About: I absolutely adore animals, growing up surrounded by both dogs and cats. I currently own 3 cats with my partner, and had my beautiful golden retriever Talar with me for 14 years until she very sadly passed. I like to spend my spare time horse riding, and have frequently cared for pets for friends whilst away on holiday. As a genuine animal lover with over 10 years of pet care experience, I provide a calm, safe, and loving environment where your pet can feel comfortable, settled, and well cared for while you are away. I understand that every pet is different, with their own personality, routines, and individual needs. I take the time to get to know each pet and make sure their care is tailored to what helps them feel relaxed, happy, and secure. Your pet’s wellbeing and your peace of mind are very important to me. I provide regular photo and video updates throughout their stay, so you can see how they are settling in and enjoy reassurance that they are happy, safe, and receiving plenty of love and attention. I currently work full time as a customer service manager but I’m looking into transitioning my career into an animal care focused sector. I can offer full time care most weekends and evening care after 5PM. I will also have some full day weekday availability at periods. I like to offer meet and greets before committing to any care to ensure both you and your pet are as comfortable as possible with the services I offer. It’s so important to understand each pets needs as their personalities can be so individual. I’m comfortable with all size, breed and temperament of both cats and dogs, including walking, bathing, brushing, playing and feeding.

About: My animal behaviour degree and rescue work allows me to work with all types of animals, providing a safe environment for them to thrive in I am currently working a flexible job from home, which means I can easily work around you and your pets needs as animals often thrive on routine. I have previous experience in pet sitting and understand that it can be a daunting time. As well as your pet care needs, I am there to ensure the safety of your home whilst you are away. Please feel free to get in touch about any additional needs such as: watering the plants, bringing in any mail and so forth

About: I have over 20 years of experience caring for dogs of all breeds, ages and personalities. I run a dog walking service and have supported friends, family and local clients with regular walks, feeding routines and pet pop-ins. I focus on calm, safety-first care, small groups and on-lead walks to ensure every dog feels secure, happy and well looked after. Pet care fits neatly into my weekday routine, with availability for morning dog walks and pet pop-in visits. I focus on providing calm, unrushed care, so I limit the number of dogs I take on and keep a consistent routine that works well for both pets and owners. Safety is always my top priority. All walks are on-lead, routes are planned carefully, and dogs are never rushed or over-grouped. I closely follow each pet’s routine, provide updates during visits, and treat every home with respect. I’m calm, reliable, and fully focused on ensuring pets feel safe and settled in my care.

“Suzy took absolutely wonderful care of our boy, who was absolutely smitten with her! Great communication and looked after our house too. A really lovely person who we would not hesitate to recommend to others”

About: I have had cats for 13 years and have had a dog for 4 years. I do feeding, cat litter trays, fresh waters every day and have also administered insulin for my diabetic cat (who I sadly lost last year) and have also administered thyronorm through a syringe for my 13 year old cat who has hypothyroidism. My whole routine from the minute I get up is all focused on my animals, I have 3 cats & 1 dog. One of my cats was a stray abandoned cat but after much searching for his owners know one came froward so I got him neutered & gave him a home. I am not scared of getting stuck in with changing cat litter trays, picking up dogs or cats poops. I have worked in dog groomers, dog kennels & have also done a placement at dogs trust many years ago. I have all of the relevant certificates & diplomas from doing animal care at college but am looking into doing a first aid course for animals & also maybe doing some dog training also. Until I get my confidence up in walking others dogs I will only be accepting small to medium dogs but I'm hoping one day I can move up too big dogs & offering more services surrounding looking after peoples animals as I know how thinking of them when having work commitments and holidays can be tough. My diabetic cat actually came with me to many holidays as I knew she needed her diabetic medication without fail. I am looking forward to starting this journey and meeting new owners and their pets (just don't be surprised when we do meet ill automatically be talking straight to the animals first as always haha) thank you. So I am currently off work at the moment for 6 weeks as I work in a primary school. This works around my child. However on a typical working day I would wake up in the morning, feed all of the cats, change their waters & so their cat litter trays. I would then get myself ready & take my child to school. On returning home I would take my dog for her first walk of the day for around 20 minutes. I would then come home and get ready for work at 10am. After finishing work at 2pm I'd wait for my son to finish school, collect him at 3pm and make our way home. At home I would feed the cats as soon as I get in, clear away any cat poop that's been done why I've been at work, I would then take my dog out for her second walk of the day, usually about half an hour walk. After coming in from that it would be tea time for us & settling down for the night. Around 7pm my cats would get their 3rd meal of the day & this would fit in with my cats medication times so he would have his thyroid medication around 30 minutes after his morning feed and then 30 minutes after his night time feed (12 hours apart) and depending on how my dogs energy levels are she may have a 3rd walk but this isn't a daily thing. They all have their little treats throughout the day trying not to over feed them with treats. So having only experience from my neighbours & friends who have asked me too look after their cats in the past, I would gain access too the property asking that doors where the pets are, are secure where possible so my friends house, her front door going into the house I asked could the living room door be closed just so I can gain access safely and there is no risk of her cats running out onto the road why she was on holiday, I would do as I was asked I.E feeding, waters, I would give a little fuss so having a little stroke & head bump with them and try where possible to clean up after them so not only did I do the cat litters I also brushed around the cat litter to pick up any on the ground, also for my other neighbour I washed their food bowls each day before leaving. Their safely is always my key focus so if they are allowed outside I would always pop back occasionally to ensure they was able to get back into the property especially in rain weather and if they are strictly indoor cats like mine then again I would ask where possible to keep the animals in a place where they cannot run out when I try to gain access. Also when it is hot weather I would pay close attention to the guidelines on temperatures when walking dogs and would not expose any dogs or cats too extreme heat. This would be discussed on the meet and greet and would be agreed upon each individual how that would work. If its safer for the animals to just go outside to toilet then I would make sure not to leave when my time is up I would ensure the safety first and ensure every animal was nice & cool before leaving the property.

“Very caring, attentive and responsible. CoCo was really well looked after and seemed very happy and comfortable. Communication was great throughout, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. I really appreciated the care and attention given to CoCo and would happily book again. Highly recommended!”

About: I’m a qualified veterinary nurse with many years of hands-on experience caring for both cats and dogs. My professional background means I’m confident administering medications, monitoring health, and responding calmly to a wide range of needs. I understand that every pet has their own personality — from confident and playful to shy, anxious, or independent — and I always tailor my care to suit them. I’m experienced with reactive dogs and use calm, patient, positive handling to help them feel safe and understood while in my care. I also have experience with puppy training, helping reinforce good habits, basic commands, and routines, as well as providing gentle, attentive care for senior pets who may need extra patience, comfort, or medical support. I know how stressful it can be leaving your pets when you go away, so my goal is to give you complete peace of mind by treating your pets as if they were my own and keeping you updated every step of the way. Currently work 4 days a week. Weekends are available for pet sitting either in your home or in my home. I have Tuesdays available for dog walking and home visits. Additional availability during time off work. Your dog will be welcomed into a calm, safe, and caring home environment. I have a fully fenced garden where dogs can enjoy secure outdoor time, play, and supervised breaks throughout the day. Inside, I have an enclosed kitchen area that can comfortably fit a large crate if your dog is crate-trained or benefits from having their own quiet space. I share my home with two dog-friendly cats, so any dog staying with me must be comfortable around cats. I’m experienced at managing introductions and ensuring everyone feels safe and relaxed. I also live in an area with plenty of dog-walking routes, allowing for regular walks tailored to your dog’s energy level, age, and needs — from gentle strolls to more active outings. My goal is to provide a home-from-home experience where your dog feels settled, cared for, and happy while you’re away.

“Danielle is a fantastic cat sitter, who was able to put my (normally anxious) cat immediately at ease. She’s helpful, professional and super friendly. Having her look after Millie makes going away from home that little bit easier. Thank you, Danielle! ”

About: I've owned and cared for dogs, cats and horses from a young age, from large breeds such as German Shepherds to small breeds like Toy Poodles. I have experience with puppies, senior, nervous and reactive dogs, including raising two litters of puppies. I understand that every dog is different and will always adapt to their individual needs. 💜 I currently work part-time, giving me plenty of flexibility for walks and drop-in visits. I can offer a range of times throughout the week and will always do my best to accommodate your routine. Your pet's safety and happiness are my priority. I take care to follow their usual routines and needs, with secure handling, plenty of attention and access to safe outdoor spaces for walks.

“Jane visited us and Albert our miniature dachshund a few weeks before she took care of him, she was obviously very knowledgeable about dogs (more so than us!) and was instantly Albert’s new best friend. We hadn’t left him before for a number of hours so we wanted someone to check in on him and keep him company, and I’m glad we picked Jane. She did a great job playing with him and kept us updated with photos and videos. Can’t recommend her enough and really glad we’ve found her - we’ve already booked her again! Thanks Jane!”

About: Hello! I am a passionate and dedicated animal lover who considers caring for pets an absolute joy rather than just a job. Having grown up surrounded by animals, I have built a deep understanding of pet behavior, body language, and individual needs, ensuring every animal in my care feels safe, loved, and right at home. ​I offer a range of personalized services designed to fit your pet's exact routine, including home boarding, drop-in visits, and secure dog walking. Standard walks typically last between 30 to 60 minutes, packed with plenty of exercise, sniffing time, and fun, while drop-in visits include feeding, fresh water, playtime, and toilet breaks. ​I primarily care for dogs and cats who are friendly, well-socialized, and comfortable around a home environment. My setup is warm, secure, and pet-friendly, though overly aggressive animals or those with severe, unmanaged behavioral issues may not be the best fit for my space. ​You can rely on me to maintain your pet's daily routine closely, keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages while you are away, and handle any situation with a calm, safety-first approach. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member! ​I keep a flexible schedule that allows me to be largely at home with pets. I am fully available to provide dedicated attention, regular toilet breaks, play sessions, and constant supervision throughout the day. Safety is my top priority. I maintain a secure, escape-proof environment, closely monitor pets for any signs of stress or hazards, and strictly follow any specific dietary or care instructions provided by the owner.

“Fantastic service cannot rate Damon enough. He is well loved by both our Cats. They love that he pays them attention and fusses them as well as feeding them. You can tell he loves animals. Will definitely be using him again.”

About: I've always loved animals and have had a passion for them for a while. I've been brought up my whole life around all types of animals thanks to having a brother who's a vet, whether it's cats or dogs or even horses; so I've had my fare share of helping to look after them all. I've spent my whole life mainly around cats due to having them while I was growing up, however I do also know about dogs thanks to my neighbours and lovely friends who whenever they're in need of help to look after their dogs I'm more than willing to do so. Im currently a full time uni student who is expected to be in 3 days a week (Monday, Tuesdays and Thursdays). I’m available all day Wednesday and Fridays, and my availability on Tuesdays and Thursdays can be any time after 3pm with Mondays being later at about 6pm. If weekend walks or visits are needed i am more than willing to do so however these will need to be discussed in advance! Please be mindful of the fact that my availability can change. Also FYI I am available for anywhere in Westhoughton should anyone around that area require my services as I don’t want anyone to think I’m only available for Wigan/Hindley area My first priority for dogs is making sure they are safe and can trust and be comfort ale with me as their sitter. I will always make sure to keep my eyes on them no matter where they are. Leads will always be kept on while waking, if we are in a field and there’s no dogs then I’m happy to take the lead off with the knowledge that the dog is good with other dogs around them. However I do know not all dogs are trained correctly so leads will be kept on if I feel that the other dogs may pose a risk. I will always make sure to keep your house the same way you left it, and I will make sure to make you aware if anything happens. Whether that’s your pup doing an accident inside the house or even if it’s just a simple update letting you know what your pups been up to during the time they’ve been with me.
