Pet Sitting Wigan

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. I previously ran a cattery for many years. This background taught me the high standards of specialized care, patience, handling delicate routines and attention to detail that every pet deserves. 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.

About: I absolutely adore animals, growing up surrounded by both dogs and cats. I currently own 3 cats with my partner, and had my beautiful golden retriever Talar with me for 14 years until she very sadly passed. I like to spend my spare time horse riding, and have frequently cared for pets for friends whilst away on holiday. As a genuine animal lover with over 10 years of pet care experience, I provide a calm, safe, and loving environment where your pet can feel comfortable, settled, and well cared for while you are away. I understand that every pet is different, with their own personality, routines, and individual needs. I take the time to get to know each pet and make sure their care is tailored to what helps them feel relaxed, happy, and secure. Your pet’s wellbeing and your peace of mind are very important to me. I provide regular photo and video updates throughout their stay, so you can see how they are settling in and enjoy reassurance that they are happy, safe, and receiving plenty of love and attention. I currently work full time as a customer service manager but I’m looking into transitioning my career into an animal care focused sector. I can offer full time care most weekends and evening care after 5PM. I will also have some full day weekday availability at periods. I like to offer meet and greets before committing to any care to ensure both you and your pet are as comfortable as possible with the services I offer. It’s so important to understand each pets needs as their personalities can be so individual. I’m comfortable with all size, breed and temperament of both cats and dogs, including walking, bathing, brushing, playing and feeding.

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

“Jess was excellent and the girls loved their time with her. She communicated really well and took the time to understand our needs and preferences.”

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 have looked after a wide range of animals for family and friends for most of my life. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and find it incredibly rewarding to care for them and ensure they are happy, safe, and well looked after. I have a friendly, well-socialised dog who loves to play and spend time with other dogs. He also enjoys being around cats, although they don't always share his enthusiasm! I I recently resigned from a high-pressure role to focus on improving my work-life balance and overall well-being. I believe there is no better way to do that than by spending time caring for animals, especially dogs. I genuinely enjoy being around them and find working with animals both rewarding and fulfilling. I have a secure, fenced garden where dogs can safely play and relax. I also have a friendly little dog who enjoys the company of other dogs and is well-socialised. In addition, I live close to several recreation parks and woodland areas, providing plenty of opportunities for enjoyable walks, exercise, and outdoor exploration.

About: I have had my own dogs since being 3 years old, I’m a responsible, reliable, caring dog owner. I have done pet visits for friends & family. I have walked dogs for friends and family members. I currently work part-time during term time only. I am available on all day on a Thursday, evenings and weekends during term time. During school holidays I’m available 7 days per week. I can come out to your home to visit your pet, feed and give comfort breaks whilst you’re at work or whilst you’re away.

“Suzy took absolutely wonderful care of our boy, who was absolutely smitten with her! Great communication and looked after our house too. A really lovely person who we would not hesitate to recommend to others”

About: I have had cats for 13 years and have had a dog for 4 years. I do feeding, cat litter trays, fresh waters every day and have also administered insulin for my diabetic cat (who I sadly lost last year) and have also administered thyronorm through a syringe for my 13 year old cat who has hypothyroidism. My whole routine from the minute I get up is all focused on my animals, I have 3 cats & 1 dog. One of my cats was a stray abandoned cat but after much searching for his owners know one came froward so I got him neutered & gave him a home. I am not scared of getting stuck in with changing cat litter trays, picking up dogs or cats poops. I have worked in dog groomers, dog kennels & have also done a placement at dogs trust many years ago. I have all of the relevant certificates & diplomas from doing animal care at college but am looking into doing a first aid course for animals & also maybe doing some dog training also. Until I get my confidence up in walking others dogs I will only be accepting small to medium dogs but I'm hoping one day I can move up too big dogs & offering more services surrounding looking after peoples animals as I know how thinking of them when having work commitments and holidays can be tough. My diabetic cat actually came with me to many holidays as I knew she needed her diabetic medication without fail. I am looking forward to starting this journey and meeting new owners and their pets (just don't be surprised when we do meet ill automatically be talking straight to the animals first as always haha) thank you. So I am currently off work at the moment for 6 weeks as I work in a primary school. This works around my child. However on a typical working day I would wake up in the morning, feed all of the cats, change their waters & so their cat litter trays. I would then get myself ready & take my child to school. On returning home I would take my dog for her first walk of the day for around 20 minutes. I would then come home and get ready for work at 10am. After finishing work at 2pm I'd wait for my son to finish school, collect him at 3pm and make our way home. At home I would feed the cats as soon as I get in, clear away any cat poop that's been done why I've been at work, I would then take my dog out for her second walk of the day, usually about half an hour walk. After coming in from that it would be tea time for us & settling down for the night. Around 7pm my cats would get their 3rd meal of the day & this would fit in with my cats medication times so he would have his thyroid medication around 30 minutes after his morning feed and then 30 minutes after his night time feed (12 hours apart) and depending on how my dogs energy levels are she may have a 3rd walk but this isn't a daily thing. They all have their little treats throughout the day trying not to over feed them with treats. So having only experience from my neighbours & friends who have asked me too look after their cats in the past, I would gain access too the property asking that doors where the pets are, are secure where possible so my friends house, her front door going into the house I asked could the living room door be closed just so I can gain access safely and there is no risk of her cats running out onto the road why she was on holiday, I would do as I was asked I.E feeding, waters, I would give a little fuss so having a little stroke & head bump with them and try where possible to clean up after them so not only did I do the cat litters I also brushed around the cat litter to pick up any on the ground, also for my other neighbour I washed their food bowls each day before leaving. Their safely is always my key focus so if they are allowed outside I would always pop back occasionally to ensure they was able to get back into the property especially in rain weather and if they are strictly indoor cats like mine then again I would ask where possible to keep the animals in a place where they cannot run out when I try to gain access. Also when it is hot weather I would pay close attention to the guidelines on temperatures when walking dogs and would not expose any dogs or cats too extreme heat. This would be discussed on the meet and greet and would be agreed upon each individual how that would work. If its safer for the animals to just go outside to toilet then I would make sure not to leave when my time is up I would ensure the safety first and ensure every animal was nice & cool before leaving the property.

“Very caring, attentive and responsible. CoCo was really well looked after and seemed very happy and comfortable. Communication was great throughout, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. I really appreciated the care and attention given to CoCo and would happily book again. Highly recommended!”

“Nicola was really great with our cats, and we felt reassured having her look after them whilst we were away. Great updates, and so willing to help.”

About: From a young age I have worked at an animal sanctuary which rescued and re-homed a variety of abandoned animals from rabbits, guinea pigs, cats dogs and even farm animals ☺️ I wish I could have continued to do this into my adult years. Over the years I have had pets of my own and regularly look after my daughter dog and even take her away on short breaks with us. I enjoy long walks and always find myself jealous when people walk by with their pets as I walk alone. My mum is an Area Manager for Guide Dogs, before that she started her own dog training business which she ran evening classes which I would attend with her, so I have training experience. I currently work part time at home. I like to go for at least 2 walks a day which would be much more enjoyable with a dog to accompany me. There are no children at our home through the week, my partners daughter is here at the weekends she is 8 and also adores dogs, she practically begged me to sign up to Rover ☺️ We have a large fenced back garden which overlooks a local park with plenty of land for walking pets on short walks. We are also 1 minute walk away from farmers fields which is perfect for longer walks If you prefer for me to come and sit at your property with your pet this can also be arranged. I am also available to have your pet stay over on a weekend provided they are friendly and safe to be around children, we have children here alternative weekends, so if you have booked a weekend away or last minute been asked to work away and it falls on the weekend the child is not here if your dog is a little nervous around children then we would be more that happy to accommodate your pet ☺️ I care for pets as if they are my own. Pets will always be kept on a lead whilst out on a walk with me even after the trust has been built to ensure safety at all times. Please make me aware at the time of booking if your dog is not good with other dogs, children or any other areas of concern so that I can make sure you pet always feels safe and happy in my care. I have worked as housekeeper and nanny previously, for a home with 2 dogs. I had a key to the property, looked after their 4 children and 2 dogs. I am honest and trustworthy so if you are planning for me to come to your home when you are at work to let your pet out or take them for a walk I am more than happy to do so. If you would prefer for your pet to come to my home for the day so they can be fussed and walked and have some company while your at work, we have a bungalow so they have the run of the house and our fully fenced back garden which backs onto a park and the farmers fields are 1 minute walk away, so our location and property is ideal for pets.

About: I’ve had dogs in my life for over 40 years. I’ve looked after my own dogs and my children’s dogs. I have no full time pets at home. I can provide a safe and secure home for your dog to suit your needs. I have a very large fenced and secure garden with access to the country side from my front door. I work from 5 am to 1 pm Monday to Saturday. However my work is very flexible and I can meet most needs in looking after a pet. I am able to dog walk either very early in the mornings or afternoons after 1 pm. Within the time that I am at work. Your pet will be in a very secure garden with ample shelter or shade. I am also happy to dog sit overnight at your home. I have a very secure large garden that is fenced. During the day your pet will be outside with plenty or shelter or shade. When I return home from work. ( generally after 1pm ) your pet will be exercised around the local walks in my area. Please note. Even though my garden is very secure. A determined dog could escape. Unless the dog is on a leash full time during the day. I can not g/tee that the dog would not escape. I suggest in all instances that you visit the property first before finalising your booking.

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.

“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! ”

“Jane visited us and Albert our miniature dachshund a few weeks before she took care of him, she was obviously very knowledgeable about dogs (more so than us!) and was instantly Albert’s new best friend. We hadn’t left him before for a number of hours so we wanted someone to check in on him and keep him company, and I’m glad we picked Jane. She did a great job playing with him and kept us updated with photos and videos. Can’t recommend her enough and really glad we’ve found her - we’ve already booked her again! Thanks Jane!”

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.
