Dog Walking in Blackburn with Darwen

“Sarah was able to facilitate walking Maple last minute and was absolutely fabulous! Sarah not only walked Maple but filled up her water bowl and gave her a kong following the walk. We loved all the photo updates, Maple looked so happy on her walk! Highly recommend, thank you Sarah x x”

About: I have two cats and one dog of my own, so I truly understand how much pets mean to their families. I grew up with cats and have cared for them my whole life — from playful kittens to older, more independent cats. I also volunteer at a local doggy day care, where I help look after dogs of all breeds and sizes. On top of that, I take my own dog to training classes, so I’m confident handling dogs with different personalities and energy levels. Whether it’s keeping your cats comfortable at home or making sure your dog gets plenty of exercise and fun, I treat every pet like my own — with patience, care, and lots of love. I work full-time for the NHS on a bi-weekly shift pattern, so my schedule stays the same every two weeks. This means I know exactly when I’m available in advance, and I can plan regular or one-off bookings with plenty of notice. I keep my calendar updated so you always know when I’m free for dog walks, cat visits, or last-minute help. My consistent routine means your pet’s care will always be reliable and stress-free. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. I have experience handling animals in different environments — from my own home with my two cats and dog, to volunteering at a busy doggy day care. I know how to keep pets calm, secure, and happy, whether we’re out on a walk, playing at home, or just having a quiet cuddle. You can trust that I’ll always follow your instructions exactly — from feeding routines and medication to special quirks that make your pet feel at ease. I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages, so you always know how your pet is doing. I understand how important it is to leave your furry family member with someone reliable, caring, and responsible — and I promise to treat them like my own in a safe, loving environment

About: I provide calm, attentive and individualised care for dogs in a quiet home environment overlooking Corporation Park in Blackburn, with easy access to larger walking areas including Witton Park and Billinge Woods. My background is in occupational therapy studies, which has shaped the way I approach dog care. I pay close attention to behaviour, routine, body language and individual needs rather than treating every dog the same way. Some dogs need more activity and engagement, others need a calmer and more predictable environment, and I adapt accordingly. I grew up with Cass, a Jack Russell, from childhood into my teens, which gave me an early understanding of canine behaviour and communication. More recently, I have gained additional hands-on experience helping care for dogs with varying temperaments and energy levels. I enjoy walking, hiking and trail running, so active dogs are very welcome, but I also value structure and calm routines. Walks are purposeful and suited to the individual dog, and evenings are generally relaxed and settled to help dogs feel secure and comfortable away from home. At the moment I am taking time away from my studies, which means I have the flexibility and availability to dedicate proper time and attention to the dogs in my care rather than fitting them around a busy schedule. I offer home boarding, walks, and house sitting, and I aim to create an environment where dogs feel safe, understood and well looked after. For first bookings, I prefer to arrange a meet-and-greet beforehand so I can understand your dog’s routine, behaviour and needs, and make sure everyone feels comfortable and settled. At the moment I have a flexible schedule, which allows me to give dogs consistent attention, regular walks and a calm home environment throughout the day. I enjoy walking, hiking and trail running, so active dogs are very welcome, but I also adapt to dogs who prefer a slower pace and more routine-based care. I live in a quiet area overlooking Corporation Park in Blackburn, with access to larger parks and woodland walking routes nearby. I take a calm, observant and individual approach to dog care, paying close attention to behaviour, routine and comfort levels. I also arrange meet-and-greets before bookings to help make sure everyone feels comfortable and the environment is a good fit.

“Lu was wonderful. She came in every day and took our anxious little dog for a walk or just played with him when he didn’t want to go out. Lu respected his fears without pushing him to do anything he was anxious of, and gave him lots of fuss and love. Will absolutely use Lu again.”

Hayley J.

“Jade was amazing with Caesar, she came to meet him in the week before taking him out so he was familiar with her, and we knew he would be in safe hands with Jade! She took him on a few walks and sent lots of pictures of him having the best time and hope he can play out with her again soon!”

About: I’ve been caring for others cats and dogs for a few years now but started walking and sitting over the last two years. Many in my village have trusted me to care for both their cats and dogs including household with both. I love animals and have been known to take great care of the animals in the owners absence. I’m currently a full time uni student with time to spare especially at weekends. However I have free time during the week to take your pet out for walks or toilet breaks. In owners homes I have put the pet in a crate over night and managed the areas the pet is allowed to go well. I take great care of your furry family members as well as the home. I’ve administered eye drops and medications along with food and breaks outside for your pets.

About: Thankyou for viewing my profile! I’m 20 years old, I have 2 years pet care experience that I completed at Myerscough college, however, I have owned pets, particularly dogs my whole life! It is my dream to set up my own dog walking business and be my own boss! I joined rover to earn a little bit of extra money for my family. I hold a full drivers license. Being a dog owner, I know they mean more to us then ‘just pets’. I assure you I will take care of your pet as my own and give them the best experience while they’re with me. I am currently unemployed, as I have a 1 year old daughter who is not yet in nursery. However, I have adequate childcare for her. I am fully flexible Monday-Friday for dog walking, dog sitting, drop ins etc. I have 2 dogs of my own, so your dog would need to be friendly with others, if you wanted to board your dog with me. I have an large enclosed yard, but this is stones/decking, not grass. I also have a young child, so your dog/s must be okay being around children. Preferably I would choose to pet sit/ board animals in the owners home. As the animal will be familiar with is surroundings, and this works better for me with my schedule. I am able to follow any instructions/ commands you leave me for your pet such as feeding times/walks etc.

About: I have looked after so many of my family and friends dogs so I have plenty of experience with different sizes and temperaments of animals and am equipped to take care of them. I love dogs and thought this would be a great way to spend my time while at university away from my dogs at home. I’m currently a student at the University of Surrey doing paramedic science and am in Tuesday and Friday so have plenty of free time during the week. I take care of my dogs and for family members and friends taking them out for walks, feeding them and playing with them inside and out.

About: I have been caring for dogs at my home for over 7 years, treating each one like a member of my own family. I have always prioritized their needs, comfort, and happiness, because I believe dogs are among the purest souls on the planet and deserve the highest level of care and affection. Over the years, I have gained hands-on experience in all aspects of dog care, including feeding, grooming, exercise, medication, and emotional well-being. My dedication and love for dogs drive me to provide the best care possible, ensuring they feel safe, happy, and loved at all times. I am currently working a part-time job, which gives me plenty of free time to dedicate to pet care. I have a flexible schedule and can adjust my timings to meet the needs of the pets. I make sure pets are safe, comfortable, and well-fed. I provide fresh water, regular meals, and bathroom breaks on schedule. I take them on walks or play sessions to keep them active and healthy. I follow any instructions from the owner, such as specific diets, medications, or routines. I also ensure their bedding and living area are clean, monitor their behavior and health, and give attention based on each pet’s personality and needs.

About: Academically, I hold a Level 3 Technical Diploma in Animal Management and recently graduated with a 2:1 in Wildlife Conservation with Zoo Biology, earning a First for my dissertation. Whether you have a playful puppy, or a senior pet needing extra TLC, I’ve got the knowledge, experience, and genuine passion to care for them like they’re my own. I am flexible and open to last minute bookings. I’ll always do my best to accommodate your bookings and keep you updated on my availability. I will follow the requirements that are given to me by the owner. I am passionate in pet care so will deliver the utmost high quality care and love to pets. I studied animal behaviour in college and have had hands on experience with this so I am knowledgeable in reading behaviour of dogs, cats, etcetera, so I am very vigilant.

About: I grew up with Dobermans and love dogs. I had a border collie for 10 years and loved going out for long walks with him. I work odd hours so could potentially drop in to walk your dog, drop in to check on them and give them some fuss. I can follow any and all instructions given for your best pal to ensure they’re safe and well looked after. Plenty of cuddles and walks 😃 I’m currently working odd and intermittent hours so may be able to work around your schedule. Drop me a line and we can talk about it :) I hold an advanced DBS check on the update service and take security of your property very seriously. I am happy to follow all instructions about your dog if dropping in to walk/check on them

About: I've looked after dogs personally for over 26 years. I've trained puppies and I've trained older dogs. I'm super fit as I go to the gym and walk miles each week. I currently work from home so I can provide a personal service for your dog any day all day. If you would like me to visit your home then that is OK also. I also have a dbs certificate for peace of mind I have a fenced yard and a open house where the dog can walk and play. I have leads and dog bowls and food if necessary

About: Lifelong dedication to caring for cats and dogs, backed by extensive personal experience. Regularly house-sitting for friends and family has honed my skills in providing attentive and reliable care. My track record includes successfully retraining older stray cats for happier, more sociable lives, and assisting with the litter training and feeding of multiple young puppies at my local RSPCA branch. Pet care seamlessly integrates into my weekly routine. I work full time as a hybrid project manager which affords me the flexibility to work from home three to four days a week, enabling me to provide attentive care to pets throughout the day. With a full clean driving license and no major commitments, I can easily accommodate pet sitting appointments and ensure that each pet receives the care and attention they deserve. When caring for pets in my home or a pet owner's home, safety, trust, and creating a comfortable environment are my top priorities. In my Mellor home, I have a large house with plenty of space for pets to roam and play. While we have a spacious garden, I am vigilant about supervising pets to ensure their safety, especially considering the adjacent road. Rest assured, I never leave a pet unsupervised in the garden. I maintain a clean and hygienic environment, free from hazards, to keep pets safe and healthy while providing plenty of love and attention.

“Katie was a pleasure to meet and my dogs were obviously very comfortable with her - happy she'll do a great job when she dog / house sits next month. Glenn J”
