Pet Sitting Lancaster

About: I'm experienced in caring for both cats and dogs, and especially passionate about giving excellent care to older and/or medically complex pets. I love the wide variety in cat behaviour, whether they are happiest just existing in the same room, or sitting on my lap, I am always happy to take care of them. While I love all types of dogs, I'm best suited to dogs with less intensive exercise needs, such as smaller breeds or elder dogs. I also have experience taking care of reactive dogs. For drop-ins and dog walks, I may be able to offer a discounted rate in the LA1 3 and LA1 4 areas. If pricing is a concern for you, for example due to low income, or having a large multi-pet household, please get in touch as I may be able to offer a discounted rate. My first proper petsitting experience was taking care of my neighbour's cat when they went on holiday. Even once her owners were back from holiday, we got into a routine where she would wait on the front doorstep every day for me to give her chin scritches. My interest in taking care of medically complex pets comes from personal experience, as my family dog suffered a spinal cord injury a few years ago. Luckily, after excellent vet care, he has an excellent quality of life and is very happy, just with shorter walks than before and regular pain-management medication. I'm very happy to take care of pets that need a little extra attention and support, whether that is with medication, toileting, pain management, reactivity, anxiety, and anything else your pet needs support with. If you're going to be away overnight or for multiple days, I recommend house sitting, as this guarantees your pet will receive love and care whenever they need it. I'll probably ask a lot of questions just to make sure their is minimal disruption to your pets regular lifestyle, and will of course send plenty of updates and photos while taking care of them. I primarily work as a petsitter, alongside occasional knit and crochet commissions. This gives me full flexibility to work within your pets' usual routine, and dedicate as much time as they need to be happy, healthy and comfortable. I will care for your pets as you do! I trust that you know what is best for your pet, and will always to my best to minimise any disruption to their usual routine and lifestyle. I understand that some pets can find it stressful to be taken care of by a new person, so am always happy to do home visits ahead of your trip to make sure your pet knows and likes me - or at least, accepts my presence. I am also insured as a petsitter and dog walker, should any incidents occur. For safety reasons, I prefer to provide my own lead for walks - I will bring this along to a meet and greet so that we can check it's comfortable for your dog. If your dog (or cat!) has a usual walk route, I always appreciate it you can map it out for me.

“Beatrice won the trust of our nervous dog and love of the cats when she dropped by while we were away. I’m very grateful to know they were in safe hands.”

“Well, what can i say. Sarah was incredible, contacted her last minute, and she came to meet my dogs. They clearly loved her straight away. I could see when she logged in my house and out, it was so nice to get sent pictures and updates. I wouldnt use a kennel again, thank you so much for looking after my doggies. Would definitely recommend to anyone wanting their dogs staying at home in their own environment. Thanks again sarah x”

About: I can offer care for all animals at your house. I have had 3 dogs in the past at home to look after alongside a cat. The age and size of dog doesn't bother me as long as if I am to walk them they won't pull me over as I am small. I am 26 and love animals, but working at the station means owning one is difficult. I can groom, walk, play and cuddle. I have a car so can take the dogs to parks or other places further out the way for walks as well as being able to provide my own transport. I can give regular updates on the animals during the day if wished. I work a shift pattern so can help with different days, different times to suit as needed. I walk plenty and own a house with a garden so happy to have your dog for as long as needed across the day I have a 6ft walled garden and plenty of knowledge of where to walk dogs in the local area to suit whatever needs are required

About: I have over seven years of hands-on pet care experience, including working in a busy doggy daycare and managing both a cattery and daycare facility. Throughout my career, I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all breeds, sizes, and personalities, ensuring their safety, comfort, and happiness at all times. I’m deeply passionate about animal wellbeing, which extends into my personal life as well—I share my own beloved golden girl with my husband, and caring for her has further strengthened my understanding of the love, patience, and responsibility pets deserve. I currently work at a doggy daycare three days a week, from Tuesday through Thursday. This gives me full availability on Mondays, Fridays, and weekends, allowing me to offer flexible and reliable pet care during those times. I’m happy to accommodate a variety of schedules and provide attentive care whenever your pet needs it most. I tailor my care to each pet’s individual needs and routine, whether in my home or a pet owner’s home. I focus on maintaining familiar schedules for feeding, walks, playtime, and rest to help pets feel comfortable and secure. I provide plenty of attention, enrichment, and affection, while also prioritizing safety, cleanliness, and calm handling. In a pet owner’s home, I respect their space and follow all care instructions closely, keeping the environment tidy and ensuring pets feel relaxed and well cared for in their own surroundings.

About: I raised and trained my Chihuahua Bella since a puppy and she's now 7 years old and still as lively as ever! I'm now lucky enough take care of my three adorable cats at home; Pageant queen destroyer of the universe who is 2 years old and is reserved but very(!) sassy, Gary who is 20 weeks who is a very cheeky boy who loves to play, and, Striper - the newest addition to our family - who is only 9 weeks old and is slowly beating Gary in play-fights! I also have two guinea pigs at home - Mochi and Ichigo - who have taken a short while to get comfortable but are now as happy as ever squeaking and jumping for lunch! I'm lucky enough to be in a position where I can do this as my main job so I have loads of time to take care of your pets! My usual morning drop-ins are around 9-10am, Lunch around 12-1 and evening around 7-8 however if you have specific timings I'm very flexible! I'll make sure to check in with you when I arrive, send some cute little photos of them playing and eating, and then let you know when I'm out and everything is locked up. I will always do a quick visit with yourself there first so I can see your routine, anything to be aware of (gates to keep them in specific areas/ doors to keep shut) and so you can let me know anything specific or more complicated in person! I have given my cats their worming a flea treatments in the past and given my dog medication when required so if there's any specific needs for your pet I'm more than happy to help!

“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 ☺️🐈 🐈”

“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 grew up with a dog for 15 and a half years, which had a profound impact on me. I decided to pursue dog training after adopting a Boxer, a decision I've never regretted. I've learned a great deal about myself, including my insecurities, strengths, and how dogs and horses perceive me. It's been an invaluable experience that I've refined more and more throughout my life. I can care for dogs of any size and age, though they should be at least one year old. If needed, I can train young dogs and also care for older ones. I can also administer oral medications and give your Sweetie a soft & calming massage. In 2018 and 2021, I adopted two rescued Greyhounds whose calm and balanced nature has helped many other dogs. Even though they sometimes get excited at dog meetups, they always manage to build a stable relationship. This invaluable talent has brought us many friends on our daily walks. My two sweeties have become important members of various dog groups / packs and are, of course, always welcome among people. I am also available to help with nearly any behavioural issues you may encounter with your dog. How to read a dog's body language? How do I train my dog ​​not to pull on the leash all the time? Why does my dog ​​bark even when there's (obviously) no reason to? Would you like to change this unwanted behaviour in your beloved pet? Talk to me. I work from my home office in the mornings and late evenings. At midday, I take my two Greyhounds for their second walk, and they always enjoy sharing this time with new friends. They are both extremely friendly and outgoing, even with small dogs. Then it's garden time, perhaps some training, or playtime with friends like a Giant Schnauzer and a Labrador at my home. So there's always something going on, and after all that romping around, a little nap is more than welcome. I live in a typical residential area in Morecambe, yet still close to Lancaster. The area in and around Heysham and Morecambe offers plenty of opportunities for dog walks - whether out in the open countryside, across fields, or through small wooded areas. Beach walks are by far the dogs' favourite, and we regularly meet up with friends. At home and in my backyard I offer lounging areas, cooling mats in the summer, and a separate feeding area - indoors or outdoors, depending on the season and weather conditions.

“Cannot fault Libby, super quick at replying, accommodated longer sits and also was fine to make last minute changes I had. My cat can be quite anxious around people she doesn’t know but she seems to be so comfortable with Libby 🤗”

About: I’ve taken care of both cats and dogs growing up and I’m excited to meet your best friends! I regularly take care of my family and friends’ animals as I cannot have pets in my current flat and I adore it! I even have two cats of my own ( that live away from me :( )! I am passionate about animals and animal care and conservation and am even aspiring to work with them professionally some day! I currently work shifts for a local retailer so my work hours do vary greatly, however, I have a good ability to choose when and where to work so can work my hours around your pets needs. Outside of work, I have no obligations that would prevent routines and therefore could fit well into your needed pet care plan. Due to my flat not having any available outdoor areas, I choose to provide only home-visit and neighbourhood services. As much as I will not be keeping pets at my home, I live a two minute walk away from the promenade, giving great walking stretches for any dogs, keeping them entertained and happy in a great environment. For in-house visits I am more than happy to do whatever is requested as I understand you know your pet better than anyone else, and I want to offer them and you, the best care possible.

About: I’ve got lots of experience in looking after dogs of all shapes and sizes from my childhood sleepy greyhound to my sisters stubborn miniature dachshund Richmond. Based in the centre of Lancaster I’m in a convenient location and close to some great walks. I currently work full time but from home a few days week so I’m keen to make friends with lots of furry faces either giving them the perfect home away from home or just taking them for a stroll I love making sure the dogs feel safe and comfortable around me & in my home. I make sure to give a lot of attention, cuddles & play with their favourite toy but also make sure to stick to their usual routine so they know they can relax in my company.

About: I grew up with two family dogs who lived to 10 and 12 years old, so caring for dogs has always been a part of my life. Over the years, I helped with feeding, walking, playtime, cleaning, and giving dogs attention and companionship. I’ve also helped care for my uncle’s dogs, and he has shared many useful puppy training tips and experiences with me. Through that, I’ve learned more about routines, patience, positive reinforcement. I genuinely enjoy being around dogs and I’m always willing to learn each owner’s preferences and follow their instructions carefully to make sure their pets feel safe and comfortable. Schedule: My schedule is currently flexible because I’m studying programming from home while job searching. I’m generally more available during the daytime and enjoy spending time caring for pets, including walks, playtime, feeding, and keeping them company. I’m also happy to follow each owner’s preferred routine and care instructions. At the moment, I’m unable to host pets in my home due to rental restrictions, but I’m happy to care for pets in the owner’s home and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owner is away. Safety, trust & environment: I always prioritize a pet’s safety, comfort, and routine while caring for them. I’m patient, attentive, and careful to follow the owner’s instructions, including feeding schedules, walking preferences, and any special care needs. At the moment, I’m unable to host pets in my home due to rental restrictions, but I’m happy to care for pets in the owner’s home and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owner is away.

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 😊

“Very happy with this, more importantly so was Monty. He got to play, two walks, fed, and well looked after. Would definitely recommend Grace!”

About: I have five years of hands-on experience caring for my family dog, a 7-year-old Pomeranian–Shiba Inu mix weighing around 6 kg. He is energetic and friendly with other dogs, so I am comfortable supervising walks, playtime and social interaction. Since moving to the UK, I have really missed spending time with my dog in Hong Kong. This encouraged me to join this platform so I can continue caring for dogs and provide them with safe, attentive and affectionate companionship. I usually walk him for around 30 minutes in the morning or afternoon and another 90 minutes in the evening. I manage his feeding routine, clean his paws after every walk, bathe and brush him regularly, and brush his teeth weekly. I have also given him deworming treatment and medication for ear irritation. After his neutering surgery, I cared for him during his recovery and monitored his energy levels and behaviour closely. During walks, I remain calm, maintain a steady pace and keep the lead controlled rather than encouraging pulling or running. I am reliable, patient and happy to follow each owner’s feeding, walking and care instructions carefully. I can provide regular photo and message updates. I currently offer dog walking and care at the owner’s home. In an emergency, I would contact the owner immediately and seek veterinary assistance when necessary. I am available every day from July to September, so I have plenty of time for walks, playtime and attentive care. From late September, my availability will depend on my university timetable, but I will regularly update my schedule and communicate clearly with owners before accepting bookings. As my accommodation does not allow pets, I only provide dog walking and drop-in care at the owner’s home. I will follow all feeding, walking, medication and household instructions carefully, keep doors secure and make sure your dog is comfortable and safe. I can also send regular photo and message updates, and I will contact the owner immediately if I notice anything unusual.
