About: I’ve grown up with dogs and have a dog of my own - 5 year old black Labrador called Limmy. I’m currently studying for a dog training qualification, and have trained 4 dogs (including puppies and rescues). I am very experienced with dogs and am confident. I recently fostered a Doberman for just over a year, which involved training her and building her confidence. I want to ultimately move towards a career in dog training. I am happy to board/walk reactive dogs - however I’d like to meet ahead of the booking to ensure they are ok with my dog. I work full time (Mon to Friday) but work from home, so I can walk your dog before 9.30am, over lunch time or after 5pm. I am also free all weekend. Your dog can stay with me whilst I work from home where I will give them stimulating toys and activities to keep them happy and occupied. I don’t offer home boarding, as I am a full time house sitter. I have a large car with safety devices for transporting your pet(s)! I am due to complete a Level 3 Canine first aid course in November 2023 with Purple Dog.

About: I’ve had many pets since I was young ranging from dogs to cats to hamsters to snakes. However I have looks after our family dog since I was 8 she libed with my grandmother who is disabled and needed some extra support looking after her. These things ranged from preparing food to designated play times to walking 3 times a day and clearing the back yard. I really enjoy spending time with animals as they just bring the light to my day. I trained the family dog to walk by my side without a lead and would only do so for me. I’m currently working part time Monday, Thursday and Saturday. The hours are 9-5:30. Therefore I am unavailable during them times on these days. I’m an early bird get up bright and early to start my day so anytime during the days I am available is perfect for me. I have put on my schedule i am unavailable Monday Thursday and Saturday, however if it is after the times provided above I’m sure I can come and give your pets some loving and care I will give your pets a lot of loving and care and even bring some treats with their owners say so of course. I will always put you pets first at all cost and protect them at all cost. Any instructions or routines you have in place just let me know and I will sure keep them the same.

“Steph was brilliant - she looked after our two cats as we would ourselves. Thank you!”


“Anna was fantastic at looking after my cat and kept me up to date with messages, pictures and videos for the duration of her care. Very trustworthy and friendly”


“Lydia has been great letting my dog Odie out while we're at work. She keeps me updated with the stay, when she's arriving and when she's leaving, along with some photos of Odie. Thanks Lydia!”

About: I've taken care of dogs most of my life. I cannot remember a time when I've not had some kind of animal around me.We always had dogs in our family when growing up. My dad was a massive dog lover who loved Dobermans. I once had 3 dogs and 3 cats living in my home..manic but worth every second of every year we were fortunate to have them. The last of the pack is now 15 year old and appreciating what time we have together..so I am experienced in taking care of all breeds, size and age of dogs. I have taken care of friends dogs and cats over the years. I love walking both in the country and by the sea..life is so much more beautiful with a dog by your side.. This is my new vocation in life, I have worked in office environments for over 40 years..time for a big change and slow life down a little..enjoy doing what I've always enjoyed..being around furry creatures I am be available a very flexible 5 day week for day care and 7 day week for boarders to cover holidays.. I live in a beautiful part of the Wirral with an amazing park and beach 5 minute walk away. I love walking so if your pet is up to it they will never be bored.. I have no children living at my home just two grandchildren that are no longer babies and only visit weekends every three weeks..they love and respect all animals like I do. I have a small walled courtyard that is plenty big enough to wander around but all exercise will be undertaken at the park and beach I also have a large stroller incase your dog is an older dog and just wants to be out but not necessarily doing the walks.

About: With hands-on experience in both dog walking and positive reinforcement training, I’ve had the joy of working with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. My mission is to make every walk a fun, safe, and enriching experience—and every training session a step toward better behavior and a stronger bond between dogs and their humans.Whether your dog needs a calm walk while you’re at work or support learning new skills, I’m here to help—with patience, consistency, and lots of love (and treats!). I love sitting for dogs or catd to get that extra, cosy bond, I treat every dog or cats like part of my family. Whether it’s for a weekend getaway or a daily visit, I provide a calm, caring, and safe environment where your dog feels right at home. I can fit one or two days a week to do, dog walking or dog sitting or popping in to check in on your fury friend With my two big XL American bullies they have a big garden and we take them out for a walk regularly, I will listen to every client how they would like me to look after their fur babies

“I contacted Laura to care for my 18-week-old puppy, Onni, while I attended an evening event. Laura took the initiative to visit us the week before to meet Onni and learn more about him. This thoughtful gesture immediately reassured me that Laura would be great with him. Onni, who is usually a nervous pup exploring the big world, seemed very comforted by her presence. During the event, Laura provided drop-in and walking services, feeding and walking Onni as needed. From the photos Laura uploaded to his Rover card, it was clear he had a wonderful time. She left the house exactly as I had left it, making it almost as if she hadn't been there, except for the happy puppy. Laura's genuine care and love for animals shine through in her interactions. Onni is undoubtedly excited to see her again. I highly recommend Laura to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter. Thank you, Laura!”

About: INSTAGRAM ⭐️ Danielles.doggy.daycare follow for live updates! I have taken care of dogs for 9 years now. I have 3 beautiful sausages under the age of 2 at the moment. Boarding dogs Dogs will be given a separate room cleaned daily, cage or bed is requested. Extra bedding will be available and washed. During your dogs stay you can expect 3 walks a day -morning/lunch/evening. You will also receive updates as often as possible. Your dog will receive playtime slots solo and also with my pups. Dogs will be given treats/bones/dental sticks food will always be available along with fresh water. If anpup comes in season I have puppy pads and also re usable nappies that’s will be cleaned daily to keep hygiene levels high. All of this is included in the price and helps me to keep a good store of stock so all dogs get the best treatment when staying. All treats are bought naturally so are a-little more expensive so I can cater to dogs with digestive issues ect too. If requested I can wash dogs also before going home or after walks (you can supply if you have any or your dog needs specific shampoo). Even the best toilet trained dogs sometimes like to leave there scent or have an accident. If this happens owner will be told , if you’d like to supply cleaning products such as wipes, that would be amazing (I’ve had some wee on my sofa and on carpets so it can become a little pricey) but it isn’t required! I look forward to having your pups stay with us we always have the best adventures in the parks, beaches. I drive so we often go on a lot of different types of walks to keep your pups entertained and never board! I work part time so I have a lot of free time on mornings, evenings and weekends. I can also walk the dogs in the rain as every dog deserves to get out. I have a spare dog room for dogs I host, I also have 3 special fur babies who are used to additional dogs coming into and out of our home, I have a enclosed yard and very close to some great parks and beaches.
