“Bettyna is amazing, she went above and beyond to accommodate my pets, she took great care of them, walked my dog regularly and my cat absolutely loved the catio in the garden. I was receiving constant updates and them as well as lots of pictures. An amazing family who loves and cares for animals. Can’t thank her enough for helping me on such short notice”
“Lots of updates, pics & videos. Kwan & her family were so welcoming to Mimi from the moment I dropped her off. Mimi looked like she had a great time during her stay, will definetly be booking again!”
“Bruna looked after our puppy Luna for 11 nights. We did an initial meet and greet and straight away knew Luna would be well cared for with Bruna and her family. We received daily updates and photos whilst we were away and felt very reassured. Luna is only a young puppy and high energy but Bruna continued with our routine and training methods whilst we were away. I would definitely use Bruna again to look after our dog and would recommend her to any dog owners. X”

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 🐾”
About: I’ve grown up in a family of dog lovers, caring for furry friends of varied breeds and sizes from a young age. My current little one, Millie, started house-training at 10 weeks old and is now a happy, well-adjusted 8 year old, who loves her daily walks and playtime. I also have plenty of experience with senior dogs, from my dearly missed 15 year old staffy to my current 10 year old chihuahua, Shyla. Caring for dogs has always been a second nature to me & is something I truly love and take pride in. I work fully-remote from home during the week therefore I am always available to tend to pets throughout the day. I am fully available all day for the majority of weekends. I have a medium sized, fenced back garden with enough space for pets to roam and play. I currently have 2 small sociable dogs of my own, I have no concerns with bringing another dog into the home as long as there is an opportunity for them to be introduced and get familiar with each other.
“Thank you Vivian and your husband for taking such good care of my two cats. You gave me daily updates right on time, spent extra time playing with them and even looked after one of them who has some respiratory issues with great attention. You were friendly, polite, and very thoughtful. I’ll definitely come back to you next time I need cat boarding!”
“I would highly recommend Nicole to look after your pet. Nicole provided lots of pictures and updates and as this was the first time leaving my puppy this provided me with lots of reassurance. Connie loved staying with Nicole and without a doubt I will be asking Nicole to look after Connie again. 🥰”
“Claudia looked after our dog for 2 nights, during this time we had regular contact and updates, it’s safe to safe our boy loved been looked after by Claudia. Claudia met us before agreeing to look after our boy to ask questions and to answer any we had, from this moment we felt very comfortable leaving our boy with her, would definitely recommend, Thankyou!”
“Karolina looked after my very nervous cat and naughty chihuahua when I was moving house. I was quite apprehensive but Karolina immediately put me at ease when I dropped them off and she welcomed the pets. She knew exactly what to do to calm them down and I left feeling reassured they were in good hands. She sent me some cute photos of them during the day and they looked perfectly comfortable. I would definitely go back to her and would recommend her.”
“Joyce and Steve were brilliant with Ralph. We had an initial meet up in which Ralph was introduced to them and they got to know everything they needed to about him. Throughout his stay I was kept updated and he came home a very tired dog. I will have no hesitation in using them again.”
“From the moment we dropped Mabel off, it was clear that she was in great hands. Mabel had a lovely stay with Nicola, Rebecca and Teddy. We received regular updates, including photos and messages, which gave us total peace of mind. We could tell our pup was well cared for, happy, and comfortable the entire time. She had a great time playing with Teddy in the garden, snuggles on the sofa and even got treated to a pub trip. We highly recommend Nicola to anyone looking for a caring, responsible, and communicative sitter. We’ll definitely be booking Mabel in for a holiday again soon!”
“Our Frenchie has had as good a time as us on holiday Great communication with Wes, did prior dog walks and stay over to ensure our Frenchie fitted in with Wes’s lovely pair of Frenchies. Wes kept us updated with pictures and allowed us to relax whilst on holiday. Would highly recommend Wes as a dog boarder and will definitely be using Wes again. 🐶”
About: I have been around dogs all of my life and trained them. I currently have a four year old Miniature schnauzer who I have nurtured since she was a pup. She is well trained and great with other dogs. I have a caring nature and have always worked in the social and care sector. I currently work full time weekends and I am available from Monday to Thursday. I have a dog of my own, a four year old miniature schnauzer. She is good with other dogs but meet and play would be necessary. I have a fenced garden, I also have a four year old female miniature schnauzer who has been spayed. I live across the road from Potters vets. I take my dog Penny in the car to the beacon three times a day as well as random walks. Weather permitting. I also use rover pet sitting services for my dog Penny when I am in work at the Weekend.
“Cosmo had such a great day with Emily! I was kept up-to-date with photos etc and it was clear Cosmo was having a blast - he was absolutely wiped out after, and I got a bit of peace in the evening! He was having too much fun during the day :) 10/10 would 100% recommend Emily and will definitely send Cosmo again.”
“I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter for Willow. I don’t leave her very often, so I was naturally quite anxious, but James put me completely at ease from the start. Willow seemed to feel at home as soon as she walked through the door. James treated her as if she were his own, giving her plenty of love, attention, cuddles and treats throughout her stay. I received lots of photo updates, which was so reassuring, and it was clear from the pictures that she was having the best time. When I collected her, she was so comfortable and settled that she happily carried on playing while I chatted with James about her stay, which says it all really! I wouldn’t hesitate to leave Willow with James again and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a caring, reliable and genuine dog sitter. Thank you so much for taking such great care of her! 🐾❤️”
“Ziggy had a wonderful time with Christine and her lovely son. He settled quickly and loved having a little buddy to play with. I received updates, photos and videos on him enjoying walks and playing fetch in the garden. He was extremely relaxed and happy when I picked him up, and I hope he can stay again.”

“Ching was absolutely brilliant. We knew we wanted to go with a sitter this time around after our cat had a bad experience at a cattery. Ching’s visits were perfect as our cat could remain in the environment they are familiar and comfortable with. We also appreciated the check in notifications along with the message updates and photos to keep us posted on how each visit went, which gives that additional peace of mind while away. We will definitely reach out again the next time we go away. Thanks again for taking such good care of our cat!”
“Christina was lovely. Second time we booked her to look after our 2 cats. She was updated us every day with photos and followed our instruction. We definitely book her again .”

“Isla has taken amazing care of our three cats. Her love for animals is clear to see, she has established a great connection with them in a short space of time through her empathy, calming pressece and kindness.

“Danielle is a fantastic cat sitter, who was able to put my (normally anxious) cat immediately at ease. She’s helpful, professional and super friendly. Having her look after Millie makes going away from home that little bit easier. Thank you, Danielle! ”
“Indiana has been brilliant from start to finish, i couldnt recommend her enough. She is quick at responding and came round for a meet and greet within a few days, her experience and knowledge showed in conversation. She has provided really good updates on my cats whilst ive been away including pictures which i loved. She communicated if there was any problems with getting to my house on time which i appreciated. Ive been able to relax knowing my babies are in good hands. I will use her again in the future.”

About: About 20 years ago, our family got two miniature Schnauzers and I've been a dog lover ever since! Now that I've moved out and now live with my fiancee (Raissa, pictured) we miss having the company of dogs and before we get one of our own would like to trial having them in our lives on a more short term basis. We both work from home, so can have someone at home at all hours of the day. We have no children in the house and a secure garden. We have recent experience of looking after dogs for weeks at a time and know lots of good walks near our home too! Ideally looking for smaller hypoallergenic dogs, but would be open to other breeds. We both work full time for the same company with one office day required per week which we do on Weds and Thursday - so someone is always at home every week day. Generally we'd be able to take the dog out in the morning before work, at lunch, after work and evening if required. We have a back garden which is fenced and leads onto a quiet avenue. Generally keep dogs on lead until I can build up trust that it will come back on command. Will be cautious around other dogs without avoiding them and allowing social time when we've built up confidence. Love cuddles and playing in the house but won't allow dogs on the bed or the sofa without covers.
“Sophie has now looked at Maggie a couple of times. She went out of her way to come and meet Mags as it was too hot to take her out and I get regular updates through the day. She seems settled very quickly and cloud is a lovely dog as a companion.”
“Piggy had a great time with Caitlin and Jak for doggy day care! Communication was great prior to the booking and they were accommodating to her needs. We would be more than happy to rebook in the future 💕🐾”

I only take one dog at a time to keep things calm and safe. I’m happy with any feeding and walking patterns, and keeping owners updated with regular photos and messages for peace of mind. I’m quite selective with the dogs I take, as it’s important to me that it’s the right fit for both your dog and my family. I tend to look after small dogs but I will consider medium sized if it’s a fit both ways 😌 I can honestly say that your dog gets treated like part of the family while they’re with me 🐾 I work from home full time during the week so if your pet comes to me, I’m here all of the time! If you are local to me, I can also pop into your home during the day. Weekends, my whole family tends to be here and if we go out, your pet won’t be alone for long or we will take them with us!

This gave me experience in clear handling, reading body language early and making sure every dog feels understood and safe. All pets in my care get treated like my own consistency, kindness and respect. I can follow routines whatever they may be, and I’m extremely reliable and communicative. I’m comfortable with every breed and personality! I keep updates consistent so you always know how your pet is and what they are doing so your never wondering what’s happening. Looking after other people’s pets fits really naturally into my weekly routine. I already have structured daily routines so adding walks, drop-ins or care for your pets is easy for me to integrate without rushing or cutting corners. I stay consistent, organised and present so your pet gets calm, relaxed care every single time. My dogs get walked twice a day and have plenty of active playtime in the garden in between. I also use enrichment + puzzle games daily to give them mental stimulation, problem solving and calm focus so it’s not just physical exercise it’s balanced brain work to. When they aren’t in play or training they nap and decompress.
About: I am a naturally quiet and calm person, which allows me to be a peaceful companion for your pet. I never rush my visits and am always happy to sit quietly with a shy cat or a nervous dog until they feel completely comfortable with me. Having looked after my cousin’s dog for a week, I am well-practiced in managing strict feeding schedules and ensuring pets get their exercise and toilet breaks exactly when they need them. Most importantly, I hold an Enhanced DBS certificate (on the Update Service), so you can have total peace of mind that your home and your pets are in safe, reliable hands I am a Weekend Specialist, available every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Whether you are heading away for a long weekend or just need extra help during the busy end of the week, I am here to provide dedicated care. I treat your space with great care and keep everything tidy and follow your instructions for feeding, fresh water, and exercise. I ensure all 'toilet breaks' happen on schedule to keep your pet comfortable and keep letting you know that your pet is happy and relaxed
About: I have taken care of dogs for the past few years and enjoy being around their company. I have spent lots of time with friends & family furry friends. I have experience with puppy training, dogs of various sizes. I have recently had a baby and would love to continue work thats more flexible. I am a very reliable person, honest and would love to spend my time caring for your doggies like they are my own. I am available most weekdays and weekends at the moment. I am home regularly caring for my daughter so looking for flexible schedule. I will be happy to accommodate around your schedule to help out.

I would help make sure they got fed on time, and help assist the puppy training.
About: Since a very young girl I begged my dad for a dog. After many years, he finally caved and we got our first family dog. Billy was our whole world for 10 years and was considered the third child of the family. I took him on hikes, swimming, and of course he cuddled with me every night. My love for dogs is something that can’t be contained, and sadly for my boyfriend we have to stop at every single dog that walks past. I have over 10 years of experience with a dog, including many other people’s dogs; walling them, taking care of them whilst they are on holiday, and treating them like my bestfriend (they all are). I’m excited to hang out with some new friends and take them on my daily walks and adventures. I’m currently self employed which allows me time most days of the week to walk your dogs & spend a fun day with them! I have a car to drive to take us on outings and adventures when it fits. I have a moderately big back garden for your dog to play in, all fenced and gated. I live right infront of the fields with lovely walks all around.
About: Over the years I have looked after family and friends pets when they are on holiday or whenever they are busy. After moving to Wigan I am longing for a four legged companion to go for walks and to care for. I have 3 years experience of looking after dogs. I am currently work remotely from home as a video editor freelancer, so I have a ton of time and full attention to look after your pet. I currently live in a 3 bed house, with an fenced garden. We don't have any pets at the moment but would love to get one in the near future. We also have plenty of places to go for walks in our area. I am currently working remotely whilst my partner works part-time remotely so there will always be someone at home watching over your pet. We also love looking after pets during the weekends as we love going on longer walks then. For boarding, we have a fenced garden where doggies can stretch thier legs and go potty. We also ask you about your pets daily routine and stick to it as closely as possible to make it more comfortable for your pets.
About: I live alone so my full care and attention will be for your gorgeous pet. Not having pets myself means I thoroughly enjoy the experience of looking after others. I work a variety of different jobs, but also can work from home so I am flexible with dog sitting, walking and overnight stays. Can also accommodate last minute bookings. I have a large fenced open garden with a patio area and a large grass area. I live right on the canal which is perfect for long walks.
About: My name is Roseane, but many people call me Rose. I’m Brazilian and I live with my husband and my Corgi, Ruby. I used to do Rover a few years ago before I had Ruby, but I’ve returned so she can have some company to play with. I already have a few regular dogs that I walk. If you have any questions, just let me know! I stay at home a lot, when I'm not there my husband is who also loves dogs, there's just me and him in our house I prefer to take care of him at home, we play a lot, I take him for walks two or three times a day and he has toys. Thank you.

“I would highly recommend Nicole to look after your pet. Nicole provided lots of pictures and updates and as this was the first time leaving my puppy this provided me with lots of reassurance. Connie loved staying with Nicole and without a doubt I will be asking Nicole to look after Connie again. 🥰”

“Our Frenchie has had as good a time as us on holiday Great communication with Wes, did prior dog walks and stay over to ensure our Frenchie fitted in with Wes’s lovely pair of Frenchies. Wes kept us updated with pictures and allowed us to relax whilst on holiday. Would highly recommend Wes as a dog boarder and will definitely be using Wes again. 🐶”
“Cosmo had such a great day with Emily! I was kept up-to-date with photos etc and it was clear Cosmo was having a blast - he was absolutely wiped out after, and I got a bit of peace in the evening! He was having too much fun during the day :) 10/10 would 100% recommend Emily and will definitely send Cosmo again.”
“I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter for Willow. I don’t leave her very often, so I was naturally quite anxious, but James put me completely at ease from the start. Willow seemed to feel at home as soon as she walked through the door. James treated her as if she were his own, giving her plenty of love, attention, cuddles and treats throughout her stay. I received lots of photo updates, which was so reassuring, and it was clear from the pictures that she was having the best time. When I collected her, she was so comfortable and settled that she happily carried on playing while I chatted with James about her stay, which says it all really! I wouldn’t hesitate to leave Willow with James again and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a caring, reliable and genuine dog sitter. Thank you so much for taking such great care of her! 🐾❤️”
“Ziggy had a wonderful time with Christine and her lovely son. He settled quickly and loved having a little buddy to play with. I received updates, photos and videos on him enjoying walks and playing fetch in the garden. He was extremely relaxed and happy when I picked him up, and I hope he can stay again.”
“Sandra looked after Storm for an evening and Storm had a great time and settled in so quickly with her and her partner. I got lots of videos and photos which helped put my mind at ease that Storm was having a great time. Storm can be unsure of new people, but Sandra agreed to a pre meet and also made sure she asked lots of questions so she knew how to best look after Strom. Storm also had a day visit with Sandra and her partner for a walk and had a great time. Thanks so much!”
About: My mum has always had an irrational fear of dogs so have never had the honour to own one myself until I moved away from home. Growing up I have often dog sat for my godparents who have 2 beautiful miniature schnauzers and my neighbours Jack Russell. Since I was 19, I was using borrow my doggy to get experience with different dog breeds and learn the needs of each pup. I work full time primarily working from home with the odd day on site. I love spending time outdoors especially now with my cocker spaniel pup! I have a 3 bed house with a wrap around fenced garden for your pup to roam around in. I don’t allow any pets upstairs so should your pup stay overnight, they need to be okay sleeping downstairs. As I have a dog of my own, I do not take on non-neutered male dogs and they must get along well with other dogs.
“Annabelle and her partner took such loving care of Boomer. Here’s a warmer rewrite that highlights **Anabelle as a warm person**: Annabelle and her partner took really good care of Boomer. I received updates every day and it was wonderful to see him so relaxed and comfortable in their home. Annabelle is such a warm and genuine person and we wouldn’t hesitate to board Boomer with her again.”
“I've been very happy with Dylan's care of Holly and Max. They clearly had a lovely time with Dylan and his partner. The dogs were keen to go out and explore the garden and didn't even look back when I left them the second time they stayed, so they were obviously settled and confident.”
“Wow, what a wonderful guy. Nothing was too much trouble, kept us updated with photos and the map route of his walks. You can just tell his adores dogs and they are in great hands with Francis. We will have no hesitation in using his service in the future. Once again thank you so much for looking after Miller for us so that we could enjoy our daughters wedding without any worries 👍”

“George loved his 3 day stay here. John provided constant updates so we always knew exactly where George had been and how he was settling in. They love each dog like it’s their own. We will certainly be using John again and I highly recommend him to anyone who is looking for a place for their dog to stay. Thank you!”
