House Sitting in Saint Helens

“Cannot recommend Anna enough. This was the first time I've ever had to leave my dogs with someone who wasn't family so naturally I was a bit anxious. From the initial meet and greet it was clear how caring Anna was going to be, she came armed with suitable questions to ensure she was going to give my dogs the VIP treatment. The updates whilst I was away were perfect and lots of gorgeous pictures of my babies! Will defo be thinking of Anna first if I need to leave them again.”

“Karen looked after my, sometimes anxious, rescue dog for three nights. I was able to relax knowing that he was safe and happy. Karen sent regular updates which were appreciated and Popsie clearly loved her. I always wouldn’t know that she’d been in the house - it was immaculate. Thanks Karen.”

“Rob was a fantastic house and pet sitter, best I've had in a long while! He was patient and compassionate with my elderly dog, engaging and fun with the younger pair and always had time to give the cats a fuss. He looked after the house as well as the pets and left it clean and tidy. Would definitely use Rob again!!”

“We couldn't have asked for a better house-sitter than Jordan. When he came to meet us and our dog, he was so polite and friendly, and clearly wanted to know all about her needs and routines. He provided lots of photos and updates throughout the time we were away. We got home to a very happy dog and a very clean and tidy house. He was extremely respectful of our home and attentive to our pet. We'd definitely ask Jordan to come and stay again! Highly recommend.”

“Lucy was fantastic with my dog, he seemed so comfortable to be left with her. I received updates with how he was getting on throughout the evening. We will definitely be rebooking! Thanks Lucy!”

About: Hi I love animals and for the last twenty years I have had the pleasure of sharing my life with cats, dogs, rabbits, hamsters, guinea pigs, bearded dragons, and fish. I have two rescue Greyhounds and have been volunteering for the Greyhound Trust and Home Run Hounds for 6 years. Prior to that I have volunteered for the RSPCA. I am currently completing an online course in dog behaviour and welfare. I have been a nurse for 30 years now working 9-5 Monday to Friday but with flexibility and my dream is to eventually work full time with animals. I'm currently working full time Monday - Friday (9-5) but there is plenty of time to help with animal care early morning, after 5pm and weekends. I volunteer at dog kennels 8-10.30am on Saturdays. I would not see fitting in animal care as a chore but instead a priveladge. Who doesn't love animal cuddles, obviously on their terms 🙂 My hope is to reduce my 9-5 nursing role and build up my animal care role. I have two rescue Greyhounds, one who is anxious and we are working on her reactivity which is through fear so at this time I am not offering home boarding however I am happy to come to you. Just let me know your routine and requirements and I will respect and work with you.

“Laura sat for us at quite short notice and she was fabulous! Our German Shepherd is a large bundle of energy and Laura made sure all of her needs were met- even with the hot temperatures!! We loved getting regular updates and seeing the Frankie was having a wonderful time whilst we were away and it was so comforting to know she was being so well cared for in her own environment. Laura came and met us and Frankie before the sit to make sure everyone was happy, and was completely professional from the minute we met her. Thank you so much Laura, we're so lucky to have found you 😊”

“India was fantastic! She communicated with us brilliantly, from making arrangements to for a meet and greet to sending us multiple daily photos and updates of what Peanut was up to while we were away. We felt our dog and our home was in really safe hands the whole time we were away, Peanut loved her and we won’t hesitate to book her again.”

“Outstanding!! That is the only word to describe the excellent service Natalie provides. I left my 5 year old Weimaraner Jerry for the 1st time for a family holiday with Natalie house sitting. I was nervous about leaving her but I needn’t have worried. Throughout our trip Natalie kept me up to date with messages, photos and videos of Jerry. Jerry had plenty of walks in her favourite places, play and cuddles. In fact I’m not sure she entirely missed us due to the high level of care and attention Natalie gave her. Even when snow and ice conditions meant it was impossible for Jerry to be walked, Natalie made sure Jerry had plenty to keep her happy and provided brain stimulation games and toys to keep her occupied and completely content. I really do feel like Natalie goes above and beyond to care. We returned home to a very calm and content dog thanks to Natalie. I even think Natalie may have provided an additional bit of lead training as Jerrys lead pulling has improved too. I will definitely be using Natalie’s service again and would highly recommend anyone to do the same.”

“Kylie was amazing with our cats, she looked after both of them really well, tending to their different personalities. very friendly, positive and easy to communicate with, with consistent updates on our cats. Would highly recommend!”

About: Hi, I’m Michael! I’ve grown up around dogs and cats my whole life, so I know exactly how much they mean to a family. To me, they aren’t just pets, they’re our best friends. I started Tail Waggin' Adventures because I wanted to give local dogs a chance to get out, explore, and have a bit of fun while their owners are busy. What our walks are like: I don’t believe a walk should just be a quick trip around the block. I like to make sure your dog actually has a great time. - If your dog loves a fast-paced hike, we’ll do that. If they’re older and just want to spend 30 minutes sniffing every single tree, that’s fine too! I follow their lead. - I’m always on the lookout for busy roads or other dogs to make sure everything stays stress-free. I’ll always stick to your specific rules and whatever temperament your dog has. - I want to be someone your dog is actually excited to see. I use lots of praise and treats (if allowed!) to make sure we become the best of friends. Check ins: If your pet prefers staying at home, I can pop in to help. I'll refresh their food and water, clean litter trays, and make sure they get some garden time and plenty of attention. I always keep a close eye on their behavior and appetite, and I’ll send you a quick update and some photos after every visit so you can relax. I’m fully insured and DBS checked, so you know your home and your pets are in safe hands. I always suggest a free meet and greet first to make sure I’m the right fit for your pet. Just send me a message and we’ll get it booked in! I work part time in my day job, which is quite flexible. This means I can usually shift things around to suit your schedule. While I'm wide open on weekends, I can often make mid-week or evening sessions work too. Every week can be a little different, so it’s always worth sending me a message, I’m happy to chat and see how I can fit into your pet's routine! 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: I've a lifetime of experience with dogs and cats 🐕. My boy Louie Cocker Spaniel is 5 years old and My son and daughter in laws dog Betsy French Bulldog is 6 and they are best friends. I live in a rural area so the dogs enjoy lovely walks in the countryside and in the local park enjoying meeting other dogs and exploring. My dog is my family and he enjoys freedom of the whole house and garden. Senior care is also something I have experience in and I recognise the limits of exercise between each dog 🐕 in relation to breed and age and they may need support regarding any medical issues and treatment. I will offer every dog a home from home experience and will ensure they receive the best of care and individual attention at all times when with me. They will always be in safe hands.Let me know your dogs routine and I will match it My dog is my priority ❤️ Plenty of time for dog walks and cuddles. My dog sits with me and follows me around all the time when I'm at home which I love. He also likes to join me on trips out and holidays , basically he is my best friend 🧡 He loves the company of other dogs is a great dog buddy ❤️ I live in a rural area surrounded by country walks. My cottage has an enclosed garden to ensure pets are safe. Dogs have free run of my home and sit wherever they are comfortable. If your dogs are crate trained and they prefer to sleep in the crate at night no problem bring it with them. They will have good company with my boy Louie Cocker Spaniel he is relaxed and chilled the perfect buddy for his doggy house guests They will enjoy regular walks as required or just relax and make themselves at home if that's what they prefer 😀

“2nd time Tilly's looked after my dog Nina, and again absolutely fantastic dog sitter. No issues, very professional and caring and kept me updated throughout :)”

“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!”

About: I work full-time as a professional dog walker and pet sitter, and caring for animals is something I genuinely love. My experience with dogs began while I was at university, where I regularly walked retired racing greyhounds, giving me valuable experience with different temperaments, energy levels, and individual needs. I pride myself on being reliable, trustworthy, and hardworking, always going the extra mile to provide the highest standard of care for every pet. I understand how important it is for owners to feel confident that their pets are safe, happy, and well looked after while they're away. For added peace of mind, I hold an enhanced DBS check, a Pet First Aid certificate, comprehensive pet care insurance, and a Pet Sitting and Dog Walking Diploma. I am committed to providing a professional, caring, and dependable service, treating every pet as if they were my own. I currently work part-time with early finishes through the week and have both Fridays and Saturdays free to look after your fur babies. I am more than happy for you to enquire about any services not listed and I am flexible as to the care of your animals- I will try my best to fit you in as and when I can always. When visiting your pet in your home, I will always follow the rules and routines we have discussed prior to offer you peace of mind and keep your pet as relaxed and happy as possible whilst you are away. If we are on a particularly long walk or I am minding your dog for a day or more we may visit my home where I have my own dog, providing your dog gets along with others. I have a secure garden and pet care facilities.

“Vikram gave us total peace of mind while we were away for a night for the first time since Ronnie had a spinal injury. We had been anxious about going away without him now that he’s a high needs dog, but Vikram was the perfect sitter, which made allowed us to totally relax. Great communication, thoughtful updates and we returned to a very happy dog. We’ll definitely ask him to look after Ronnie again and would recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring person for their pup.”

About: Hi! I’m a Veterinary Nurse and before this I worked in a cattery. I have over 10 years of experience caring for all kinds of cats and dogs, from cuddly lap-puddings 😻 to the spicy little gremlins we secretly adore 🌶️ and crazy high energy pups 🐶🐾 I recently lost my wonderful 18-year-old girl, Dinky, who inspired my passion for senior and medical cat care. I also have James, my cheeky 8-year-old boy who I hand-reared from a snotty, flea infested, scruffy 4-week-old stray. I have 2 Rescue dogs, Margot & Salta. They have given me hands-on experience with different behaviours and personalities. 🐾 Margot can be reactive around new people and other pets, while Salta is nervous in unfamiliar environments and around loud noises. Supporting them has taught me the importance of patience, consistency, gentle handling, and allowing animals to build confidence at their own pace. Because of this, I’m especially understanding of pets who may be anxious, sensitive, reactive, or need a little extra time and reassurance. I always aim to make animals feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in a calm, positive environment. 💛 Animals are my whole world, and when I look after yours, I care for them with the same love and patience I give my own. I'm currently working full time so mornings and evenings are the only time during week days, but I can do mid day visits on a weekend too! I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe and relaxed in their own home environment. 🏡🐾 I always follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, medication and bedtime habits, to help minimise stress while you’re away. I’m experienced with nervous, reactive and rescue pets, and I’m happy to work at their pace to build trust and confidence. I’ll treat both your pets and your home with the same care and respect I would my own, and I’ll keep you updated with regular photos and messages for peace of mind. 💛
