“Pheobe is amazing, super caring and took time to understand what Lizzie (my dog) wanted from a walk. We got updates and pictures detailing every walk, we booked again midway through our first booking and wouldn't hesitate to tell others to book Pheobe”
“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!”
About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs with special needs, including blind dogs - handling feeding, walking, and offering the gentle guidance they need to feel safe. I’m confident and comfortable with dogs of all sizes, from tiny terriers to large breeds, and I quickly build trust with even the most nervous pups. Dogs seem to sense I’m one of their kind! I own 2 cats who require constant attention, feeding 2-3 times a day, letting them go outside more times than I can count, and keeping up with their ever-changing moods and demands like a full-time personal assistant. I make sure every pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable, whether they’re in my home or theirs. I follow routines closely, from feeding schedules to walk times, and always give lots of attention and affection. I create a calm, secure environment, keep everything clean, and ensure pets are never left unattended for long. I also send regular updates to give owners peace of mind while they’re away.
About: I have had cats, dogs and various other pets since a very small age and I adore them. I would not have a home without pets.

Term time I am available weekends and home during the day. I have a fenced garden property. I have two cats of my own to keep your pet company. I can keep my own cats separately from your pet as I have a three storey house. I can keep your cat in a crate if preferred . I do have a dog she is a Yorkshire terrier, who gets on very well with my cats. However I will keep her separate from your pets so they are feel safe and comfortable.
About: With over six years of hands-on experience working on a petting farm from the age of 14 to 20, I’ve cared for a wide range of animals — from livestock to a variety of dog breeds. Growing up in a dog-loving home, especially with high-energy breeds like collies, has given me a deep understanding of canine behaviour, needs, and personalities. Whether it’s providing calm companionship or active playtime, I’m confident handling dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I work full time as a teacher but I am free most weekends and evenings! This also means I’m off during school holidays all day so can cater for all pet needs in that time! I have a fenced yard with a border collie. Our home is dog and pet friendly! We live close to good walks for all the doggy walking needs!

About: I have often cared for doggies and cats of many kinds, for neighbours so walking, feeding, bathing and caring for them is something I have always enjoyed within my life. I am also looking to expand my experiences with different pets, and make more memories. I am currently a university student, at The University of Central Lancashire. I always have plenty of time to care for pets in the evenings, whether that be walking or caring for them for a set period of time. I am able to take on roles and accommodate them across Greater Manchester, due to having a student dorm in Preston and then my family home in Heywood. Although not having a pet myself currently, I did have a Yorkshire terrier who has unfortunately passed. Benji will always hold a place in my heart. My home and neighbourhood is very pet friendly. My home is large, with plenty space for pets to explore and not only my garden but many fields across the road where the pet may play.

About: I have lived in the Littleborough area with my dog Lister for a round a year. My main experience is bringing him up from a puppy to now. I am looking to socialise Lister more and thought looking after another pup in the daytime would be ideal. I am open to boarding , dog sitting at my home, also dog walking and dog visits if close by. I am a home worker with occasional office visits. When I am at home I walk my dog Lister every morning and lunchtime. I do work away sometimes but would be able to give plenty of notice on these dates. I would be able to be flexible to hours including day time and evenings. The only day I can not do is Wednesday as I will be in the office on those days. If dog boarding I might be able to accommodate with enough notice. I have a small fenced yard and a friendly 2 year old Cockapoo. He enjoys other dogs company and going on his walks. I live in a terrace house on a quiet road. There is a park and playing fields within 2 minutes of my home. Also the possibility of walks at Hollingworth Lake or on the Rochdale Canal.
