About: I am a huge dog lover!! I was always been brought up around dogs and taking care of them while ensuring they’re well cared for is so important to me. At the moment, I am working part-time and my office is very small with up to 3 of us working at any time. If it’s a work day, I can bring your pup along for extra care and cuddles!! Outside of my 3 days a week, I am studying nursing but would love to make up some extra pennies when I’m not studying. My front and back gardens are fully fenced, providing a secure outdoor space for dogs to enjoy. I also have a very friendly and well-behaved 8-year-old Cocker Spaniel named Jack, who is a much-loved member of the family. I understand that every dog has different needs, so I’m happy to accommodate arrangements that ensure all pets feel comfortable and safe. If preferred, I can keep visiting dogs separate from Jack to provide a calm and stress-free environment for everyone.

About: My girlfriend and I have had family pets since we can remember, we love looking after dogs and have always been the go to for family and friends as we have our own house with a spacious fenced garden for them to run around. We would love our own dog but due to work commitments during the week it wouldn’t be fair so that’s why we have decided to give our love to other dogs until we are in a better position to get our own. We can do Friday and weekend bookings. We don’t have any children or other pets so when we look after other dogs we treat them like our own and they have all of our attention while they are staying with us. We have looked after all ages from puppies to mature dogs. We don’t smoke and love going on walks, especially on the beach. Dogs staying with us are apart of the home and are allowed all over the house and on furniture if the owner is okay for them to do so. Your pet will be very well looked after and made at home as soon as they step through the door. I currently finish work at lunch time on Fridays so we can take bookings for Friday from then I finish at 13:30 and live 5 mins away so can be anytime after that, Saturday all day and night and then Sunday daytime and into the evening. We can look after a dog from Friday until Sunday or anything in between. We have a fenced garden for them to roam, the space is all theirs as we don’t have any children or other pets. 100% of our attention will be given to pets while in our care whether it’s for a few hours or overnight.

About: Dogs have been a massive part of my life from childhood. I have always had springer spaniels and Staffies. I also have experience looking after basset hounds, terriers and German shepherds. I live in central lytham (the most dog friendly place in the U.K.) and work from home, so your furry friend would never be alone. This is my first time using rover so am happy to have a phone chat / meeting with your pet before booking. DBS Checked. **FOR DROP IN VISITS PLEASE ONLY BOOK BETWEEN 11:30AM - 2PM** As I work from home I can tailor my routine to suit your dog, I aim to make their dog boarding experience as similar to home as possible. I am an experienced dog owners and I work from home so your dog would never be alone. I don’t have any pets currently so your dog would gets my full attention.

About: We have always had Pets, whether it be rabbits, guinea pigs, dogs or cats. We currently have two guinea pigs and two working cocker spaniels. We believe all animals are family, and our home is their home, they are allowed to go anywhere in the house, on the furniture and even on our bed if that’s where they feel the most safe. We have a large, fenced back garden to play lots of games in. I work from home full time, and my partner works from home three days a week. We love going on long walks, whether it be to the beach, along the canal, up to the lake district – when were not working you can guarantee we have a long walk with our pups planned. Pet care isn't something I fit into my routine it *is* my routine! My dogs are my life, and pretty much everything in my day revolves around making sure they're happy, healthy, and having fun. I work from home with a flexible schedule, so I'm around throughout the day and can easily adapt to whatever your pet needs. One of my favourite parts of the day is taking breaks from my desk to spend time with the dogs, whether that's heading out for a walk, having a quick game in the garden, or just stopping for a cuddle. Our days are built around walks, playtime, enrichment, and lots of companionship. My dogs get several walks a day, and any visiting dogs become part of the family routine. We're lucky to have plenty of lovely walking spots nearby, so there's always somewhere interesting to explore. When we're at home, there's no shortage of attention and affection. I'm definitely the type of person who ends up with dogs on the sofa, curled up at my feet while I work, or sneaking in cuddles whenever I can. I genuinely love spending time with animals, and making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved is really important to me. I'm also happy to accommodate individual needs, whether that's medication, special feeding routines, favourite treats, extra exercise, or a little more patience and reassurance for nervous pets. Every pet is different, and I enjoy getting to know their personalities and routines. I'll always keep owners updated with photos and messages so you can see what your pet is getting up to and have peace of mind while you're away. For me, caring for animals never feels like a job. It's something I genuinely love, and I treat every pet in my care as if they were one of my own. Certainly, how I care for pets can vary depending on whether I'm providing pet care in my own home or in a pet owner's home. Here's how I typically approach both scenarios: Caring for Pets in My Home (Pet Sitting at My Place): Safe and Comfortable Environment: In my home, I ensure a safe and comfortable environment for your pets. If you have a large fenced backyard, it's an ideal space for dogs to play and explore. I'll make sure any potential hazards are minimized. Regular Exercise: With access to a fenced garden and nearby walks, I'll ensure your pets get plenty of exercise. Daily walks in the area and playtime in the garden can keep them active and happy. Feeding and Medication: I'll follow your feeding schedule and dietary instructions diligently. If your pets require medication, I'll administer it as needed and ensure they get the proper dosage. Play and Social Interaction: I love spending quality time with pets, so I'll engage in play, cuddles, and interaction. If your pets enjoy the company of other animals, I can introduce them to my own pets if it's safe and approved by you. Cleanliness: I'll maintain a clean environment for your pets, including regular cleaning of food and water bowls, litter boxes (if applicable), and bedding. Communication: Throughout the stay, I'll keep you updated with photos and messages, so you know how your pets are doing and can have peace of mind. Caring for Pets in the Pet Owner's Home (House Sitting): Maintaining Routine: I understand the importance of consistency for pets, so I'll stick to their established routine as closely as possible. This includes feeding times, walks, playtime, and any other specific habits they have. Home Security: In addition to caring for your pets, I'll also take care of your home. I can bring in the mail, water plants, and ensure the security of your property to give you peace of mind. Respect for Your Home: I'll treat your home with the utmost respect, ensuring cleanliness and tidiness throughout my stay. Emergency Preparedness: I'm trained in pet first aid and know when to seek veterinary care in case of emergencies. Your pets' well-being is my top priority. Communication: Just like when caring for pets in my own home, I'll maintain open communication with you, providing updates and photos to keep you informed about your pets and home. Whether I'm caring for pets in my own home or at the pet owner's home, my approach is centered around the well-being, safety, and happiness of the animals. I adapt to their specific needs and routines, ensuring they receive the care and attention they deserve while you're away.

About: Hi there! I'm Amy; a passionate animal lover and proud dog mom to two American Bullies, Apollo and Kobe. Dogs truly are my world and I adore them no matter their size, shape, or breed. Having spent years caring for and walking a variety of breeds—from Labradors, Rottweilers, Pitbulls, German Shepherds, Cane Corsos, Bichon Frises, Shih Tzus and Hungarian Vizslas (to name a few!), I’ve gained the skills and confidence over the years to handle dogs of all sizes and temperaments. As someone who believes no dog should face discrimination based on appearance or breed, I advocate for treating every dog with the love, respect and individuality they deserve. Whether your dog is big, small, tough-looking (or thinks he/she is!), or not, I’m here to ensure they receive the care they need. No dog should have their walk requests rejected based on their appearance or breed. Alongside my personal experience and many years serving my clients, I volunteer with dog rescue charities whenever possible. This rewarding work has given me valuable insight into dogs from difficult backgrounds, teaching me patience, compassion and resourcefulness as we help them adjust and find their forever homes. Growing up in a family of dog lovers, I was always the go-to dog sitter for friends and family! Now, I’ve turned that lifelong passion into a profession. While I live at home in a house with a garden with Apollo and Kobe, my services are now better suited to offering your dog (or dogs) the one-on-one care and attention they need, either at your home or out and about. As an outdoors enthusiast, I love nothing more than diving into my walking boots and heading out into nature with a coffee and a furry companion by my side. So whether you are looking for a leisurely walk for your pooch, or you own a ball of energy who needs an adventurous run in a local park, I am here to help. I’m also experienced in dog training and behaviour management, having worked with a range of breeds over the years and completed many courses in areas such as Dog Emotion & Cognition, Canine First Aid Level 3 and Understanding Animal Behaviour & Welfare (certificates available on request). With me, you can trust that your dog will receive the care, patience and attention they need. Your dog will return home happy, well exercised and showered with love, ready to relax. I work flexible hours from home through the week. I am able to travel in my car to attend the needs of my clients . I have a secure home with 6ft+ fences. Unfortunately, due to my beloved Apollo being considered a banned breed, he is no longer able to interact with dogs from other households and therefore unable to join play dates, so my services are offered on a 1:1 basis only.

Caley is an incredible sitter with fantastic knowledge and experience caring for cats. It was amazing to see how calm and safe my cats felt around her and it was clear to see that they would be in safe hands. Caley’s daily check in reports are thorough and comprehensive and make you feel at ease. I wouldn’t hesitate to ask her to look after my cats again. ❤️

About: I’ve grown up with dogs and have always been the one in the family who takes care of them. I raised two Labradors, Maisy and Maude, a mum and daughter, and was even there when Maude was born. I’ve recently moved out and don’t live with dogs anymore, which is why I’m here. I miss being around them and want to help people who need a reliable, easygoing sitter or walker. I’m calm, patient, and happy to follow whatever routine works best for your dog. I treat every dog with the same care I’d want for my own. I work full-time, but I’m home on Mondays and Fridays, which makes those days perfect for dog sitting while I work remotely. I’m also free most evenings during the week for walks, and I have good availability on weekends for both walking and sitting. Pet care fits in naturally around my schedule, and I really enjoy having that time with dogs—it doesn’t feel like a chore, it’s something I genuinely look forward to. At the owner’s home, I follow their routine and make sure the dog feels comfortable and cared for. At my secure apartment, I take dogs out regularly for walks and breaks, keeping things calm and safe indoors.

About: I've had three dogs and three cats over the course of my life, so for me a family doesn't feel complete without a pet 😌. As a teenager I have taken care of dogs and I am very fond of those memories, it would be wonderful to make some new ones! I work for myself as a photographer and am studying part-time at the open university so both of these occupations allow me to be quite flexible. I will always treat every pet as if it were my own. Toilet breaks, feeding times and cuddles are priorities but of course any special care requirements for your pet are also a top priority.

About: I've always been around animals since a young age, and have owned a dogs for the past 13 years. Being a dog owner I know how hard it can be to find the right, safe place for your dog. We ask that your dog is friendly, and shows no signs of aggression. We have a very friendly dog and 2 children and therefore we need to be sure that they are safe and happy. We walk for miles everyday with our dog, and so your little fur baby can join in with us on our usual little routines! I work part time from home so I can give lots of cuddles and walks. Our dog Nel, loves company too We have plenty of space in our home, along with a safe, enclosed garden. We're surrounded by beautiful woodland walks, and with your permission, we also love taking trips to the beach. Your dog will be well cared for and treated like one of the family. We'll make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. There are lots of toys here for them to enjoy — and even more cuddles!

I have had my cat Lola for 12 years and when I have been away on holiday have always been able to rely on family to pop in and see to her. This time all the family were away together and so somebody suggested using Rover. I was very apprehensive for not only being able to rely on them coming but also having a stranger in my home. When I went through the possible sitters I came across Caroline. Her profile looked good and so I made contact. Caroline replied straight away and said she is available for the times and days I needed. She offered to come to my home the day before with no extra cost. When she arrived I was very nervous but Caroline put me at ease straight away telling me how much she loves cats and has them of her own. She was very well presented and really sweet natured. She asked to meet Lola and Lola, who is normally very shy and will run and hide from new people allowed me to pick her up and she made contact with Caroline. Caroline asked to be shown where all her food and bedding is and asked to be told of any possible hiding spots. She asked lot's of detailed questions about her needs and routines. Caroline agreed to the times best to visit the home and she ensured me that the doors and windows will always be checked for security. Caroline has such a sweet nature and I felt instantly at ease. Throughout my holiday I had a text from Caroline each morning and night and a full report of what herself and Lola had been getting up too. She ensured me that she had eaten all her food and had topped up her water. The best part of the service is Caroline sent me pictures and it was amazing to see how happy and content she looked in Caroline's company. After her last visit Caroline left the key and messaged me to to say how lovely Lola is and would be more then happy to have her again. Initially, I was very nervous about this but I would 100% use Caroline again and I know Lola would love to see her again. I have recommended Caroline to my friends and family and have been very happy with the service I received. Caroline is very much the cat lady who clearly loves spending time with animals and she did a fantastic job in ensuring me that the home and Lola were both safe which meant I had a lovely and relaxed time away. There is nothing I would change about the service she provided. And to top it all off when I got home Caroline sent me a video reel of their time together and it shows Lola interacting with Caroline which is something that Lola does not do with many people so she clearly has the magic touch. Thank you Caroline and I look forward to working with you again. xx

About: I have had years of experience helping family and friends out with their pets. I would always jump at the chance to look after any dogs & cats if the opportunity was given to me. Weekends, I’m free all day and night to take care of your pets, go for walks, check ins or even over night stays within your homes. I’m currently working full time, however I’m flexible to work within the evenings Monday- Friday to do evening walks or check ins or over night stays. During walks I respect the owners wishes, so I'm happy to keep them on lead if someone isn't confident about them being let off, and if I do let dogs off it's only in an open but secure park / grass area. When taking care of your loving pets, I will always take lots of pictures and videos to give owners daily updates on how they're settling in and what they might have been up to that day - Dogs they've been socialising with, walks they've had and any other updates in general.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to £25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poo breaks occured. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available for dedicated customer support by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalised, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

Yes, absolutely! Many sitters on Rover are experienced in caring for multiple pets simultaneously, whether you have a pack of dogs, a clowder of cats, or a mix of both.

Look for sitters who highlight multi-pet expertise or check for verified reviews from other Fylde pet parents with similar pet households.

Every sitter on Rover must pass an identity verification before they can list their services. An identity verification confirms that the sitter is who they say they are based on their documents.

Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have.

Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Fylde choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a key safe or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a key safe. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalised codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in a flat, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or lift etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.

Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.

Emergency support is available by phone or email in English, French, German, and Spanish from Mon-Sat 9am to 6pm. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a qualified vet or offer other resources to help.

If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s booking protection means Rover Support will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
