“Georgia was the first time with Spike and Teddy, she provided regular pictures and Spike and Teddy seemed very comfortable with her. They looked well cared for when we got home. We hope to use Georgia in the future.”


“We are always hesitant to leave our little old girl as she has health problems and can get quite anxious but Laura made her feel at ease and in her own home which allowed us to enjoy our time away. Highly recommended.”


“Excellent communication, super friendly and willing to meet and go through things in advance. Karen was so lovely with our pets, one of them can be a bit nervous and timid, but he clearly loved Karen to bits and we don't hesitate to book her again. She took such great care of our home and all our furry, feathered and fluffy family members!”



“Ann was fantastic sending photos and updates daily. We would highly recommend and have her sit our dogs again.”


About: With a genuine love for animals, I ensure your pets feel safe, loved, played with, and cared for whether that’s a walk stay or playtime I work from home and take morning/ midday walks around lunch and stay active on weekends perfect for giving pets attention exercise and consistent companionship My house is sizable and allows for pets to roam/ play, I’m happy to be in your pets space to give them ease and comfort

“Lovely sitter and made sure Aero was well looked after, was very attentive and paid attention to all the details we provided regarding his care and also provided regular updates during the day. He's only 12 weeks old so had specific needs that were attended to as we had asked!”


“Jess has been the most perfect sitter! As soon as they met I could tell our dog liked her and was relaxed around her, we were sent photo and video updates too so we could see it was going well. Jess went above and beyond and we came home to a clean house, a made bed, and our bins were taken out for us as it was collection day! Would definitely recommend Jess and would use her next time we need a dog sitter. ☺️”


About: I am a calm, patient and playful person that loves animals! Ever since I was a young child, I grew up surrounded by animals, especially cats and dogs. I had to interact with all sorts of animals, so I’m familiar with their behavior and body language. I am a patient person, who respects personal space and understand when they want to be left alone. I also love playing with them and keep them entertained, stroke and groom them. I am currently on a gap year so I’m always at home. I am free all the time so I’m available any time of the day I live in a 3 bedroom house with a spacious fenced garden where your pets could spend some time outside if desired. I have a neutered 2 year old male cat that’s very friendly and loving, would go along with your pet. I am open to any requirements that you have.

About: I have had animals, dogs and cats all my life. Currently I’m a dog groomer who deals with all breeds, sizes and behaviours to which we do our best to cater for. I am trained in pet first aid and behaviour and done a further advanced course on pets, so have extra knowledge in areas that may help with jobs. I currently work 4 days a week 9-6, on Thursdays I switch between 9-6, 10-7 or 11-8. My days off switch every other week so can offer some sort of set schedule for clients and work around my working hours. I am a trustworthy person who will ensure your pets safety, getting to know your pet with a meet and greet to allow me to get to know the owner and the pets and if they need catering for differently.

About: I am a second year Zoology student at Bangor University, and so have vast knowledge on animal care and behaviour, as well as being a huge animal lover! I currently own 4 ducks and a budgie, but in the past I've had several hamsters, rabbits and other birds. My favourite animals are cats but I am a lover of all and so am happy to take on pretty much anything! I've pet sitted both cats and dogs for family friends and would love to do more. I also spent 2 weeks volunteering in a Wildlife Sanctuary in Ecuador, working with a multitude of different animals 🐒 I have finished University for the summer and am free for the next few months to take care of many animals. ❗Unable to take any bookings after September 10th as I can't guarantee my schedule I am unable to care for pets in my own home currently as my landlord doesn't allow it, but I do have a car and am happy to travel to owner's homes :)

“Very easy going and polite, house found as left, would definitely recommend and use again”


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.

About: I have experience caring for dogs with anxiety and special needs, ensuring they feel safe and comfortable while you're away. I understand that anxious dogs require patience, structure, and a calm presence, and I tailor my approach to their unique needs. ✔️ Experienced with Anxious Dogs: I recognize signs of stress and use positive reinforcement, soothing techniques, and familiar routines to help ease their anxiety. ✔️ Slow & Gentle Approach: I let nervous dogs set the pace, avoiding forced interactions and creating a space where they feel secure. ✔️ Maintaining Their Routine: I stick to their usual feeding, exercise, and comfort rituals to minimize stress. ✔️ Calming Techniques: I use soft tones, gentle movements, and enrichment activities to keep their minds engaged and relaxed. ✔️ Regular Updates: I provide frequent check-ins, photos, and videos so you can see how they’re doing. I know how important it is to leave your dog with someone who understands their needs. I’d love to provide them with the care and comfort they deserve! As a self-employed personal trainer, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate quality time to pet care. Since I set my own hours, I can plan my training sessions around pet visits, ensuring that your pet gets the attention they need without feeling rushed. ✔️ Flexible Availability: I can accommodate morning, midday, and evening visits, as well as overnight stays if needed. ✔️ Active Lifestyle: As a fitness professional, I love staying active, which means plenty of walks, playtime, and exercise for high-energy dogs. ✔️ Balanced Schedule: My work allows for breaks between training sessions, so I can check in on pets throughout the day. ✔️ Reliable & Consistent: I prioritize maintaining a steady routine, which is especially important for anxious pets or those needing extra care. Pet care fits seamlessly into my lifestyle, and I truly enjoy spending time with animals. Whether it’s a long walk, a cuddle session, or just keeping them company, I make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. In my home, pets are treated like family—they have full access to cozy spaces, including sofas and beds, because I believe they should feel as comfortable as possible while away from home. Whether they love to cuddle or need their own space, I make sure they feel safe, relaxed, and loved. ✔️ Spacious & Comfortable Environment: My home has a big enough living room where pets can lounge, play, or nap without feeling cramped. ✔️ Secure Outdoor Space: I have a fenced garden, providing a safe area for pets to run, explore, and enjoy fresh air under supervision. ✔️ Home Comforts: Pets are welcome on the furniture and can sleep in the bed if they choose, just like they would at home. ✔️ Plenty of Attention: Whether it’s belly rubs, playtime, or peaceful naps, I ensure they get the love and care they’re used to. ✔️ Exercise & Enrichment: Daily walks, interactive toys, and fun activities keep them happy and engaged. ✔️ Routine & Familiarity: I maintain their feeding and potty schedule to minimize stress. When caring for pets in their own home, I respect their routine and provide a calm, familiar presence while you’re away. I ensure they stick to their usual schedule, feel safe in their space, and get plenty of love and companionship. No matter where they stay, I make sure every pet feels at home!

“Wendy was absolutely amazing with my anxious yet excitable german shepherd. She dealt with her perfectly and really put my dog and myself at ease whilst I went out for a few hours. We received picture updates and you wouldn't have thought my dog had separation anxiety at all. Highly recommended and will definitely use her services again 😊”
