“We have a Boarder Collie which we got just before Covid so he doesent like strangers coming in to the house.

Michael kept us updated with pictures and when he had been fed etc . If you have a dog that’s nervous or anxious I highly recommend Michael he’s excellent your dog will receive 5 star service .”

She kept us updated with photos and videos every day, took great care of both Sumac and our home, and even fixed our coffee machine!!✨She’s super sweet, responsible, and easy to communicate with. This was our first time hiring a cat sitter, and I’m so glad it was Kimi — we’ll definitely be contacting her again!”

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life within my family home and recently moved out and got my own pup he’s 6 months old now and is amazing at listening due to the patience and work I’ve put into making him feel comfortable in his own home. I understand every dog is unique and have dealt with big and small dogs throughout my life. I know that dogs need both physical and mental stimulation in order to be as happy as they can be and I am happy to search activities to suit your dogs age and breed I’m currently at home a lot in the day which means I have a lot of spare time to play! I do have my own pup I need to care for but my partner can also look after him as and when needs be. Monday to Friday and free almost all day I’m happy to follow whatever routines you have for you furry friend, whether this includes playing, feeding or doing a silly dance I’m happy to do whatever you ask

About: I’ve got 2 cats and a dog myself I’ve done animal management courses in college Works on a farm, at a dog day care, kennels and vets I currently work full time and would like to be caring for animals full or part time and would definitely work around the animals daily I have always been around animals so I know what they would need and would know what to do when the time comes and would show the right care

About: I’ve always had and cared for dogs and more recently cats. I have looked after and walked family and neighbours dogs and cats as well as my own. A few years ago our Hungarian Vizsla, Poppy, died and I felt her lose greatly, she was one of the family and went everywhere with us, sharing our favourite past time of walking, hiking and enjoying the outdoors. More recently we adopted a cat that is our new furry member of the family. I love animals and am currently completing a Level 3 diploma in Canine care, behaviour and welfare to deepen my knowledge and understanding of canine psychology and behaviour. Please be assured that your pet will be given the best care and consideration and be treated like part of the family whilst being looked after. I am currently transitioning from being a primary school teacher after opting for voluntary redundancy to embrace a new direction and adventure. Caring is in my nature and personality and something I get great personal satisfaction from. I’m adept in waking early and having an active and busy schedule so feel this would enhance my lifestyle perfectly. I have a fenced secure garden. I have one cat who likes to come and say hello but is often on his own adventures. When walking your family member they will be on the lead until call and response is established. I am DBS cleared and have certification. Before caring for you furry family member I like to meet and greet and find out a bit more about them.

About: I’ve cared for pets of all shapes and sizes—bouncy pups, snuggly cats, and everything in between! From long walks to belly rubs to cozy cuddle time, I make sure your pets feel happy, loved, and right at home. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, administering medications, daily walks, and of course, plenty of playtime. Your furry friends will get the perfect mix of love, care, and attention while you’re away. 🐶🐱 I currently work part-time and spend a lot of time working from home, which means my schedule is flexible and allows me to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. Whether it’s walks, feeding, playtime, or just keeping your furry friend company, I can easily fit their needs into my routine. Since I’m home often, I can provide consistent care, regular check-ins, and lots of love to make sure your pet feels safe and happy while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. I make sure every environment is pet-friendly—free from hazards, with secure spaces for play, rest, and relaxation. Whether I’m in your home or welcoming your pet into mine, I treat your space and your pets with the same respect and care I would my own. I also take time to get to know each pet’s routine, personality, and needs so they feel comfortable and secure. From keeping feeding and walk schedules consistent to giving lots of affection and attention, I work hard to create a space where pets feel safe, loved, and at ease while you’re away.

“Karen and Steve did an amazing job of looking after our cat, Perky whilst we were away with two drop in visits per day. Perky may be getting on a bit but he had a lovely time being looked after, not sure he wanted us to come back. Came back to a happy and healthy cat. Would happily recommend Karen and Steve to anyone, it is clear they know what they are doing and love animals.”


“Amazing!!! Rob was fantastic sitting both my cats, he was also very respectful of my house, and when I got home both my cats seemed really happy, chilled and stress free which is very important to me as my cats mean the world to me... Thank you Rob for everything, will definitely book with you again 😁”


About: I am a calm, patient and playful person that loves animals! Ever since I was a young child, I grew up surrounded by animals, especially cats and dogs. I had to interact with all sorts of animals, so I’m familiar with their behavior and body language. I am a patient person, who respects personal space and understand when they want to be left alone. I also love playing with them and keep them entertained, stroke and groom them. I am currently on a gap year so I’m always at home. I am free all the time so I’m available any time of the day I live in a 3 bedroom house with a spacious fenced garden where your pets could spend some time outside if desired. I have a neutered 2 year old male cat that’s very friendly and loving, would go along with your pet. I am open to any requirements that you have.

I currently work in a dog daycare which I previously volunteered at, overall I have been here 3 years. Although this is my current job, I do have a lot of availability to care for your pets so if you just pop me a message, I can arrange a time and date suitable to your needs.

If you need a regular walker, please message me and we can arrange a time and date that would be suited to you and your dog’s needs! I will ensure that your pet is receiving the best care whilst I visit your home. If you have a specific place for your pet to be, I will ensure they are there. I will also ensure that your pet has fresh water and food (if you wish for me to do so).

About: I've taken care of family dogs since I was a teen and trained them. I'm very hands on and regularly watch a friends energetic pup each week. I am local to Wigan and can drive to you and also use the car to explore new areas nearby that your dog might not have experienced yet! My flexibility in work shifts means that I can be available at variable hours so I'm happy to find a plan that works for you. I currently work full time but I have a mixture of shifts with quite a few rest days throughout the week. I also have a full week off each month which provides more flexibility. My calendar reflects the days that I am completely available all day. I may be able to provide services on days that I am working but this will depend on timing, I am happy to discuss. I will respect your property and abide by your house rules. I will keep a close eye on your dog and make sure they are safe at all times. Happy to walk/watch/bathe your dog.

“Lauren stayed the night at my house to look after our kitten, and was absolutely fantastic. She went above and beyond in every category, even looking after her and cleaning up her upset tummy, far more than we ever expected. House was left in the same state as we left it and she even fed my fish, will definitely have Lauren back when we next go away. Thank you so much!”
