About: I have had different animals my whole life. I have had cats for over 10 years and had dogs for about 7. I am well equipped to handle most things that come my way and will treat your pet with as much love as I do my own as I know your pet is as much a part of the family as any of us. I work from home 4 days a week so I am available to walk throughout the day and evenings as well as taking them somewhere nice at the weekend for a big walk! I have a gated and fenced back garden. I also have a dog which I share with my mum so he can be here to keep your fur baby company or if they are more of a solo dog I can have a dog free house on arrival. I have crates available for small and medium/large dogs so that’s one less thing you’ll need to pack!

About: We both have grown up with pets. We’re the designated pet sitters for our family and friends. From long walks to sleepovers, we welcome your furry family member with loving arms 🐶❤️ We both work full time but have flexible work from home schedules during the week. We’re also avaliable most weekends, which gives us plenty of time to care for your pet. We provide a safe, loving and pet friendly home filled with cuddles and attention. Every pet is cared for based on their individual needs and routines, making sure they feel right at home 🐾
“Emily was great with Bonnie. Bonnie is quite a nervous dog, and she got plenty of attention and also her own space when she needed it. We got plenty of updates and pictures which was very reassuring. Would definitely recommend and would be more than happy to leave Bonnie again if needed. Thank you Emily and family!”

“I received lots of photos, videos and updates during Momo and Mochi's stay so felt reassured that they were well looked after. Ko L even set up a special room for them to sleep with a little tent etc which was very nice of her. I would definitely book again.”
About: After losing Poppy (large mixed breed, aged 11) our hearts have been left with a huge gaping paw sized hole and we decided to help fill this with the help of dogsitting 🐾🐶 I'm not ready to be a dog owner again but we are so used to having a dog in our lives that we decided dog sitting is a way to help fill a huge Poppy shaped void. We offer a warm home environment, access to lovely walks and plenty of cuddles and treats. I work full time and office based Monday to Wednesday I can only offer sitting from Wednesday evening to Sunday evening, BUT there may be the odd flexibility with this. Work from home on Thursday's and Friday's allowing almost constant company for dogs. Able to offer dog walking in the evenings and over the weekends. Have an 8 year old child (the human kind 🤣) but she has been around dogs of all sizes, all of her life. Fully insured, just beginning to build up a customer base that aligns with my availability. Fully secure garden. Dog friendly furniture. As mentioned access to walking places such as Bridgewater Canal and Lilford Park plus big spacious car for walks further afield.
About: Hi. I have had dogs of my own all my life- everything from working farm dogs to family pets! I have cared for dogs in my home for friends and family for 10 years. I am lucky enough to have a four acre garden which dogs love to explore on or off the lead. I also have a secure one acre dog exercise field. If your dog enjoys swimming 😁 they can take a dip in the pond too! I'm at home all day every day and able to ensure the highest level of care and attention to meet any individual dog's needs. I can administer medication as needed. I work full time at home and any dog I care for is with me all of that time. Walks can be on the lead or off in the secure field and are provided as requested by the owner in keeping with the dog's usual routine. Dogs are provided with as much exercise as thry need and when they are not outside they are with me in the house in a settled family environment.
“Deborah was absolutely fantastic! She looked after Coco as if she were her own. We met beforehand for a little chat to get to know each other, and she was so welcoming and kind. Her calm and peaceful nature immediately put me at ease, and I knew Coco would be in great hands. Over the weekend, she kept me updated with photos and videos, which really helped as I was a bit nervous using Rover for the first time. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience - we’ll definitely be asking Deborah to look after Coco again!”

About: My mum has always had an irrational fear of dogs so have never had the honour to own one myself until I moved away from home. Growing up I have often dog sat for my godparents who have 2 beautiful miniature schnauzers and my neighbours Jack Russell. Since I was 19, I was using borrow my doggy to get experience with different dog breeds and learn the needs of each pup. I work full time primarily working from home with the odd day on site. I love spending time outdoors especially now with my cocker spaniel pup! I have a 3 bed house with a wrap around fenced garden for your pup to roam around in. I don’t allow any pets upstairs so should your pup stay overnight, they need to be okay sleeping downstairs. As I have a dog of my own, I do not take on non-neutered male dogs and they must get along well with other dogs.

About: Hi! We are a newly married couple in our 30s that have a love for dogs! Although we don’t have one of our own, our parents have both a pug and a sprocker which we regularly dog sit for. We also dog sit for our next door neighbour who has a cockerpoo! We are outdoorsy people and love walking and running so would be perfect dog sitters! I work from home so have the opportunity to be flexible for dog walks. All my evenings and weekends are free with no plans for 2026 at present! I have a double gated back garden so it is very secure. I have a quiet house on a cul de sac - we don’t have many passers by which is great for dogs that don’t like visitors or the post man!
About: Dogs have been in my family for years ever since I was young. I have cared for dogs ever since I can remember so much so that I had to get my own dog, Luna. Family dogs stay with us overnight occasionally and Luna gets on with them just fine, she loves their company and playtime. I work full time in the week and have weekends available to Dog Sit for the day or overnight stays. I work from home on a Friday and Monday so early drop offs or late pick ups are fine with me. My house has a fenced garden to allow your dog fresh air and lots of playtime. Luna loves to sit out here when the sun is shining and play ball. Luna is allowed on the couch and sleeps on the bed so you can be at ease knowing I would allow this for your fur baby. Luna is crate trained which allows her to feel comfortable staying on her own when I leave the house.
“Bully had a wonderful time with Rachael and her lovely family. She sent us regular updates of their daily walks and playtime. He was cuddled and petted which he absolutely loves. A big thank you to young Harry for looking after him too. Bully would love to come back and play with you again 😘 Thank you Rachael you’ve been brilliant 🤩 we had a great holiday especially knowing Bully was so well looked after”

About: I'm a homemaker and I take care of everything with attention and affection – including the animals. My dog Bela, who is now 15 years old, has always been my companion and my responsibility. I learned to care for her with patience, listening, and presence, from walks and feeding to moments of delicate health. Friends and neighbors have also trusted me to take care of their pets when they travel or need it. My care is constant, adapted to the needs of each animal, and always guided by respect and affection I wake up every day at 6 am and organize my house with dedication. This allows me to be available for the pets throughout the morning, afternoon, and evening. As a homemaker, I have the flexibility to offer full attention, walks, feeding, and boarding. Every moment with the animals is an extension of the care I already provide daily in my home I care with love in Atherton, in a calm home with a clean, fenced yard. I’m always present, offering daily attention, companionship, and care tailored to each pet’s age and personality. I have experience with senior dogs and I’m sensitive to their emotional and physical needs. If needed, I can safely use a crate with kindness and respect. Every guest here is treated like family
About: Hi , I’m Bev. I am a huge dog lover and have had dogs in my life since I was a little girl at home with mum and dad right through to today in my own home. I live by myself with my 11 yr old border terrier, Duncan who is the most calm and relaxed dog. I have also worked at the RSPCA previously. Happy to look after your four legged family, lots of walks, cuddles and playtime. No hesitation in sharing my bed for overnight sleeps and on the sofa during the day. Will happily send you pictures and videos of your dog whilst they are in my company and promise to ensure they are happy, healthy and loved. Happy to administer medication if needed, and happy to strictly adhere to any dietary requirements. I know not all dogs can enjoy a “treat”. Sorry but no large dogs due to the size of my home, just little dogs under 15kg please. 🐕 🐾 I have a very secure garden and live close to many parks. I have extra long leads so your dog will not be off lead but can still stretch their legs and have some sniffing and playtime. There are no children at my home and happy to arrange a meet and greet beforehand should you wish. If you have any further questions please do not hesitate to ask. Thankyou Bev I work full time during the week but weekends are empty and I am at home all weekend with Duncan my dog. Looking to help when you have plans for Saturday day / night I have a dog friendly home, no children and a secured back garden. Happy to arrange a meet and greet beforehand should you wish. Thanks
“Shirley was fantastic with Henry. He had a lovely time was like home away from home. Would definitely recommend her Henry not used to boarding but didn't feel like he'd missed us at all. Would definitely use again and would recommend her.”

Dexter had another wonderful stay with Melissa Paul and summer. He settles in straight away and loves playing ball on the field and snuggling on the couch.woyld like to say thank you all again for taking really good care of my boy and he can't wait to see you again at the end of January 🐶

We met up with Dylan prior to the board and immediately felt Dylan could not have been a better choice. Lovely surroundings and a homely feel. We had every confidence in leaving our beautiful German Shepherd with Dylan. Dylan was just what we were looking for and would highly recommend. So much better than leaving your dog in kennels. Dylan clearly is a dog lover and has everything a dog could need. Easily 5 stars.

Olivia was absolutely amazing! We’ve left our girls with strangers before and I was really anxious about it however from the first meeting she really put our minds at ease. Daily pictures& updates were welcome and it quickly became obvious that Olivia is a true dog lover. Olivia got know the girls personalities and clearly connected with them. The girls clearly loved their stay and truly had a holiday themselves. Thank you 🐾❤️

We’re so grateful for the way you cared for Teddy during the week he spent with you. It was clear he felt safe, happy, and well-loved in your care. You kept us updated regularly, which gave us peace of mind while we were away, and it was lovely to see how relaxed and playful he was. Thank you again for treating Teddy like one of your own. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend you to others and would happily book with you again in the future!

Sam did an exceptional job looking after Lulu. It was the first time she had ever stayed away from family but she had a fantastic time staying with Sam and his two dogs. We arranged a meet and greet before the stay which was a good opportunity for the dogs and Sam to meet. We could also talk through Lulus routine, likes / dislikes etc. During the stay Sam kept us regularly updated with lovely videos of all the dogs playing and out on their daily walk. Would highly recommend! Thank you Sam!

Marcio & his family have took Fabulous care of our little Nala while we where away on holiday, she was in a Beautiful Home from Home Environment filled with All the Love & Care you could every wish for.... Thank You So Much for taking such Great Care of our Little Fur Baby, Thank You.... Les & Ewelina xx

Natalie was absolutely amazing with our beagle Penelope, we have never left her before so it was hard to trust someone to look after her, Natalie was fantastic with her and gave us regular updates and pictures which made us feel at ease. I would definitely recommend Natalie and we will definitely be using her again, thank you so much xx

Toni and Jordan were amazing with out 5 year old bordaux/staff dexter. We had a last minute holiday booked and they were more than happy to have him for 8 days. It was my first time ever having night away from dexter and was quite worried but we knew thry were the perfect fit when we met up. They gave him so much attention and he had a little holiday of his own. They sent pictures and videos everyday which really eased any worries we had. I couldn't recommend them any more! I will 100% be using them again and probably only them as I know dexter was so happy and being looked after so well. Thank you!

Dexter had another wonderful stay with Elka and Jim. He has really bonded with them and was happy and settled. Elka took him for some good walks playing on the field with his ball launcher and doing a bit of training with him off lead and he loved it. Thank you Elka and Jim for taking really good care of me and I can't wait to stay again 🐾
