We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better sitter than Emma. She popped in to our house for three days while we were away for the weekend in Prague, and after recently moving to St Helens and not knowing many people locally yet, we were a bit nervous about leaving our 10-year-old cat daughter, Sasha Fierce. Emma completely put our minds at ease from day one. She followed every instruction perfectly, took lovely photos each visit, and sent a detailed Rover card every day with little updates about how Sasha was doing. It was so reassuring to see those messages come through – you can really tell she genuinely cares about the pets she looks after. Sasha was happy, relaxed, and clearly well looked after when we got home, which says everything. Emma was reliable, thoughtful, and just overall brilliant. We’ll 100% be booking her again when we’re in Cyprus in June. Highly recommend!

Aunty G is our furbabies best aunty, she takes them for long walks, plays with them, feeds them and they love her to bits. They are her friends for life, we couldn't wish for a better dog walker because if the dogs are happy we're happy.

Kylie is very friendly and easy to communicate with. She updates me every time she visits. My cats urinated on the floor, making a mess at home. Kylie spent a lot of time to help me clean it up.

About: Let me introduce myself - I’m Chrissie and I absolutely love Dogs!! Due to the passing of my beloved Hugo (seen in pics) last year, I have missed the bond of having a pet and getting out in nature as much. I have looked after family dogs many times over the last decade, from springer spaniels, staffys and jack russels. I have loved each dog as if it were my own. I give them the care and affection they deserve and will give yours just as much (if not more!) Carr mill dam is literally at the end of my road, so your dog will have the luxury of the various walks available in the area. I also drive so can take well behaved dogs to other nearby places where your pet can explore its surroundings. I’m looking for well behaved dogs who are good around children as my young son is likely to join us on our walks. I am a teaching assistant by day so I can occasionally provide drop-in checks after school hours, but mainly available for long weekends and school holidays. Perfect for families who are looking for breaks away but not wanting massive expenses for kennel boarding. I have a large astro turfed garden with high fences. Dogs are allowed to roam freely around my home and garden. My home is essentially theirs and wish for them to feel as comfortable and safe as possible.

About: I have a 3yr old Cavalier who was more than testing in the puppy stage, but is the most friendly, well behaved little girl who loves dogs of all shapes and sizes, even our family's Leonburger and Alaskan Malamute! I have owned spaniels my whole life and previously did 'Borrow My Doggy' boarding. I work from home most of the week with a flexible job so have lots of time to get out in the local parks and play at home. I have a walled garden and a very friendly small dog who is spayed and loves all other dogs. I have capacity to crate dogs overnight if that the preferred sleeping arrangement otherwise happy to let dog on furniture etc - whatever your pup needs to feel safe and loved :)

We have a Boarder Collie which we got just before Covid so he doesent like strangers coming in to the house. We found Michael on Rovers and from the first time he came to our house he knew how to handle Teddy. He came twice to meet Teddy and then we went away for a week. Michael kept us updated with pictures and when he had been fed etc . If you have a dog that’s nervous or anxious I highly recommend Michael he’s excellent your dog will receive 5 star service .

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.

About: I grew up with 4 cats and 2 Labradors in my family, this sparked my compassion for animals. I adore playing, training, and most importantly making sure they have everything they need such as enough sleep, the right nutrition, enrichment and exercise! Presently, I am the owner of a Labrador puppy (and a cute elderly hamster)! She is incredibly well behaved, extremely well trained and always happy - this did not go without lots of highs and lows 😂. If you choose me to walk or look after your pet I will not disappoint. I am positive I will be able to give your dog anything it needs. I am able to handle large, strong breeds and I am also experienced with reactive dogs and how to train them. I am currently a postgraduate Student Doctor at the University of Liverpool meaning I have free time when most people are working! I am available intermittently during week days and available most weekends. I have a large fenced garden where my Labrador puppy loves to play and forage for food! She gets an amazing variety of exercise and training including tug of war, fetch, heel and recall work, and lots more enrichment. Our puppy also has specific nap times after a large meal or exercise which hugely helps dog behaviour as well as limiting any problems with digestion.

About: I've had numerous pets since before I could remember my mum has a habit of taking in strays. From dogs to rabbits, guinea pigs, lizards, snakes,ferrets,fish, mice and even our 98 year old tortoise. I'm pretty good at training puppies and I can do senior care as we had our rottweiler til she was 14 and I helped out loads. I am very nurturing as I have been a carer for my mum and sister and for my nan as well before she passed. Currently I have a lurcher called Jeff and two kittens Dante and Damien. As well as a tegu called friyja and a snake called neala and of course the 98 yr old tortoise chigley I am a carer for my mum but happy to pet sit as long as I can keep in contact with my mum and make sure she's okay. I have a pretty flexible schedule but would appreciate notice of changes. I will always keep an eye on your pet making sure they have food and water and are let out to go to the bathroom enough and also make sure they have a bit of playtime as well and if you have your pets on walking schedules I will assist with that as well.

Natalie stepped in last minute to look after our 3 cats when we were let down by our regular sitter. Fast to respond and very reliable. Even the timid one seemed to take to Natalie on her initial visit. We came home to a lovely clean area and happy cats! Thank you Natalie x

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.

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!

Emma did drop-in visits for our elderly dog, Crunchie, while we were on holiday, and we couldn’t be happier with the care she provided. Emma was flexible and was more than happy to work alongside family members who were also helping to care for Crunchie. As Crunchie is elderly and blind, staying in her own home is by far the best option for her, and Emma completely understood her needs. We loved receiving the detailed updates, photos, and videos from every visit. It became a nice routine for the boys as they went to bed at the end of the day, and we were always excited to see how Crunchie was getting on. It was clear from the photos and videos just how happy, comfortable, and well cared for she was. We are so pleased to have found Emma and now feel much more relaxed about future trips, knowing that we have someone we can completely trust to look after Crunchie and her needs. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Emma to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and professional pet sitter. We will definitely be booking again, and I’m sure Crunchie is looking forward to seeing Emma again 😊
