“Chloe looked after our two cats for a week while we were on holiday. I loved receiving updates and photos from Chloe while we were away. Chloe is fantastic and looked after our cats so well. They looked so happy in the photos! Would highly recommend and will definitely use Chloe’s cat drop in services again ☺️🐈 🐈”
“Lobby was a star, who persisted to find our house in the countryside. She sent photos of Bryher during our absence and daily updates. Very prompt to respond to any messages from.us. Our cat is quite nervous so seeing her coming to see Libby was very reassuring. Thank you, Libby.”
“Evie was an excellent dog sitter for our dogs! She was responsive and easy to communicate with, arrived on time and did everything we asked her to do. We felt really safe leaving our dogs in her care, and came home to them fast asleep! Would definitely recommend Evie and would ask her to dogsit for us again!”
“10/10 would recommend Sarah. Sarah was very reliable and kept us up to date every day. We enjoyed receiving the daily photos and felt at ease knowing our cat was very well looked after.”
“Matthew was fantastic with drop ins for my cats! He kept me so updated and it really alleviated my travelling stress. I came home to 2 happy cats and had a relaxing time away knowing they were safe. He even went above and beyond cleaning up after them.”
“Our cats (and also plants) enjoyed the care and attention she gave them. The cats were so relaxed and happy when we came home. Every day she send very lovely and clear updates and photos during the time we were away. We will definitely ask you first next time when we are going away. Thank you for your care.”
About: I own a dog walking business which is based in the areas of Morecambe, Heysham, Hest Bank and Halton and surrounding areas. I have a crated van, insurance and I’m also Canine First Aid Trained. I also have a pet jet for washing down your muddy pups 🐾 I have been open since April 2025. I walk in small groups of maximum 4 dogs paired carefully. It’s £15 for a 1 hour group walk, additional dogs from the same household are an extra £5. Pet visits are £10. I have many years of experience in the industry with all types of animals including horses, rabbits, dogs and cats. I also offer horse care services which I am qualified in with 15+ years personal experience 🐎 Please contact me first for a free meet and greet if you are interested, thankyou 🐾😊 This job fits into my weekly routine perfectly, I love my job and all the furry friends that come with it, it fits in with my healthy active lifestyle very well. On my walks, all the dogs are treated like my own. They are all spoilt with treats (if allowed) and lots of attention. My walks are a perfect way for your dogs to socialise with other dogs which is very important. You can find from my walks that some range from quiet strolls to adventurous walks/runs, depending on your dogs capability. All dogs are paired carefully 😊
“Paige did an excellent job taking care of our quite shy cat. She kept us updated with photos and videos while we were away, which really put our minds at ease. We felt completely reassured knowing our pet was in such good hands. I would definitely hire Paige again in the future :)”
About: I have taken care of both my own dogs and other peoples for 10 years, I also have experience in cat sitting and have previously owned Guinea pigs. Throughout my time looking after dogs I have dealt with both senior and puppies making me well suited to accommodate the specific needs of individual dogs. I am currently studying at university and have plenty of time both to walk dogs and make home visits, as well as overnight stays so am very flexible in terms of how many hours I can work as well as when those hours are. Both at home and in another pet owners home I make sure that Gates leading out of the property are properly shut so that all pets remain safe. I also make sure that the needs of all pets including food, water and attention are met so that the pets in question are not only well looked after but are also happy.
About: I’ve grown up around dogs all my life which has made me become very fin of all animals and created a passion for animals and I’d love if I could always be around animals and take care of the and give the the love the deserve. Currently I have two big dogs who I love and adore and I can’t wait to meet many other different kinds of dogs and cats. I’m currently studying at Lancaster University, however my schedule is not very busy at the moment so I would love to use my spare time to help others and care for their animals. I’m very experienced with dogs of all breeds and could manage any issues I may or may not encounter. I love playing with dogs so I would be very content looking after playful dogs who need a lot of attention. I also enjoy going on walks by myself but having a dog there would make it even better! I’m confident that I can manage and be attentive to any breed and any personality a dog may have. I’m good at reading animals body language to understand if they’re nervous, uncomfortable or unsure and would do my best to take them out the situation that was maybe causing them to feel such a way.
“Ellie was awesome with our princess Feebee (cat) We came home to a well looked after feline,exactly what we wished for,she came on her way to work and on her way home which worked out purrfect Will certainly be asking ellie to watch feebee in the future if were away Thanks ellie”
“Ashleigh came to do a meet and greet with me and my Border Collie, Casper, and took him for a walk. He seemed to love her straight away and she had a great skill and confidence in getting my cheeky dog to behave! Really looking forward to Ashleigh taking care of Casper again and have booked further dog walks and house/dog sitting with her.”
“Jason is a lovely guy, very friendly and looking after people's fur babies are obviously a passion for him. He did an absolutely fantastic job looking after my cat Charlie. He spent time with Charlie to play with him and give him attention which was really appreciated. The photos and videos at each visit were great and the messages for each visit letting me know exactly how Charlie was doing. It was very reassuring knowing that Charlie was being looked after so well whilst we were away. I'll most certainly be booking Jason when we have our next trip away. Definitely a 5 star review!”
About: Growing up with dogs, and helping out friends and family with walking theirs, I've spent a lot of time learning how to look after different dogs - of different breeds, and very different personalities. I've loved dogs since I was a child, (my first word was dog! 😂) and love spending time with them - so would love to help you and your pet out! I have quite a flexible schedule as a student - only having a few hours a week where I have to be on campus, so anytime around my lectures works perfectly! And I'm always happy to figure out what times are best for you and your pets The safety of a pet is always my top priority. I will never let your dog off leash unless they are in an enclosed area, or I am certain that they will listen to me recalling them. Anytime I am with your pet, they will have my complete, undivided attention, to ensure I am looking after them to the best of my ability. I'll send you update photos/videos as frequently as you request, and consistently let you know how you pet is doing, and where we're walking. I'll ask quite a few questions before meeting your pet, to ensure I care for them to the best of my ability, and follow and instructions or boundaries you give without fail.
About: I’ve had pets since I was 8. As soon as I had the chance to walk my neighbour dog I realised is a nice way to fill my spare time. I only work a couple of hours a day so I’ve got plenty of time to do some walks, housesitting or even go to the vet if necessary. I can teach your pet easy and basic commands, I can play with them in the park and also I do like to do long-walks with them
About: I’ve had dogs all my life, I currently have a 45kg Labrador cross so very experienced with all large dogs. I’ve done a variety of training and will always help you with your dogs if you need any guidance. I work this round my university studies, I’m usually available every weekend & evenings but I can accommodate last minute requests, Just give me a message! I have a large fenced garden and a large Labrador playmate for your pets! We go on long walks, often to the beach or the woods.
About: Although I don’t currently have any pets (I blame my landlord); growing up, I shared my house with two big dogs and three cats - With a busy family, I was relied on to walk, feed, bathe and cuddle them all ☺️ I work full time as a community support worker in York. I can usually be available any time throughout the week after 5pm. I have every evening free as well as weekends. Any time I’m not in work, I’m more than happy to help out. Due to my landlord, he won’t let animals into my own apartment 🙄 I would be more than willing to sneak them in however I fear the worst so it’s maybe best that I come to you instead!
About: Since I was little I have always lived with animals. Currently my family and I have 2 cats and 1 dog. I walk my dog most days and I helped to train him as a pup. I love my cats so much and spend a lot of my time playing with and caring for them. I really miss being around my animals when I’m away at University, so would be so happy to meet and care for your pet :) I am currently studying Medicine at the University of Manchester. I am currently on a break from placement, writing up an extended project at home, so my schedule is very flexible. With a few days notice I am more or less available whenever is needed. When looking after dogs I would ensure I keep them on a lead at all times - unless I had full trust in my relationship with them and you had confirmed they could be let off. If a cat was an indoor cat I would never let it near an outside door or leave windows open. I am living in student accommodation at the moment so would not be able to have pets in my own home.

Lancaster cat owners share their Rover experiences
Chloe took the time to meet our two cats before the booking, which we really appreciated. She was very easy to communicate with and always asked questions if she was unsure about anything. Throughout our time away, she provided plenty of updates and photos, giving us peace of mind that our cats were well cared for. We came home to two happy, relaxed cats and would happily recommend Chloe to anyone looking for a reliable and caring cat sitter.
Linda has been absolutely amazing. She gave so much care and attention to all of our elderly cat’s needs and eccentricities, ensuring he got all of his meds and plenty of time for strokes. We were a bit worried about leaving our cat in the hands of a stranger, especially as he has additional health needs, but Linda treated him like he was one of our own and we were able to see him contentedly purring in the videos she sent during her visits, leaving us free to relax and enjoy our holiday knowing he was in safe hands. I highly recommend Linda, and would definitely use her services again.
Bonnie did a fantastic job taking care of our two cats when we were away at short notice. She was reliable and professional and kept us updated with lovely photos every day which made us feel very reassured! Both cats were really happy and relaxed when we returned. We would highly recommend Bonnie and would not hesitate to book with her again.
It was in the initial meeting that i knew Beatrice was the perfect person to look after a rather nervous cat who would be feeling lonely when i went on holiday. She was great in learning what was needed and i know that in her 30 minute visits, my cat would have got a huge amount of 'tlc'. It was great to receive a video during my time away. The end of my holiday was thrown into total chaos due to severe weather in Europe, airport closures and flight cancellations. However, Beatrice willingly stepped in with anything extra which was needed until i could return home. The wonderful thing is that when i go away again, i will be asking Beatrice to look after my cat in full knowledge of the superb care and attention my 'fluffy friend' will get!
We’re so grateful for the wonderful care our cats received. Evie took the time to visit beforehand to understand their routine and make sure everything would be just right. While we were away, she kept us updated with sweet photos and messages that really put our minds at ease. It’s clear she genuinely cares, and we came home to two very happy, relaxed cats. We couldn’t ask for better and would happily book her again! Thank you again, Evie!
