Home Minders Warrington is a proud, local family-run business managed by myself and my son, Aidan. We are long-term local residents who have lived and worked right here in the Warrington community for over 13 years, building a reputation based entirely on hard work, reliability, and trust.

Yes, absolutely. Trust is the absolute foundation of our business. I hold a fully Enhanced DBS Disclosure and Barring Service clearance. This is the highest level of criminal record vetting available in the UK, giving you total reassurance when handing over your house keys. We also hold pet sitting insurance and public liability cover for further peace of mind.

Our standard visits are completely flexible depending on what your home needs. We can collect your post, manage your wheelie bins on collection days, open and close blinds or curtains, water your indoor plants, check your boiler or heating system, and perform general external security property sweeps to give your home a secure, lived-in appearance while you are away.

We specialise in small household pets and smallholding animals that prefer staying in their own comfortable environments rather than stressful boarding facilities. This includes cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, reptiles, birds, indoor fish tanks, and outdoor garden ponds.

Yes. As experienced poultry keepers and tortoise owners ourselves, we are uniquely qualified to look after chickens, smallholdings, ducks, and tortoises. We understand specific husbandry requirements, including secure coop lock-ups at dusk, fresh water flushes, egg collection, predator checks, and exact dietary setups for reptiles.

Our standard drop-in visits start from just £8.50 per visit for bookings of 7 days or more. Because we operate on a transparent, flat-rate model rather than a multi-tiered package system, any additional chores or multiple pets can be added on for an affordable, flat rate of just £2 per add-on.

Our core service is built around daily drop-in visits, welfare checks, property security, and small pet or smallholding care. Because of our current daily schedules across Warrington, we do not offer overnight stays or comprehensive dog-walking packages at this time.

Your keys are stored securely, confidentially, and completely separate from any of your personal data or property addresses. We use a blind coding system so that in the highly unlikely event a key is misplaced, it can never be traced back to your home. Keys are returned to you strictly according to your pre-arranged instructions once you are safely back from your trip.

Before you drop off your keys, we ask you to complete a thorough onboarding sheet. This includes collecting your emergency contact details, preferred local tradespeople, such as your trusted plumber, and your local veterinary surgery details. If we spot an issue, such as a leaking pipe or an unwell pet, we act fast, contact you immediately, and manage the situation using your pre-authorised instructions.

We cover the entirety of Warrington and its surrounding residential villages, including Great Sankey, Stockton Heath, Lymm, Grappenhall, Culcheth, Appleton, Irlam, Cadishead, Newton-le-Willows and Birchwood.
