6. Morgan C.
About: I’m used to working with dogs that have behavioural issues so am happy to work with any dog including dogs that are reactive to people and other animals, who may need access to quieter walks 😊 I do currently work full time however I have scheduled days off and also start work at 11am some days so can schedule in walks before work and during my break. I will make sure to adjust the walks to the size and breed of the dog making sure I’m keeping on top of the needs of the dog. I’ll also make sure to provide them with mental enrichment to keep them settled in the home.


7. Janis B.

“Excellent service , would highly recommend Janis”


8. Caitlin F.

“Caitlin did such a good job looking after my dog, Teddy. She looked after him for 3 days/nights in my home. The house was clean and tidy on my return and Teddy was very happy and content. It is the first time I have left him with someone as I was very anxious that he would miss me too much but I needn’t have worried. I don’t think he gave me one though! I will definitely be using Caitlin again.”


9. Emily L.
About: My house will be your pets home away from home. I have had experience with animals my whole life, I am very much an animal lover. I will make sure they are happy and safe when they stay with me with plenty at fun and fuss. I don’t think any dogs are “unmanageable” just misunderstood as all have different needs you just need the patience to get to know them. My family and friends have always had dogs and I have always been the go to babysitter and trainer to teach them tricks and commands; therefore, i am happy to be that person to help with the care of your little ones too. Pet care fits perfectly into my schedule as I work from home 4/5 days a week and have plenty of time to give your pets the attention and care they require. I have plenty of comfy places for your pet to chill and relax but also play safely. Also, my flat is located on a quite collude-sack tucked away from any busy streets or roads for them to enjoy outside time on or off leash- depending on your preferences. I have a safe environment with all rooms safe for you little friends to enjoy their time with me and be safe.

11. Robert H.
“Robert has been a fantastic help, regularly cat sitting for my Tabby Lulu when I have had to work from the office and has even stayed overnight while I was out of town on business. He is always punctual, polite, caring and I am sure Lulu is in safe hands with him.”


12. Oliver G.
“Oli always gives the best belly rubs and fusses on drop ins! We go on really good walks, he is fun and very calm and paitent even when I'm not. Would highly recommend! Thank you! From Marla the Malamute”


13. Nichola R.

“Nichola was brilliant with our 4 month old, high energy pup! She arrived early to make sure she had all the info she needed and I was comfortable leaving him in Nichola's care. She kept me updated to let me know how he was doing and when we got back he was fast asleep, having played his favourite games with Nichola! We will definitely use Nichola again when we next need a dog sitter!”

About: I am a great dog sitter because I provide reliable, compassionate care that pets and their owners can trust. My attention to detail ensures that each dog’s specific needs are met, whether it’s feeding, walking, or administering medication. My genuine love for animals creates a calming and safe environment where dogs feel comfortable and loved in my care. I also have a natural ability to tune into their behaviour, noticing signs of stress or discomfort, and responding with patience and understanding. This combination of dedication, knowledge, and empathy makes me the ideal dog sitter for any pet owner. I currently work at an outdoor 7 acre doggy day care! In Lymm/Altrincham, I live in Hyde so I can cover Hyde/Stockport, Lyme/Altrincham/Hale/Hale Barns I’m available weekends and weekdays if dogs are happy me working 6 hours a day and I can spend the night in your lovely home. Weekends I can provide full day and night care. I can also provide dog walks weekdays after 2pm and any time on weekends. When caring for pets at their owners' home, my approach is to ensure the pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for in their familiar environment. Upon arrival, I make sure to greet the pets warmly, helping them feel at ease with my presence. I follow the owners' specific instructions for feeding, maintaining their regular diet and meal schedule, and ensuring they have access to fresh water at all times. Daily exercise is important, so I take dogs for walks or play with them in the yard to keep them active and happy, while also engaging with other pets, like cats or small animals, through interactive play or enrichment activities. I also maintain the pets’ normal routines, whether it’s administering medication, grooming, or simply spending time cuddling and giving them attention. Throughout the stay, I ensure the home stays tidy, cleaning up after the pets, and keeping their spaces clean and organized. Regular updates, including photos or videos, are sent to the owners so they can have peace of mind knowing their pets are in good hands. My goal is to keep the pets feeling relaxed and content until their owners return.


19. Alisha B.
“Alisha looks after our weimaranar whilst we go away. She takes him on lots of walks, allows him plenty of fresh air in the garden and gives him plenty of cuddles. Alisha is reliable, trustworthy and a lovely person all round. I wouldn't leave my dog with anyone else!”


20. Amy S.
“Amy is absolutely amazing! She has looked after our dog Louie multiple times, and he absolutely loves her. She’s caring, reliable, and clearly adores animals. We always feel completely at ease knowing Louie is in her capable hands. Amy goes above and beyond to keep him happy, from long walks to cuddles and playtime. It’s clear Louie enjoys his time with her, and we couldn’t recommend Amy more highly!”
