“Finn had a great stay with Hannah. This was his first time and it was only overnight but he was clearly very relaxed and happy when we picked him up. Very happy for him to be going again in October for a week.”
“Jack was absolutely brilliant with our cocker spaniel. He put my mind at rest when we visited and Red settled at his house immediately. We got daily updates and photos, showing Red was having a great time with him. He clearly knows how to deal with looking after other people's pets with patience, understanding and knowledge. I highly recommend him and Red can't wait for our next trip away.”
“Laura is absolutely lovely!! Our 14 year old cockapoo is such a home bird and can get really nervous when we aren’t there but Laura made her feel really settled and by the sounds our doggy had a great time, she came home happy and content!! She updated us and sent us pictures which we really appreciated! Libby is looking forward to her next stay with Laura 🤩”
“Bonnie was very well looked after and we were more than happy with the service provided. Bonnie is diabetic and blind so this was a challenging dog sit with insulin injections required twice a day. Jonathan did a great job and Bonnie was very chilled when we collected her. Would definitely recommend.”
“Janet was fabulous. Shes so lovely and took great care of Mocha. It was fantastic having photo updates on how things were going! We couldn’t have imagined finding someone that would look after her so well!”
About: We've all loved dogs for as long as we can remember. Growing up, both my and my partner's families always had dogs, and more recently we had our own beloved dog who was a huge part of our lives. Sadly, we lost him, and while we miss him every day, we're not quite ready to welcome another dog into our family permanently. Pet sitting feels like the perfect way to share the love and care we have to give while helping other owners feel confident their dogs are in safe hands. As a reliable, caring family, we'll treat your dog with the same kindness, attention and affection that we gave our own - whether that's plenty of walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply making them feel comfortable and at home. Pet care fits naturally into our daily routine. My partner and I both work from home, so there's always someone around throughout the day to provide company, care, and regular toilet breaks. We also have three responsible teenagers who love spending time with dogs, so they'll receive plenty of attention and affection. As a family, we enjoy getting outdoors and going for walks, so your dog will have lots of opportunities for exercise, play and companionship. We'll make sure they feel safe, loved and part of the family while they're with us. Your dog's safety, comfort and happiness are our top priorities. At our home, they'll have access to a secure, fully fenced garden for supervised play and fresh air, as well as plenty of space indoors to relax with us. We'll follow your dog's usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding times, walks, play, medication (if required), and any special instructions. We know every dog is different, so we'll make sure they receive the individual care, attention, and affection they need to feel settled and at home.
About: I have grown up with working spaniels and labradors on a farm, as well as having these dogs as working they have been loved pets. They are walked 2/3 times a day which is either at the beach in Saltburn or in the woodlands. I live in Scissett at the moment and the countryside/woodland is just perfect to have a furry companion by my side to enjoy it with. I'm the kind of person who will cross the road purposely to pet a dog! I work full time, but I work from home 2/3 days a week. I'm always available to put in leave also if this makes sitting easier, or if you are happy with the dog to come into my office with me then you can sure expect them to be coming for coffee breaks and treats with me. Pets really are part of the family so they will be treated as so in my home, whether they would want to sleep on my bed, on their bed, or anywhere else that's fine with me. They would be given endless cuddles and love while being with me.
“A massive thank you to you & your family for taking Bella in and looking after her. It was lovely to have someone who sent the daily updates of what Bella got up to whilst we were away & we can tell she had a lovely stay. Thank you again”
About: I have always been around dogs from been a young child, My family have always had dogs ranging from large to small. I am currently enrolled on a dog training course which is due to begin in the next few weeks. I also dog walk with local dog walking groups every week and look after my friend and family's dog (Again, large and small). I enjoy learning about each breed and there quirks and I am able to behave consistently with a dog who may require more of this approach . I am currently a full time parent to a SEN child, so around school hours my time is spent caring for my little one. I like to be out walking during the day as this helps calm my busy mind, I enjoy caring for animals as I find this so rewarding and been outdoors. I had to give up my career and looking after animals is one thing I thoroughly enjoy and take something from, other than been a mum! I have a fully enclosed garden, and close by my home is close access to fields and TPT where I enjoy walking. I have 1 small nurtured male Lhasa apso who is friendly and well behaved. Providing the dog is house trained, they would be allowed to roam my home freely (Unless otherwise requested). They would be treated in a home from home experience.
“They looked after Buddy excellently including having to deal with his problem. Kept a close eye on him monitoring his behaviour and took him straight to the vets when he needed it. Kept me updated and gave him his medication. Thanks so much 🙏🏼”
“Carol was just the best sitter with willow. She showed patience and was so kind and gentle, my dog absolutely adored her. Thank you, can’t recommend her enough. ☺️”
About: I have owned dogs since they were born so have vast experience. I have looked after them from puppies until end of life. I much prefer animals to humans. I am DBS checked so you know your animals are in safe hands I am fully flexible with care! I’m self employed in my day job so am able to work around you! I can fit in walks or sits which work round you! I have a fenced front and back yard. I have children who know how to behave around dogs. I will treat your dog as I do my own (spoilt)
About: Our lives truly revolve around dogs, and we wouldn't have it any other way! I am the proud parent of two incredible girls who bring absolute joy to our home: Penny, who I’ve raised and loved since she was a tiny puppy (she’s now nearly 6!), and Pearl, a beautiful soul we rescued in August 2025. Caring for them has given me deep, hands-on experience with different stages of a dog's life, from navigating the energetic puppy years with Penny to providing the patient, nurturing, and gentle care needed to help a rescue like Pearl blossom. Both of our girls are incredibly playful, and our household is entirely set up for fun, safety, and endless affection. When your pup stays with us, they won't just be 'looked after', they will be welcomed as part of the family, showered with attention, and given the exact same high standard of love and care that we give our own girls every single day. Because I work full-time from home and my partner is a firefighter working shift patterns, our house is rarely empty and we are fully available for boarding and sitting all week long! Dog care isn't something we squeeze into our day, it is the foundation of our daily routine. Your dog will seamlessly step into the structured, loving schedule we maintain for our two girls. A typical day here includes: Exercise: At least two dedicated walks a day to keep everyone happy and active. We live in a rural area surrounded by fields and long walks. Routine: Set breakfast and tea times, along with constant access to fresh water. Regular Breaks: Toilet breaks are given at least every 2 hours throughout the day. Since I am home all day, your pup will have constant companionship, regular stretches, and plenty of attention right alongside Penny and Pearl. Safety, comfort, and peace of mind are our top priorities. We have a large, fully fenced, and secure garden where dogs can play safely. Our kitchen and dining area features large bi-fold doors that look out onto the garden; when the weather permits, we love to leave these wide open to give the dogs complete freedom to roam between the house and the fresh air. We understand that every dog has different needs when it comes to feeling secure. Our home is spacious enough to accommodate your dog's specific habits, and I am more than happy to crate your dog whenever necessary for their comfort, meal times, or bedtime routine. With two friendly resident dogs and a highly secure, supervised environment, your fur baby will be safe, happy, and entirely at ease.
“Ellie was absolutely amazing. From the meet and greet I knew Teddy would be in safe hands. Teddy had his first stay and he looks like he absolutely loved it, Teddy looked settled and content. He was one happy & tired boy when he came home which says it all, he had fun!!🥰 Ellie sent me regular updates of what they got up to along with photos too which was amazing, with it being Teddy’s first stay it gave us that extra peace of mind. Thank you so much once again and Teddy will be looking forward to his next stay with you xx”
“Marta and her family took great care of Lizzie. They sent regular updates and photos and were very accommodating with drop off and pick up times. I can definitely recommend them. 😊”

“Torrie was the perfect person to look after our cats. She formed a bond with them so quickly and the videos she sent of them while we were away clearly showed that they adored her and were very happy. Communication was excellent throughout. We will definitely be calling on Torrie next time we go away!”

“Brontë was brilliant. Really quick at replying & kept me in the loop with lots of photos whilst my 2 cats were with her. She cared for them like they were her own and always made sure they had lots of attention and were comfortable. Can’t have been any better and I’m so grateful to her. Thank you so much!”
“SO thankful for Ben’s loving care of our cat Montana in his home so that she could be comfortable in one safe and secure place having all her needs met while we took a roadtrip. Ben sent us so many updates with photos & videos (despite our old cat being quite boring)! Ben is a fantastic sitter - rest assured your beloved fur babies will be in the best care :)”
“First time me booking with them, they showed up 2 minutes early ! Shocking I know , actually got Luna to show her face what was a surprise and sent me some photos what was nice and did everything on the list I asked them to do . They took their shoes off as they came in the house what a crazy amount of people don’t do these days ! 10/10 would book again”
About: I’ve been pet sitting for friends for a few years now and even helped my roommate raise her kitten including flee treatment and litter training. I’ve had experience pet sitting for multiple pets at once both cats and dogs and overall love spending time with and taking care of cats and dogs alike.
About: I have experience caring for a wide variety of animals, with most of my hands-on work involving dogs, cats, guinea pigs, rats, hamsters, and fish. I’ve also spent time caring for or working around animals like horses, pigs, sheep, birds (including chickens, quail, ducks, geese, budgies, parrots, owls, and pigeons), reptiles (corn snakes and geckos), and even tarantulas. I’m comfortable caring for pets of all ages and needs, including those with medical or behavioural challenges, as long as I have clear guidance on their routines. My experience includes: • Administering medication to both cats and dogs, including insulin injections for diabetic dogs • Following any strict dietary and exercise routines prescribed. • Caring for a large rescue Alaskan Malamute with behavioural issues. • Bathing and grooming various dogs and cats when needed. • Knowledge and experience using positive reinforcement training principles (so can support your pet’s routine and any training goals with consistency and understanding) What sets me apart is my MSc in Animal Behaviour, which gives me a solid foundation in animal psychology, body language, and wellbeing. I’m calm, observant, and always attuned to each animal’s unique personality and comfort. I’m open to working with any species and will always be upfront about my experience. I’ll only take on a job if I’m confident I can give your pet the highest standard of care. I also have some photography and videography experience through working as a content creator, so if you would like regular updates sent i can also include clear, cute photos and videos of your pets too if you are happy with that! I currently work part-time and mostly from home, so my schedule is very flexible. I’m happy to help with early mornings, late evenings, or anything in between. Just let me know your pet’s routine and specific needs and I’ll always do my best to accommodate. I prioritise each pet’s comfort and care over taking on too many jobs. If I’ve committed to being available at a certain time for your pet, you can trust that I’ll remain available and focused during that time. I’m happy to care for pets either in your home or mine, depending on what works best for your pet’s comfort and routine. I live with two other adults in a two-bedroom house with a private, fenced garden. The fencing is currently 4ft high, so garden access will be carefully managed based on your pet’s size, behaviour, and needs. Pets in my care will always be supervised when in the garden, and I’m happy to follow your preferences for on or off lead time. Indoors, pets can enjoy a calm, cosy environment with access to the house depending on their needs and personality. I also live near lovely walking routes for regular outdoor enrichment. Your pet’s safety and wellbeing are my top priority, and I’ll always do my best to match their usual routines and provide a safe, nurturing environment.
“I’d highly recommend Jodie. She is super friendly, asks all the right questions and made us feel so at ease when she was looking after our cat. Jodie sent us plenty of updates and photos which gave us peace of mind whilst we were away which meant we could fully enjoy our trip. Our cat can be wary of new people but she loved Jodie straight away!”
“Leia was brilliant . I was very anxious about leaving my cat for first time since the death of his best feline friend, they were a bonded pair. Leia was so supportive and very kind and friendly. I relaxed as soon as I met her and new she'd take good care of him, which she did. She kept in touch , sent regular messages so I knew all was ok, so was able to enjoy my holiday. Leia is very consensus and did a brilliant job, always on time and took great care of my cat. Thank you so much Leia.”
“Antonia is wonderful. We had daily pictures and reports of our Milly and everyone shoes a very happy cat. We came home to her feeding area cleaned and organised and more importantly a cat who looked disappointed to see us and not Antonia! Highly recommend Antonia to anyone wanting their fur baby cared for.”
“Anna is an amazing cat sitter - she kept my two crazy girls fed, watered and entertained. They didn’t miss me at all! Would defo recommend and re-book. Thank you again Anna, you made my trip away stress free xxx”

About: I have been lucky enough to grow up with a number of different pets including gerbils, budgies, dogs and cats. In the past few years I have got my own pets. We have a cat called Tim and a dog called Lockie. Apart from puppy classes I did alot of Lockie's training myself. I currently work shifts twice a week. The shift days vary each week so I'm at home most of the time. My husband also works from home 3 days a week and works around my shifts so there is always someone home. I live in a house but pets are not allowed upstairs. I do have a baby gate and door which can separate the kitchen from the living room. I also have a fenced garden to play lots of games and to toilet. I can leave the kitchen door open and they can roam freely inside and out. I would like a meet and greet before your dog comes to stay to make sure they get along with Lockie
“Rebecca is fantastic - keeps our dog entertained even when he is upset about my husband not being about. Rebecca has taken him on walks long enough to tire him, and sends pictures etc. - her communication throughout has been great. I would definitely recommend Rebecca.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and animals ever since I was 10 and have extensive experience with dogs, guinea pigs and cats! I’m student vet nurse aiming to be a vet in the future. I have extensive knowledge on small animal behaviour and have loved animals ever since I was a kid; I’ve even worked with exotic animals <3 I study online during periods of time and go to the vets around 6 weeks at a time so I can be quite busy, My availability for this year is on the calendar and I am also getting booked quickly for summer so please don’t hesitate to message me! I am also available during bank holidays and other holidays (e.g Christmas, Easter, New years) and I’m always available on weekends :) I like getting to know your pet beforehand as well as knowing their day routine so I can follow it as close to you as possible! Having a routine is essential to make your pets comfortable and happy. I’d also like to mention that I have a reactive dog who is around 25 kgs so I know what it’s like to go on hard walks and I’m comfortable with this.

“Rollo loved his stay with Janet, I couldn't recommend her highly enough. She was quick to respond, really welcoming and friendly. Rollo loved playing in her garden with Luna and he had two good walks too. We had one sleepy content doggy when we picked him up after his stay.”

It has been a great experience, and we get to meet all kinds of dogs, learn about their different personalities, and get to care for breeds we wouldn't have come across otherwise! Pet care fits naturally into our routine since one of us is always home. I work a hybrid schedule, while my girlfriend works from home, so we share the responsibilities. It’s a team effort that keeps your pet happy and cared for. We have a fully fenced back garden with lots of space for your dog to enjoy safely. We don’t have any pets of our own, and we only take pets from one household at a time, so they will get our full care and attention, as well as there being no risk or concern of them having to get along with another dog.

About: I am a fully licensed boarder and daycare provider. 1. **Personalised Care**: Dogs receive individual attention in a home environment, which can be more comforting than a kennel setting. 2. **Comfort of Home**: Staying in a familiar environment can reduce stress for your dog, leading to a happier and more relaxed experience. 3. **Socialisation**: As home boarders, we accommodate a maximum of two dogs at a time. We can also accept a single dog upon request, depending on availability. This limited capacity, compared to conventional kennels, offers enhanced social interaction and playtime for the dogs. 4. **Flexible Routine**: Home boarding can accommodate your dog's routine, including feeding, walks, and playtimes, which can help maintain their normal lifestyle. 5. **Less Exposure to Illness**: Home boarding with us involves fewer dogs, reducing the risk of exposure to kennel cough and other illnesses. 6. **Peace of Mind for Owners**: Knowing your dog is in a loving home environment can alleviate anxiety for your pet while you are away. 7. **24/7 Supervision**: We as home boarders provide round-the-clock care, ensuring your dog is never left alone for long periods. 8. **Customised Environment**: Here at FlocktonPawpals we align with your dog's specific needs, such as dietary restrictions or exercise requirements. 9. **Bonding Experience**: Home boarding can help your dog build a bond with us, which can benefit future stays. 10. **Cost-Effective**: Our prices reflect that we only board 2 dogs at any given time. We do not have pets or children ourselves, so we offer solo boarding for reactive dogs or doggies. Using a GPS tracker on your dog can provide several advantages: 11. **Location Tracking**: GPS trackers allow us to monitor your dog's location in real time, ensuring we can quickly find them if they wander off or get lost. 12. **Safety and Security**: Knowing your dog's whereabouts can provide your peace of mind, especially in unfamiliar environments or during outdoor activities. I am free most days to take care and exercise your dogs. Be it walking in a pack or solo walks. Im sure they will enjoy their time with me. I have a walled and fenced in garden which will keep your furry friends safe. I have a large living area with double patio doors that open out on to our rear lawned garden. So your dogs can play freely under my watchful eye.

“Tasha was lovely, very welcoming and made the whole experience easy and straight forward for me and my puppy. Kept me updated throughout the day with messages and pictures. I’m so pleased he had a great day and enjoyed himself while being safe and looked after 🐾”
“brilliant personalised care for my beautiful boy. 100% understanding of him and his needs. Lots of lovely pics of him having the time of his life. Very compassionate and caring people who clearly love their charges as much as we owners do. He can't wait to go back!”
“Marta and her family are absolutely wonderful! Willow is spoilt rotten and can’t wait to see her best friend every week - I would recommend Marta to anyone who wants their pup to have a home away from home ♥️🐾”
“Sharon took fantastic care of our spotty friend when our regular dog sitter was away. She made sure we felt really comfortable with leaving Bailey, and was so attentive listening and honouring his usual routine. Bailey got on really well with her two friendly dogs and we couldn't have asked for more from her! If you want a lovely, caring person to look after your dog properly, then look no further than Sharon, she's the best!”
About: We have had dogs in our childhood and had our own dogs for the past 15 years. We want your dog to be made welcome in our house as if they were visiting their second home. My husband works from home full time and I work mostly in the home but spend about two days a week out of the house. When we had dogs we always made sure one of us is home or our dogs were able to come with us. We would make sure the dogs we care for were treated as part of the family in the same way. Our dogs have sadly passed away, aged 10 and 15 years. We have a four bedroomed detached house with a secure garden and a high gated side entrance. We live in a quiet area which is surrounded by fields and woods, ideal for long or shorter walks.

Prices are estimates per walk for 1 dog. Pricing may vary based on your search and includes a booking fee of 11%.
About: I have grown up with working spaniels and labradors on a farm, as well as having these dogs as working they have been loved pets. They are walked 2/3 times a day which is either at the beach in Saltburn or in the woodlands. I live in Scissett at the moment and the countryside/woodland is just perfect to have a furry companion by my side to enjoy it with. I'm the kind of person who will cross the road purposely to pet a dog! I work full time, but I work from home 2/3 days a week. I'm always available to put in leave also if this makes sitting easier, or if you are happy with the dog to come into my office with me then you can sure expect them to be coming for coffee breaks and treats with me. Pets really are part of the family so they will be treated as so in my home, whether they would want to sleep on my bed, on their bed, or anywhere else that's fine with me. They would be given endless cuddles and love while being with me.
About: I've spent over a decade caring for dogs of all breeds, ages, and temperaments — not just as a sitter, but as a true companion. From high-energy puppies to senior dogs with special needs, I understand their unique care requirements. You'll never wonder how your dog is doing. I provide regular photo updates, check-ins, and stay in close touch so you're always in the loop. Pet care is a meaningful and regular part of my weekly routine. I dedicate time each day for walks, feedings, litter box cleaning, and quality time with the animals I care for. I carefully plan my schedule to ensure I’m fully available for each pet — whether for daily check-ins, overnight stays, or weekend visits. Even with other responsibilities, pet care remains a top priority. When caring for pets in their own home, I focus on maintaining their routine as closely as possible to minimize stress. I follow detailed instructions regarding feeding, medications, walk schedules, and any special quirks or preferences. I respect the pet owner’s home, clean up after the pet (litter box, food area, accidents if any), and provide updates with photos or videos. My goal is for the pet to feel safe and relaxed in their own familiar space — and for you to feel confident while you're away.
About: I have owned dogs since they were born so have vast experience. I have looked after them from puppies until end of life. I much prefer animals to humans. I am DBS checked so you know your animals are in safe hands I am fully flexible with care! I’m self employed in my day job so am able to work around you! I can fit in walks or sits which work round you! I have a fenced front and back yard. I have children who know how to behave around dogs. I will treat your dog as I do my own (spoilt)
About: We have both grown up having our own pets, having a variety of different animals, including multiple dogs and cats that we have fed, walked, bathed etc. We have looked after other peoples dogs, cats and other animals previously as well. This has given us lots of experience: we have looked after puppies, seniors, animals that have needed medication or other special treatments. We both have part-time work however with enough notice we can choose our hours to schedule around yours. We have different schedules so one of us is usually free if not both of us. If you do have a preference of which one of us visits your pet that’s fine as well just let us know, as we understand some animals have a preferred gender. We live in an apartment building but it there still has enough room for a small-medium sized dog if they can be quiet or any sized cat. The apartments are gated off with a little garden area on the property. And they is a big park next to my building for walks as well. We don’t mind looking after your pet at your own home to allow them to feel more comfortable in their environment as well. We will try cater to your dogs or cats needs as much as possible if you have any specific requests.
About: I have experience caring for a wide variety of animals, with most of my hands-on work involving dogs, cats, guinea pigs, rats, hamsters, and fish. I’ve also spent time caring for or working around animals like horses, pigs, sheep, birds (including chickens, quail, ducks, geese, budgies, parrots, owls, and pigeons), reptiles (corn snakes and geckos), and even tarantulas. I’m comfortable caring for pets of all ages and needs, including those with medical or behavioural challenges, as long as I have clear guidance on their routines. My experience includes: • Administering medication to both cats and dogs, including insulin injections for diabetic dogs • Following any strict dietary and exercise routines prescribed. • Caring for a large rescue Alaskan Malamute with behavioural issues. • Bathing and grooming various dogs and cats when needed. • Knowledge and experience using positive reinforcement training principles (so can support your pet’s routine and any training goals with consistency and understanding) What sets me apart is my MSc in Animal Behaviour, which gives me a solid foundation in animal psychology, body language, and wellbeing. I’m calm, observant, and always attuned to each animal’s unique personality and comfort. I’m open to working with any species and will always be upfront about my experience. I’ll only take on a job if I’m confident I can give your pet the highest standard of care. I also have some photography and videography experience through working as a content creator, so if you would like regular updates sent i can also include clear, cute photos and videos of your pets too if you are happy with that! I currently work part-time and mostly from home, so my schedule is very flexible. I’m happy to help with early mornings, late evenings, or anything in between. Just let me know your pet’s routine and specific needs and I’ll always do my best to accommodate. I prioritise each pet’s comfort and care over taking on too many jobs. If I’ve committed to being available at a certain time for your pet, you can trust that I’ll remain available and focused during that time. I’m happy to care for pets either in your home or mine, depending on what works best for your pet’s comfort and routine. I live with two other adults in a two-bedroom house with a private, fenced garden. The fencing is currently 4ft high, so garden access will be carefully managed based on your pet’s size, behaviour, and needs. Pets in my care will always be supervised when in the garden, and I’m happy to follow your preferences for on or off lead time. Indoors, pets can enjoy a calm, cosy environment with access to the house depending on their needs and personality. I also live near lovely walking routes for regular outdoor enrichment. Your pet’s safety and wellbeing are my top priority, and I’ll always do my best to match their usual routines and provide a safe, nurturing environment.
About: I have shared my life with dogs for over 30 years, and there is rarely a time when I haven't had a furry companion by my side. Because I am at home full-time, your dog will never be left alone. My days revolve around companionship and care, ensuring your pet remains on their preferred schedule for feeding, potty breaks, and playtime. We are lucky enough to live in the countryside, offering a peaceful environment. Whether your dog prefers long walks through the fields or snoozing on a rug by my side, they will find a safe, happy home here. As I am at home full-time, your dog becomes a true member of our family. They will enjoy unlimited playtime, constant snuggles, and the dedicated attention of myself and my two dog-loving children (ages 5 and 8). We are available for boarding 7 days a week, offering a lively, affectionate environment where your pet is never alone. I have a fenced garden so your dog can go in and out as they please. I don't use crates unless specifically requested. Your dog has the freedom of our home and the comfort of our sofa. We take full advantage of our rural location with multiple walks a day through quiet fields and lanes. My children are very respectful of dogs and have been raised to handle them gently.
About: I have volunteered as a dog walker for dog rescues before starting to provide pet services and volunteered with the RSPCA for over 2 years. I am compassionate, patient and willing to go the extra mile (or several if we’re walking). I have my own lovely little rescue dog called Majky who has special care needs and just turned 11. I have experience with senior dogs and am happy to provide medication or special care during drop in visits. I am also fully insured for pet care and DBS checked. I offer drop-ins or dog walking 9am to 6pm Monday to Friday. 10am to 7pm Saturday and 10am to 6pm Sunday. Drop-ins are 30 mins by default but 1 hour is available on request for an additional fee. If you want drop in care I am able to do up to 3 drop ins per day - this is for both dogs and cats, pricing is per drop-in. I prefer to walk your dog or dogs alone so i can give them my undivided attention, i do not offer group walks (more than 2 dogs at once). Although I have my own much loved fluffball he will not be joining me for walks with your dog. I am happy to accommodate any special requests and recommendations for places to walk nearby your home. Or if your dog likes to play fetch instead I’m happy to do that too. I want to get to know your pup so i can do my best to make their day a little brighter.
About: Always been around pets, especially dogs, since childhood. Absolutely love animals, and so does the wife. Both now semi-retired so we are looking to fill our time by doing something we love. Looked after friends and family pets previously… the longest stint being a Victorian Bulldog that we looked after for 7 months! The wife and I are semi-retired. I’m 46 years old and she’s slightly older. Both fit and healthy and love animals and being outdoor and active. Fenced off back garden. Live in a fantastic rural area with plenty of countryside to explore. I’ve been walking 10 miles a day for 27 years as a postman, all weather, so your dog will be in for a treat.
About: I have experience in caring for dogs and cats through my family & friends. I haven’t had my own pet due to previous work commitments. I currently work part time and my son is home during the hours I work so your pet would always have someone responsible with them. I have a secure garden space and access to lots of lovely walks in my area. Your pet will have access to the downstairs areas of my home and both myself and my son to play and care for them.
About: The best thing about this job second to seeing your pets happy and in their natural behaviours, is receiving the amazing feedback from all the parents & carers of the pets I have the opportunity to meet and care for - it’s truly rewarding! The older cats & dogs which have an extra spring in their step, the dogs who eat when you find a way which works for them because you’ve realised their needs and made them comfortable, the pets who play & express themselves because they know you’re there for them 1 to 1. Cats, dogs, birds - and all animals to be honest - make me genuinely happy and present in the moment. I’ve loved animals and wildlife since forever. Volunteering in a pet shop at 10 years old, I cleaned the rabbit and hamster enclosures and fed the small animals. Since 17 I have taken care of my own 11 cats of all ages in several homes in the UK and China (including a 1-week old kitten who I had to bottle feed blind) and have completed multiple dog sits and walks. I now currently reside with my two boys, Tyson & Rossi, and since Halloween a lady cat who was hanging around the garden now named Lucky. Lucky was wandering for 12 weeks after her owner passed on and now she is part of our family. We have also been fostering a British long haired cat named Professor Pawsley for a month since a friend and previous client in New Mill passed away. Sadly three of the kitties from over the years have passed on; the others are with family and friends and I receive regular updates). The 1-week old when living in China for 3 years was just days old, his name is Ginge and he now lives happily with his three sibling kitties taken care of in Shenzhen by a good friend. I took care of him as a kitten, feeding him bottled formula, keeping him warm and training him to use a litter tray. I took in two 6 month old cats just before that and worked two jobs while looking after the three of them, with the help of my good friend Echo. Rossi who is now 1 year old, came to us last year in our Stockport home as an 8-week old kitten from a rescue centre and we already had Tyson at the time who was 2, we took him in from a friend’s friend who decided to go traveling. Introducing the boys I used scenting and separation to allow for less anxiety, before they finally met and now they love each other despite sometimes boisterously play fighting! Some of my experiences with pet sitting: I took care of two Jack Russell’s in 2015 for two weeks, walking them, feeding them and playing with them. The pups made house sitting much more fun and walking them at the reservoir daily was good exercise. About 8 months later I looked after my friends two cats for a week and a half while they were away. The year after I was baby sitting and dog sitting two dogs for a friends’ parent, just for one night but that was also a very smooth experience. Looking after my friends British Shorthair for a week in south of China (2018) was enjoyable, as I was living in a studio at the time on my own so I truly enjoyed the company. In 2020 post-pandemic I took care of my brother and his partners’ Yorkshire Terrier for three months while they were working long hours, walking him twice a day, playing with him and spending time bonding. It was in 2023 when I took care of my partners’ boss’ family German Shepherd and two domestic short-haired cats. Administering daily medication as the German shepherd was older, feeding, walking with careful consideration and playing were the tasks involved and they even slept with us while we stayed there for 10 days. I even spent some time with the sheep at the back of the garden! What was truly special was how Marcus explained his German shepherd was in such a good way when he got home he was so pleased to see him with good energy and ready for his morning walks. Every single morning, my first move is to feed the boys and girls and provide fresh drinking water at their four stations. This is always after greeting them of course! Sometimes I wake up to Rossi on my chest or next to my legs as he sleeps on the bed to my happiness. Tyson has softened as he never used to, but now also sometimes sleeps on the bed with us. After greeting, stroking and kisses, food and water is given. My partner and I then clean out the litter trays - five litter trays at the moment! Luckily we have three floors over a town-house so there’s enough space between. Almost daily I check the rechargeable batteries for the bunch of toys they have - we rotate to try and keep them engaged. I also play with teasers and bits of string and of course they love boxes. I talk to the babies as I feel this is important and comforting for our animals, we all need communication. Every few days or so I groom them with a brush and they enjoy treats such as Dreamies scattered on a play board and tuna in spring water every Friday and Saturday. For cats staying in our home, the house is already extremely safe & secure as we check this meticulously already for our own kitties. Everything is maintained to make sure the cats are safe inside the house, the catio is optional as it just fits right outside the front door without any gaps to get outside - but to a new cat we would probably leave the catio and keep them inside the house as there are plenty of rooms. If there were any issues we have a town-house style so three levels and rooms with secure doors so for example my partner could be with our boys in our bedroom and I could be with your kitty/kitties in the living room. We are very conscientious of food and cleaning up after cooking (onions, chocolate etc), cleaning products are in cupboards and we don’t buy flowers which are toxic we are very aware of these potential hazards. As for puppies in our home, the same as above. Preferably, for puppies and dogs, I would like to board/dog or dog (and cats if both) sit at your home - this would also allow your pets to be in their familiar environment.
About: I have been lucky enough to grow up with a number of different pets including gerbils, budgies, dogs and cats. In the past few years I have got my own pets. We have a cat called Tim and a dog called Lockie. Apart from puppy classes I did alot of Lockie's training myself. I currently work shifts twice a week. The shift days vary each week so I'm at home most of the time. My husband also works from home 3 days a week and works around my shifts so there is always someone home. I live in a house but pets are not allowed upstairs. I do have a baby gate and door which can separate the kitchen from the living room. I also have a fenced garden to play lots of games and to toilet. I can leave the kitchen door open and they can roam freely inside and out. I would like a meet and greet before your dog comes to stay to make sure they get along with Lockie

Having a routine is essential to make your pets comfortable and happy. I’d also like to mention that I have a reactive dog who is around 25 kgs so I know what it’s like to go on hard walks and I’m comfortable with this.

“Finn had a great stay with Hannah. This was his first time and it was only overnight but he was clearly very relaxed and happy when we picked him up. Very happy for him to be going again in October for a week.”
“Jack was absolutely brilliant with our cocker spaniel. He put my mind at rest when we visited and Red settled at his house immediately. We got daily updates and photos, showing Red was having a great time with him. He clearly knows how to deal with looking after other people's pets with patience, understanding and knowledge. I highly recommend him and Red can't wait for our next trip away.”
About: We've all loved dogs for as long as we can remember. Growing up, both my and my partner's families always had dogs, and more recently we had our own beloved dog who was a huge part of our lives. Sadly, we lost him, and while we miss him every day, we're not quite ready to welcome another dog into our family permanently. Pet sitting feels like the perfect way to share the love and care we have to give while helping other owners feel confident their dogs are in safe hands. As a reliable, caring family, we'll treat your dog with the same kindness, attention and affection that we gave our own - whether that's plenty of walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply making them feel comfortable and at home. Pet care fits naturally into our daily routine. My partner and I both work from home, so there's always someone around throughout the day to provide company, care, and regular toilet breaks. We also have three responsible teenagers who love spending time with dogs, so they'll receive plenty of attention and affection. As a family, we enjoy getting outdoors and going for walks, so your dog will have lots of opportunities for exercise, play and companionship. We'll make sure they feel safe, loved and part of the family while they're with us. Your dog's safety, comfort and happiness are our top priorities. At our home, they'll have access to a secure, fully fenced garden for supervised play and fresh air, as well as plenty of space indoors to relax with us. We'll follow your dog's usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding times, walks, play, medication (if required), and any special instructions. We know every dog is different, so we'll make sure they receive the individual care, attention, and affection they need to feel settled and at home.
About: I have always been around dogs from been a young child, My family have always had dogs ranging from large to small. I am currently enrolled on a dog training course which is due to begin in the next few weeks. I also dog walk with local dog walking groups every week and look after my friend and family's dog (Again, large and small). I enjoy learning about each breed and there quirks and I am able to behave consistently with a dog who may require more of this approach . I am currently a full time parent to a SEN child, so around school hours my time is spent caring for my little one. I like to be out walking during the day as this helps calm my busy mind, I enjoy caring for animals as I find this so rewarding and been outdoors. I had to give up my career and looking after animals is one thing I thoroughly enjoy and take something from, other than been a mum! I have a fully enclosed garden, and close by my home is close access to fields and TPT where I enjoy walking. I have 1 small nurtured male Lhasa apso who is friendly and well behaved. Providing the dog is house trained, they would be allowed to roam my home freely (Unless otherwise requested). They would be treated in a home from home experience.

About: Our lives truly revolve around dogs, and we wouldn't have it any other way! I am the proud parent of two incredible girls who bring absolute joy to our home: Penny, who I’ve raised and loved since she was a tiny puppy (she’s now nearly 6!), and Pearl, a beautiful soul we rescued in August 2025. Caring for them has given me deep, hands-on experience with different stages of a dog's life, from navigating the energetic puppy years with Penny to providing the patient, nurturing, and gentle care needed to help a rescue like Pearl blossom. Both of our girls are incredibly playful, and our household is entirely set up for fun, safety, and endless affection. When your pup stays with us, they won't just be 'looked after', they will be welcomed as part of the family, showered with attention, and given the exact same high standard of love and care that we give our own girls every single day. Because I work full-time from home and my partner is a firefighter working shift patterns, our house is rarely empty and we are fully available for boarding and sitting all week long! Dog care isn't something we squeeze into our day, it is the foundation of our daily routine. Your dog will seamlessly step into the structured, loving schedule we maintain for our two girls. A typical day here includes: Exercise: At least two dedicated walks a day to keep everyone happy and active. We live in a rural area surrounded by fields and long walks. Routine: Set breakfast and tea times, along with constant access to fresh water. Regular Breaks: Toilet breaks are given at least every 2 hours throughout the day. Since I am home all day, your pup will have constant companionship, regular stretches, and plenty of attention right alongside Penny and Pearl. Safety, comfort, and peace of mind are our top priorities. We have a large, fully fenced, and secure garden where dogs can play safely. Our kitchen and dining area features large bi-fold doors that look out onto the garden; when the weather permits, we love to leave these wide open to give the dogs complete freedom to roam between the house and the fresh air. We understand that every dog has different needs when it comes to feeling secure. Our home is spacious enough to accommodate your dog's specific habits, and I am more than happy to crate your dog whenever necessary for their comfort, meal times, or bedtime routine. With two friendly resident dogs and a highly secure, supervised environment, your fur baby will be safe, happy, and entirely at ease.

Many many thanks to Amy!!”
“Tasha looked after our dog Rollo while we were away for a weekend. Rollo had a great time and was really well looked after. Will definitely use her service again, would highly recommend”
“Leia was friendly and welcoming when Milo and I arrived for his first stay; Milo took no time at all to go off investigating his new surroundings. Leia kept in touch with me over the couple of days Milo was with her, letting me know what he was doing - she was honest too, not only telling me the happy bits, but also when he seemed a little withdrawn. I appreciated that openness. Leia was accommodating too, offering to take Milo to the park in her car, because he is nervy of traffic. Thank you Leia - you're a star!”
