About: With 12 years of experience as a veterinary assistant, I bring medical knowledge, a calm demeanor, and deep compassion to every pet I care for. I'm comfortable giving medications, handling senior pets with mobility issues, and understanding subtle changes in behavior that others might miss. I’m also great with nervous or shy animals—patience and kindness go a long way. As a proud cat mom, I understand that every pet has their own personality and needs, and I always tailor my care to match. As a full-time mom with a flexible schedule, I’m home most of the day and can easily fit pet care into my routine. Whether it’s daily walks, drop-in visits, or extended stays, I make sure your pet gets the time, attention, and love they need. I plan my day around their comfort, keeping their routine consistent and stress-free. Safety and comfort are always my top priorities. In my home, I create a calm, pet-friendly environment—clean, secure, and free of hazards. I carefully follow each pet’s routine, dietary needs, and any medical instructions. In a pet owner's home, I respect their space and keep everything just as they left it. I take time to build trust with every pet, making sure they feel safe, relaxed, and loved whether we’re at my place or theirs.

About: Hi! I’m a caring and responsible animal lover who genuinely enjoys spending time with pets. I understand how important it is to feel confident that your furry friend is happy, safe and well looked after while you’re away. I’m attentive to each pet’s individual personality and routine, whether that means long walks, plenty of playtime, cuddles on the sofa, or simply giving them some company and reassurance. I’ll always keep you updated while you’re away, so you can relax knowing your pet is in safe and caring hands. I’d love to meet you and your pet and help make your time apart as stress free as possible! 🐶🐱🐹🐰 I have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to fit pet care easily into my week. I’m a mum to a 5 year old son, so I’m used to being responsible, organised and attentive. I can plan pet care around my routine and make sure each pet gets plenty of time, attention, exercise and companionship. As a pet owner I understand how scary it can be to leave them in the care of another person, I will ensure I will do my absolute best to give them the best care and attention that they need and deserve.
“Katie has looked after my cat Jj three times now, and each experience has been excellent. She is always punctual and takes great care of everything—feeding, cleaning the litter box, and spending time playing with and grooming Jj. She is responsible, attentive, and clearly cares about the pets she looks after. I feel completely at ease knowing Jj is in such good hands. Thank you, Katie! I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter.”


About: I have dog walked and sat many pets (cats/dogs/guinea’s) for both friends/family for years as well as on other apps such as borrowmydoggy. I am familiar with many breeds of dogs/cats small to large and have experience giving dogs baths after walks & giving oral medication to both for various conditions including antibiotics in tablet form, liquid medications and painkillers & spot-on treatments. I have two indoor cats myself with two very different personalities so I am very use to different temperaments and needs - they are well socialised and friendly with people and are very unbothered cats but often get crazy zoomies throughout the day. Unfortunately until I am a homeowner I am unable to get a dog of my own so I have looked after friends pets and used apps such as borrow my doggy over the years as I love them so much and allows me to be around animals as often as I can! Services I can offer include: • Feeding & replenishing water (wet & dry food, exactly as instructed) • Administering oral medicine / keeping an eye on general health and behaviours • Litter box cleaning / poop scooping / washing dogs in the bath after walks • Walking dogs or letting cats inside/outside • Plenty of photo & video updates • Any home maintenance (e.g watering plants, collecting mail if needed) • Care for Guineas/Gerbils/Hamsters I work full time but am usually home for around 5pm so anytime after this I am able to help out with. However- I do not work weekends so Saturday/Sunday I am available early morning-late night.

After losing my dog Alfie, I have wanted more than anything to spend more time with animals and i would love to look after your furry friends! In my spare time I love walking, I love flying light aircraft, I'm a big fan of art and I love spending time with my friends. As I love walking, I would be offering dog walking, as well as pet sitting (dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs) and staying overnight if needed. I understand that all animals have their own routines so I want to ensure I can adhere to their routines as much as possible. I drive so I would be able to take your dogs to nearby parks or days out such as Tatton Park etc. Having finished sixth form this year and looking for some time away from studying, I am free most of the time and am very flexible, I have no issues staying late. I can't wait to hear from you and meet your furry friends! Having just finished sixth form I am very flexible and can work any day of the week and i can work weekends.

About: I have been fortunate to own and care for many dogs throughout my whole life. From puppies to seniors, I have experience with many different breeds and temperaments. I look after family and friends dogs and have the time, patience and space to provide a home from home when their owners are away. I’m semi retired and only work a few hours a week from home; so I have plenty of time to play, walk and be there for your dog. I’m available 7 days a week. I live in a detached house with a large secured front and back garden. There’s plenty of space for your dog to roam around freely, sniff and explore. Our furry guests are always supervised when out playing in the garden. We live near some lovely open spaces and scenic walks.
About: I’m a lifelong dog lover and current owner of Seamus the Sprockerpoo. I grew up with collies and labradors, and I love going on long, energetic walks. On school holidays and weekends I'm available throughout the day for walks, toilet breaks and meal times, I can cater to your dog's schedule. I have a fenced garden with a friendly male sprockerpoo for company, with quick access to the canal for walks. Dogs have access to the whole house.
About: I’m a lifelong dog lover with two friendly 9-year-old dogs of my own and 9 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs. I’m proud to have already received five 5-star reviews from happy owners on Rover, and I aim to make every dog feel safe, relaxed and completely at home during their stay. Dogs staying with me enjoy daily walks, outdoor time, play, plenty of attention and downtime to suit their individual routine and personality. I only care for a small number of dogs at a time, so they receive lots of individual attention and genuinely become part of the family while they’re here. For added peace of mind, I have comprehensive pet care insurance and am Canine Pet First Aid trained. I also have a secure garden and provide regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your dog is happy and well cared for. Dogs aged 1 year+ welcome. 🐾 My main availability is at weekends for dog walking and sitting. I can also accommodate weekday bookings for walks or overnight sitting with advance notice, particularly for longer or pre-arranged stays. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my priority. I have a fully enclosed garden for secure outdoor time, and two small, friendly dogs who can provide companionship and help your dog settle in and feel relaxed in a welcoming home environment.
About: I have a 2 year old cockapoo who myself and my husband have raised from 8 weeks old. He is very well trained and gets along with anyone, aswell as other dogs. Both myself and my husband have grown up with dogs and have always been around them. Your pet will receive plenty of love and attention from us. I work from home 3 days a week so I can work pet sitting into my routine very easily. There are a lot of local parks within walking distance so I can give your dog a walk in the day as well as after work alongside my own dog. I live in a spacious 2 bed flat with an enclosed private garden so your dog will have plenty of opportunities to go to the toilet. I have my own car so I'm happy to do pick ups and drop offs if required. I live with my husband Tom who will also be helping with the care of your pet and assist with walks. I have a crate if your dog needs it. I live in a flat so I won't be able to take in large dogs unfortunately. Small and medium dogs are perfect and will be in great company with my friendly cockapoo. I have an enclosed private garden so your dog will be safe with me. If you would like to come and visit before making a booking, that can be arranged for you to know your dog will be left in the best place.
“Jess has been amazing with Eddie from the start, shes calm and confident with his reactivity on walks. Shes gained my full trust in knowing Eddie is in safe hands, even going as far as to fish the keys back through the door after posting to ensure Eddies wellbeing as our flight was delayed 6 hours! Her loyalty to animal welfare is unmatched & any dog would be lucky to have her as a sitter🧡 Will definitely be rebooking in the future”


About: I’ve been a dog parent since puppy days! I raised my Cockapoo from 8 weeks old, so I know all about toilet training, teething, puppy energy, and keeping them entertained. I’m used to daily walks in public, meeting other dogs, and making sure walks are safe, fun, and well-behaved. Growing up I also had a family cat who lived to a ripe old age of 21! She was the sweetest, most loving cat and taught me how to care for cats with patience and lots of attention. I treat every pet like they’re my own — with playtime, cuddles, and regular updates with photos so you know they’re happy. I work part time so I’m available every Tuesday and alternate weekends for pet sitting. Pet care fits easily into my routine because I love having a schedule. I plan my day around walks, meals, playtime, and cuddles, and I make sure pets are never left alone for long periods. Safety is my #1 priority. In your home, I’ll stick to your pet’s normal routine for feeding, walks, play, and bedtime so they feel comfortable. I’ll keep doors/windows secure, use leads on walks, and never leave your pet unsupervised in unsafe areas. In my home: I have a pet-free, clean space with a secure garden. I’ll provide lots of play, toilet breaks, and cuddles. I send photo/video updates every visit so you know your pet is happy and safe. Happy to follow any specific instructions you have!
About: I’ve had pets of my own for over 40 years and truly treat every dog like family. I love spending time outdoors and enjoy long walks, playtime, and making sure dogs feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I recently lost my two senior dogs and would absolutely love the company of another furry companion! I am a teacher so due to my schedule, I am free evenings, weekends and school holidays to look after and entertain your beloved pets! Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a calm, clean, and pet-friendly home where dogs are treated with the best possible care. I’m attentive to routines, instructions, and any special needs to ensure peace of mind while you’re away. I have a medium sized fenced garden and a huge meadow right by my house, perfect for big walks and lots of exercise!
“Melissa dropped by a few days before looking after Rory, our cat, and was really lovely and friendly. She visited and fed Rory everyday at the time we requested, and even did an extra visit in the hot weather to check he was ok. Would definitely recommend.”

About: I have grown up in a family of dog lovers and cared for them all with a range of ages and different needs and wants. I currently work in a dog friendly office in castle field I can take dogs out around my working hours and any breaks needed in the day everyone loves dogs in my office, would not be short of any attention! Currently I am I university student and have a lot of spare time which I love to spend outside walking and taking little day trips. Currently I live in a apartment which has a locked balcony door (no one goes on it) and a front door which is locked aswell
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my lifelong experience caring for dogs. Since I was young, I’ve been looking after dogs for neighbors and family members, so I’ve developed a natural ability to bond with them quickly. I can easily earn their trust and engage them in playful activities, making them feel comfortable and happy while in my care. I work part-time, only three days a week, which gives me a very flexible schedule for pet care. This allows me to dedicate plenty of time to walking, playing, feeding, and giving pets the attention they need. Whether it’s daily check-ins, extended stays, or last-minute requests, I can easily adjust my routine to accommodate the needs of both pets and their owners. I only offer pet sitting in my home, as I prioritize my personal safety and feel more comfortable caring for pets in a familiar environment. My home provides a spacious and secure area where pets can move around freely, play, and feel at ease. I ensure a clean, comfortable, and pet-friendly space, giving them plenty of attention, exercise, and affection while their owners are away.
“Molly was absolutely brilliant with Jinxy! 🐈⬛❤️ She sent us photos and updates every day, which gave us such peace of mind knowing she was being so well looked after. She was also incredibly helpful when our flight was severely delayed and was able to help us out at the last minute. We honestly couldn’t have asked for anyone better. Thank you so much, Molly! ⭐️🤩🐈⬛”

“Nathan looks after our cats when we're away, and comes across as a kind, thoughtful cat sitter. He goes the extra mile to make sure we come home to well looked after cats (and house!). We trust him with our cats and have no problem recommending to others.”


“Leylee was amazing as always! Cats all fed and played out, poop scooped, and seemless key exchange as always. Lots of pics sent over too. Wouldn’t go to anyone else ! Thanks again Leylee Xx”


About: I’ve looked after dogs and cats for as long as I can remember and have always been the person friends and family rely on when they need someone dependable to care for their pets. I currently have a 3-year-old cocker spaniel called Ozzy, so I understand the importance of routine, exercise, patience and giving dogs the right balance of attention and calm. I also regularly look after my mother-in-law’s 4-year-old lab, Max, which has given me experience caring for larger, energetic dogs with different personalities and needs. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding, play, overnight care and sticking closely to routines that help pets feel settled and secure while their owners are away. I know how important trust and communication are when leaving your pet with someone else, so I always aim to provide thoughtful, reliable care and regular updates throughout. I work from home, so my routine is very flexible and I can plan pet care around each dog’s needs. I’m available for dog walks and home visits on weekdays between 11:30am and 2pm, and I’m also available at any time on weekends. I’m happy to work around regular routines, whether that means a steady walk, a lunchtime check-in, feeding, playtime, or simply giving your pet some company while you’re out. For walks and visits, I focus on keeping pets safe, settled and cared for in their usual routine. I’ll follow any instructions closely, make sure they have fresh water, food if needed, and give them attention, play or a calm walk depending on their needs. As a dog owner myself, I’m attentive to behaviour, exercise needs and giving dogs the right balance of play, structure and downtime. I always take time to understand each pet’s routine, personality and any specific requirements so they receive care that feels familiar and consistent. I’ll always keep owners updated, so you know your pet has been looked after properly while you’re out.

Lesley is a fantastic cat sitter. Excellent communication throughout and super reliable. She really took her time to cuddle, groom and play with our cat and Teddy clearly loved her. She also sent us lots of pictures and videos which was lovely and reassuring. We are really glad we found her and cannot recommend her enough!

Jess has been amazing with Eddie from the start, shes calm and confident with his reactivity on walks. Shes gained my full trust in knowing Eddie is in safe hands, even going as far as to fish the keys back through the door after posting to ensure Eddies wellbeing as our flight was delayed 6 hours!

Michelle did a great job looking after Mia while I was away. She was reliable, caring and kept me updated, which gave me peace of mind. Mia was happy and relaxed when I got home, so I couldn’t ask for more. I’d definitely recommend Michelle and would book her again!

Carol was an excellent sitter for our cat, Ralphy! We returned to a very happy and looked after lad. Carol kindly popped over before we went away to meet him and find out about his needs and accommodated everything we asked. Perfect communication throughout our trip. We will certainly be rebooking Carol for future trips :)

Our, usually shy, house cats warmed to Christine instantly. We returned home to two happy, healthy, cats who didn't seam too bothered that we'd disappeared for a week! We had lots of updates & pics from Christine while we were away which was really appreciated. We'd happily book Christine again.
Philippa has looked after Tigger and Tatty twice now and has been so caring with the two of them, you can see how visibly calm both cats are with her from her regular photo updates and when we return from holiday they have both been clearly well looked after! Would 100% recommend Philippa to anyone looking for a sitter!
Sam was simply amazing! We had constant contact throughout our trip, with lots of videos and updates that gave us real peace of mind while we were away. She was extremely helpful, reliable, and took great care of our cats. They bonded with her very quickly, which was lovely to see. We came home to happy, well-looked-after cats and couldn't have asked for a better sitter. I would definitely recommend Sam!
