“We couldn’t be happier with the care Andrew provided for our cat, Phoebe, while we were away. From the very beginning, Andrew was professional, kind, and incredibly attentive to Phoebe’s needs. He kept us updated with photos and messages, which gave us such peace of mind knowing Phoebe was in such caring hands. When we returned, Phoebe was calm, happy, and clearly well looked after — her litter was clean, food and water were fresh, and she even seemed to have enjoyed the extra playtime and cuddles. Andrew went above and beyond, and it made all the difference. We feel so lucky to have found such a reliable and genuinely caring sitter. We highly recommend Andrew to anyone looking for someone trustworthy to care for their furry family members. Thank you again, Andrew — Phoebe can’t wait to see you next time!”
“Absolutely Brilliant! Our cats love Anita and she is brilliant with them. She goes over and above to give a 5 star service. We are returning customers and would definitely recommend.”

“Jo took the time to learn our kitty Mr G’s quirks, asked about his routine, and made a plan to keep him happy while we were away. She gave him love, attention, and sent us adorable updates. Friendly and approachable, Jo put us at ease from day one. You can’t go wrong hiring her - we’ll book again! ❤️🐾”
About: Hi, I’m Jenn! I am a proud cat mum to Garfield, and a cool cat auntie to Ollie and Sully. I am starting studying to be an occupational therapist at university, and have a passion for helping others wherever I can. My best friend Garfield was a stray kitten found in a bin nearby and taken to my sisters workplace at a vets, where we first met and fell in love with each other. I have limitless love for all animals, especially cats and if I could rescue them all, I would!
About: Had pets since young and love cuddles and looking after them. Then went on to study animal science at Newcastle university to learn about welfare. Then once finishing uni started pet sitting for family and friends range of animals. This mainly involved dogs. My sitting style would change for each dog. For younger, energetic dogs, I provide longer, more active walks and enrichment play to help them learn and burn off energy. For older, more relaxed dogs, I go at a calmer pace, taking them on gentle, shorter walks and keeping them company to ensure they feel comfortable and happy. My walks are more adventurous, taking place in greener areas and forests away from main roads to provide a safer and more peaceful environment. This is my first starter job so I am free for whenever, where ever. Always there to look after animals so will work around personal time I care for pets by making sure they are safe, comfortable, and happy at all times. I exercise them regularly, play with them, and give them time to relax and chill. I follow their usual routines and pay close attention to their behavior and needs. To keep environment clean, and make sure they feel loved and secure.
About: I’m a registered veterinary nurse and have worked with animals since I was 15. We’ve always had pets in our home and currently have a German short haired pointer called Bonnie and two cats we’ve rescued. I love walking and training our dogs. I work shifts but as long as I have notice I’m happy to walk/house sit any days of the week currently as my work can be flexible. Our house is pet friendly and we have quite a large garden that’s all fenced off. We also live with field access outside our home which helps when taking them out for walks
About: I have over 20 years of hands on experience caring for my own pets and have been running my professional dog walking and pet sitting business for the past 2 years. I’m confident and experienced with all breeds and sizes, from large breeds such as German Shepherds and Labradors to smaller breeds including Pomeranians and Cockapoos. Your dog’s safety and wellbeing are my absolutely priority - I am fully insured, DBS checked and trained in pet first aid and CPR. I provide reliable, loving care tailored to each dog’s individual needs, ensuring they feel safe, comfortable and happy while in my care. I’m currently a full time professional dog walker, and pet sitter. Therefore, my time would be very flexible to fit around you and your pets. I live in the countryside so take them on long walks around the reservoir or if I am sitting at your house, I would take them on a couple walks a day and give plenty of cuddles, love throughout the day!
About: I’ve taken care of all sorts of pets in my life, cats, rabbits, fish and my favourite of all, dogs! My friends and family all know I am reliable and trustworthy which is why I’m usually the first choice to pet sit. I’ve helped with the training of my aunties puppy and I’ve also walked, fed and bathed all different sizes and breeds of animals. I’m currently working part time, so I have plenty of time to care for and play with your pets! I’m quite flexible with when I can board as sometimes I work from home. Please do not hesitate to request any times or dates and I will work to accommodate you as best as possible. As of now I am only doing shorter stays with the boarding in my home, upto 5 nights. As of April I rescued an American bully mix, he was in a very bad way and was still the most loving amazing dog. Now he’s in perfect health and absolutely loves cuddles / playing & making doggy friends. Please bare this in mind while booking boarding in my home, he is a big softie but if your dog does not like large dogs or dogs in general then we would not be a good match for boarding in my home. A meet beforehand is always recommended, please feel free to enquire any other questions! I have a fully fenced good sized garden.
About: Hi! I'm a university graduate based in Greater Manchester. I have experience with different domestic animals, cats, dogs, rabbits, hamsters, parrots, and even some insects. I absolutely adore every animal I've cared for and have taken pride in providing a caring and enriching experience for each one. I love learning about each animal and their behaviour to provide them with a fun and comfortable environment whilst their loved ones are away. I have previously owned rabbits, stick insects, a hamster, and I currently have an American bully puppy. If you have a large dog I only require that they are well behaved on a lead. I’m currently quite flexible and will be focussed on caring for your pets during my time with them, including lots of play time and attention. I like to stick to your pets usual schedule so they experience the least amount of disruption possible. So just let me know what their usual day looks like. I will always look after your home well whilst I’m caring for your pet.
About: I have always grown up around dogs with my parents having dogs since I was little. Since moving out me and my partner have now gotten a dog together. I love animals and enjoying taking care of them. I currently work from home three days a week and will update my calendar accordingly so have the availability in the week to help those days. I can be available in the evenings also just drop me a message! I am available most weekends & update my availability weekly. If your pet is to come to mine I have a big fenced garden with my own dog to play with yours! If your dog isn't great with other dogs no worries, we struggled with my dog at first as he has anxiety but working with him he is great now. I know how to handle dogs whether they need a cuddle or want to be left alone or if dogs are protective over food etc I can handle this as my parents dog is the same.
“When it came to taking my cats back, they didn’t seem eager to leave whatsoever. Alex did a stellar job of looking after my kittys, I can’t recommend her enough especially as she was available to take them in the early hours. Will be using Alex again if needs be!”
“Zac has been absolutely amazing helping with my dogs while I’m out. He’s reliable, caring, and I can tell my dog loves his visits! It’s such a relief knowing my dog is in safe hands when I’m not home.”
About: I love animals more than anything. Your pets will get extra training, loads of playtime, cuddles and they'll come back more relaxed and happier than ever before. My biggest commitment is to the animals in my care. Giving them my full attention, making sure they're happy. My week is mostly free, so let me know what you need and I'll do my best to accommodate. The way I see it, I'm entering their safe space, it's not mine! Staying calm and gentle, but also establishing those important boundaries so they feel safe too is the first thing. My focus is entirely on them, paying close attention to what they might need, whether its stimulation or a calmer environment, making those adjustments. Being ready to adapt constantly.

Sally was amazing from the introduction visit to looking after Bella she was great. Bella who is timid normally, went straight to Sally! Sally sent a video & photos during my time away (only a couple of days this time ). Clearly Bella trusted Sally & that was very important to me. I shall definitely use Sally again.
Zobia was completely fantastic with my cat. We went away for 7 days and I had let her know that he is anxious and that it worried me to leave him. Immediately they hit it off and I had never seen him so affectionate towards a new person! Zobia is kind, caring, nurturing, attentive and made sure he was happy and well looked after. We got regular pictures and updates which helped ease my concerns too! Would highly recommend Zobia
I had Nicola look after my little treasure Bella (Tuxedo cat) for four days while I had a short break. Nicola came tor an introductory visit first & Bella who is a timid little girl until she gets to know you, came out as soon as I gave Nicola a couple of treats to give to Bella. I knew then that they would be fine & Bella would be well looked after. Bella was really well looked after & I will certainly be having Nicola again. I am very happy with the care given.
