Dog Sitting Wigan

About: Hi, we’re Caitlin & Jak from Atherton, Manchester and love being outdoors with animals on our days off! Due to work commitments, we are unable to have a furry friend of our own, which is why we love to care for dogs of different ages, sizes, and temperaments during our days off! This being said, we are reliable and attentive and treat every dog like they’re our own. We’ve grown up around dogs our whole life and currently have two Weimaraners and a Cocker Spaniel in the family, so we’re comfortable with high-energy breeds, regular walks, playtime, and keeping dogs engaged but settled. We are familiar with daily walks, feeding routines, and providing lots of playtime and companionship. We also understand how important communication is, so make sure owners receive regular updates, photos, and quick responses while they’re away. What sets us apart is our calm, observant approach — we pay close attention to each pet’s behaviour so they feel safe, comfortable, and settled. We adapt to each animal’s individual needs. So if this sounds like the type of service you’re looking for to keep you and your pets happy, drop us a message! I’m a newly qualified nurse with a caring, responsible nature and a genuine love for animals and humans! On my days off, I enjoy spending as much time outdoors as possible, whether that’s going for long walks, runs, or exploring new places. I also run for a local club, so I’m very active and used to keeping up with energetic dogs who enjoy plenty of exercise and stimulation. Being active outdoors is a big part of my lifestyle, which makes dog walking and pet care something I truly enjoy. My boyfriend is also in the military, so when he’s away for periods of time I really value the companionship animals bring. I genuinely enjoy having pets around, giving them attention, company, and keeping them happy and settled while their owners are away or working. Although I live in a spacious two-bedroom apartment, I’m very close to local parks, walking trails, and plenty of green space, so dogs will still get lots of outdoor time, exercise, and stimulation. There’s also access to secure garden areas nearby for shorter walks and toilet breaks. I also drive, which means I’m flexible and able to travel to local homes to care for pets in their own familiar environment if preferred.

About: Dogs have always been part of my family - I have owned and looked after dogs since I was a child. If it's going for walks, playing games with toys, treats or cuddles rest assured your best friend will be well looked after in a relaxed and safe environment. Currently I own 2 French bulldogs myself so I am often taking them for walks in green areas like Pennington Flash or The 3 Sisters. I'm currently working from home but with flexible hours so I can look after for your dog any day of the week. Either in mornings -evenings are fine. Clean, relaxed, safe environment and accommodation catered towards your dog’s needs. Spacious and secure garden/yard area for play Comfortable sleeping area Lots of Snacks/treats Lots of attention & care -play with dog toys or a cuddle on the couch. Daily walks/exercise and socialization with other friendly dogs (if your dog is social!) Regular updates and photos I have a fenced garden area with a locked gate yard to ensure your dog can play freely and safe at my home. I have a dog pen if needed too. I Offer a meet and greet before you decide to book and a free day where I have your pet for a couple of hours or for the day so I can get to know them and their routine.

“Halle is currently looking after Romeo senior 16ywar old Chihuahua. Romeo has only ever been left with family and has quickly built a trusted relationship with Halle over a short period of time. Halle is calm and caring with Romeo, the pictures are reassuring and I look forward to getting them. It’s reassuring as a pet owner to know Romeo feels relaxed and safe with Halle”

About: My name is Sam and I have over 15 years of hands on experience caring for, handling and working with large breed dogs. I have eight rescue dogs of my own and have also been fortunate enough to have ex-police dogs in my care. Over the years, I’ve helped rescue, rehabilitate and rehome dogs, including nervous, reactive and more challenging dogs. This is not just a job to me. Dogs are my passion, and nothing makes me happier than seeing a dog enjoying itself, gaining confidence and getting the stimulation it needs. I genuinely believe dogs deserve to experience life, not just be taken around the same block every day. Every walk is tailored around your dog and what you, as the owner, are comfortable with. That might be a steady walk around your local area, a longer countryside walk, time at a secure private dog field or, for dogs booked into my care for longer periods, trips to the beach and other new places. Nothing is done without the owner’s permission, and I always take the time to understand each dog’s personality, routine and needs. I offer both short and long distance walks, and I make sure your dog receives the full time you have paid for. Travel time is never taken out of the walking time. If you book an hour, your dog gets a full hour on the ground, moving, exploring, playing and enjoying itself. I am confident with large, powerful, nervous and reactive dogs. I am fully insured, wear a body camera while working for extra reassurance, and treat every dog in my care with the same patience, protection and respect that I give my own. To me, dogs are family. They are special animals with their own personalities, feelings and needs, and any dog trusted to me will be cared for properly, kept safe and given the chance to genuinely enjoy its time outdoors. Dog walking and pet care are my full time job, and I treat them with the same commitment and professionalism as any other full time business. I work from a diary, so each day is planned around booked walks, pick-ups, drop-offs, training sessions and the individual needs of the dogs in my care. My availability depends on the diary, but I always make sure every booking has the proper time set aside for it. I never rush one dog to get to the next, and travel time is not taken out of the walk or care time you have paid for. Your dog’s safety will always come first. I am fully insured and use a specially adapted dog transportation van fitted with secure, custom made, crash tested cages. I also wear a body camera on walks for added safety, accountability and peace of mind. I personally prefer to offer dogs more than the same walk around the block every day. Where suitable, I collect them and take them to a secure private dog-walking facility with one to two acres of space. This gives them the chance to run, explore, play and receive any appropriate obedience work or mental stimulation in a safe, controlled environment. I also offer countryside walks, with dogs kept on lead unless I know them well, have the owner’s permission and believe the area and circumstances are completely suitable. Any freedom is introduced carefully and responsibly, based on the individual dog rather than taking unnecessary risks. Dogs booked into my care for longer periods may also enjoy bigger days out, including trips to Lytham St Annes beach. I believe dogs should be given the chance to experience new places, different smells and proper outdoor freedom, while still being kept safe and following exactly what their owner is comfortable with. My home has secure, fenced areas at both the front and back. Owners are normally expected to provide their dog’s usual food so their diet remains consistent. Where feeding has been agreed for a longer stay, I use Orijen complete kibble unless the owner has requested or supplied a specific diet. Every routine, feeding requirement and instruction will be discussed before the booking begins.

About: Hi! I’m Ellie, I’m 19 and currently saving up to travel around Australia. I’ve always loved animals and genuinely enjoy spending time with them, so pet sitting is something I’m really excited to do! (i do cheaper when paying cash) My availability is the following: Monday - Tuesday : All Day/Night Wednesday : [00:00-17:00] [22:00-00:00] Thursday : [00:00-17:00] [22:00-00:00] Friday : [00:00-16:00] Saturday : [00:00-12:00] Sunday : [00:00-12:00] [22:00-00:00] I have my own gorgeous Border Collie called Myron. He’s super intelligent, full of energy, and needs lots of exercise, attention and mental stimulation every day. Because of him, I’m very used to caring for dogs that need more than just a quick walk and dinner, but would also love looking after pets who are low maintenance and need space! I love playing with pets, keeping them entertained, and making sure they’re happy. I also have an adopted cat who is naturally very nervous and anxious. When we first got him, he wouldn’t come anywhere near us, but over the years I’ve built up his trust by being patient and respecting his boundaries. One of his biggest milestones recently was finally choosing to sit on our laps (while still keeping a careful eye on everything going on!). Looking after him has taught me a lot about understanding anxious pets and letting them settle at their own pace. As part of my Animal Care course, I spent a year doing work experience at both an animal rescue centre and an equestrian riding centre. I learned how to carry out basic health checks, keep enclosures clean, feed and care for different animals, and make sure they were comfortable and well looked after.(this includes guinea pigs, bunnies, cats and kittens) I also gained experience looking after horses, including feeding, grooming and general stable duties. I also volunteered with a sea turtle conservation project in Kefalonia, which was an amazing experience. I helped relocate vulnerable nests when needed, carried out morning beach surveys, took part in beach cleans, and used red lights when guiding hatchlings to the sea to avoid disturbing them. It taught me a lot about caring for wildlife while respecting their natural behaviours. I’m a friendly, reliable, respectful and caring person, and I’d love to give your pets the same love, attention and care that I’d want for my own. Whether they’re energetic and playful, shy and nervous, or just love lots of cuddles, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy and well looked after while you’re away. PS - I am also consistent with cleaning and keeping places tidy. I can’t wait to meet you and your pets! I work part-time, so I have a flexible schedule and can easily work around my shifts to make sure your pets get the care and attention they need. I typically work about 3 days a week. At home, my mum is the primary carer for my own pets, so I’m usually free to look after other pets without any issues. The only exception is if she’s away, as I’d need to stay home with my own animals. However, I’d still be happy to help with shorter visits, such as dog walks or toilet breaks. If your dog is friendly and you’d be happy for them to have some company, I could even bring my dog, Myron, along on walks / to your house so they can enjoy some social time together! Whenever I’m looking after someone’s pet, I always take the time to get to know them first so I can understand their personality, routine, and what makes them happy. Every pet is different, so I like to make sure their care is tailored to their individual needs. I have experience caring for pets with different personalities. My cat, Charlie, is quite anxious, so I’ve learned how important it is to be patient, gentle, and give him the space he needs to feel comfortable. My dog, Myron, is very intelligent and needs lots of mental stimulation as well as exercise, so I’m used to keeping him busy with training, games, and fun walks. Whether I’m caring for pets in my own home or at an owner’s home, I’ll stick to their usual routine as much as possible, including feeding, walks, playtime, medication if needed, and, of course, plenty of love and attention. My main goal is to make sure every pet feels safe, happy, and comfortable while you’re away.

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and caring for them has always come naturally to me. My first pet was a Labrador–Alsatian cross, who I absolutely adored and who sparked my love for dogs from a young age. Since then, I’ve also owned two Jack Russell Terriers, Jack and Russell, who I regularly walked together. Dogs are a big part of my family life, and I’ve often helped out by pet-sitting, feeding, and walking relatives’ dogs. I’m very comfortable and confident around all types of dogs and genuinely enjoy spending time with them. I would love the opportunity to meet and care for new dogs, giving them the attention, exercise, and care they deserve. I am currently working part-time while finishing my studies at university, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for your pets. I am available for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting throughout the week and weekends. I always prioritise your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine. I will follow any instructions you provide closely, including feeding schedules, walking preferences, and any specific needs your dog may have. I make sure pets are kept secure on walks and in the home, and I take the time to build trust so they feel calm and comfortable with me. I’m confident handling different breeds and temperaments, and I’ll always treat your pet as if they were my own.

About: I’ve cared for animals my whole life and currently have 3 dogs of my own whom have very different personalities and energy levels. I hold a level 1 degree in animal management and I’ve directly worked on a farm with many different breeds and temperaments (including working dogs and guard dogs). This gave me experience in clear handling, reading body language early and making sure every dog feels understood and safe. All pets in my care get treated like my own consistency, kindness and respect. I can follow routines whatever they may be, and I’m extremely reliable and communicative. I’m comfortable with every breed and personality! I keep updates consistent so you always know how your pet is and what they are doing so your never wondering what’s happening. Looking after other people’s pets fits really naturally into my weekly routine. I already have structured daily routines so adding walks, drop-ins or care for your pets is easy for me to integrate without rushing or cutting corners. I stay consistent, organised and present so your pet gets calm, relaxed care every single time. My dogs get walked twice a day and have plenty of active playtime in the garden in between. I also use enrichment + puzzle games daily to give them mental stimulation, problem solving and calm focus so it’s not just physical exercise it’s balanced brain work to. When they aren’t in play or training they nap and decompress.
