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

“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! ”

“Jess is really patient, professional and reliable. It is clear from the offset that she has your dogs best interests at heart and I know that I can trust her. Jess completed a meet and greet session and really took the time to get to know my dog before we started visits. I would recommend Jess to anyone looking for a reliable dog sitter.”

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.
About: *Please feel free to query any dates showing unavailable as this just could be due to working night shifts but I may be able to fit you in around my working hours* I've taken care of family dogs since I was a teen and trained them. I'm very hands on and regularly watch a spirited cockapoo each week and also regularly dog sit for the most energetic staffy I've ever met. 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.
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.

“Lauren will forever be my sitter of choice. So thorough in her care & the pictures I get are the absolute best. Thank you so much Lauren for the outstanding care & love you give my pup like he’s your own.”


About: Having three dogs of my own, I am no stranger to fur on my clothes and a few extra shadows. I have cared for a range of dogs throughout my life, of all shapes, sizes and needs. I have experience with all ages, backgrounds (ie. Rescues) and temperaments - with experience in training and working with reactive dogs. I currently work full time and am only available on weekends but am happy to book in the occasional weekdays etc. if needed. I work from home so I will be with your pet 24/7. Please message with any enquiries and I will do my best to accommodate. I have a large, fenced back garden with plenty of room to run and play. My dogs are excellently trained and friendly to all. Dogs will get minimum one walk per day at a length that suits their individual needs, with plenty of play and enrichment.

About: All-day supervision (work-from-home care) – constant presence, not drop-in only Kitten care – playtime, feeding routines, and safety monitoring Cat-proofed, clean home – preventing access to harmful items or unsafe areas Litter box maintenance – frequent cleaning to keep cats comfortable and healthy Behavior awareness – noticing stress, appetite changes, or unusual behavior Safe separation of spaces – keeping cats away from kitchens, bathrooms, and doors Enrichment & play – toys, interactive play, and mental stimulation Routine-focused care – feeding, play, and rest on a consistent schedule I specialize in caring for cats and kittens in a calm, clean, and safe home environment. I work from home full-time, which allows me to provide constant supervision, playtime, and companionship. I’m experienced in maintaining clean litter boxes, keeping cats away from unsafe areas, and ensuring they have proper food, fresh litter, and engaging toys. I pay close attention to behavior and comfort so each cat feels relaxed and secure. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I work from home five days a week. This allows me to be present throughout the day to feed, supervise, play, and check on cats regularly rather than leaving them alone for long periods. I structure my day around the cat’s needs, including regular feeding times, litter box cleaning, interactive play sessions, and quiet rest time. Since I’m home most of the time, I can quickly notice any changes in behavior, appetite, or comfort and respond right away. I care for pets by creating a calm, clean, and safe environment while following each pet’s usual routine as closely as possible. I make sure cats have fresh food and water, a clean litter box, and plenty of attention throughout the day. Because I work from home, I’m able to provide frequent check-ins, supervision, and interactive playtime, as well as quiet companionship for cats who prefer a calmer presence. I keep my home cat-proofed by separating pets from the kitchen, bathroom, and front door to prevent accidents or unsafe access. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and carefully follow all instructions for feeding, litter cleaning, play, and any special needs. I pay close attention to behavior and comfort, keeping owners updated so they feel confident their pet is safe, happy, and well cared for.
About: Having had pets all my life and caring for a wide variety of animals, I now want to offer my experience to others. Pet care is easy to find, but finding the right pet care — care that truly suits you and meets your best friend’s individual needs — can feel much harder. Having struggled myself to find the right care for my senior, diabetic dog, I understand how important trust, patience, and attention to detail really are. I understand worries about medication schedules, routines, and whether your pet will receive the same level of care and understanding that you provide at home. This experience inspired me to offer a pet sitting service built around compassion, reliability, and tailored care. I treat every animal as an individual, taking time to understand their personality, health needs, and routines, so you can feel confident they are safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for whilst in my care. As I work from home, I am flexible in terms of your times and specific needs. I will eventually offer a boarding service which will consist of a dedicated space for your cat. I will care for your pet as if they were my own, always prioritising their comfort, safety, and wellbeing. Before any booking, I arrange a meet‑and‑greet to ensure I fully understand both your pet’s individual needs and your expectations. I treat every home with the utmost respect and care, recognising that I am being welcomed into your personal space. By taking time to build trust quickly with both you and your pet, I aim to ease any feelings of worry or anxiety while you’re away. If desired, I am happy to provide regular photo and video updates with each drop‑in visit, offering you peace of mind and reassurance.

“Indiana has been brilliant from start to finish, i couldnt recommend her enough. She is quick at responding and came round for a meet and greet within a few days, her experience and knowledge showed in conversation. She has provided really good updates on my cats whilst ive been away including pictures which i loved. She communicated if there was any problems with getting to my house on time which i appreciated. Ive been able to relax knowing my babies are in good hands. I will use her again in the future.”

Katie was amazing! She took great care of my cat, kept me updated with photos and messages, and even tidy the cupboard where I keep the cat food. I came home to a happy cat 😉. I wouldn’t hesitate to book Katie again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful and reliable cat sitter.

Kellyann was amazing and our cat felt really comfortable with her even though he is a bit shy with strangers. She has put in a lot of effort into looking after our furry baby boy and they developed a very strong bond. Kellyann was very professional and has made us feel comfortable about our cat’s wellbeing. She sent updates on each visit including lots of pictures and videos. We are really satisfied and we will continue to work with her. 🫶🏻❤️

Marie? There is no one like Marie! Wonderful in all aspects of cat loving care. If it's not Marie for the cat sitting service, then it's hard to decide. She will go the extra mile showing 100% commitment, dedication and trust. Affectionate with cats and capable of handling special needs, such as medication administration. Exceptional communication, providing plenty of excellent photo and video updates. Marie is our precious, caring, little diamond. ♡
Danielle looked after our two ladies whilst we were away for 10 nights and she was absolutely fantastic ! She showed them as much love and attention as we do. We came home to two very happy kitties. The time she spent with them on each visit shows just how much she loves animals. Danielle updated us with pictures and videos from every visit and kept us up to date of how much they were eating. Would highly recommend Danielle and I will most definitely be booking with her again 🩷

I cannot recommend Vivian enough!!! The communication was absolutely brilliant. She is so warm and friendly and you can see how much she loves cats. Our cat has been so well looked after and we will definitely be booking with Vivian again. Thank you so much !!!

Pion looked after our two cats for a few days whilst we were away. She communicated well with us to make us feel comfortable that they were being well looked after and even sent us videos each day of them. If going away again I would use Pion again, thank you very much.
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.
