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.

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: I live alone so my full care and attention will be for your gorgeous pet. Not having pets myself means I thoroughly enjoy the experience of looking after others. I work a variety of different jobs, but also can work from home so I am flexible with dog sitting, walking and overnight stays. Can also accommodate last minute bookings. I have a large fenced open garden with a patio area and a large grass area. I live right on the canal which is perfect for long walks.

Atherton, M46

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: 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: My name is Roseane, but many people call me Rose. I’m Brazilian and I live with my husband and my Corgi, Ruby. I used to do Rover a few years ago before I had Ruby, but I’ve returned so she can have some company to play with. I already have a few regular dogs that I walk. If you have any questions, just let me know! I stay at home a lot, when I'm not there my husband is who also loves dogs, there's just me and him in our house I prefer to take care of him at home, we play a lot, I take him for walks two or three times a day and he has toys. Thank you.

About: Over the years I have looked after family and friends pets when they are on holiday or whenever they are busy. After moving to Wigan I am longing for a four legged companion to go for walks and to care for. I have 3 years experience of looking after dogs. I am currently work remotely from home as a video editor freelancer, so I have a ton of time and full attention to look after your pet. I currently live in a 3 bed house, with an fenced garden. We don't have any pets at the moment but would love to get one in the near future. We also have plenty of places to go for walks in our area. I am currently working remotely whilst my partner works part-time remotely so there will always be someone at home watching over your pet. We also love looking after pets during the weekends as we love going on longer walks then. For boarding, we have a fenced garden where doggies can stretch thier legs and go potty. We also ask you about your pets daily routine and stick to it as closely as possible to make it more comfortable for your pets.
