Highlights
Pet care experience
Active couple seeks pets to board, walk and love.
Hello, my name is Lisa and my husband is Stuart. We live in Thornton in Lancashire. We have two grown up children, neither of which live at home and two school age grandchildren who visit who have been brought up with dogs so know how to be respectful of them. We have a lovely quiet household on a very quiet street with a safe fully enclosed garden. We have been married for over 30 years and have had dogs for most of this time. We do not have a dog currently as we lost our beloved Chihuahua in April 22 and our much loved Yorkshire Terrier in January 23. We consider ourselves to be experienced dog owners in both behavioural and health issues. I am animal first aid and animal CPR trained. During our Chihuahuas lifetime we dealt with luxating patella for which she had surgery, epilepsy and heart failure for which we had to administer and monitor medication, we also studied home dog behavioural courses to manage her extreme nervousness. This experience enabled us to become very dog knowledgeable and we educated ourselves to help us to understand all of their quirks and the reasons for certain behaviour. I have recently retired as a Nurse from the nhs which is great news for any pet staying with us as I am now around most of the time each day to give them my full attention. My husband is self employed so therefore extremely flexible and is able to go home several times a day to see and walk a dog if for any reason I was out. Any dog in our care would never be left alone for any longer than 2-3 hours. We are an active couple in our spare time and we have a touring caravan which we originally bought to allow us to take our pets everywhere with us. We spend a lot of weekends in the Lake District and other lovely places and would be happy to take your dog with us for a little holiday. Your dog will be kept safe and taken to the Vet immediately should it be required. We are happy to administer medication. They will be groomed if required and I am happy to attend to their dental care.

Ratings and reviews
Lisa is always amazing with Sadie. Sadie is an older dog, so always worry about leaving her but Lisa is great and reassuring. She really gives you peace of mind. She even takes numerous photos during her stay, showing me how much little Sadie is enjoying herself, out and about. Can’t recommend her enough.
Our cockapoo is quite an anxious little character so we’re always slightly concerned about placing him in the care of someone else. Any such worries were immediately dispelled by Lisa’s calm and reassuring approach. Ossie warmed to Lisa immediately and we left him with her knowing he’d be loved and looked after. Very happy to recommend her unreservedly.
Absolutely fantastic. Our miniature pinscher Nellie had a trial day with Lisa and I couldn't be more pleased. Nellie can be a bit anxious if she is not with me, but she settled in with Lisa and Stuart and enjoyed her trip out with them. Lisa made me feel really at ease and she was so kind and patient with Nellie. When returning to pick Nellie up you could see how content she was as she wasn't really in a rush to leave and once she greeted me she happily went back to sitting on the sofa. Lisa was very kind in sorting a throw for Nellie to sit on, some doggy steps so she could get on the sofa easily and putting rugs down to stop her slipping on the laminate flooring. So glad to have found Lisa, thank you!
Highly recommend this lovely couple. Left our 7 month old for his first overnight and he was so well looked after - lots of lovely walks, attention and care, and Lisa brushed him. Also, Lisa sent lots of photo updates.
This was Izzys 2nd stay with Lisa . Lisa is so good with Izzy, highly recommended.
Bailey had a lovely first stay with Lisa . He looked so happy and handsome when I picked him up having been so well looked after and beautifully groomed . I would definitely recommend Lisa as a dog sitter and I will certainly be using her again 😊

Safety, trust & environment
We have a lovely quiet household on a very quiet street with a safe fully enclosed garden. We live in a semi-rural area with lots of lovely walks nearby and are only a couple of miles from the beach. We don’t mix dogs from different families so you can be assured your dog will be given our undivided attention whilst they are in our care.
A typical day
Your dog will be walked in a lovely rural area where there are lots of exciting smells to stimulate their brain and your dog will have full access to a safe enclosed garden. Your dog’s routine will be kept to and you can rest assured that your dog will be given our undivided attention at all times.
