About: I always wanted dogs growing up, annd have often cared for friends’ pets when needed, and when I moved to Whiston I finally got the chance to have one full time - my ex-partner’s family dog needed to move, and we took him in. As we’re no longer together I don’t have him any more, and I would love to be able to give the care and attention to pets who need a home from home. I’m comfortable administering mediation (the dog mentioned took 4 different tablets, twice a day) and promise to always provide them with as many walks, playtime and treats as they want (treats within moderation obviously)! My work is hybrid so I’m able to be at home a lot, and I would never commit to taking in a pet if there was a chance I couldn’t be at home with them all the time. When working from home I can be flexible to ensure I can match your pets normal routine as closely as possible. They’ll also provide me with the perfect distraction to procrastinate! Although the back garden is unfenced, I would never leave your pet there unsupervised. I do have a fenced and gated front driveway. I would stick to your usual routine as closely as possible - pets are allowed wherever they are comfiest in my house, so they’d have full and complete roam of the house to make sure they found their most comfy spot! I’ll send photos and updates every day to let you know how they’re doing and what we’ve been up to for your peace of mind!
About: I’m available for dog walks in the evenings, weekends, and Friday afternoons. I love getting to know each dog’s personality and making sure they have a fun, safe, and relaxing walk. I can tailor the pace to suit your dog’s needs, from energetic walks to gentle strolls. Happy to send photo updates and keep to your routine. 🐾 Whether you need a reliable dog walker, cat sitter, or someone to check in on your pets while you’re away, I’ve got you covered. I love long walks, cuddles with furry friends, and making sure every pet feels safe, happy, and cared for. I’m fully DBS-checked through my full-time role, and will bring the same professionalism, responsibility, and reliability to every pet I look after. At home, I have three cats of my own, and grown up with a variation of different dogs, from Dobermans to Jack Russels, so I completely understand how much your pets mean to you 💕 🕒 My Availability Before 7:30am: Quick morning walks or feeding visits Weekdays: House sitting available if pets are comfortable being left during working hours (approx 7:30am–5pm) After 5pm (Mon–Thu): Evening walks or drop-ins Fridays after 3:30pm: Extended walks or pet sitting Weekends: Flexible for walks, sitting, or overnight stays 💬 A Little Extra I’m patient, calm, and genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality. I’ll treat your pets like my own and keep you updated with photos and notes after every visit 🐾 When caring for pets in their own home, I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and relaxed in their familiar environment. I follow each owner’s routine closely, from feeding times and walks to medication and play, so everything stays consistent while you’re away. I’m fully DBS-checked through my full-time role, which is security focused, which means I take safety and trust very seriously. I’ll never share your personal details or access areas of your home unnecessarily. During visits, I double-check doors and gates are secure before and after walks, ensure water bowls are full, and always tidy up after pets. I send regular updates and photos so you can see how your pet is doing and feel confident they’re happy and well cared for. At my own home, I maintain a calm, pet-friendly environment with plenty of enrichment and affection for my three cats, so I completely understand how important it is for your pets to feel loved and secure.
“Victoria is so lovely, she truly and genuinely loves animals and looked after my cats and dog perfectly. I felt very happy leaving them with her and knew my gorgeous babies were safe with her when I went away. The house was so clean and tidy too when I got home! Can’t recommend her enough xx”

“Viktoria is always diligent, caring, communicative, and most importantly our dogs love her! She always goes the extra mile, she’s thoughtful, clean and tidy when she stays over to house sit, and we’ve had her back many times. We certainly will do again!”

“Megan looked after our dog, Meg, when we went away for a few days. Meg has never been left at home or in kennels when we’ve been away and at 13 years of age we didn’t fancy putting her in kennels - she’s quite an anxious dog! Megan came to our house and we went for a couple of walks so Meg could get to know Megan so even before we went away we were comfortable with our choice. Megan sent regular updates while we were away and Meg was absolutely fine when we got back - no anxiety because she’d been in her own environment. Megan is lovely; she loves dogs ♥️and we have absolutely no worries about leaving Meg in her care again. Definitely recommended 5* 😊”

“The best people I have met so far! My dog is anxious one and they did everything he would get comfortable. What a support! I recommended to everyone and bear in mind! They are so lovely! My Zorro took them (her) in and for him it’s not easy! Overall I recommended highly!!!!!!”

About: I have a pet dog who we raised back home in the south who I raised since he was 6 weeks. We trained him to do above average levels of commands until his illness took root and we had to reduce the exercise he had. But always able to provide fun and friendly care for animals! I’m currently not working so I’m available all day and weekends of daycare, boarding or pet sitting. I’m an outdoorsy person and couple so walks will always be common with any services. I have a ground floor pet friendly apartment with a riverside greenery area just outside common with city suburbs dog walkers for socialising, walks and playtime
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since the age of 14. As I was never allowed a dog growing up, I was the neighborhood/ family friend dog sitter. Looking after small - large dogs pet sitting in their homes as well as dog walking I was the go to girl. I have a dog of my own now and he will be fun company for your dog. I work from home permanently so your pets needs will fit into my work schedule very easily. Whether I am pet sitting in your home or dropping by my full attention will be to your animals. I do have a frenchie of my own who gets along with both cats and dogs and he is playful but also super lazy. I have a friendly frenchie who can keep your pet company if you welcome him into your home for overnight stays. He is also crate trained and fully house trained. As well as looking after your pet I will make sure your home stays well maintained and leave no mess behind. My dog loves parks and walks and with my work schedule my afternoons are usually pretty quiet. This will enable a lot of play and exercise depending on your animals needs.
“Rosey was fantastic! She was very communicative from scheduling our intro meeting, to follow up texts and pictures while she stayed with our dog for two nights at our house. I’d highly recommend her and would love to have her back again in the future!”

“Constance was an absolutely brilliant dog sitter! Our dog had a great time with her, she gave us really nice and regular updates, and she also left the house really clean and tidy! Would highly recommend!”

“Sarah looked after our house and dog for three weeks. Absolutely no concerns at all. Sarah kept us updated and sent us photos of our dog and he was clearly very happy and well looked after. Would definitely recommend Sarah.”

About: Always had animals from being so little, we had a golden Labrador when I was 11 and she was my baby. I now have a cat who I love to bits. Animals are just the best thing on earth! So Monday Tuesday Wednesday isn’t possible for me as I work 7-7 but the rest of the week I don’t work so I can fit around the cat/ dog perfect! So I have a huge garden with fencing around. I do have a cat but she’s really friendly with dogs and people, she can be with cats but that just depends how the other cat is around her.
“I cannot praise Alicia enough. She took absolutely fantastic care of my doggy Nelly and lovely Cats Baloo and Bear. Alicia went above and beyond in her care of them and nothing was too much trouble. Alicia's communication was spot on, she kept us up to date regularly and sent wonderful photographs. We were totally confident that our pets were happy and receiving lots of loving care. In addition, we came back to an absolutely immaculate house. We have already booked Alicia for pet sitting in December and she will definitely be our go to person when we go away in future.”

“Melissa was so caring and conscientious looking after my dog Majky, who has medical needs while we had a weekend away. I was nervous to leave him and my other pets but she honoured all of my requests and attended to all his needs. Majky can be a difficult dog to win over and he needs a lot of attention but Melissa was very patient with him and he had a fantastic time while she was pet sitting, as seen in the photo updates she sent me. I will definitely be booking again in the future and recommending her to my friends.”

About: I have hands-on experience caring for a wide range of pets, including dogs, cats, small animals, and puppies. My background in education has taught me to be patient, observant, and highly attentive—qualities that translate directly into excellent pet care. I’m confident handling energetic pets who need active engagement as well as calmer or senior animals who require a gentler, more structured routine. What sets me apart from other sitters is my combination of reliability, genuine affection for animals, and strong communication skills. I make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and stimulated while keeping owners updated with regular photos and messages. I’m experienced with basic puppy training, reinforcing positive behaviours, and maintaining consistent routines. I’m also comfortable supporting senior pets with slower-paced walks, medication reminders, and extra care when needed. My goal is always to make your pet’s time with me feel like a second home—safe, fun, and full of love. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine because I have plenty of availability and genuinely enjoy spending my time with animals. I’m flexible with scheduling and able to accommodate daytime, evening, and weekend bookings, which allows me to adapt to each pet’s needs and routine. Whether it's regular walks, drop-in visits, or longer stays, I’m able to give pets consistent attention, exercise, and companionship throughout the day. I plan my schedule around the pets in my care, making sure they’re never rushed and always get the time, patience, and engagement they deserve. Safety and trust are my top priorities whenever I care for someone’s pet. Whether I’m looking after them in my home or in the owner’s home, I create a calm, structured, and secure environment so pets feel comfortable and owners feel confident. In a pet owner’s home, I follow all routines exactly as instructed—feeding schedules, walk times, house rules, and any special needs. I make sure doors and gates are always properly secured, keep a close eye on the pet’s behaviour, and maintain a clean, tidy environment. I respect the owner’s space and ensure their home is left just as I found it. I also provide regular updates so owners always know how their pet is doing.

Amazing from start to finish, was booked in originally and I completely changed the location and amount of dogs, but Meg accommodated to us without a hesitation. Our boy absolutely adored her and doesn't always take to everyone but did to her. She made our wedding day run easier as the dogs were one less thing to worry and stress about, especially when Meg sent us updates all night with pictures. Would highly recommend and will be booking in with her again.
