About: Hi, welcome! I’m an experienced, animal obsessed, fully insured dog walker based in Knowsley, Merseyside. My experience working within the animal industry started in 2011 when I started work within an cat rescue center, since then I’ve worked with rescue dogs, wildlife, an equestrian center, a dog groomers, dog shop and within dog daycares. Ontop of my hands on experience I have gained multiple animal based qualifications including my BTEC Extended Diploma in Animal Management, FdSc in Equine Science, Complementary Therapy and Natural Horsemanship, BSc (hons) Equine Science and qualifications in various animal therapies, pet first aid and dog training. I’m constantly seeking to learn new things and upgrade my knowledge adding to my ever expanding collection of regulated qualifications. In my personal life there isn’t very many animals I haven’t had experience with! From large farm animals such as cows, llamas and water buffalo to smaller animals including rodents and invertebrates, there isn’t many species I don’t have experience with. I also dedicate most of my free time to training and completing in the thrilling sport of Flyball. I currently have another part-time job consisting mainly of evening shift, I rotate my dog walking around this. I recive my rota 2 weeks in advance, but can request set days off with notice. I unfortunately can not take pets within my own home due to my own pets. All services will start and end at the owners home. I only offer 1:1 or same household walks, I'm first-aid trained and fully insured. Dogs are only aloud off lead in safe areas and once proven they have an solid recall.

About: I've had numerous pets since I was a child and I have looked after pets for family and friends when they've been away. I've looked after both cats and dogs and I'm comfortable with any size animal. I'm currently working part time so have plenty of free time. I get my work schedule a month in advance so easy to plan. I can be pretty flexible with my schedule so any additional needs let me know. I'm happy to discuss any requirements or expectations with yourself to make sure that your pets needs are put first. Any questions just ask me.

“Karen has made everything so easy. This is our first time hiring a dog walker and we couldn’t be happier. Digby loves Karen which totally puts our mind at ease, knowing that he is being checked on and walked whilst we can’t be there. Karen is so friendly and easy-going and she gives Digby so much attention when she sees him! We have booked Karen for repeat walks every week and will continue to do so as long as she will have us ☺️”

About: I originally got into this job as my one off my mums friends was struggling to find a pet sitter. She had 3 cats and two dogs so i can definitely handle a busy house. I have pet sat them multiple times for short and extended periods off times and never had an issue. As well as this i have my own pets, a malshi called Coco and a little cat called kitcat. Apparently we are a fan off chocolate flavoured names in my house. I’m currently at Uni studying architecture so i have a very flexible schedule specially over summer.Just some details about me and my services.When i’m house sitting walks are included into the price off the night stay as well as i won’t be taking any other clients for other things so it optimising the amount off time I am with the fur baby’s.I do require a meet and greet before making bookings and I apologise in advance the millions off questions I will be asking. I really believe sticking to the pets normal schedule creates the most relaxed environment for them. This is really important to me when I’m being introduced to there space. I’m currently in University so i am able to do regular visits through the the day as well as fully available on the weekends. i’m very much a morning person so very happy to do morning visits before my day starts. There is nothing more important to me then the safety off your animals.I will require a full explanation off any habits or health concerns your baby’s have. I may ask you to fill out a form when i feel it’s required.

“Looked after my boy at very short nice and provided a great service. Very polite and on time. Followed instructions and provided a package I could only wish for. Great person and very much recommended.”

About: After recently stepping away from a full-time role in emergency services, I’ve decided to slow down, try new things, and reconnect with what brings me joy. And for me, that’s animals, especially dogs! I’ve been around animals my entire life, having grown up on a farm surrounded by everything from horses and cows to cats, rabbits, and of course, dogs. A cherished memory from my childhood is spending time with my nana, who bred Labradors and proudly took part in Crufts, so dogs have always been a big part of my life. Caring for animals feels like second nature to me. I truly believe dogs have a unique way of helping us heal and making every day brighter. They’ve been a huge source of comfort and happiness in my own life, and I love nothing more than seeing tails wag and happy paws trot around. I’m passionate about the outdoors and love long walks in nature, whatever the weather. Your dog will be treated like one of the family, getting plenty of love, attention, and fresh air. If you're looking for a safe, loving home-from-home environment for your dog, I’d be honoured to look after them. Since leaving my full-time role in the emergency services, I’ve been focused on creating a life that works for me and my daughter, one that’s slower, more intentional, and filled with things that bring us both joy. This shift has given me the flexibility to be present, both as a parent and a pet carer. I’m home most of the day, which means your dog will never be short of attention, love, or company. I plan my work around walks, playtime, feeding, and downtime. always making sure your dog feels safe, relaxed, and part of the family. I follow each dog’s routine closely, including feeding, walks, medication (if needed), and any specific care instructions. I take time to get to know each dog’s personality, needs, and boundaries to ensure they feel at ease. Trust is so important — I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your dog is happy, safe, and being well looked after while you're away.

About: Loving and experienced dog sitter with a safe, fun home! I’ve cared for many friends' and family’s dogs while they’re away and have plenty of experience. While I don’t have a pup of my own right now, your furry friend will get plenty of love, attention, and playtime with my energetic 7-year-old. With a large, secure back garden, they’ll have space to run, play, and relax while you’re away I currently work part-time Monday to Wednesday, with Wednesday as my work-from-home day—perfect for caring for a pup with a lunchtime walk. I’m fully available on Thursdays and Fridays, giving your dog plenty of attention, playtime, and outdoor fun! Your dog will feel right at home in my loving, family-friendly space! I have a large, fenced back garden for safe play, a playful 7-year-old ready for fun, and beautiful walking spots nearby. Your dog will get plenty of love, attention, and exercise while staying with us!

About: I’ve owned a cat for 18 years but I also have 2 years’ experience in looking after a large dog. I spend most of my days caring for humans & my spare time caring for animals! I work shifts so I can accommodate most days/evenings. I work 2 weekends per month, but I can always call in before or after work. My availability only filters out holidays not my shifts, but shifts are provided to you upon booking so you can decide if it is suitable. I don’t currently offer services in my own home because I have an elderly cat who would be upset, although in your own home I will care for your pets exactly as asked by you. Your home will be secure and well looked after by me.

About: I grew up with a few German shephers and cats. I currently live with a very anxious 3 year old puppy called Ella. To ease off her anxiety I went through a number of owner training sessions and I believe these will benefit other dogs too, anxious or not. I am working flexibly from home and would be able to schedule a walk or a drop in visit easily. Just give me a day or so notice :) I will initially schedule an introductory visit to meet your dog. We can then discuss how the visits or walks will work depending on your circumstances.

About: I have many years experience with dogs of all breeds, ages and sizes. I deal with working dogs, dogs with issues and pet dogs alike, everyone is welcome! During a stay with me your dog will be loved like my own, and any of their current training/structure will be maintained throughout their stay! Please note, this does not include additional training, beyond maintenance of what you’ve already done with your dog! I am usually home the majority of the day, only taking short trips out as and when needed, like taking my son to nursery etc. Dogs that stay with me will ideally need to be crate trained, this would just mainly be for overnight. I will keep to their current routines as much as possible, and any current training will be maintained in the home and on walks. If they are good with dogs they may get chance to mix with some of my dogs, and if not that’s also fine!

About: Hello fellow pet pawrents! My name is Michael, and like you, my world revolves around our incredible animal friends. From their playful antics to their comforting purrs, I genuinely believe there's nothing quite like the unconditional love from our pets. I grew up surrounded by dogs and cats, my passion runs deep! I'm thrilled to offer dedicated care that ensures your furry family members are happy, healthy, and safe, whether they're out exploring or cozy at home. Why Choose Me for Your Beloved Dog? Tail-Waggin' Adventures: For me, a walk isn't just about covering ground; it's an adventure tailored to your dog's needs. Whether your pup thrives on a brisk trot through the park, a leisurely sniff-filled stroll around the neighborhood, or needs plenty of engaging playtime, I ensure every outing is enriching and mentally stimulating. I focus on fostering positive experiences, building confidence through new sights and sounds, and burning off that happy energy in a safe and enjoyable way. Safety First, Always: Your dog's safety is my absolute top priority on every single outing. I'm highly attentive to their surroundings, potential hazards like busy roads or unfamiliar dogs, and always keep a keen eye on their comfort, hydration, and overall well-being. I will always adhere to any specific instructions and their individual temperament. Building Trust: I believe in building a genuine, loving connection with every dog I walk. I'm patient, kind, and dedicated to earning their trust through positive reinforcement, consistent commands, and plenty of praise and affection. Your dog won't just be getting exercise; they'll be gaining a reliable and trusted friend who understands their cues and loves their quirks. Drop-Ins for All Your Pets! Dog Drop-Ins: My drop-in visits for dogs are the perfect solution for puppies not yet ready for walks, senior dogs needing frequent bathroom breaks, or any canine who prefers the comfort of their own familiar surroundings. I provide essential relief breaks, ensure fresh water and meals, administer medications if needed, and offer dedicated playtime and cuddles right in your home or garden. Cat Drop-Ins: Cats are unique creatures, and I deeply respect their need for comfort, routine, and a sense of security. My cat drop-ins are designed to minimise stress and maximise their happiness. Whether it's a quiet visit for feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, or gentle playtime with their favorite toy, I adapt entirely to your cat's individual personality and preferences. I ensure they receive the attention they desire, without ever forcing interaction. Observational Care & Communication: For both dogs and cats during drop-ins, I am highly observant. I pay close attention to their eating habits, water consumption, litter box use (for cats), toilet patterns (for dogs), and overall demeanor. Any changes or concerns, no matter how small, will be promptly communicated to you, providing you with complete peace of mind that your furry family members are thriving in your absence. My Promise to You: You can rest assured that when your dog or cat is in my care, they are receiving the highest level of compassionate, reliable, and professional attention. I treat every pet as if they were my own, with endless love, patience, and enthusiasm. I understand the immense trust you place in me, and I'm committed to providing you with complete peace of mind, knowing your furry family members are happy, healthy, and safe under my watchful eye. Let's chat about how I can give you peace of mind. While I currently balance pet care with a full-time role, my goal is to dedicate as much of my time to your furry friends! This means my regular availability is focused on weekends. However, if you're in need of evening walks or drop-ins, please reach out! I'm always happy to explore how I might be able to accommodate your needs. I understand how important your home is, and I promise to treat it with the same care and respect I give to your pet. You'll always find your space left exactly as it was, providing you with complete peace of mind.

About: My dogs are my family, not pets! My older brother was a cocker spaniel called Skip! I've never been without a dog of my own and I am also drafted in by all my friends and family to look after their puppers for a day, a weekend or longer when they are away on holiday. My best friends are Miniature Schnauzers, Whippets, French Bulldogs, Yorkshire Terriers, Bedlington Terriers, Labradors and Springer Spaniels and I've learned a lot from them about what they need from their human families. I'm happiest outside with my 2 girls, Poppy and Holly - walking my dogs is my happy place! I devote all my time to my fur babies and am available all week, both days and evenings, to help keep your puppers happy when you have to be away from them. I'm happy to stay with your pets in their own home, as well as walking them in locations and areas that are familiar to them. In my experience, the familiar places and smells helps your puppers to stay calm and happy when they can't be with you. I know how bad it feels leaving them, even if its just for a few hours, so I'm happy to pop in for quick garden breaks, or longer walks - whatever your fur babies need to make sure they are happy!

About: Hi! I’m Zara, and caring for dogs has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember — from childhood through to today. I’ve grown up surrounded by dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and needs, and I truly understand how much love, patience, and attention they deserve. My experience includes: • 🐶 Senior dog care – I grew up with a gentle, elderly Golden Retriever, so I’m familiar with the extra support and calm routine older dogs need. • 🐕 High-energy & timid breeds – I currently help care for our beautiful Hungarian Vizsla rescue, Serbi, who came to us frightened and unsure. In just a few months, he’s blossomed into a playful, affectionate companion, and I’ve loved being part of that journey. • 🐩 Small breed care – I’ve spent the last 13+ years looking after my auntie’s Cocker Spaniels, my dad’s Cavachon (for 4 years), and now my own Cavachon, Benji, who’s 2 years and 3 months old. I also help with my dad’s Cockapoo Biscuit — Benji’s playful best friend who is a similar age with lots of energy! I treat every dog as if they were my own, giving them loving, reliable care tailored to their unique personality and routine. Whether your pup is playful, shy, senior, or just in need of some extra TLC, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and right at home. Let me know how I can help care for your furry family member — I can’t wait to meet them! 🐾❤️ I work from home so I am very flexible. I have full access to my own car with lots of room to transport the doggos to and from walks safely with doggy seat belts. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priority. I offer a loving, secure home environment where your pup will feel like part of the family. I live in a fully secured home that’s dog-friendly, calm, and perfect for both playtime and relaxation. Your dog will also have the company of my two well-behaved, friendly dogs: Benji, my gentle 2-year-old Cavachon, and Serbi, our sweet Hungarian Vizsla rescue. Both are incredibly social and love the company of other dogs, and equally respect other dogs space also. Benji has grown up around his cousins — including Rufus the Vizsla, Jasper the Cavachon, and Biscuit the Cockerpoo — so he’s used to making new doggy friends and loves having playmates around. Serbi has mirrored Benji’s social nature since joining our furry crew and would love the company of some more doggos! Whether your pup is high-energy or a bit more reserved, I always provide a safe, supervised space where they can feel secure and loved. I monitor all interactions closely to ensure everyone gets along well, and I give each dog plenty of individual attention. From cuddles on the sofa to fun in the garden, your pet will be treated with the same care and respect I give my own. I also provide regular photo and video updates so you can relax and enjoy peace of mind knowing your furry friend is in great hands!
