Pet Sitting in Blackburn With Darwen

About: DBS checked, animal first aid certified and fully insured. I’ve spent the past year fully immersed in raising and training my own high-energy, working-line Labrador puppy. That experience has sparked a deep passion for working with dogs and understanding what makes them happy, safe, and fulfilled. One of the things I care about most is making sure dogs get what they need, not just a walk, but real engagement. I love using play, training games, and decompression walks, to give dogs both mental and physical stimulation, especially in ways that suit their breed and personality. Whether it’s satisfying a Labrador’s love of retrieving or helping a nervous pup feel secure and seen, I put thought into every interaction. While I’m still gaining experience, I’m reliable, observant, and I’m so passionate about providing the best service I can. I treat every dog in my care as I do my own: with love, respect, and so much enthusiasm. Pet care fits nicely into my weekly routine, and I’m currently available part-time on Mondays, Fridays, and weekends. I keep a flexible schedule on those days, which allows me to give your dog the time and attention they deserve without rushing. While I’m starting with limited availability, I can be flexible when needed. Just reach out and I’ll do my best to accommodate you! I’m excited to grow into this role at a pace that allows me to offer the highest quality care. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. At home, we have securely fenced areas at both the front and back of the house, with a grassed space perfect for calm, on-lead playtime and games. Inside, our home is dog-friendly and thoughtfully set up with gated areas to keep pets safe and separate from things like children’s toys or anything that could cause stress or overstimulation. There’s also plenty of space for crates or beds, and I’m happy to accommodate your dog’s usual routine, whether that means crate time, free roaming, or something in between. We do have one resident dog: a friendly, 1-year-old female Labrador (currently unspayed), and a cat who is used to being around dogs. I always take introductions slowly and carefully to ensure everyone feels safe and at ease. Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, I aim to create a calm, secure, and positive environment where they feel relaxed, respected, and happy.

About: I’ve had police working dogs that were obedience and agility trained and also took part in multiple dog shows. I also have had experience breeding dogs as my dog had a litter of her own. I’ve always thoroughly enjoyed being around dogs and walking them so I take care and walk my friends dogs too. Just an all round dog lover! Perfect fit during a day and nights. Garden and home facilities available. Enjoying spending my time with the dogs at home and walking around nature. I can do both but prefer my home. It's absolutely safe at my home and Garden is big enough also safe for the dogs all day long

“This is the second time I've booked Jess for drop in visits for my cats while on holiday, I have 5 cats one of which has cerebellar hypoplasia and is a little bit wobbly, they all love Jess and I have no problems leaving them in her care. I get daily updates, pictures and video's while away. Would definitely recommend 5 🌟”

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’ve been caring for dogs since I was 13, and my love for animals started even earlier when one of my first jobs was working on a farm. I enjoy getting to know all types of dogs and their unique personalities, and nothing makes me happier than spending time with them. I can’t wait to meet some new four-legged best mates! I’m currently working part time on a zero hour contract so I have many available hours to provide the best care for your pets. I have a full UK driving license so travel isn’t a problem for me either. I will be sure to carefully follow any instructions given to me to provide tailored care to your pet as I know all dogs can be different. I live in a semi detached house with a good sized back garden securely kept with walls and fences. I currently don’t have any pets as mine recently sadly passed away after 12 years, I’m ready to look after a pet again without the full commitment

“Katie came for drop in visits to check on both my dogs whilst I was away and she was fantastic, followed instructions which I left for her and they were both well looked after which put my mind at ease. Would defiantly recommend x”

About: I've taken care, walked and basic trained dogs since I was 13. Currently I own a collie. I've always loved dogs and so would love to help in anyways possible to keep your pooches as happy as they can be. I've experience with dealing with reactive dogs and nervous dogs. Mornings walks Monday - Friday 9:30-2 Some Saturdays available. This works around me taking my daughter to school. Dog is never alone for more than 4 hours I have a fenced back garden and a calm dog who likes to relax in the evenings for company. Am able to store a crate in house if required/desired

About: I have had dogs all my life and have always loved all breeds and love the company. Since I have been a teenager I have regularly helped family members and friends walking and caring for their dogs. Happy to walk from 6-8am and 6:25-10pm. I currently work full time Monday to Friday 9-5 but happy to walk between 6-8am and 6:15-10pm Monday to Friday. Occasionally work from home so can do lunch hour but would beee more notice. I am not currently offering dog sitting from my own home at the moment. I am open to sitting in owners homes if and when required

About: I've owned dogs for overs 10 yrs, and provided dog sitting services for other family members for various reasons from dog walks to calling into feed them. To looking after them in both mine and their own home whilst they've been on holiday. I have raised dogs from puppies so am aware of the different needs. Every dog has its own personality and as such I like to arrange a meet and greet prior to looking after your pet to ensure I am aware of all their needs and daily routine. I currently work from home full time so I am able to plan my time around the needs of your pet. I am also an active person who enjoys being outside so I am able to give your pet plenty of exercise if required. I am a calm natured person and have found that dogs do settle easily with me. If caring for a dog in their own home then I would just stick to their daily routine as I find that this keeps your pet content and settled. If caring for pets in my home, I have a fenced back garden that they will have access to. I also have the countryside on my doorstep so they will get plenty of good walks. I am also able to offer plenty of interaction too.

About: I’ve been an animal lover my whole life—growing up with cats taught me patience and affection, and raising my dog from a puppy through ten wonderful years gave me hands-on experience with training, care, and all the little things that help pets feel safe and loved. I know how important it is to find someone you trust with your furry family members, and I’m here to provide that same love and attention while you’re away. As a stay-at-home homebody, my schedule is super flexible, which makes it easy for me to care for pets throughout the day. That said, I do travel often, so advance notice is always appreciated to make sure I’m available. I do my best to accommodate, but a little heads-up helps keep everything running smoothly for everyone—especially your pets! Your pet’s safety is my top priority. I live in a mid-terrace home that’s cozy and well-suited for smaller dogs who feel more comfortable in a calm, contained space. The house has a fully fenced backyard for secure outdoor time, and there’s a front vestibule for added safety when coming and going. While my street is semi-busy (not a main road), it’s important that I’m made aware of any behavioural concerns—like recall issues or door-dashing—so I can take extra precautions. There is a secure gate out front, but the wall is on the lower side, so knowing your pet’s habits in advance really helps ensure everyone stays safe and happy.

“Heather was really great! We have an elderly dog with mobility problems and she had no problems looking after him and keeping him company for the drop in sessions. Would definitely recommend for anyone with elderly or anxious dogs!”

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: 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 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 grown up with dogs, and since 2007 have owned my own - I currently have four dogs (and five cats). I have worked as a dog walker for years, and have recently retrained to work as a Dog Training Advisor. I work full time as a self-employed Dog Training Advisor, Canine Behaviourist and Dog Walker. I am available to work Mon-Fri, but do offer some weekend drop-ins, walks and training sessions too. As a Dog Trainer, I take the time to find out about your dog - their likes, needs, age, health, abilities and any behavioural issues. Although I do offer multiple dog walks, this is only ever done after dogs have been assessed for temperament. Dogs are kept on-lead until engagement has been built up, and are never let off lead if it is your request not to do so.

About: i’ve taken care more of neighbours dogs more than my own as i personally have not had puppies however i am experienced in senior dogs and training dogs:) I work part time at the moment but have a very flexible schedule:) I DONT do over night stays eg 8am monday -tuesday 8am ect but i can do overnight sitting eg 8pm mon- 6am tuesday! I do take at least a day before booking times due to that leaving stress out and a day for cancellations as i understand sometimes things happen and im not one to judge:) As i have cats i deep clean their litter very often and constantly make sure they have water in their bowls. Eating is a little tricky due to every cat has different dietary requirements and times but if you have a set schedule this is something i will always follow! I would clean up after myself or if your pet has some disabilities or is senior i will always make sure to clean up after them in case of accidents and do everything i can to prevent this:)

About: With over 15 years of experience caring for dogs and 10 years for cats, I genuinely enjoy providing attentive care for pets of all ages. I have a special affinity for senior pets, ensuring they receive the love and support they need, including administering medications when required. My flexible services allow me to care for pets in their own home, mine, or during enjoyable walks. I thrive on creating a safe, loving environment where pets feel happy and secure, and I take great joy in building connections with each furry friend. I work from home, which allows me to integrate pet care seamlessly into my daily routine. My life revolves around my two dogs, Jet, a 3-year-old Staffy mix who enjoys daily walks, and Fendi, a 12-week-old Frenchie who is still learning the ropes. I also have two cats, Jinxi and Joy, who keep things lively. Each day starts with morning playtime and a walk for Jet, while Fendi gets plenty of indoor play and socialization. Throughout the day, I take breaks to check on them, ensuring they feel loved and secure. I prioritize feeding schedules and maintain a clean environment, including deep-cleaning litter trays regularly. My passion for animals drives me to create a nurturing atmosphere where all pets feel happy and cared for. As someone new to pet sitting, I am dedicated to creating a safe and welcoming environment for pets in my home. I ensure that all areas are pet-proofed and clean, providing a comfortable space where pets can feel at ease. With my two dogs and two cats, I foster a friendly atmosphere that encourages positive interactions. I prioritize following detailed instructions from pet owners to maintain their routines and preferences, which helps pets feel secure. Building trust with both pets and their owners is essential to me, as I want everyone to feel comfortable while I provide attentive care. My goal is to create a nurturing environment where pets receive the love and attention they deserve, giving owners peace of mind while they’re away.
