House Sitting Tameside

“Edie had such a lovely evening with Emma and it sounded like they had lots of fun together! Emma was so enthusiastic/happy about looking after Edie, which was really nice, and communication was lovely throughout. We felt totally comfortable leaving Edie with Emma and would definitely be happy for her to look after her again!”

About: I believe in truly 'person-centred'—and paw-centred—care! In my professional life as a support worker, I specialise in understanding individual needs and building trust. At home, I’m a lifelong animal lover and proud parent to a GSD and a kitten. I’d love to look out for your best friends whilst keeping your routine intact and your pets completely at ease. I have had pets in my family for the last 25 years and don't remember a time I didn't have an animal or 4 running around the house. I regularly am trusted to look after and walk my friends and families dogs and check on cats and am confident with all shapes and sizes and breeds. Balancing my career and my love for animals is easy thanks to my 4-day work week. It leaves me with three entirely free days each week to dedicate 100% of my time to walking your dogs and visiting your homes. On the 4 days I am working, I am still available for local early bird walks or evening tuck-in visits. Just drop me a message with your required dates, and we can easily coordinate a schedule that keeps your pet perfectly on routine. I understand leaving your home and pets in someone else’s hands requires complete peace of mind. In my daily job as a support worker, managing safety and building trust in sensitive environments is what I do best. When looking after your pets, their wellbeing is my absolute priority. I am highly observant of animal behaviour - skills I practice daily with my own German Shepherd Kai and baby kitten Mika. Whether managing a powerful dog on a walk or double-checking that your doors are securely locked, I treat your home and your pets with the utmost respect, care, and attention to detail, like I do my own. I am also DBS checked.

“Demmi is a lovely girl who took great care of my Jack Russells Pippa and Boris. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her and will definitely use her again in the future. Thanks Demmi x”

About: I had a family dog since I was a teenager for 12 years and have looked after them in my spare time ever since. Now in my thirties, I've gained a lot of experience with dogs of many different ages, breeds and temperaments. I'm currently available pretty much whenever you need, for whatever you need. Whether it be just a few hours or a few days, I'm happy to help!I I live on a quiet, dog friendly cut-de-sac with lots of parks nearby. And I have a fenced garden, with plenty of space for your pup to run around and play.

“We went away for 2 weeks and the whole time we were sent updates of our dog constantly, Nicola is such a lovely person, can’t fault her one bit ! We could tell lexi was herself when we got home so we will be definitely using her again in the future ! Thanks so much again”

“Yarah looked after our elderly dog and home with care, kindness and respect! High standard of care and attention ensured Woody was happy and stress free while we were away! House was exactly as we left it and communication was excellent throughout! Yarah is highly recommended - thank you for going over and above what was expected - you have a new doggy friend 🐶”

My parents dog has complex needs so i have experience with that I work 8.30-4.30 weekdays but finish at 2 on a Friday, from September i will be WFH one day a week. Will be free weekends I can do my best to keep your pet happy and comfortable based on their needs and can follow any particular rules or requirements needed

“Hazel looked after my two cats for two weeks and did an absolutely excellent job! She went above and beyond to make sure they were happy, comfortable, and well cared for. She even bought them some little toys, which they absolutely adore! When I got home, the cats were happy and relaxed, which was a clear sign that their routine had been followed and that they had experienced no stress while I was away. It’s reassuring to know they were in such caring and capable hands. Once again, Hazel has proved what a fantastic job she does. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her and would happily have her look after my cats again!”

About: I am an experienced pet care professional with tons of animal-related skills and knowledge. My goal is to offer your pet loving and affordable care when you're not around. Me and my partner haven't had the best experiences with sitters, so we're dedicated to creating the perfect environment that works for your pet, as we know we want our dogs to be treated as part of the family when we aren't around. We have 2 dogs of our own, a Pug & a medium-sized “Shepomsky” (a mixed breed). While we had a lot of pets stay during 2024, currently, I’m mainly focusing on drop ins & walks, with daycare slots available for suitable dogs. I offer boarding by request to pets that have either stayed before, or dogs who have got to know me through walks, drop ins and/or daycare. This will make the transition from your home to mine much easier compared to being thrown in to the deep end, and you can rest easy knowing your pet is safe and with a person you both know pretty well. Whether it's at your house or mine, I understand the importance of routine, sticking to the same rules and continuing training if necessary. So you can rest assured that your pet will be treated the same as they are at home! I can also send as many pupdates as you want 📸🐶🐱 A little bit more about me. I currently work from home & my job is very accommodating, so I can be available almost anytime throughout the day. I have always had animals and was mostly raised with/around large dogs. I am a qualified dog groomer & I’m comfortable providing specialised care and treatment for animals that suffer from medical conditions such as diabetes, arthritis, etc. Growing up, I always wanted to become a vet so I dedicated most of my life to animal-related work and work experience. I changed my mind after my experiences, but wanted to keep my options open so got my degree in Zoology in 2019. Some jobs I have had include: > Worked at Pets at Home for over 4 years > Completed my dog grooming qualification in 2018 > Grooming salon manager for over a year in 2021 > Trained approx. 20 people how to groom dogs > Volunteered at 2 veterinary practices > Volunteered at a pet rescue > Worked in a boarding kennels & cattery > Worked closely with wild animals at a private zoo > Helped on several family/friends’ farms, small holdings & a stables Due to working with animals for so many years, I am very confident with all kinds of dogs and know how to handle various breeds, ages, personalities and medical conditions in a professional environment. Whether you have a golden oldie or a cheeky puppy, I’ll be able to offer them the best care possible with plenty of love, cuddles, playtime & suitable walks 🐾 *I would be happy to care for your small animals for an additional fee. I can also offer a bath, brush and blow dry for your dog so they come home smelling and looking fresh!* Over the past couple of years, I have switched from working with animals to working from home as a digital content manager as it offers a better work-life balance and gives me the flexibility to spend more time with my dogs. It also means I can start offering services like this on the side. My dogs are both crate trained, so dogs staying at mine will never be left alone together unsupervised. If your pet can't be left alone, my partner is a hybrid worker & I can make sure he's home before running errands. We are an adventurous couple & will often go on walking adventures with our pair on the weekend 🐾 We offer a warm, comfortable and safe environment for your pet. We allow animals on the furniture but not upstairs. Due to our own dogs being crate trained, we prefer to take on dogs that are also crate trained when it comes to boarding at our home so they have a safe space to sleep overnight (crate training isn’t necessary for daycare clients or calm, confident dogs). Dogs will always be fed separately & will be given breaks to rest after meals, walks & playtime. We can offer as many or as little walks depending on the needs of your dog alongside plenty of cuddles, games & supervised doggy playtime 🐾

“Robert was punctual as always. Doodles was very happy to see him and had lots of playtime in the garden. She slept soundly soon after Robert left! We have no hesitation in recommending Robert to other pet owners.”

About: As a Registered Veterinary Nurse with over 10 years of experience, I bring a level of professional knowledge and reassurance that many standard pet sitters simply can’t offer 🩺🐾 Working in veterinary practice means I am highly experienced in animal behaviour, handling and recognising subtle changes in a pet’s health or wellbeing. Your pet’s safety, comfort and happiness will always be my top priority. I am trained in fear-free handling, meaning I focus on creating calm and positive experiences for pets, especially those who may feel nervous, shy or anxious around new people or environments 🤍🐶🐱 I am also an ISFM Cat Friendly Advocate and have completed additional training in cat-friendly handling, allowing me to provide gentle, stress-aware care for feline companions 🐱✨ What really makes my service different is the combination of clinical knowledge and genuine love for animals. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. Alongside my professional experience, I’m also a proud dog mum to my Basset Hound Rosie, who reminds me every day how special the bond between pets and their owners truly is 🐶💚 When your pet is in my care, you can feel confident knowing they are with someone who is qualified, experienced and truly passionate about animal welfare. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine as animals have always been a huge part of my life. Alongside running my pet care services, I also work part-time as a Registered Veterinary Nurse during the week, which allows me to maintain my clinical skills while still offering flexible and reliable pet sitting and drop-in visits. Because I work part-time shifts, I’m able to plan my schedule carefully to ensure pets in my care receive the time, attention and routine they need 🐶🐱 On days I am not in practice, I have much greater flexibility for longer visits, pet sitting, walks and check-ins. When I do have a shift, I ensure visits are scheduled around my working hours so pets are never left without the care and companionship they deserve. Being a veterinary nurse also means I’m very used to structured routines and planning ahead, so you can feel confident that your pet’s feeding times, walks, medication and daily routine will always be followed carefully 🩺🐾 Caring for animals is something I genuinely love, so spending my free time looking after pets fits perfectly into my lifestyle 🤍 Your pet’s safety and wellbeing will always be my highest priority 🤍 As a Registered Veterinary Nurse with over 10 years of experience, I am trained to recognise changes in behaviour, health and wellbeing, giving owners extra reassurance while their pets are in my care. I take the time to get to know each pet’s personality, routine and individual needs so they feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. Whether your pet is playful and energetic or shy and cautious, I adapt my approach to ensure they feel safe and relaxed. I am passionate about fear-free handling, meaning I always aim to minimise stress and create calm, positive experiences for pets. This is especially important for nervous animals or those who may struggle with new environments. I will always respect your home and your pet’s usual routine — following feeding schedules, walk routines and medication instructions carefully 🐶🐱 As a pet owner myself, I know how important trust is when leaving your pet with someone new. That’s why I treat every animal with the same level of care, patience and compassion as I would my own 🐾💚 You can relax knowing your pet is being looked after by someone qualified, experienced and genuinely passionate about animal welfare.

About: What sets me apart is the combination of professional training and genuine love I bring to every dog I care for. I’m DBS checked, fully insured, trained in animal first aid, and have completed animal behaviour courses, so you can feel confident that your dog’s safety and wellbeing always come first. Beyond qualifications, I understand that every dog is unique — from energetic pups who need long walks and playtime, to older companions who appreciate a slower pace and gentle care. I adapt to their needs, paying attention to their body language, routines, and favourite comforts, so they feel secure and happy while you’re away. I don’t just “look after” dogs — I build a bond with them, treating them as I would my own, with patience, kindness, and respect. And because I know how important peace of mind is, I keep you updated with photos and messages so you never feel far from your furry friend. 🐾 I like to keep my schedule flexible so I can give pets the attention they need while working around family life. Here’s when I’m usually available for walks, drop-ins, and cuddles: Monday – Friday • Early mornings: 5:30am – 8:00am • Daytime: 9:30am – 2:00pm • Evenings: 3:45pm – 8:30pm Weekends • Mornings: 5:30am – 10:30am • Afternoons/Evenings: 4:00pm – 8:00pm If you need something slightly outside these times, just drop me a message — I’ll always do my best to fit you in. 🐾 🐾 In My Home I don’t offer boarding for dogs, but I can happily care for small animals such as guinea pigs, rabbits, or hamsters in a calm, clean, and safe environment. I make sure they have plenty of space, enrichment, and the same routine they’re used to at home, so they feel settled and cared for. Hygiene and comfort are a top priority, and I always follow your instructions closely to keep your little ones happy and healthy. 🐾 In Your Home When looking after pets in their own home, I treat your space with the same respect as I do my own. I follow your pet’s normal routine, from feeding times to walks and cuddles, so they feel secure in familiar surroundings. Safety always comes first — I double-check doors, gates, and litter trays, keep a close eye on body language, and ensure fresh water and clean spaces at every visit. I’m also trained in animal first aid, DBS checked, and fully insured, so you can relax knowing your pets are in safe, trustworthy hands I will close curtains collect post etc for extra security

About: Hii! My name is Niamh, and I've been an animal lover my whole life. I've been fortunate enough to be a cat and dog owner and currently have a family rescue cat and dog called Batman and Bob in Spain! I am originally English, but I moved to Spain a few years ago and found my lovely pets. I have been looking after my friends' and my parents' dogs in my family home for several years. I've mainly looked after smaller dogs, but I don't have any issues working with a medium-sized breed of dog:) I would love to care for your pet when you're away. I've lived in Stalybridge for a while and love it, but I've been missing being around my pets. So I thought, let's look after pets! My services: 🦮Dog walks, feeding, playing, keeping them company I am able to pop in if needed to keep your pet company, play with, feed, or walk. If specified, I will collect any mail or deliveries to put in a safe space and water plants if needed! When booking, please tell me about your pet's characteristics and any quirks to keep myself and your pet safe and happy! (The more you tell me, the better) To note! I require, before all bookings, to do a meet and greet so your pet and I are both as comfortable as possible, and I can collect house keys if needed:) I am a full-time sitter, so I can feed, play with, and walk your pet for as long as requested! I am often available, but do check my calendar for my availability. Once we have discussed your pet's typical routine, I will slot it into your schedule and keep it as close to it as possible!

“This was our first time leaving our 2 dogs with someone and I must say we are absolutely impressed with Megan! She has put us at ease from the very start! We had 2 meet and greet meetings before the house sitting and Megan took her time to learn about dogs routine. She has done everything we've asked and more. Megan has done a fabulous job especially that one of our dogs is really introverted. She has even organised a little hidden treat play in the garden for our doggies to make sure they are stimulated and not bored. She.also kept in touch with us sending updates and videos and pictures every day :) kept in touch all the time. Our dogs absolutely loved her and we will be using her in the future for all our holidays! Thank you Megan for making this a positive experience, both for us and our dogs :)”

“Couldn’t rate Scott more. Bella was really well looking after and had a great time, we were kept in contact on our break. Will be booking again! Thank you!”

About: Hi, I’m Paige! I really love spending time with dogs and have experience in taking care of them, we have 2 dogs in the the family home. an American akita and a blue staff, both very energetic so I know how to handle over excited dogs. They won’t be with me at any point whilst taking care of your dog so don’t worry if they’re not animal friendly. I’m currently working on from home on weekdays so looking for something to get me outside more than once a day. I finish by 3pm but can walk during my lunch hour and after work, including weekends. I have a 5 month old kitten of my own, Kookie. He is harness trained and the sweetest little boy. I have had him from being a small kitten so have dealt with fleas and know how to keep young kittens stimulated through the day! I have also had dogs my whole life and frequently walk a family members 4 month old Labrador. I don’t have space in my own home to look after a pet for long term stays.

About: I currently work for the UKS largest rehoming organisation which allowed me to learn dog behaviours inside and out, having undergone training to recognise behaviours, what they mean, and how i can care for dogs personal to their needs. I also spent 7 months in The Philippines independently rescuing and caring for over 18 animals (newborn puppies and kittens included) - Having found my own furbaby on the street in horrific condition i nursed him back to full health and brought him back to the UK with me. Between working part time and caring for my own doggy, i have the time to help others look after their fur babies as i know life can be so busy! I have training on dog behaviours and know how to make your pet comfortable. I listen to even the smallest of needs/wants for your pet because every one is different and i know particular routines are so important! No detail is too small.

“Amy was fantastic. Really flexible with visit timings, and understanding of my 15year old Labradors special needs. Kept us really updated as it was an extreme heatwave so keeping pets cool is a challenge.”
