Kath was very responsive, warm and welcoming. Alfie was well looked after and enjoyed his stay. Lots of walks, swimming and enrichment. Would highly recommend, and we will use them again next time.

Our dog has been looked after by Marnie before and we didn't hesitate to contact her again for another visit as she looks after her so well. I had regular updates on how she was doing and each photo and report showed her looking so happy and relaxed with plenty of walks and fun times and a big field to run around in!! I have every confidence in Marnie and feel so happy knowing that our little girl is being so looked after and that I was kept updated so well. Definitely can recommend Marnie as a very caring dog sitter who considers your dogs needs thoroughly and really gives the best care to the point I don't think our little girl is happy that she had to come home!! Thank you again Marnie it was wonderful to see you again and I know Lottie had the best time ever!

Duncan was absolutely amazing with our family’s cockapoo. He offered a meet and greet session and we took our dog for a walk. Duncan was brilliant putting our dog at ease straight away with his calm manner. Duncan was very happy to fit in with our dog’s routine and was very good at keeping us regularly updated with videos and photos of his progress. We are very grateful for the individual care and attention he gave our dog. We highly recommend him to anyone looking for dog care

About: I have two very well trained and behaved dogs, Wispa and Mavis, and lifelong experience of dog ownership. I can accommodate all types of friendly dog into usual walks and I drive to a large enclosed field at least once daily, with a separate park walk too. Love dogs, enclosed garden, won't be left any longer than you feel comfortable. Your dogs will have their own room at night I work at home so I'm always around the house. Lunchtime walk nearby and a long evening off lead walk (if allowed) at an enclosed field is our routine, as my dogs have a lot of energy to burn off. Dogs have an enclosed back garden, and I have a large front garden too. Your dog will have its own room at night away from our dogs. Lots of attention and won't be left any longer than you say. I have two dogs, Wispa and Mavis, who I see all day working from home. I walk my dogs at least twice daily, lunchtime and evening, and they are seldom left. I have a car so drive out for a walk every evening in an enclosed space to throw a ball. I have always owned dogs and have experience with many breeds and sizes. My spare room will be your dog's in the evening for the stay, away from my dogs.

It was the first time we had ever left Roxy overnight. We were really worried about leaving her at all. However we were greatly impressed with the young couple who looked after her. They went above and beyond to make Roxy feel at home and cared for her exceptionally well, sending us regular pup dates on how she was. They have a great set up and large garden, and are close to a large country park for walking and adventures. We both are very fussy people but we would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a high standard of care for their dog. We have already booked with them again, as we know Roxy will be well cared for.

From our first meeting with Kirsty and Darryl (and their dog Wicket and cats), I just knew I had found a great family to take the best care of my dog. She has just had her first stay, boarding for 14 nights, and I can’t thank them all enough for their care, attention and patience with her. I was able to relax and enjoy my holiday knowing how well she was being cared for. I received regular messages and photos, updating me on how she was going on, and could see that she too was having a great holiday with them. I highly recommend Kirsty and Darryl to anyone looking for boarding in a caring home environment. Thank you so much 😊

About: My doggie died a few months back after 14 years , grown up around dogs & horses! Previous dog sitting & walking neighbourhood dogs! I have looked after dogs from puppies, to elderly dogs, it’s part of my nature and comes very naturally! I call myself the dog whisperer:) I am self employed, moved from London to Darwen. So I move my own schedule around and I find myself very bored most of the time. I feel a big gap in my life currently since my dog passed away, and would really love to get back into looking after dogs! I live in a 3 bedroom house, pretty much on my own. My partner works full time, 6 days a week. I have access to a lot of space , and a fenced garden. Easy access to beautiful countryside walks.

Louise and her partner looked after my local French Bulldog, Lilly, for a week while I was away on holiday. Lilly had never stayed away from home before, but they treated her like their own and made her feel so welcome and comfortable. In fact, Lilly didn’t even want to leave when I came to pick her up! I will definitely be using Louise and her partner again — 100%. Lilly has now made a new best friend in Coco too. Highly recommend!

About: My name is Jen, I am a farmers wife & work from home. The farm is based in the heart of the Ribble Valley with lots of good walking spots! The garden is large and secure. I have working dogs but sadly no longer a house dog. Visitors would need to be cat friendly ! My entire life has revolved around animals and still very much does. My days are spent on the farm and working with our show ponies. From 2013 I ran a very successful dog groomers called Hair & Hound which was based at Mrs Downsons for 5 years. The business grew from strength to strength with customers trusting the shop with their loved ones. Weekend in the summer are available depending on horse shows - best option is to throw me a message 😊 Being a farmer i am based at home, apart from when I am on the school run ! Any visitors would be let out at 6 am for wee’s & poo’s and generally go to bed at 10.30 pm. The garden is fenced. I am out and on the farm at 6 am. As I am based from home our animals, as you can imagine, get A LOT of attention through out the day! Dogs would not be allowed up stairs & would sleep in the kitchen.

Dolly had a wonderful time staying with Karen, her partner, and George. It's so reassuring when leaving your fur babies in such a loving home, Dolly settled in straight away. Even when i returned to collect Dolly after 2 weeks, she was so excited to see me, but she also didn't want to leave her new home from home. I hope Dolly gets to stay again soon.

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

Louis did a fantastic job with our cat Pumpkin. He was responsive throughout the process and provided daily updates that were relevant and helpful. Louis was also flexible and was happy to do an extra visit when we were worried that Pumpkin was not eating enough. Furthermore, when Pumpkin made a mess, Louis took the initiative to clean it up as well. Louis arrived on time and notified us of any delays promptly. Louis fed and played with Pumpkin and also cleaned his litter well. We also felt that Louis was very comfortable and affectionate towards Pumpkin and it seems Pumpkin also took a liking to him! We will definitely book Louis again to look after our cat!

About: I’ve been caring for others cats and dogs for a few years now but started walking and sitting over the last two years. Many in my village have trusted me to care for both their cats and dogs including household with both. I love animals and have been known to take great care of the animals in the owners absence. I’m currently a full time uni student with time to spare especially at weekends. However I have free time during the week to take your pet out for walks or toilet breaks. In owners homes I have put the pet in a crate over night and managed the areas the pet is allowed to go well. I take great care of your furry family members as well as the home. I’ve administered eye drops and medications along with food and breaks outside for your pets.

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.

DARWEN, BB3

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: When I was a child, my family rescued 2 Siberian Huskies, and I was solely responsible for their needs, including feeding, walking, training and overall caring. My love of dogs has inspired me to do in-depth research about different breeds of dogs and their behaviour for a number of years. As a kid I volunteered at a local shelter, helping to clean and walk the dogs, and when I moved to England, I helped friends and neighbours to take care and walk their dogs free of charge as it was a time that I wasn't able to own a dog. I recently had the opportunity to adopt my own puppy this year, and I have made it a priority to ensure that he is well behaved and well trained. I am currently available full time across the week Monday to Sunday for all your dog needs. I give my puppy all the attention he requires, and I will do the same for your dog too. I have a fully enclosed back garden for your dog to play in, and a friendly puppy that loves to play. We have a separate room for a dog if they need some rest or alone time, with a crate inside if you so desire us to use it.

I can accommodate all types of friendly dog into usual walks and I drive to a large enclosed field at least once daily, with a separate park walk too. Love dogs, enclosed garden, won't be left any longer than you feel comfortable. Your dogs will have their own room at night I work at home so I'm always around the house. Lunchtime walk nearby and a long evening off lead walk (if allowed) at an enclosed field is our routine, as my dogs have a lot of energy to burn off. Dogs have an enclosed back garden, and I have a large front garden too. Your dog will have its own room at night away from our dogs. Lots of attention and won't be left any longer than you say. I have two dogs, Wispa and Mavis, who I see all day working from home. I walk my dogs at least twice daily, lunchtime and evening, and they are seldom left. I have a car so drive out for a walk every evening in an enclosed space to throw a ball. I have always owned dogs and have experience with many breeds and sizes. My spare room will be your dog's in the evening for the stay, away from my dogs.

About: I have been caring for dogs at my home for over 7 years, treating each one like a member of my own family. I have always prioritized their needs, comfort, and happiness, because I believe dogs are among the purest souls on the planet and deserve the highest level of care and affection. Over the years, I have gained hands-on experience in all aspects of dog care, including feeding, grooming, exercise, medication, and emotional well-being. My dedication and love for dogs drive me to provide the best care possible, ensuring they feel safe, happy, and loved at all times. I am currently working a part-time job, which gives me plenty of free time to dedicate to pet care. I have a flexible schedule and can adjust my timings to meet the needs of the pets. I make sure pets are safe, comfortable, and well-fed. I provide fresh water, regular meals, and bathroom breaks on schedule. I take them on walks or play sessions to keep them active and healthy. I follow any instructions from the owner, such as specific diets, medications, or routines. I also ensure their bedding and living area are clean, monitor their behavior and health, and give attention based on each pet’s personality and needs.

About: Hi! We are Jess and Andy! I understand it's really difficult leaving your fur baby and entrusting them with a complete stranger, but they will be so loved and in completely safe hands. We've had the absolute privilege of looking after many different pets! 🐱 Cats: I have helped to train from kitten age, right up until their twilight years. 🐶 Dogs: we have petsat for a wide variety of dog breeds and simply loved them all. We are very experienced with dogs, having both grown up with them and later had them as an adults. 🐶🐱The dream would be to buy a field and have as many pets as possible😅😂 Until then, we give all our attention and TLC to yours☺️ 🐶🐱 We are completely comfortable with administering medication to both cats and dogs as have had to do it on numerous occasions. - For example; we pet-sat two Staffordshire bull terriers and had to give one eye-treatment 4x a day for a week. - Our family cat, Rolo, lasted until he was 17 but had numerous health issues in the end which required that extra time and care. 🐶 We have been trusted with looking after a two year old Rhodesian Ridgeback. He needed a lot of training so I attended two training sessions with the trainer per week. 🐶🐱 We are mindful that it's hard not being around your pet and make it our duty to send regular photos and messages keeping you updated on how they are. 🐶🐱 If you would like us to stay in your house to look after your pet we are aware of not only being in a new space, but a home. Andy and I are respectful of the space and like to keep things neat, tidy and sparkling clean. Thanks for taking the time to look over our profile☺️😊 Wishing you all the best, Jess and Andy I'm a wellbeing workshop facilitator and work from home. I'm completely flexible with my time, meaning I can give your pet all the love and attention it needs and deserves. Andy works 9-5 but loves coming home to pets and giving them even more love when he's back. We live in an incredibly safe neighbourhood! I've lived here all my life and everyone here is lovely. We live opposite a leafy park which we would make full use of to run and play! There are also longer walks available on our doorstep. If you didn't want them to leave our house, or leave your space, that is totally understandable. I work from home most of the time so I can come to you and provide lots of love and attention to your beloved while you're away. This is a non-smoking child-free household and we are fortunate to not have disruptive neighbours nearby. It would just be Andy and myself, or just me, and we absolutely adore animals. We don't have our own currently as we like to travel but if we did we'd feel more than comfortable raising a pet in our home.

About: I have experience working with dogs of all ages, sizes, breeds and temperaments. This includes puppy training, looking after blind/deaf dogs, group walks, bathing and administering medication. Additionally I have a degree in Animal Behaviour & Welfare and a Canine First Aid qualification. I am currently available during the daytime (7.00 - 17.30 location depending) from Monday to Friday, rain or shine. No evenings or weekends for now. Your pet will be my sole focus as I don’t have any of my own dogs (or kids!) running around the house. My cat is ok with dogs but it is easy to keep them apart if needed as she spends most of her time exploring outside. I am happy to cater to your pet’s needs, whether that’s long off lead walks up to the Haslingden Halo, or just lots of cosy cuddles on the settee. Most importantly I am Canine Emergency First Aid trained, meaning your dog would be in very safe hands.

About: PLEASE DO NOT ENQUIRE IF YOUR DOG CANNOT BE AROUND CATS AT ALL. THANK YOU. READ MY PROFILE CAREFULLY BEFORE ENQUIRING. I have been dog walking for 8 months & volunteer for doggy daycare (been there 2 years nearly). I am fully insured & can provide evidence upon request. I am looking to mostly gain experience as well as make some pooches and their owners happy. If you have anymore questions or need more information please don't hesitate to give me a message and I'll try to help in any way I can! Thank you all and looking forward to meeting you all and all the pooches too. Please note that my availability and schedule changes depending on my college timetable. Thanks. I have 4 cats of my own and a 4 year old son named raven. If your dog isn't good with children feel free to let me know & I can see if I can work around that. Weekdays I can only most likely do evenings unless summer holidays, where I will usually have availability all day. However weekends I am available all day. I like stimulating dogs mentally in all sorts of ways, from scent work games to dog treat puzzles, to walks and taking their environment in through scent & playing fetch. I also enjoy taking them places and booking in to dog parks as it gives us some off lead time & training can be involved within this for recall etc. I have a Facebook - Zephyrs Furry Friends which I upload photos on. I also have reviews in my photos from Facebook :) if you do use my services please do leave a review! I am also on PetBacker. If in college I usually upload my timetable & work from that. I’m free all weekend usually every weekend. I have a 6 year old who loves dogs & cats. When I’m off college for the summer holidays I have way more availability than I do in college but I can work my schedule out during college hours and do weekends always. My garden is secure & fenced off. I have a dog crate, dog toys, dog bowls & enrichment activities. I can provide long walks & provide working exercises to keep their minds happy. I enjoy spending time with dogs and I’m always learning new things to then apply to your pooches to mentally stimulate them. If the dog is a chewer, I need to know. If they are & they are crate trained this will not be an issue. However - if they aren’t crate trained & I witness any chewing behaviours on furniture despite mental stimulation & walks & you’re unhappy with a crate trained dog (for their own safety & so they do not chew my walls through etc) then I have to turn them away I’m afraid. Any chasing behaviours of my cats, any growling behaviours towards cat or child & any negative behaviours in general that I deem a health & safety risk to the household I have to turn your dog away I’m afraid.

I have trained all of my dogs myself since I was 10 years old, your family dog will be in the best hands. I am fully self employed so I can pick and choose when and where I work, and work from home the majority of times. I have a loving and super energetic husky who requires a lot of exercise, plenty of walks and access to a secure back garden at any time. I treat all dogs as if they’re human, they are family after all. Dogs are allowed on furniture, have free reign of the house and back garden. They can sleep, rest and play wherever they like.

About: Hello! Unlike some other sitters on Rover, i have a year of dog sitting experience and work experience in a kennels, cattery, riding school and small animal vet clinic. I have been caring for dogs ever since 2012 when i was around seven years old and have also had some experience with rabbits and birds around the age of 4 years old. During my work experience, i have learnt how to analyse basic animal behaviour well and have learnt how to follow a schedule of feeding times, medicine that need to be administered and how to meet the needs of both dogs and cats. I’ve helped with grooming and bathing at the kennels and i am patient at all times, giving space to animals when they need it. I am the type of pet sitter to give some advice to owners if i feel it may benefit the owners and the pet. For example, if i see your dog eats too quickly, i might recommend a slow feeding bowl to reduce chances of things such as GDV happening to your dog. I have helped two owners during my time as a pet sitter as i have noticed medical issues in their dogs such as signs of a urinary infection or epulis. If you do not want advice, please let me know beforehand as i do not tolerate rude behaviour. Im currently available at all times so whatever type of schedule you would like for your pet, i can work around. When a dog is in my own home and is sleeping over, i sleep nearby to make sure that they are comfortable and safe as that is my first priority. I give every dog at least one walk a day (or more if you would like) In my own home, i have an attached house which is kept clean at all times and it has a back garden with tall fences and no grass. Its a relatively big garden with lots of plants and vegetables around. I do have a dog of my own in the house who’s an eight year old Sproodle who is playful but is no threat to other dogs as she loves to greet them no matter the age. She is gentle with puppies and sleeps in her own bed in the kitchen. In my house, i live with two sisters and my mother. No matter the house im caring for your pet in, i will stick to a schedule and your rules however you prefer. I will make sure your pet is entertained and cared for well and will return home happy!

About: I love animals so much, since I could walk and talk, which led to adopting pets of my own, including cats, dogs and birds. I moved to Hong Kong for work in 2011, and volunteered for multiple rescues across Asia during my 10 year stint. This means that I'm especially good with anxious, nervous, and sick dogs. Since the pandemic, I have successfully completed over 30 housesits (platforms outside of Rover), with a 100% 5 ⭐️ star rating. I now have regular clients in London, Brighton, and Manchester. I have also done several Petsits in Europe and Asia. In terms of schedule, I work from home/coffee shops, and enjoy being out and about in nature, so pet time with me will include outdoor (parks etc.), playtime and tv/cuddle time indoors. I am friendly, caring and reliable, and your fur babies will be happy with me! As a fellow pet owner I understand the anxiety trusting a stranger can cause, so I like to send my clients photo updates once a day, probably more. Please make me aware of any camera recording devices as per the community guidelines. I will usually not accept the use of indoor recording devices during overnight sits for my personal privacy. **PET-SITTING REQUESTS** For overnight requests, please send me information about the house, sleeping arrangements, and local transport on your initial message.

About: 🐾 Hey there, pet parents! My love for furry companions has whisked me straight into the wonderful world of Rover, where every day is a tail-wagging adventure. Trust me, I know how crucial it is to find a reliable buddy for your four-legged friends. Growing up in a zoo—oops, I mean a household bursting with pets—has made me a firm believer that life without them would be like a dog without a bone! Currently, I’m the proud parent of a spirited 1-year-old German Weimaraner and a cheeky 2-year-old Miniature Dachshund. These two are not just pets; they’re the life of the paw-ty, charming every dog they meet with their friendly antics! With beautiful walking trails right outside my door, we’ll have a howling good time exploring the local area together. But wait, there’s more! I have an outdoor garden space that’s fully fenced off—perfect for letting the pups run wild while being monitored by CCTV. Safety first, right? And to top it all off, every doggy daycare experience comes with a warm bath before collection, so your furry friend will leave looking—and smelling—fantastic! So, don’t hesitate to reach out—let’s chat about how I can help you and your furry friend! We’re all eagerly waiting to meet you. **A quick note:** Please make sure your dog is up to date with vaccinations and flea/worming treatments before booking. I’m all about providing flexible, attentive care that perfectly suits your pet’s needs—no dog left behind! 🐾 I’m home full-time, offering 24/7 supervision and care—because who wouldn’t want to be surrounded by cuteness all day? Walk times are completely customizable to fit your dog's routine, so don’t be shy! Share your preferences, and I’ll make it happen. With extensive experience in dog behaviour , I’m on a mission to create a safe and fun environment for all furry guests. 1. 24/7 Supervision:I’m home full-time, providing constant supervision to ensure that every dog feels secure and comfortable throughout the day. 2. Safe Outdoor Space: I have a fully fenced outdoor garden with CCTV monitoring, allowing the pups to play and explore safely while I keep an eye on them. 3. Customisable Routine: I tailor walk times and activities to suit each dog's individual needs and preferences, ensuring they get the exercise and stimulation they require. 4. Socialisation: I facilitate playtime with my own dogs and other daycare guests, promoting healthy social interactions and helping them make new friends. 5. Hygiene and Comfort:Each doggy daycare session includes a warm bath before collection, so they leave looking and smelling great. I also maintain a clean and tidy space to ensure a healthy environment. 6. Experience in Behaviour: With extensive knowledge of dog behaviour, I can recognise and respond to each dog's unique personality, ensuring they feel happy and relaxed during their stay. 7. Communication:I keep pet parents updated on their dog's activities and well-being so they can feel confident and connected while they’re away. By combining love, attention, and safety, I strive to provide a fantastic experience for every furry friend in my care!

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 provide calm, attentive and individualised care for dogs in a quiet home environment overlooking Corporation Park in Blackburn, with easy access to larger walking areas including Witton Park and Billinge Woods. I have a background in occupational therapy studies, which has shaped the way I now approach dog care. I pay close attention to behaviour, routine, body language and individual needs rather than treating every dog the same way. Some dogs need more activity and engagement, others need a calmer and more predictable environment, and I adapt accordingly. As a child, and teenager, our family pet (a Jack Russell) gave me an early understanding of canine behaviour and communication. More recently, I have gained additional hands-on experience helping care for dogs with varying temperaments and energy levels. I enjoy walking, hiking and trail running, so active dogs are very welcome, but I also value structure and calm routines. Walks are purposeful and suited to the individual dog, and evenings are generally relaxed and settled to help dogs feel secure and comfortable away from home. At the moment I am taking time away from my studies, which means I have the flexibility and availability to dedicate proper time and attention to the dogs in my care rather than fitting them around a busy schedule. I offer home boarding, walks, and house sitting, and I aim to create an environment where dogs feel safe, understood and well looked after. For first bookings, I prefer to arrange a meet-and-greet beforehand so I can understand your dog’s routine, behaviour and needs, and make sure everyone feels comfortable and settled. At the moment I have a flexible schedule, which allows me to give dogs consistent attention, regular walks and a calm home environment throughout the day. I enjoy walking, hiking and trail running, so active dogs are very welcome, but I also adapt to dogs who prefer a slower pace and more routine-based care. I live in a quiet area overlooking Corporation Park in Blackburn, with access to larger parks and woodland walking routes nearby. I take a calm, observant and individual approach to dog care, paying close attention to behaviour, routine and comfort levels. I also arrange meet-and-greets before bookings to help make sure everyone feels comfortable and the environment is a good fit.

About: I have been surrounded by dogs my entire life. Sally was the first and a Jack Russel cross with fox terrier (we think). She was with us until the grand age of 20. During this time we also had Sally and older rescue dog. I now have Simba, who is an crazy springer Spaniel. My dog is my baby and I would treat your dog with the same care and attention. If you have specific requirements or you have any questions please feel free to message. I am currently working as part of the emergency services however I will be leaving in August for a role with a better work-life- balance. I will not show my self available if I am not able to dedicate the time for your dog. I am flexible to you and your dogs needs. I am available to look after your dog in your home and if you just need your dog walking whilst you are at work, ill or otherwise unavailble then that is where I can assist.

About: I have two very well trained and behaved dogs, Wispa and Mavis, and lifelong experience of dog ownership. I can accommodate all types of friendly dog into usual walks and I drive to a large enclosed field at least once daily, with a separate park walk too. Love dogs, enclosed garden, won't be left any longer than you feel comfortable. Your dogs will have their own room at night I work at home so I'm always around the house. Lunchtime walk nearby and a long evening off lead walk (if allowed) at an enclosed field is our routine, as my dogs have a lot of energy to burn off. Dogs have an enclosed back garden, and I have a large front garden too. Your dog will have its own room at night away from our dogs. Lots of attention and won't be left any longer than you say. I have two dogs, Wispa and Mavis, who I see all day working from home. I walk my dogs at least twice daily, lunchtime and evening, and they are seldom left. I have a car so drive out for a walk every evening in an enclosed space to throw a ball. I have always owned dogs and have experience with many breeds and sizes. My spare room will be your dog's in the evening for the stay, away from my dogs.

About: My doggie died a few months back after 14 years , grown up around dogs & horses! Previous dog sitting & walking neighbourhood dogs! I have looked after dogs from puppies, to elderly dogs, it’s part of my nature and comes very naturally! I call myself the dog whisperer:) I am self employed, moved from London to Darwen. So I move my own schedule around and I find myself very bored most of the time. I feel a big gap in my life currently since my dog passed away, and would really love to get back into looking after dogs! I live in a 3 bedroom house, pretty much on my own. My partner works full time, 6 days a week. I have access to a lot of space , and a fenced garden. Easy access to beautiful countryside walks.

About: I’ve been caring for others cats and dogs for a few years now but started walking and sitting over the last two years. Many in my village have trusted me to care for both their cats and dogs including household with both. I love animals and have been known to take great care of the animals in the owners absence. I’m currently a full time uni student with time to spare especially at weekends. However I have free time during the week to take your pet out for walks or toilet breaks. In owners homes I have put the pet in a crate over night and managed the areas the pet is allowed to go well. I take great care of your furry family members as well as the home. I’ve administered eye drops and medications along with food and breaks outside for your pets.

About: Hi! We are Jess and Andy! I understand it's really difficult leaving your fur baby and entrusting them with a complete stranger, but they will be so loved and in completely safe hands. We've had the absolute privilege of looking after many different pets! 🐱 Cats: I have helped to train from kitten age, right up until their twilight years. 🐶 Dogs: we have petsat for a wide variety of dog breeds and simply loved them all. We are very experienced with dogs, having both grown up with them and later had them as an adults. 🐶🐱The dream would be to buy a field and have as many pets as possible😅😂 Until then, we give all our attention and TLC to yours☺️ 🐶🐱 We are completely comfortable with administering medication to both cats and dogs as have had to do it on numerous occasions. - For example; we pet-sat two Staffordshire bull terriers and had to give one eye-treatment 4x a day for a week. - Our family cat, Rolo, lasted until he was 17 but had numerous health issues in the end which required that extra time and care. 🐶 We have been trusted with looking after a two year old Rhodesian Ridgeback. He needed a lot of training so I attended two training sessions with the trainer per week. 🐶🐱 We are mindful that it's hard not being around your pet and make it our duty to send regular photos and messages keeping you updated on how they are. 🐶🐱 If you would like us to stay in your house to look after your pet we are aware of not only being in a new space, but a home. Andy and I are respectful of the space and like to keep things neat, tidy and sparkling clean. Thanks for taking the time to look over our profile☺️😊 Wishing you all the best, Jess and Andy I'm a wellbeing workshop facilitator and work from home. I'm completely flexible with my time, meaning I can give your pet all the love and attention it needs and deserves. Andy works 9-5 but loves coming home to pets and giving them even more love when he's back. We live in an incredibly safe neighbourhood! I've lived here all my life and everyone here is lovely. We live opposite a leafy park which we would make full use of to run and play! There are also longer walks available on our doorstep. If you didn't want them to leave our house, or leave your space, that is totally understandable. I work from home most of the time so I can come to you and provide lots of love and attention to your beloved while you're away. This is a non-smoking child-free household and we are fortunate to not have disruptive neighbours nearby. It would just be Andy and myself, or just me, and we absolutely adore animals. We don't have our own currently as we like to travel but if we did we'd feel more than comfortable raising a pet in our home.

About: I have been caring for dogs at my home for over 7 years, treating each one like a member of my own family. I have always prioritized their needs, comfort, and happiness, because I believe dogs are among the purest souls on the planet and deserve the highest level of care and affection. Over the years, I have gained hands-on experience in all aspects of dog care, including feeding, grooming, exercise, medication, and emotional well-being. My dedication and love for dogs drive me to provide the best care possible, ensuring they feel safe, happy, and loved at all times. I am currently working a part-time job, which gives me plenty of free time to dedicate to pet care. I have a flexible schedule and can adjust my timings to meet the needs of the pets. I make sure pets are safe, comfortable, and well-fed. I provide fresh water, regular meals, and bathroom breaks on schedule. I take them on walks or play sessions to keep them active and healthy. I follow any instructions from the owner, such as specific diets, medications, or routines. I also ensure their bedding and living area are clean, monitor their behavior and health, and give attention based on each pet’s personality and needs.

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.

Lu was wonderful. She came in every day and took our anxious little dog for a walk or just played with him when he didn’t want to go out. Lu respected his fears without pushing him to do anything he was anxious of, and gave him lots of fuss and love. Will absolutely use Lu again.

Duncan was absolutely amazing with our family’s cockapoo. He offered a meet and greet session and we took our dog for a walk. Duncan was brilliant putting our dog at ease straight away with his calm manner. Duncan was very happy to fit in with our dog’s routine and was very good at keeping us regularly updated with videos and photos of his progress. We are very grateful for the individual care and attention he gave our dog. We highly recommend him to anyone looking for dog care

About: I have two very well trained and behaved dogs, Wispa and Mavis, and lifelong experience of dog ownership. I can accommodate all types of friendly dog into usual walks and I drive to a large enclosed field at least once daily, with a separate park walk too. Love dogs, enclosed garden, won't be left any longer than you feel comfortable. Your dogs will have their own room at night I work at home so I'm always around the house. Lunchtime walk nearby and a long evening off lead walk (if allowed) at an enclosed field is our routine, as my dogs have a lot of energy to burn off. Dogs have an enclosed back garden, and I have a large front garden too. Your dog will have its own room at night away from our dogs. Lots of attention and won't be left any longer than you say. I have two dogs, Wispa and Mavis, who I see all day working from home. I walk my dogs at least twice daily, lunchtime and evening, and they are seldom left. I have a car so drive out for a walk every evening in an enclosed space to throw a ball. I have always owned dogs and have experience with many breeds and sizes. My spare room will be your dog's in the evening for the stay, away from my dogs.

From our first meeting with Kirsty and Darryl (and their dog Wicket and cats), I just knew I had found a great family to take the best care of my dog. She has just had her first stay, boarding for 14 nights, and I can’t thank them all enough for their care, attention and patience with her. I was able to relax and enjoy my holiday knowing how well she was being cared for. I received regular messages and photos, updating me on how she was going on, and could see that she too was having a great holiday with them. I highly recommend Kirsty and Darryl to anyone looking for boarding in a caring home environment. Thank you so much 😊

About: My doggie died a few months back after 14 years , grown up around dogs & horses! Previous dog sitting & walking neighbourhood dogs! I have looked after dogs from puppies, to elderly dogs, it’s part of my nature and comes very naturally! I call myself the dog whisperer:) I am self employed, moved from London to Darwen. So I move my own schedule around and I find myself very bored most of the time. I feel a big gap in my life currently since my dog passed away, and would really love to get back into looking after dogs! I live in a 3 bedroom house, pretty much on my own. My partner works full time, 6 days a week. I have access to a lot of space , and a fenced garden. Easy access to beautiful countryside walks.

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

This was our first time putting our rescue dog Marley into boarding, we felt really reassured by Mark and Natalie's experience in training and taking care of dogs. We were sent daily updates and pictures of Marley and he couldn't have been more happy, and not only were they looking after Marley, they were also training him whilst he stayed with them, which is a great help to us. He thrived at Mark and Natalie's home being with the other dogs and Mark and Natalie themselves. We couldn't be more grateful to them for taking such amazing care of our baby and we will always use them in the future. I would recommend them to anyone!

About: I have grown up with dogs since I can remember. The dogs I have had throughout my life have always been medium or large breed dogs but I have looked after my friend’s dogs for them over night and these are all of different sizes. I currently have a 5 and a half year old Irish Setter who is very chilled and well socialised. He has shared his home with many dog visitors as my friends will always bring their dogs for visits, sleepovers, walks, or I will dog sit for them. I feed the dogs in separate rooms, dogs can have full roam of the house and can sleep where they are most comfortable. I will cater to the dog’s needs and want the dogs to feel as comfortable as possible. I have had my friend’s dog who had separation anxiety not want to ever go up the stairs- me and my dog slept downstairs for her stay as her safe place was the chair. She slept right through each night with us just on the settee across from her. As I work in an high school I am more suited to weekend dog sitting than weekdays - unless In the school holidays as I work in a school. I get up early and take the dogs out when it is nice and quiet to places that are safe for them to run around or explore on their lead. I also go back out in the evenings before bed. The amount and length of walks can be tailored to the dog, I love walking and so does my dog but we understand other dogs may not want as much exercise and this can be catered to as well. My garden is secure and mud free as it is artificial grass so the dogs can roam outside as much as they like whatever the weather and can get plenty of toilet breaks. They will always be watched when in the garden. My dog is known as being a King because that is how he is treated and your dog will be treated no differently when in my care, they will be my number one priority. I work full time so weekends and school holidays are more suited to our schedule. I am able to be home for 3:15pm on a Friday. I will tailor my weekend to the booking and ensure I am home all weekend so your dog will not be left alone. Please enquire about school holidays also. I have a secure garden that is spacious with a very friendly Irish Setter who will be patient with your dog but will also teach them to be calm in the house and settled.
