can remember and have always been the person friends and family rely on when they need someone dependable to care for their pets. I currently have a 3-year-old cocker spaniel called Ozzy, so I understand the importance of routine, exercise, patience and giving dogs the right balance of attention and calm. I also regularly look after my mother-in-law’s 4-year-old lab, Max, which has given me experience caring for larger, energetic dogs with different personalities and needs. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding, play, overnight care and sticking closely to routines that help pets feel settled and secure while their owners are away. I know how important trust and communication are when leaving your pet with someone else, so I always aim to provide thoughtful, reliable care and regular updates throughout. I work from home, so my routine is very flexible and I can plan pet care around each dog’s needs. I’m available for dog walks and home visits on weekdays between 11:30am and 2pm, and I’m also available at any time on weekends. I’m happy to work around regular routines, whether that means a steady walk, a lunchtime check-in, feeding, playtime, or simply giving your pet some company while you’re out. For walks and visits, I focus on keeping pets safe, settled and cared for in their usual routine. I’ll follow any instructions closely, make sure they have fresh water, food if needed, and give them attention, play or a calm walk depending on their needs. As a dog owner myself, I’m attentive to behaviour, exercise needs and giving dogs the right balance of play, structure and downtime. I always take time to understand each pet’s routine, personality and any specific requirements so they receive care that feels familiar and consistent. I’ll always keep owners updated, so you know your pet has been looked after properly while you’re out.

About: I’m a lifelong dog lover and current owner of Seamus the Sprockerpoo. I grew up with collies and labradors, and I love going on long, energetic walks. On school holidays and weekends I'm available throughout the day for walks, toilet breaks and meal times, I can cater to your dog's schedule. I have a fenced garden with a friendly male sprockerpoo for company, with quick access to the canal for walks. Dogs have access to the whole house.
“Matthew was excellent with my dog, Luca. I immediately got a sense of calm when I went to visit before her stay which is important for her as she can be quite anxious, but I knew from then on that she would have the best time, especially when Matthew asked if she liked long walks. You can tell they are a family of genuine dog lovers and they went out of their way to make sure that Luca’s stay was as enjoyable as possible. I highly recommend Matthew!!”
“Rosie had a wonderful time with Sarah and Kevin while we were away on holiday. We did a meet and greet beforehand, which was great as it meant everything was familiar for Rosie when we dropped her off. They also took the time to ask about her usual routine and kept to it while we were away. Rosie had plenty of walks and was clearly very happy and settled. We really appreciated the daily updates and photos and loved seeing what she’d been up to. Thank you both for making it a real home from home for Rosie while we were away.”
“We booked our cocker spaniel Daniel in with Michael for an overnight stay having previously booked him for a daycare session. I honestly can't recommend Michael enough, he is super reliable and responsive, he is so attentive to Daniel with lots of walks, playtime and cuddles and sends regular updates and photos. My husband and I had a great relaxing weekend away knowing that Daniel was in such safe hands with his friend Michael.”
“Sam is kind and lovely. Milo had been well loved and cared during the days staying with his lovely family. He is a dog lover and walked Milo several times a day. Milo definitely had a great time. I absolutely recommend him.”
“Winston had a great time with Melissa for a weekend! She sent lots of pictures of him having fun and lots of updates, it was great for him to play with other dogs and he was knackered when he got back home! Would highly recommend!”
“Yasmin is wonderful! The girls had a great time with her, and she kept me updated throughout their stay, which gave me real peace of mind. They’re already excited to see her again and go on some more fun walks!”
“Ellie has been great,she had my dog on a trial night and I will definitely book her again, very flexible, has updated me with photos and reassured me, my dog seemed to have settled really quickly.”
“Sophie and Luke were amazing with our spaniel Mabel! They made her feel at home straight away, so we didn’t have any worries at all leaving her in their care, Most importantly Mabel had a great time with Lola their lovely spaniel, and was lovely and tired when she came home, and a tired dog is a happy dog . Thank you Sophie and Luke 😊”

“Oakley and Joe took amazing care of our Cocker Spaniel x Lab, AJ! AJ came home very happy from his stay and we would absolutely book again with Oakley. Communication was excellent throughout and they kept us up to date with information and photos throughout the weekend. Oakley was also happy to be flexible with booking drop off and pick up times which was very helpful. Would 100% recommend!”
“We’ve had Rebecca and Jim look after our dog, Gizmo, for the third time now, and once again they’ve been absolutely fantastic. Gizmo is always exceptionally well looked after and comes home happy, relaxed, and clearly very well cared for — it’s obvious she genuinely enjoys her stays with them. Thank you both again!”
