Highlights
Pet care experience
STAR SITTER - Ret. Police officer.
STAR SITTER - I’m a retired police officer with a lifelong passion for animals and a professional background managing dog trainers. From a young age, I’ve lived with and cared for dogs and cats of every size — small, medium, large, and giant breeds. I’ve successfully raised and managed households where cats and dogs live happily together, enjoying walks and play as a pack. I offer a safe, secure, and highly attentive environment for your pets. Whether you prefer me to board them at my home or house sit at yours, you can trust your animals are in calm, experienced, and capable hands. I’m a gentle giant who genuinely loves animals and treats every pet as if it were my own. My Home & Setup I live in a spacious home with a large, fully fenced and secure garden in Lytham St. Anne’s. I have one small, friendly dog who is very sociable with both dogs and cats and provides excellent company for visiting pets. My household is calm, clean, and loving — the perfect stress-free environment for your dog or cat. As I’m fully retired, I’m available 24/7 with advance notice and can offer flexible care tailored to your needs. I’m happy to board up to four animals at once. Training & Care With my background in dog training management, I can provide light, positive reinforcement training if desired (this is optional and only offered to a small number of clients). I focus on clear communication, structure, and kindness. Please tell me about your pet’s specific needs in advance so I can prepare: favourite foods, toys, treats, exercise preferences, any medications, and what motivates them best (a ball on the beach, a favourite toy, or gentle praise). I’m happy to follow your exact routine and instructions. Additional charge of £5 per day applies for dogs requiring medication administration. Your pet’s safety, happiness, and wellbeing are my top priorities. Many years of police service taught me the importance of responsibility, attention to detail, and earning trust — values I bring to every booking. I look forward to caring for your beloved pets and giving you complete peace of mind while you’re away. Woof! 🐾

Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Angus was great!! It was a late booking and he accommodated us. He is full of knowledge and I know my dog was well looked after. No issues at all. Would highly recommend and will use Angus again in future.
We have used Angus previously to look after our pets and home and we are happy to use his services again as he is very efficient and trustworthy. We can go away knowing that everything is in safe hands.
Could not ask for a better and more experienced service! Highly recommended 👍
Angus was really great with our two dogs, especially since one of them is not the easiest and anxious with other dogs. Trip was a great support either. We can absolutely recommend Angus and it was definitely not the last time we left our dogs with him.
Gus and his wife looked after our 2 pups Stormzy and Simba for a full week. They made us feel very comfortable with constant updates. Highly recommended. Thanks again
Angus obviously has heaps of experience with dogs, offered plemty of advice, and made us feel comfortable, sending pictures and updates throughout.

Schedule
I am fully retired so I am available 24/7 with advanced notice. I have a big house and a fair size secure garden in Lytham St. Anne’s. I only offer training to a select few but not part of my official duties here on Rover. PLEASE no bitches in season. It literally triples my workload keeping them safe.

A typical day
I love to make sure dogs are stimulated mentally and physically so exercise, play, good food and quality rest are treated equally. I b take them to the beach and to the local big park. I ensure if suitable they are safely socialised with other dogs.
