About: I've taken care of dogs since I was around 12 years old and have many years experience in dog sitting for friends and family alongside my partner. Since we don't have a dog of our own but love spending time with furry friends, we thought we could offer a safe, loving and reliable service of dog walking, home visits or pet sitting on the weekends. I'm currently working full time on weekdays, however my weekends are fully available for walks and pet sitting. There may also be occasional availability for weekday nights after 6pm, just message me and I will try my best to accommodate! Safety and trust are my main priority, alongside making sure your dog is happy and comfortable whilst in my care. I am happy to work around your dogs schedule and provide regular photos and video updates of them whilst in my care.

About: Hi Pet Parents 🐾 We are a family of absolute pet lovers who believe that caring for your furry family member isn't just a job - it’s our genuine passion and joy.

Whether your pet craves structured playtime, gentle companionship or a cozy spot to nap, we provide a safe, loving environment tailored to their exact needs. I am working from home, taking care of my own cats and I will have plenty of time for your pet as well. I am flexible on weekends too. I have high fenced garden, an enclosed catio where cats can enjoy fresh air. Our house has alarm system and security cameras. With mobile app I can monitor the rooms 24/7.

Couldn’t have found a better cat sitter-I feel so blessed to have found her on here!! Trustworthy, affectionate, loving, affordable - such a wonderful woman! Sent us pictures videos and updates everyday ❤️ I even asked if she babysits too! Recommend her so much! Seffy was disappointed when I opened the door instead 😂 Can’t wait to book her again!

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: 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.

Lauren did an outstanding job taking care of my dog, Mr. Ken. She was not only reliable and punctual, but she also showed genuine affection and attention to his needs. Mr. Ken usually takes time to warm up to new people, but with Lauren, he was comfortable from the start. Her professionalism, coupled with her obvious love for animals, made me feel at ease leaving Mr. Ken in her care. I highly recommend Lauren for any pet-sitting needs—she truly went above and beyond!

About: I have hands-on experience caring for pets of different ages, temperaments, and needs. This includes feeding routines, daily walks, playtime, basic grooming, administering medication when needed, and maintaining a calm, safe environment. I pay close attention to each pet’s habits and behaviour. What sets me apart is the level of care and attention I give to each pet. I don’t treat sitting as a routine task—I treat every pet as if they were my own. I’m reliable, patient, and genuinely love animals, which helps pets feel comfortable and secure in my care. I also prioritise clear communication with owners, providing updates and photos so you always have peace of mind while you’re away. I am currently working nights but my partner is home all evening so rest assured your pet will never be left alone in the house I have a fully gated/ fenced garden at the front & back of my house and full CCTV should I have to nip inside whilst the pet is playing out.

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.

Ching was absolutely brilliant. We knew we wanted to go with a sitter this time around after our cat had a bad experience at a cattery. Ching’s visits were perfect as our cat could remain in the environment they are familiar and comfortable with. We also appreciated the check in notifications along with the message updates and photos to keep us posted on how each visit went, which gives that additional peace of mind while away. We will definitely reach out again the next time we go away. Thanks again for taking such good care of our cat!

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. 🫶🏻❤️

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 🩷

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.
