“We had to leave for 9 days very close to Christmas this year, and Wing Shan was beyond amazing! She was very friendly with both us and our cat and during her visits she always went beyond what was needed from her. She could have easily just done the basics but she clearly cares for animals and was always wanting to do more! Every day we were getting updates with photos and videos to show us how our little buddy was doing! I cannot recommend Wing Shan enough! We will definitely be contacting her again in the future if we ever need someone to check in on our little buddy!”


“rachel was great, came to collect keys next day after booking, looked after tilly fine, no issues, tilly was in a great mood when we came back. Rachel took lots of photos of tilly for us, will definitely consider again. Thanks!”

“Georgina is so down to earth. Can clearly see how much she loves animals! Our dog Rocky loves her! She sent lots of pics & updates which I appreciated. So attentive. We will be booking in with her regularly now!”


“I cannot thank enough to Amy, as a veterinarian and pet owner I am always concerned about if my pets are going to be well looked after when I have to leave and the answer is yes. She has been a 10, my cats were very pleased with her and I think they already miss her. One of my cats is very shy so I thought that Amy wouldn’t be able to see her on her home visits but, for my surprise my cat was waiting to see her. She has been reporting me everything for my piece of mind, she has informed me how much my cats ate. I can say for sure that I will use her services again as she really cares about the animals.”


“Genevieve is the perfect sitter, really warm and friendly, felt very comfortable leaving our cat Tilly in her care.!She asked appropriate questions so she was well prepped to look after Tilly which I appreciated. Communication was good, checking in with pictures every day. Tilly seems very happy :) Thank you!”


About: I have always loved dogs from a young age, and have owned a family rescue greyhound for 7 years now who is spoilt everyday! I have experience working with all types of breeds following working for a dog Kennels from 2020-2022. I am trained in canine first aid, grooming, and taking extra care of pups that require a little more assistance (young, old, disabled or nervous dogs). I am currently doing an apprenticeship (working and studying for a degree) in Manchester. I'm missing my dog at home, and have some time during the weekdays since I work from home, and weekends to look after your pup. Since purchasing a flat, my agreement allows me to keep pets. I am well experienced at taking care of my greyhound at home, utilising the garden to exercise and play with her. I can offer similar experiences on walks at the local park. I am able to separate animals to eat if needed.

About: I have been looking after dogs and cats for many years. I love both big and small dogs. My friends with a bull terrier leave her only with me and we get along great. My cat has been living in our family for 14 years and feels great. Pets are our family, they are like children who never grow up. I have a remote part-time job with a flexible schedule, so I can devote enough time to your pets. I am also completely free on weekends. My house has a small fenced, protected yard where your baby can walk safely. We can also walk to the nearest park 10 minutes away from me. There are no other pets in my apartment.

“I had booked for Nicole to visit Nova 3 times whilst I was away overnight, Nicole came to meet Nova beforehand which was great because Nova is really nervous around new people! Would definitely book again, Nicole put my mind at ease and sent lots of messages/photos to let me know how Nova was 😊”


About: My family has always had dogs and I loved growing up with a dog in the home. My husband and I now have a crazy cocker spaniel called Lola. We would all love to welcome more dogs into our home. We only accept crate trained dogs due to us having a house cat. Dogs will need to sleep in a crate overnight but otherwise will be able to freely go around the house and outside. Both my husband and I work from home with flexible working hours. We walk our spaniel a couple of times a day. Dogs would always have access to the garden. Our garden is enclosed and our dog Lola is very friendly and welcoming. Lola is crate trained and we have space for an additional crate.

About: I grew up with a house full of pets so when I moved out I felt the need to have animals in my life, and ended up turning it into a business! I’ve been looking after dogs and cats more professionally since august 2021 (with breaks in between), including walks and dog sitting at both my own and the owners homes. I’ve cared for many animals ranging from bengal kittens to big greyhounds! I love all animals and will for certain love yours too! I work in a education so am available early morning and evenings for drop ins and walks, as well as weekends and during half term for longer visits. when staying in pet owners homes i like to follow guidance from the owners themselves about how they like things to be done. i also like to leave the home tidier than how i found it.

About: I used to provide pet sitting service, either in owner's home or stay overnight at my home. I love animals since I was small, so I know I will definitely live with animal in my whole life. When I was in my hometown, I do volunteering in a homeless dog shelter every weekend, duties are including walking dogs, bathing, playing with them, talk to someone who wants adoption. I’m a full time mum, I am available to do day care for pets everyday after dropping off my kid in school. Time is flexible and can be easily arranged since I can ask my family to help on my kid. I care for pets with the same love, attention, and respect I would give my own. I take time to learn their specific needs—like feeding schedules, medication, exercise habits, and favorite toys or activities. In a pet owner’s home, I follow all instructions carefully, keep their space tidy, and maintain regular updates so they feel confident and connected.

About: I absolutely adore dogs. I’ve taken care of them since I got my first one as a child and I’ve had the privilege of loving and caring for a dog in my life ever since, I’ve also often lived with cats which I love as well! I’ve adopted and cared for a few dogs who needed a bit of extra love, like those with separation anxiety or special needs, have practiced dog training, and have been trusted to dog sit for many wonderful owners over the years, which has given me a deep understanding of how to provide the best care possible. I also have a whole lot of love to give so your pet won’t be short of attention and care in your absence! I love going for walks and staying active so I can ensure they get the exercise they need. As for senior dogs, I am happy to go at their pace. When your furry family member is in my care, you can trust that they will receive the highest level of attention, care, and protection. I truly love what I do, and I’m committed to making sure your pet feels loved, well-cared for, and completely at ease. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your dog like family and respect their routine, I’d love to help out! I am also able to board dogs in my home depending on their size and breed. :) I currently invest all of my time into pet care, which allows me to be flexible with my schedule to accommodate your pet’s needs. Whether you need a reliable dog walker, drop-ins, care during the day or overnight, weekdays, and weekends! :) I’m committed to giving your pet the best care with fresh food and water, regular walks, and a keen eye on their safety and well-being. I’ll handle everything from waste cleanup and medication to baths, all while respecting your dog’s unique needs, whether they enjoy active play, long walks, affection, or quiet crate time. I’m also happy to implement training sessions into my time with them, whether on walks or during longer stays. I know how much you'll miss them, so I’ll keep you updated with regular messages and plenty of adorable photos and videos, as I’m also a professional photographer and love capturing those special moments.

About: I’ve always had a deep love for animals, and caring for them has been a big part of my life. Growing up, I had the joy of raising two dogs, a hamster, chickens, and quails, each one teaching me something new about compassion and responsibility. I currently share my home with a cat, and I hope to welcome even more pets in the future. These experiences have given me a solid understanding of different animal personalities and needs. My motivation to be a pet sitter comes from a genuine passion for animals and the desire to help others feel confident that their pets are safe and loved while they’re away. I know how important it is to find someone trustworthy, caring, and attentive. Whether it’s feeding, walking, playing, or simply offering companionship, I take pride in giving animals the attention they deserve. For the safety of all pets in my home, I only accept vaccinated animals. I’m currently on break from school and will be returning to a more flexible schedule. I have plenty of time and extra to care for your pet! I have a backyard will tall fences for any toilet breaks or exploration and a park nearby for any walks. I also have a friendly cat who loves contact with other animals.

About: I grew up in a busy home, we had a cat and dog since I was a baby and then 2 cats and a dog after our first passed away. I love animals but sadly I'm not in a position to have one of my own right now. I would love to help you look after yours when you can't! I currently work full time, in a school. Half terms I can be more flexible, otherwise mornings before 7am and evenings after 5 are great. I can also do weekend walks. I have a rear garden with a side gate which locks. I won't be boarding animals at my home though so this should not be a problem.
