# Animal Assistance - Business Description
Animal Assistance is a pet care provider based in Ashton-under-Lyne serving the Tameside area and surrounding communities. The business specialises in professional dog walking, cat sitting, puppy visits, and care for small and exotic pets, offering comprehensive support for pet owners who need reliable care whilst away from home or unable to tend to their animals themselves.
The team comprises five experienced dog walkers and handlers who genuinely prioritise animal welfare. What sets Animal Assistance apart is their commitment to professional standards—all staff are DBS checked, fully insured, and trained in animal first aid through accredited courses. This level of vetting and training goes beyond typical pet sitting services, providing owners with genuine peace of mind.
Their dog walking service utilises excellent local open spaces and waterside locations around Ashton, Stalybridge, and Mossley, allowing dogs to exercise thoroughly and cool off in rivers and reservoirs. For new puppies, they offer structured visits including toilet training and early socialisation, preparing young dogs for proper etiquette before joining regular group walks.
The business extends beyond canines to cats—administering medication without additional charges—and unusual pets including ferrets, lizards, snakes and chickens. House sitting services are available for both dogs and cats. Animal Assistance actively engages clients through daily social media updates with photos of pets in their care, and maintains strong five-star reviews reflecting their genuine passion for animal care rather than viewing it as transactional work.
