Pet Sitting in Blackpool

About: Your precious pet/s will be loved and cared for by me as I appreciate how special our pets are to us. I have been around dogs and other pets (inc. cats) for most of my life and love their companionship. I have recently relocated to the UK after residing in New Zealand for 20+ years (working as a teacher and running a dog home boarding service in the school holidays). I am in the lucky position to be able to offer my services as a dog homestay host or as a sitter in your home, dog walker and/or home pet visits. I have cared for many different breeds, ages and sizes of dogs. I love all the doggy cuddles; indeed, taking a dog for a walk, you could say, is one of my 'happy places.' I have included in my photos some of the reviews I received from many of my previous happy dog owners. The last dog I owned was a Cavoodle and he developed epilepsy at 5 years of age. I had to manage his condition for 6 years before he passed away. I am therefore used to administering medicine and adhering to a strict medicine regime (my dog had to have his meds at specific times throughout the day), and I have experience caring for dogs with specific needs. Importantly, I am qualified in dog psychology and training and used to take part in, and on several occasions ran, a dog agility class. I hold a level 3 Ofqual recognized certificate in canine behaviour and care in a home boarding environment. I am also trained in canine first aid. I offer a high standard of care and am happy to ensure that your pet remains calm and happy while I am responsible for them. A meet and greet is required before I accept a booking. If staying in my home your dog must be fully vaccinated and upto date with flea/worm treatments. I live in a smoke free home. For new clients- Before a stay of more than 2 nights a 1 night trial stay is required. When booking please be as accurate as possible with your drop off and pick up time. Home boarding/house sitting includes 2x daily walks (weather permitting). Daycare also includes a daily walk. Please don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions. I am free to care for your pet throughout the day, 7 days a week. When boarding overnight your dog will follow its normal routines with regards to walks, play (enrichment activities) and feeding. I have a house with a fenced garden and your dog would be cared for as if it was at home. I would follow any instructions given with regard to the care of your pet.

“Jane has been amazing, she took care of my cats on such short notice. She sent daily pictures of my fur babies and kept my mind at ease while on holiday. When I got back, all my cats had been taken care of very well, would definitely recommend to anyone. Will be using Jane again in the future :)”

About: I've taken care of dogs for as long as I can remember, my family always had a dog in the house. I would always help to feed or bathe and occasionally help on the vet visits. No job is too big or too small when it comes to caring for your pet or someone else's. I would treat all dogs as if they were my own as I know from personal experience that my dogs mean so much to me as they are my fur babies!! I'm currently a stay at home Mum, so I have plenty of free time to go on lots of long dog walks or just chill in the park. Occasionally, we may even meet up with some furry friends in the park or chase away the squirrels. Whichever the dog prefers! My 2 dogs are my fur babies and my absolute world, other than my daughter they are the most important things in my life. It's also important to build that trust and bond with other people's pets in order to provide a safe and calm environment for all, because a calm dog is a happy dog.

“My Husky Zena seems to have really enjoyed being looked after by Katherine, she kept me upto date with what she had done with Zena and included pics from her walk which was nice.”

About: I have been around pets since i was a kid . When i became a teenager i always wanted to walk my dog . I grew a love for walking and i have a passion for exercise and keeping fit , i love sharing this with my dog, Jeff, who is a beagle. I have always had my dogs as young puppies and raised them from a young age into adulthood . I know sometimes having the time to walk a dog can be a struggle so i’ve decided i want to extend my walks to help other pet owners. I walk my dog in all weathers and don’t mind the wind and rain at all (the same can’t be said about Jeff 😆 If the weather is hot i may cancel although there could be an option to move your walk to later in the day so it’s more comfortable for your pet. This will be discussed on a case by case basis I have a full time job from 7:30 until 5 Monday to Friday and alternate Saturdays until 2pm. The job i do involves collecting large sums of money and dealing with hazardous materials . This requires a DBS check. My availability is as follows During the week i’m available after 6pm and sometimes in the morning with a bit of notice . Weekends Available all day , there may be times i may be unavailable due to family commitments . I also offer a drop in service This includes keeping your pet occupied , playing and making sure they are fed , hydrated and have been toilet . Any pets that are not toilet trained , any accidents will be cleaned . I have a pet cat also , so i am experienced in that area in making sure your cat’s litter tray is changed ( if applicable ) and also fed and watered . I will do my best to make sure your pets are comfortable and happy in your absence . After a few visits if you feel you may benefit with a weekly schedule , with notice and planning i will be able to make sure i can attend to your pets needs on a regular and routined manner . My cat (Milo) took his time getting used to Jeff as he was the only pet until we got our beagle , he was nervous but we just gave them space and never rushed things and now they are best friends . I have always had cats and dogs since being a kid, so feel i have an understanding of their behaviours. My priority is making sure your pet is safe in my care and is returned to you happy and stimulated. I will only do what you instruct me to do with your pet . The pet will be under my instruction during the walk however , you are the owner and that will always be my priority in making sure your instructions are respected when having control of your pet .
