About Us

We pride ourselves on providing five-star dog walking, cat sitting, and pet sitting services in Manchester and Salford. From dog walkers to cat sitters to pet sitters, we’ve got you covered. We’ve been in business for over five wonderful years, so we have a wealth of experience in caring for animals. We are the experts.​

When it comes to dog walking, a dog is just like you and us, so the safety and wellbeing of every dog in our care are always our top priorities. We complete a DBS (Disclosure and Barring Service) check on our dog walkers before they start working with us. As part of our initial training process, we ensure that every dog walker completes a canine first aid course. Our dog walkers also complete various optional canine-related CPD qualifications, and they receive on-the-job training throughout their careers. We believe that every dog walker, cat sitter, and pet sitter in the pet services industry should receive adequate training and actively complete additional qualifications to support their role as a standard. It’s also good to know that our business insurance provides cover for accidents and injuries to animals, as well as public liability. We always reward good behaviour using positive reinforcement and treats. We only use treats that are natural and grain-free because we recognise that many dogs have allergies or sensitive stomachs. The maximum number of dogs we take is six dogs per dog walker in a large park. We carry first aid kits, fresh drinking water, and plenty of clean towels. We also use our own leads, treats, balls, and waste bags.

When it comes to cat and pet sitting, our sitters will feed your pet as instructed, put down fresh drinking water, check and empty litter if necessary, and give them some much-needed attention

We just absolutely love all animals. It’s as simple as that.

We also love posting on our social media pages throughout the day. From funny videos to cute pictures, we upload them all!

Dog Walking Service

£14 per dog per walk, including collection and drop-off.

There is no better place than the great outdoors! Our group dog walks are brilliant for socialisation, confidence, mental stimulation, and exercise. We take up to six dogs per dog walker to a large park. We play fetch and walk around so that each dog can exercise their senses, stimulate their minds, and socialise with their friends. Every walk lasts an hour, and we walk regardless of the weather. The time your dog will be with us, including their walk, collection, and drop off, will be approximately 90 minutes to two hours each time. We always make sure that any muddy paws are thoroughly cleaned before returning them. Our price includes collection from home or work, the one-hour group dog walk, and then drop-off at home or work.

In Manchester, we cover Manchester city centre, Ancoats, Beswick, Clayton, Castlefield, Northern Quarter, Deansgate, Hulme, Spinningfields, Green Quarter, New Islington, Miles Platting, Bradford, and Ardwick.

Cat Sitting Service

£10 for 15 minutes

We absolutely love cats, and we know they would prefer to stay in their own home instead of a cattery or someone else’s. Are you going on holiday? Are you going to be home late? Do you need the cat fed? Our cat sitters can pop round to feed them, give them fresh water, clean out their bowls, check their litter, and give them some much-needed attention. You will also get the added bonus of having your home checked to make sure it stays safe and secure while you are away. We can close the curtains and turn on the lights if you would like us to do so. It doesn’t matter if you have more than one cat, as long as we can complete what you need us to do in 15 minutes. If you think our visits will take longer, we can provide you with a quote.

Pet Sitting Service

£10 for 15 minutes

Our pet sitting visits are ideal for guinea pigs and rabbits. If you’re going away or going to be home late, there’s no need to worry. Our pet sitters can pop in to feed them, give them fresh water, and clean up any mess they may have made. You will also get the added bonus of having your home checked to make sure it stays safe and secure while you are away. We can close the curtains and turn on the lights if you would like us to do so. It doesn’t matter if you have more than one small animal, as long as we can complete what you need us to do in 15 minutes. If you think our visits will take longer, we can provide a quote.

Puppy Home Visit Service

£10 for 15 minutes

Our puppy visits are ideal for puppies that can’t go outside just yet or on full walks. We can pop around to feed them, change their puppy pads, take them to the toilet, and give them some much-needed attention while you’re busy working.

Dog Home Visit Service

£10 for 15 minutes

Has your dog just had an operation? Are they feeling under the weather? Maybe they’re a bit older and can’t do the long walks they used to? Are you going to be home late from work? Whatever the reason, our home visits will be a great help. We can pop round to check on them, feed them, let them go to the bathroom, and give them some much-needed attention if you can’t be there when they need you.

Pet Taxi

From £10

Our pet taxi is perfect if you don’t have time or if you just need transport to get your pet to the vet, doggy day care, pet sitters, cat sitters, dog groomers, or even the grandparents’ house. Individual circumstances can also be discussed. All journeys are subject to additional charges depending on the areas travelled to and if there are waiting times. One booking at £10 equals a single one-way journey travelling up to a maximum of 2 miles from the pickup point. Additional miles are charged at £1.50 per mile. Waiting time is charged at 30 pence per minute and applies if we have to wait longer than 5 minutes at either the pickup point or the destination.

We are only insured to transport pets. As we do not hold a private hire operator licence, by law we are not permitted to transport people. Therefore, you would need to make your own way to the desired destination.
