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 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 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.

“Jess is really patient, professional and reliable. It is clear from the offset that she has your dogs best interests at heart and I know that I can trust her. Jess completed a meet and greet session and really took the time to get to know my dog before we started visits. I would recommend Jess to anyone looking for a reliable dog sitter.”

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’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.

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.

“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.
