“I would highly recommend Mia to anybody looking for someone to take care of their pets! My dog Dougall can be quite energetic and boisterous so I was really apprehensive when looking for someone to walk him when I returned to work full time. Mia’s calm and confident approach completely put my mind at ease and I knew from our first meet and greet that Dougall would be in safe hands with her. Mia is responsible, trustworthy and above all else a genuinely lovely person who clearly loves animals and enjoys taking care of those entrusted to her. Dougall is always so well looked after and so content when I get home from work and I can see from the regular updates I get that he’s had a really good, long walk which is exactly what he needs. I’m so happy we found Mia and I can’t thank her enough for everything she does!”

“Jeff is truly amazing at what he does. Both Oscar and Chester adore him, and my wife and I feel so comfortable knowing our fur babies are well looked after. Nothing is too much trouble for Jeff. He is kind, caring, and highly experienced in his work. I have always had issues with Oscar pulling while walking, making our walks more like an Olympic marathon. However, in just a week since Jeff has started, Oscar is now walking by my side and not interacting with other people or dogs, making the walks stress-free for both of us. Thank you, Jeff, for your incredible work!”


3. Christia H.

“I felt very comfortable with Christia walking Rosie, we chatted about her experience with elderly dogs so I felt happy leaving my dog in her care. She sent me some photos of Rosie on their walk and Rosie looked to have a great time. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Christia to other pet owners in the future.”

10. Faye B.
About: Hi there 👋🏻 I’m Faye from Paws Adventures 🐾 I am currently returning to dog walking after taking a break whilst fostering and having my baby. Now that my little one is starting nursery I’m happy to say I have more time on my hands to begin dog walking again. I have experience working with a variety of sizes, breeds and temperaments. From fostering foreign dogs I have also gained a lot of experience with nervous dog who have behaviour issues. My services include - Drop in visits (suitable for puppies, elderly dogs or dogs that require certain needs) - 30 minute walks - 1 hour walks - Adventure walks Adventure walks are typically 2 hrs long and are perfect for dogs with high energy or ones that love extra stimulation. An example of these walks are Dove Stones reservoir & Tandle Hill country park. All walks include fresh walks and training if desired or needed with lots of treats, toys & stimulation to meet your dogs with a terrific walking experience. Feel free to contact me with any enquiries you may have and I look forward to meeting you and your beloved dog 🐾❤️ I am currently available on Tuesdays & Fridays in the Grotton OL4 and surrounding areas to provide my dog walking services to you. I am hoping to increase these days and hours as my little one grows. I can only offer dog walks at this moment in time however I am more then happy to do drop ins to your home as well.

12. Georgia P.
“Here's a testimonial for you: Georgia has been absolutely amazing with my dog! She recently house-sat for me while I was away for a week, and I couldn’t have asked for better care. My dog instantly warmed to her, and I came back to find him happy, well-exercised, and relaxed. Georgia took care of everything, from daily walks to making sure he was comfortable at home. She’s now my go-to dog walker, and I always feel at ease knowing she’s looking after my pup. Highly recommend her to anyone needing reliable, compassionate care for their pets!”

“Guinness had such a good time! Rosie was lovely, on time and most importantly had a really nice bond with my boy (Guinness). Rosie also sent us some pictures of their adventure. Very happy and will be booking again! :)”


14. Josephine B.
About: Ever since my mum had taken my 8-year-old self to meet a small litter of Cavachons, I knew I was in love with dogs. They had all been sulking from bath-time, until one of them had stumbled over to me and licked me. From that point, I knew I would forever want animals. Due to having recently moved to Oldham and away from my household with my dog and cats, I'm pet-less - and I don't want to commit to having an animal whilst I'm still settling in. This is why I would be honored for you to choose me as your pet-sitter, so I can give all my stored up love to your beloved pets when you're busy! I work a full-time job in the town center of Manchester from the hours of 9am until 6pm, from Monday to Friday. I am therefore fully available on Saturday and Sunday for any service, including house sitting. I'm more than happy to discuss this with the owner! I'm very good with keeping dogs under control when on walks and I don't panic (nor discipline harshly, which I see a lot of other people doing!) if the dog reacts to something.


15. Ashlie R.
“I couldn’t think of someone I’d trust more to look after someone’s pet than ash. Not only is she kind, considerate and caring towards not only pets but pretty much anything, she also has a lot of experience looking after animals as well. She already looks after her own rescued dog, Mika, who is her families little staffy and has a lovely relationship with her, but she also meets many other dogs on a daily basis. This is due to her sister being a professional dog walker and bringing them over to the house, so she has a lot of experience meeting dogs in all shapes and sizes, and she loves every minute of it. She’ll always be sending videos over giving them a stroke and showing what they’re getting up to. She also has a great relationship with my own dog, Willow, who is basically in love with her, we genuinely can’t keep them away from each other! They’re always playing or cuddling on the sofa. I really couldn’t recommend someone enough and you’d be lucky to have her.”

“Super helpful and great service from Jordon x”


17. William O.
About: Having grown up with larger dogs and owned my own I would definitely say that larger dogs are my preference. I have gained an experience in handling medication for animals and administering them as required. I do currently work full time Monday to Friday and play football Saturdays. Pet care would ideally be in the evenings 7 days, or Saturday mornings/evenings and all day Sunday. We have a 3 year old Doberman who is an absolute wreck-it Ralph, but a total sweetheart. She is walked, exercised and trained daily. A wonderful girl


18. Charlene C.
About: I am owner of a senior dog, and I have 13 years of experience with dogs. I also attended pet first aid course from St. John, so I am able to take care of dogs with special care. I’m currently job seeking, mainly working at home, so I have plenty of time taking care of your dogs/cats ! I can take care of them weekly and daily. I’m living in a quiet area, and have a fenced yards and a senior dog to accompany with. Make sure your pet is safe and comfortable.


19. Aaliyah W.
“I’ve known aaliyah since we were young and we’ve both always had a lot of pets growing up, we went on dog walks together as kids and now she pet sits for me and my husband all the time years later (we have 5 dogs and gerbil 😬) but she’s great with them, her whole entire life is animals, her study, her personal life, her jobs etc, i’ve never met someone so passionate about them so yeah trust me she’ll enjoy doing this more than anyone lol, if she can handle my bunch she can handle any of yours.”


20. Owen K.
About: I will be upfront in saying although it’s 11 years experience my true experience in adult life is much more around the 4/5 year mark. My family and I lost our baby girl around a year ago and miss her dearly, i spend a lot of free time looking at dogs/cats homes and always end up incredibly sad I can’t offer these amazing guys home, I want the companionship that these pets bring but it’s unfair of me to bring one into my parents home whilst they’re still not ready, Rest assure any pet will be my number one priority and get all the love they deserve, I know first hand the stress our pets can go through when we suddenly disappear and that’s why I’ll strive to make them as happy and comfortable as possible until your return, I currently work from home however on Wednesday I do go into office. I currently work from home 4 days a week with Wednesdays in office, on a flexible working pattern, this means should your pet need specific attention at specific times e.g walking pattern is 11-12 I can make this work and have no rush or qualms. The only times I would imagine being outhouse would be to attend the gym which would take up around 1-2 hours other than that no pet should be alone any longer than this The pet will be spoiled rotten unless instructed otherwise if I’m honest. They will be treated like they were my child and would get the most from me
