“We have Wing for first time and we chose her because of reviews which we read on here. (Honestly they are all true) I have no regrets about our decision. Wing was brilliant. We received a daily update from her with pictures and even videos. Our cat looks happy and healthy after a week without us. If we need someone to look after our cat again we will definitely choose Wing with no doubt.”


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 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.

About: We are a family of dog lovers. We have our own resident cocker spaniel Sydney (who is now 18months [as of 01.07.25]) so we are very familiar with what it takes to care for and train a needy and energetic dog. We’ve regularly attended dog training classes and so are very used to and committed to reinforcing basics training daily. We tend to walk our dog twice a day morning / evening or do one longer walk during the day, but my husband and I have the flexibility to look after / walk dogs during the day due to flexible work arrangements and maternity leave. We have 1 very friendly cocker spaniel, to keep your dog company along with a secured / fenced garden to play in! Our dog is crate trained and we can easily crate your dog as needed too if preferred.

“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”


“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!”


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.

“Amy has such a lovely bond with my little cat and sent me lovely photos and videos of a very happy girl that I felt so much better about having to be away for work. She came round to meet her beforehand and to familiarised herself with my feeding system and her communications were great. Will definitely call on her services again!”


About: We’ve had a mini golden doodle for the last four years and love every second of it. Hector and us would be happy to welcome another dog into our home. We are both home all day and will give your doggo the attention they deserve! Happy to walk, feed and bathe any dogs to make sure they have the best time away from the humans! Me and my fiancée have a mini goldendoodle that we have had since he was a puppy. We currently walk him for around an hour twice a day, and would love to also have your pooch join us. We have a fenced garden for the apartment so can let the dog out into the garden if they need some play time. Also got my own dog so my apartment is puppy proofed!

“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: I have experience with small breeds and know how to make them feel secure and engaged. Growing up with family dogs, I’ve learned the importance of care and companionship. Expect regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your dog is in good hands. For me, this isn’t just a service — it’s something I love doing. I’ll care for your dog like they’re part of my family. I work from home, which means your dog won’t be left alone — they’ll get as much attention, company, and care as they need throughout the day. I have a dog of my own, so I’m used to daily routines like walks, feeding, playtime, and quiet moments too. I genuinely enjoy it all. My home is calm and dog-friendly — ideal for dogs who prefer a peaceful space or get a bit anxious in new environments. I also have a nice, fenced, and secure garden that my dog loves to play in, offering a great space for outdoor fun and exercise. I’m happy to stick to your dog’s usual routine and make sure they feel safe and settled.

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.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since having our family dog from a young age. I now have my own and I treat his as my child… I’ve just come back from Italy with Sherlock (that’s how much I couldn’t be apart from him) I work as a self employed personal trainer, meaning during the week I work early mornings and late evenings but I work from home all throughout a normal working day. Sherlock is always at the forefront of the hours I work making sure he gets everything he would need around my schedule as would your pup! I have an enclosed garden and a divide between the kitchen and living area giving the pups a safe space. I allow all the pets on furniture so they can make themselves right at home!

About: I’m a dog owner myself so have extensive experience in training puppies. I’ve grown up with a variety of breeds of dogs so I’m comfortable with all different shapes and sizes! I work from home 2-3 days out of the working week and work in a dog friendly office 2-3 days, so am flexible with either looking after dogs on my wfh days or can take them with me to the office. I walk to-and-from work and I take my fur baby for a walk every evening to get more steps in! I’m sure she’d love someone to run around with ❤️ I live in a secure flat that has a courtyard out the back where I regularly take my dog for a piddle. There’s plenty of space for your dog’s bed/ crate.
