“Wing Shan took wonderful care of my cat for a few days - she kept us well updated and we came home to a very happy cat and even a cute little Polaroid of her! Thank you, will definitely book again :)”


“Amy was great at looking after Boo Boo. She’s a very nervous cat so we were worried that she’d hide away the whole time we were away but Amy kept us up to date on how she was doing and that she was eating etc. which put us at ease.”


About: We are compassionate pet sitters, we are experienced at caring for furry family members of all ages, from playful puppies and kittens to nursing older pets in their final days and following complicated surgical procedures. We have had pets our entire lives and can provide personalised care tailored to each pet's unique needs. We will prioritise the well-being and happiness of every animal entrusted to our care. Whether it's cuddle time with an older cat, or playtime with a lively puppy, we have done it. We have also nurtured a nervous and rescued pet. We have nursed both cats and dogs following surgical procedures and are dedicated to creating a safe and loving atmosphere where pets thrive. We have recently lost our last dog, at the age of 16 and although we are missing him, we do not feel ready to just 'replace' him. We are therefore really looking forward to sharing our lives with other peoples pets, we live is a calm and peaceful household but have also known the fun chaos of having 3 children (now grown and gone) and at one point 3 dogs and 2 cats...and chickens plus a pond full of fish! At the moment we both work, but on a flexible schedule and able to work remotely with the ability to take long breaks during the day to allow time for walks etc. We can vary our working week so that any animal being looked after is never alone. We have a secure back garden and will very soon be retiring so that we will be able to spend all day, every day looking after your animals! About to be retired, so we will have a completely free schedule ready to look after your animals and take them on all the walks they need Safe home, enclosed garden, gated garden with drive- our house is very pet friendly. We will welcome your pets with open arms whenever you need.

“Rachel was absolutely fantastic. She sent us daily updates with videos and photos, making sure both our cats were fed and litter trays cleaned for the week we were away. The cats seemed to really warm to her and felt safe with her, I would 100% book with Rachel again.”


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 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.

“Faye has been amazing looking after our cat while we we're away. Told us how she was every day including photos too. Our at is really timid but it didn't take long for her to warm to Faye which was great. Will definitely use her again when we go on our next holiday! Thanks so much Faye :) x”


“Caroline was very great with Mika. Mika seemed to have thoroughly enjoyed his time. Thank you for coming and looking after Mika! Can definitely recommend and will book again!”


“Olivia did a great job looking after my cat, Pudding, whilst I was away. Great communication and flexibility. Definitely recommended.”

I’m currently working a 9-5 from home in the Media City area and Jasmin works from home occasionally.

We're also available on weekends and have extra time and flexibility for longer walks and daytime care in a wider area of Manchester. We're both very comfortable caring for pets having grown up around dogs our whole childhoods. We'd love to take them on walks, explore the local area and give them the attention they deserve!

About: Growing up we always had a dog in the house. When old enough I started dog walking and sitting family and friends dogs. I have train our own family dogs but I have cared for numerous dogs, young and old. I currently have a part time job that allows me to have weekends off. It also allows me to have afternoons off to dog sit, drop in, or dog walk when needed. At a pet owners place I will keep the dog safe by following the owners rules, keeping gates/doors closed. When on walks, I prefer to keep the dog on leash however, if proven, I’ll let the dog off leash ONLY if trained and proven trustworthy.

Coquito is such a lovely little thing—friendly, gentle, and always up for a play. It’s great knowing my pup is not just being cared for but also having fun with a new furry friend.
