“It was great peace of mind leaving Pippa and Charlie with Sue given her experience of owning her own dogs previously - both dog were warmly welcomed and settled in quickly. When we collected they were both well looked after and clearly enjoyed the hospitality.”
“Would put more stars if we could ❤️ Alex and Chris looked after our pride and joy, 11 month old border collie just like we knew they would. Jota has had a great time, lots of pictures of him enjoying himself. We were immediately put at ease by a lovely couple and we did not worry once about if he would be well looked after because we knew he would. Lots of questions asked so they knew him and the family and they treated him like their own. Would highly recommend and Jota will be a frequent visitor in the future. Thank you 😊 for caring so much about him x”
“We left our beloved dog Blue for the first time ever with Walter and Angela. They were brilliant from start to finish. We felt instantly reassured that Blue was in good hands. He is an older dog with particular needs and they managed them with great care and easy. We had regular updates from them too.Plus their own dog Bonnie is a very friendly gorgeous dog with a wonderful temperament. I would highly recommend them. Thank you both!”
“Aaliyah as the perfect host once again. The photo evidence shows that Ellie has had the best time and has been looked after as if she were Aaliyah’s own dog. Couldn’t recommend her enough! Need to book another holiday for us so we can book Ellie in for hers. Thank you as always x”
“Harry and his partner looked after Lenny for nearly two weeks, and I couldn't have asked for better carers. They kept me updated throughout his stay with regular messages and photos, which gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. It was obvious from the updates that they genuinely care about animal welfare and treat every dog as if it were their own. Their home is spacious and welcoming, and it's surrounded by plenty of outdoor space for walks, which Lenny clearly enjoyed. From the photos, it was easy to see he was having a great time exploring. When I collected Lenny, he looked happy, relaxed, and in excellent health, which says everything about the level of care he received :-) I wouldn't hesitate to leave Lenny with Harry again and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy, caring dog sitters.”
“I highly recommend Jessica and Lewis who looked after our German Shepherd and Border Collie. We were sent updates including pictures and videos and were reassured throughout. Bryn and Milo had a lovely time, many thanks.”
“Wow what can I say. Angelika was so helpful from start to finish, Silva has never stayed with anyone else before and has had the best week, he's actually fuming we have now picked him up. He's been loved and looked after , walked , played with we have had regular contact and photos daily, we have all loved seeing his updates each day. Thankyou for everything we will be on touch very soon to book his next stay with you. ❤️”
“Olivia was wonderful. The pictures she took of Rowan about the house and when walking completely reassured us, and on our return Rowan looked to have had as good a break as we did. Thanks!”
“Kath and her husband put us at ease straight away when meeting our dog. So welcoming and lovely. Badger has had a wonderful few days which included plenty of playtime, walks and splashing in water. Thank you again.”
“My Storm went for a sleep over as an extended meet and greet to see if Tracy and her were a match.. I could tell instantly that Storm was comfortable. I got photos and updates.. and when Storm was dropped off she was happy.. and as soon as Tracy's back was turned Storm jumped back into her car.. although I wasnt impressed that Storm was happy to go back off with Tracy it gave me comfort that she had clearly given her the care and love that she receives at home... have already rebooked for a longer stay.. I just hope I get a better greeting off Storm after my trip. Thank you, 🐾”
“Scarlett looked after Wrigley perfectly. Sent updates and pictures of how he was doing and he settled in quickly. Would absolutely trust her to take care of him again in the future!”
“From the very start we knew Lola was going to be well looked after by Alex and Madeline. She took to them immediately and it seemed the feeling was mutual. They were super thorough in every way, including a detailed questionnaire, clarification of all requirements, gave us information and asked us all our preferences. It was clear she was in safe hands. Lola is on meds and that was handled superbly. She clearly had a great time and we were sent updates which were really cute! In all Lola had a great time and we felt completely confident she was in good hands. Will definitely be coming back! Thank you so much Alex and Madeline!”
“I was terrified of sending my rescue cat for boarding as he had never been away from his home in the 7 years he has been with me. He is an indoors-outdoors cat who has access to his cat flap at any time. Very shy with humans and friendly to other cats. And not used to be kept indoors. Vivian’s cat room is perfect, with a large bay window, shelves for the cat to climb upon, corners to hide if nervous and plenty of space to roam around. Vivian did an amazing job with my cat, being very patient to give him confidence and feel comfortable in the new surroundings and with new people. She gave him plenty of cuddles and reassurance throughout the stay. And monitored his food and drink intake as well as his litter use. Vivian also introduced him to their really sweet and cute kitten to give him a playmate. Vivian kept me updated throughout with pictures, videos and reported on his progress. I could not have dreamt of a better place and better couple to keep my cat safe, happy and comfortable during my absence. I would not hesitate to recommend Vivian’s services for boarding and will happily use again when required in future.”

I work from home 3 days per week and I am always home on a weekend. I can look after your pups on a Monday, Thursday, Friday and I can do weekend boarding.

“Michelle was absolutely incredible! I loved meeting her, and she took amazing care of my cat. I got lovely videos and pictures when Michelle visited to look after my cat, and everything was seamless, easy and done right. I highly recommend Michelle!!! :)”
“Aaliyah was great with communication on the lead up to the visits and sent us plenty of updates and pictures of our fur babies whilst we were away! Would 100% recommend her services 😊”
“Matthew was absolutely fantastic. He went above and beyond to make sure my pets were happy and cared for. I would highly recommend him to anyone. Thank you Matthew, you were truly brilliant.”
“Viky is an amazing car sitter. We booked her to stay at our house looking after our two cats whilst we were on a 3 week trip to Australia. We were really nervous as they hadn’t been left before but Viky ensured that they were loved and cared for. Came home to a very clean house (thanks Viky) and two healthy happy fur babies. Xxxx”
About: Hi, I'm Tracey, a lifelong dog and cat lover with years of hands-on experience caring for furry companions of all shapes and sizes. I offer pet sitting and walking services where your pet will receive plenty of love, cuddles, and attentive care. I live on a very quiet and safe estate called Holland House in Walton le Dale that's free from hustle and bustle ideally placed to be local for many surrounding areas spanning anywhere south of Preston... to Chorley and many places in between. Living where I do I'm spoilt for choice with places to go for walks long and short and have the added benefit of a local woods within a stone's throw from home. From experience I understand the importance of maintaining routines and giving your pet the necessary level of attention to feel happy and safe while you're away. Having adopted from rescue I understand some pets are more sensitive and like quiet spaces and as I don't have any pets of my own I can always offer a really calm environment. I hope to have reassured you that you've found a dependable, affectionate, and experienced sitter and would be honored to help so just send me a message, make an enquiry or let me know about any specific needs especially regarding elderly pets or ones that may need medicating as I'm more than happy to accommodate their needs. A bit about me... I've had the joy of raising 3 wonderful dogs and 4 cats over the years including those from rescue centres. Sadly I said goodbye to my last two cherished companions in recent years: Cookie, my sweet 12-year-old Chihuahua who passed away in April 2024, and Baxter, a lovable crossbreed rescue from the RSPCA who lived an amazing 17 years before passing in 2022. These incredible pets filled my life with joy, and while I can’t currently have pets of my own due to work commitments, I miss the companionship and joy that they bring so I'd love to provide a safe, caring, kind, and loving environment for your furry friends while you're away. I also have the pleasure of being a proud "grand pup" sitter occasionally for my two son's dogs — Winston, a playful French Bulldog, and Bailey, a sweet Shih Tzu. Caring for them has only deepened my love for looking after pets and understanding their unique personalities. Additional Note: I'm DBS‑checked (Enhanced) — as my professional background is in Education.
“Jacob was amazing, we booked a visit before we went away and the cats fell in love, made them nice and comfortable for when we went away! Prompt to reply and sent regular updates on them, which is what every pet owner wants. Would 100% book again in the future!”
About: Animals have always been a big part of my life — I grew up with two dogs, as well as hamsters and fish, so caring for pets has always felt natural to me. When visiting family in the countryside, I was the go-to person for looking after their cats, and I’ve loved it ever since. I now share my home with two very different (and very loved!) cats — Ghostie (8), who’s a laid-back cuddle expert and has needed extra care due to past medical issues, and Shadow (6), who keeps things interesting with his playful, cheeky personality. Thanks to them, I’m comfortable with everything from relaxed lap cats to energetic little troublemakers. I’ve also looked after my neighbour’s cats regularly over the years, so I understand how important it is to keep pets feeling safe, loved, and in their routine while their owners are away. Alongside pet care, I’m happy to help with the little things that give you peace of mind — bringing in post, taking bins out, and generally keeping an eye on your home while you’re away. Each visit typically lasts around an hour, giving your pets plenty of attention, playtime, and care rather than just a quick check-in. If you’re looking for someone reliable who will treat your pets and home with genuine care, feel free to get in touch — I’d love to help.
“Personally I wouldn’t choose anybody other than Atlanta to look after our cat, Along with feeding her Atlanta make a fuss of her and her gives her plenty of TLC, she sends pictures each time she visits. Thank you so much Atlanta, you have a friend for life in Pudding”
“Very happy with Sophie’s services! - she really went above and beyond looking after my cat. I’d even had some builders in that had made a bit of a mess and she tidied up for the cats safety when she really didn’t need to. Highly recommend and will be using again! 😊”
“Bryony was fantastic at looking after my fur babies. They warmed to her from the moment they met her. Bryony left the place clean and tidy and sent loads of photos and videos which was comforting. Would highly recommend! Thank you!”
“Alex has been excellent from start to finish. A pre-start appointment was arranged so that paperwork could be completed. Plus the details of where food was kept and the location of my cat’s feeding station. Alex is a genuinely warm and caring person who loves cats. He communicated with me during my vacation and sent pictures of my cat to reassure me. I would have no hesitation in recommending him, 100%”
About: I have been around animals all my life, having had dogs and cats, as well as hamsters. I look after my sister's dog when I can, she is a yellow Labrador. This also includes house-sitting at their house in London. I also sometimes look after my aunt and uncle's dogs (Labradors and a Sheep Dog) at their house in the Lake District. I have been a member of Borrow my Doggy in the past to help look after dogs or take them for walks. I use Trusted House Sitters for when I want to go further away from home and have stayed at homes with multiple animals including dogs, cats and sheep. I don’t have any pets of my own at the moment due to accommodating limitations, but I plan on getting them when I am able to. Some of the pets I have looked after recently: - Bozo: he was a gentle giant and I miss him very much, I only knew him as an older dog but he was always up for a walk and would communicate when he'd had enough. - Winnie: an energetic young lab, loves walks and playing fetch. I've looked after her both in the Cotswolds and in London. - Juniper: a loving black lab, she's so affectionate and is always climbing on my lap. Not a huge fan of the rain which doesn't help when she lives in the Lake District! But she's always the first in the sea when at the beach. - Polly: an older girl who is more of a cat to be honest, she loves spreading out in the sun or in front of the fireplace. She's not as active as she used to be so prefers being left at home for longer walks, but will have a good run around the garden. - Willow: a French Bulldog. I spent three weeks looking after her while her owners were abroad. She’s the sweetest pup and was crazy for a tennis ball. We went on many adventures and walks around the countryside. I am a mature student completing my research degree and have plenty of time to fit pets into my routine. I’m always up early and I have my own car so am able to travel, and I am happy to take dogs in my car too. I am unable to take pets in my accommodation so am not able to host. However for owner’s homes I am always respectful of property, I clean up after myself and bring minimal belongings. I prefer clear instructions/guidance on what each pet needs and will always follow these.
About: I have had cats since I was little. When I had children I introduced them to cats too by adopting a kitten, and now I have 2 adult daughters with their own cats, so I definitely passed on my love of them. I have adopted senior cats. Currently my latest adoption is 10 and a half years old and likes to be the boss of my 3 other cats, but I am gradually getting her used to socialising with them in a more friendly way. It's an ongoing process! I know cats are unpredictable, can scratch you one minute then want to climb on your lap the next, but I like that they have little independent personalities. When a cat loves you, you know you have been chosen. I am used to getting cats to take medication and treating things like eye infections for them, so I would be happy to look after a cat needing medical care. I also clean and change litter, mop up catsick or hairballs, and hoover up stray fur on the furniture!
About: As a genuine and friendly cat lover with 14 years of hands-on experience, I offer a level of care that comes from a deep, lifelong bond with my own companions, guiding them through every stage of life from playful kittenhood to their gentle senior years. This extensive experience has equipped me with the specialised skills needed to provide compassionate care for cats of all ages, including the extra patience required for kittens and the attentive, specialised monitoring often needed for senior pets. My home has become a trusted sanctuary for local neighbourhood cats who visit daily, proving my natural ability to earn the trust of even the most hesitant feline friends. Whether your cat needs gentle play, consistent routine, or thoughtful senior care, I treat every guest with the same love and devotion I have poured into my own cats for over a decade.

“Scarlett and her partner were absolutely amazing looking after Sasha. They were really flexible with both drop off and pick up and their communication was great throughout, with regular pupdates 🐶 They kept her active, engaged, and really took the time to understand her individual needs. I could tell she was very happy and well looked after! Thank you 🐾”
“Harry and his family were very attentive and made our little angel feel at home instantly. Ease of drop off and collection. It is clear that Harry loves dogs, they love him, as we came back to a very happy 4 paws. Would definitely recommend!”

Im retired and have quite a bit of spare time on my hands. I love having a chat with a dog while walking, its wonderful. My own cats are indoors only as I prefer the safety of this.

“Lucca had a lovely day with Michelle, it was the first time we have left her with anyone Michelle sent photos and Lucca looked very relaxed, she had cuddles and walks, and came home very happy.”
“I cannot recommend Aaliyah enough, she has put me at ease as I was so nervous about finding a day care for my 7month old vizsla. Our girl is very soft and can be anxious around dogs so a 1-1 day care was the better option for us. Aaliyah and her partner both came for a meet and greet prior to me booking Gabi in with them which instantly put me at ease, Gabi loved them from the moment she met them. Aaliyah and her partner have taken such great care of Gabi whilst me and my partner have been at work and the updates and pictures have put me at ease. We are really greatful for her taking such good care of Gabi and treating her like the princess she is, Gabi will definitely be back”
About: Home-from-home dog care in Preston with plenty of company, individual attention and your dog’s normal routine kept familiar. I work from home, so dogs are rarely left alone, with walks, feeding, play and rest all tailored around what they’re used to. I work a rotating shift pattern which gives me plenty of free time and several full days off at a time. I can plan my availability well in advance and fit walks, feeding, drop-in visits and pet sitting around your pet’s normal routine. I’m happy to follow established feeding, walking and medication schedules and will always discuss your pet’s routine with you beforehand. Your pet’s safety and comfort come first. I follow the owner’s instructions carefully, keep doors and gates secure, use leads as requested and pay attention to anything that could cause a problem during walks or visits. When caring for a pet in their own home, I treat the property respectfully, keep everything secure and leave it as I found it. I’ll also keep you updated so you know how your pet is getting on.
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!
“Thank you Matthew and Georgia! You absolutely saved us yesterday!! We had someone booked who then didn’t answered the door, I messaged Matthew and within minutes he answered, and agreed to care for Otis. They have cared for Otis before and he again, had the best time. Thank you both - would definitely have you look after our little boy again.”
“My dog was very happy and well looked after with Karen who treated her as her own. She sent me a video of Cleo and she had toys and I could tell she had a great time when I went to pick her up. I will definitely be booking her again x”
“Laura is Professional, friendly, and reliable. She and her family took great care of my puppy. I really appreciated the updates and photos. Will definitely book again! It’s such a relief to find a local sitter you can trust.”
About: I am a working from home dog mum to my Italian greyhound Cleo, with my schedule I have plenty of time in the day to take out your dog for lovely long walks and play time.

Experienced owning small dog breeds and happy to look after your lively pup or older souls 🐶💜 I only board 1 dog at a time so they will have plenty of my care and attention during their stay with me 🐾 I work from home and have split days so I am available for a few hours every day to take your dog out with us on lovely walks and play dates. I like to take my own dog to open places away from cars and busy roads so she can enjoy a run but happy to also do lead walks if that is better suited to your pup. I am also available on weekends. I have a secured fenced and walled garden for your dog to enjoy ☺️ Your dog is free to sit and snooze on my sofa as they please or to have their own space if preferred.
“Using rover for the first time due to unexpected changes. I was abit skeptical as Theo is only a pup and we were both going into the unknown but he was well looked after. Melissa sent pictures throughout the day and kept me informed. I would definitely recommend. Thanks again”
About: Hello! My name is Inna. I recently moved to the UK and would love to spend more time with dogs again. I’ve had several dogs in the past — two wonderful Rottweilers, a playful Pug, and a sweet French Bulldog. They were all part of my life and my heart. At the moment, I don’t have my own dog, but I really miss the daily joy and energy they bring. That’s why I’m here on Rover — to walk, play, and care for your furry friends as if they were my own. I live in a quiet, comfortable home with a safe garden, perfect for dogs to relax and feel secure. I enjoy taking dogs on calm walks, giving them attention, cuddles, and playtime. I’m reliable, calm, and responsible — and I understand how important it is to know your pet is in good hands. Whether your dog needs a short walk, a friendly daytime companion, or a warm home for the night — I’ll be happy to help! 🐶💕 Pet care fits naturally into my daily life. I currently have a flexible schedule and spend most of my time at home. I'm available for walks and drop-in visits in the mornings, afternoons, and early evenings. I offer flexible pet care depending on your needs: – I can visit your home to feed, check on, or spend time with your pet. – I'm happy to take dogs out for walks in parks or quiet streets. – I can also host small or calm dogs in my home if you're away on holiday.
About: Dogs have always been a big part of my life. Growing up with two wonderful Labrador Retrievers gave me years of hands-on experience and a real appreciation for the care, exercise, and companionship dogs need. I’ve also spent time around my grandmother’s Border Collies and helped a friend with Rover dog sitting. With a large, secure garden and beautiful riverside walks right on our doorstep, your dog will have plenty of space to play, explore, and feel at home. After recently returning from a seven-month trip around South America, I have a flexible schedule while I search for my next career opportunity. This means I can dedicate plenty of time, attention, and care to your pet. Since losing our family Labrador, I’ve really missed having a dog around, so I genuinely enjoy every opportunity to get out for walks, play, and spend quality time with dogs of all ages and personalities. Your pet’s safety, happiness, and routine will always be my top priority. I live in a safe, welcoming home with a large, secure garden and beautiful riverside walks right on our doorstep, giving dogs plenty of space to exercise and explore. I’ll always follow your instructions closely, keep to your pet’s usual routine, and provide regular photo updates so you can relax knowing they’re in safe and caring hands.

I spent three weeks looking after her while her owners were abroad. She’s the sweetest pup and was crazy for a tennis ball. We went on many adventures and walks around the countryside. I am a mature student completing my research degree and have plenty of time to fit pets into my routine. I’m always up early and I have my own car so am able to travel, and I am happy to take dogs in my car too. I am unable to take pets in my accommodation so am not able to host. However for owner’s homes I am always respectful of property, I clean up after myself and bring minimal belongings. I prefer clear instructions/guidance on what each pet needs and will always follow these.
“Aaliyah has started to walk my boy this week and has been great! Buddy has taken to her really well and looks very happy to be out walking with her 🐶 Aaliyah keeps me updated on their walks each day and always uploads the best pictures 🥰 thanks so much again Aaliyah! You’re making our lives that bit easier whilst working full time 💙”
About: We’re a caring and reliable couple who have both grown up with dogs and cats our entire lives. Looking after animals has always been a natural part of our daily routine, from feeding and walking to playtime and giving them plenty of attention and affection. We live in a quiet town in a spacious 3-bedroom home, providing a calm and comfortable environment for pets to relax in. We understand that every pet has their own personality and needs, and we always take the time to make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for. Whether it’s energetic walks, keeping up with routines, or simply giving extra cuddles, we treat every pet as if they were our own. You can count on us to provide a loving, safe, and attentive experience while you're away.
“Simone was absolutely wonderful with Leo today. She is incredibly patient, caring, and kind, and it is clear how much she genuinely loves working with dogs. Leo adores her and is always happy to see her, which gives us great confidence that he is in excellent hands. She does a fantastic job with his walks, ensuring he gets both exercise and attention while making the experience enjoyable for him. We are very grateful for her reliability, kindness, and dedication. We highly recommend Simone to anyone who wants their dog to be in the trusted hands of a genuinely kind, caring, and dependable person.”
“Matt took excellent care of my retriever. Came over for a meet greet and my boy instantly fell in love! Fantastic communication throughout with lots of updates as well as lots of questions to get to know exactly how to care for Spencer.”
“I am so glad to have found Sophie! She is polite, friendly and adores my dog, Bailey. I get regular updates and photographs whilst she is with her and she makes me feel completely at ease, as I know Bailey will be safe and looked after. Bailey loves her, so will be booking every week! Thank you ❤️”
About: I have had cats since I was little, adopting them from friends, the RSPCA or relatives. I have also owned rabbits, and dogs, in the past as an adult. My dog experience includes an excitable Border Collie, a happy-go-lucky mixed breed and a fun-loving German Shepherd. I do miss dog walks and dog cuddles, but currently one of my adopted senior cats isn't keen on dogs so I am currently a dog free house! I have looked after pets since I was about 5 or 6 so have nearly 50 years experience with animals.I work from home so if you have wifi and need a sitter in your home, I can be in most of the day with your pet. I love walking dogs on or off lead and I am happy to go with the personality of your pet, whether that's a cat that likes their own space, or a dog who wants cuddles and long outdoor walks. As for my cats, they have my Mum to look after them when I am away, so I can do overnight or longer stays. I work in education, have a car, flexibility on dates/times and I will look after your pet as if they are my own, sending lots of photos and updates. I work Monday-Friday in term-time, and work from home, with occasional meetings outside my home, depending on schedule. I usually get up, feed my cats, have breakfast, start work at 8 and if I'm in a Teams meeting online, try to keep my cats from coming into shot or stepping all over my keyboard! Sometimes I might need to do an external visit or meeting, but if so then I am back home within 1-2hrs. At tea time the cats get fed again. At the weekends my cats have to wait a little longer for breakfast if I have a lie-in. At home I have a fenced-in garden, a cat flap and litter trays. I also have a small park 5 mins walk away where I used to walk my dogs, and a larger one 10 mins drive away. I live in a very quiet cul de sac.
About: I have had pets most of my life and enjoy the time with them. I'm retired so have the time to spoil your pet while you enjoy knowing they are well looked after. Im retired and have quite a bit of spare time on my hands. I love having a chat with a dog while walking, its wonderful. My own cats are indoors only as I prefer the safety of this. I cannot have pets boarding at my home due to my own fur babies x
About: Hi, I am an experienced dog walker with years of caring for and walking dogs. I currently have a number of regular dogs that I take out weekly and my dogs come in all shapes and sizes and have their own personalities and needs. I am punctual, reliable, flexible, this may be because prior to dog walking I was a police officer for over 20 years. I am currently available for new customers and walks around the Preston area. I offer 1 to 1 or sometimes 2 to 1 walks, I prefer this as I believe that my dog can then have my full attention and it also allows me to interact fully with my dog. You will never see me getting tangled up in dog leads with loads of dogs trying to walk them. I also do not use crates when transporting my dogs. Feel free to contact me to ask any questions or to ask for references from my happy customers! Dog care is my passion and I do this full time and see my job as a privilege caring for dogs of all characters and lucky to know a number of walks and beautiful spots around local areas. I don't really see this as a job, it's so much fun! I have a number of longstanding customers who are delighted with my service. I tailor my individual approach to each customer as no 2 customers nor no 2 dogs are the same.
About: I have had a dog most of my life and love spending time with all sorts of dogs. I have lots of patience and I am calm in stressful situations Currently I only work 2 and a half days a week so have plenty of time to look after your fury friends! I am also free on the weekends At my home I care for my dog by having a fenced in garden but with plenty of space for her to run around and have fun
About: Home-from-home dog care in Preston with plenty of company, individual attention and your dog’s normal routine kept familiar. I work from home, so dogs are rarely left alone, with walks, feeding, play and rest all tailored around what they’re used to. I work a rotating shift pattern which gives me plenty of free time and several full days off at a time. I can plan my availability well in advance and fit walks, feeding, drop-in visits and pet sitting around your pet’s normal routine. I’m happy to follow established feeding, walking and medication schedules and will always discuss your pet’s routine with you beforehand. Your pet’s safety and comfort come first. I follow the owner’s instructions carefully, keep doors and gates secure, use leads as requested and pay attention to anything that could cause a problem during walks or visits. When caring for a pet in their own home, I treat the property respectfully, keep everything secure and leave it as I found it. I’ll also keep you updated so you know how your pet is getting on.
About: I have owned dogs for over 10 years and have experience with most sizes! My family at home have a Beauceron x Rottweiler so I am used to large, strong dogs. We also used to have a whippet, and both dogs were rescues so I also have experience with dogs with little to no recall and who love to try and slip their lead LOL! Our beauceron x is now over 15 so I have experience with older dogs and I understand their needs. I currently have a little Peke who lives with me. She is spayed and very unbothered by other dogs as she comes from a farm so hopefully our pets will make great friends! I am a laidback but firm pet owner. I have a little experience training my dogs so if you need any training worked on/ reinforced during your pets stay with me please let me know and I can work with you! I currently work Mon-Friday 9-5, so I am mostly available on weekends. When looking after your pet I will not have any plans so I can ensure their happiness and safety. I live in a top floor flat so if your pet is staying with me they must be happy with stairs or being carried. I live next to a large green space so they can have a nice walk. I will aim to bring your pet out every 2-4 hours depending on their energy levels/ toilet needs. Overnight the last toilet break will be around 9pm and the first morning walk is at 7.30am. This is flexible so just let me know of any specific requirements!

About: I have had my own dog for over 17 years so i understand what it’s like to take care of a dog. I am such a caring person, who loves walking and miss walking a dog. It would bring me so much joy again. I currently work a full time job, Monday-Thursday, when I finish work of an everning. I love to be able to walk dogs and on my days off also as this. I will always make sure that I am consistent when being around the dogs. At the moment I will not be offering over night stays at my home due to having no garden which is not ideal for a dog to be staying.

“It was great peace of mind leaving Pippa and Charlie with Sue given her experience of owning her own dogs previously - both dog were warmly welcomed and settled in quickly. When we collected they were both well looked after and clearly enjoyed the hospitality.”
“Aaliyah as the perfect host once again. The photo evidence shows that Ellie has had the best time and has been looked after as if she were Aaliyah’s own dog. Couldn’t recommend her enough! Need to book another holiday for us so we can book Ellie in for hers. Thank you as always x”
“I highly recommend Jessica and Lewis who looked after our German Shepherd and Border Collie. We were sent updates including pictures and videos and were reassured throughout. Bryn and Milo had a lovely time, many thanks.”
“Wow what can I say. Angelika was so helpful from start to finish, Silva has never stayed with anyone else before and has had the best week, he's actually fuming we have now picked him up. He's been loved and looked after , walked , played with we have had regular contact and photos daily, we have all loved seeing his updates each day. Thankyou for everything we will be on touch very soon to book his next stay with you. ❤️”
“Olivia was wonderful. The pictures she took of Rowan about the house and when walking completely reassured us, and on our return Rowan looked to have had as good a break as we did. Thanks!”
“My Storm went for a sleep over as an extended meet and greet to see if Tracy and her were a match.. I could tell instantly that Storm was comfortable. I got photos and updates.. and when Storm was dropped off she was happy.. and as soon as Tracy's back was turned Storm jumped back into her car.. although I wasnt impressed that Storm was happy to go back off with Tracy it gave me comfort that she had clearly given her the care and love that she receives at home... have already rebooked for a longer stay.. I just hope I get a better greeting off Storm after my trip. Thank you, 🐾”
“Scarlett looked after Wrigley perfectly. Sent updates and pictures of how he was doing and he settled in quickly. Would absolutely trust her to take care of him again in the future!”
“From the very start we knew Lola was going to be well looked after by Alex and Madeline. She took to them immediately and it seemed the feeling was mutual. They were super thorough in every way, including a detailed questionnaire, clarification of all requirements, gave us information and asked us all our preferences. It was clear she was in safe hands. Lola is on meds and that was handled superbly. She clearly had a great time and we were sent updates which were really cute! In all Lola had a great time and we felt completely confident she was in good hands. Will definitely be coming back! Thank you so much Alex and Madeline!”
“Daniel was wonderful from start to finish. We met pre booking & he took notes about my dog & her needs. He took her home for a few minutes so that I could see if she was happy. She clearly loved him! Dan sent pics & videos while we're away, communicated clearly throughout the process & updated me about her stay when we returned. Would thoroughly recommend! Thanks Dan, you were fantastic 😃👌”
“Laura and her family took a good care of Bagel for 6 days. Bagel really loves them as always. Laura updated me with photos and videos every day. I will no doubt trust and choose Laura again.”
“I was reluctant to leave my dog Ralph with a stranger at first. He is very much a loved member of the family. We was stuck as our daughter couldn't have him so I thought I'd give Rover a try, where we found Duncan (I didn't want him in the kennels). So glad I did. Ralph has had his very own holiday for a week! Duncan gave him so much love and attention, the daily updates as requested made us smile. You can tell he is an animal lover and takes his job very seriously. I hope in future Duncan has availability as he will be my first choice. 10/10 lovely guy”
“Mark & Natalie were excellent hosts. It was the first time we’ve left our puppy and after arriving 15minutes early to allow her to settle in, I was fully reassured that she was in safe hands. Mark & Natalie were brill at sending us pupdates too throughout our stay, which was really comforting! Will definitely be booking Piper in here again 😊”
“Amy was very caring in looking after Meg, my West Highland Terrier. I was a little apprehensive as to how Meg would cope staying with someone unfamiliar but I need not have worried. Amy kept me updated daily with messages and photo’s of how she was settling in and Meg seemed to get on very well with Amy’s dog.”

“Laura and her husband Simon were nothing short of amazing! They couldn’t do enough and were very helpful and accommodating. They were welcoming and warm and have a lovely home. Daisy had the best time with them and Laura kept in touch throughout the day with lots of photo’s including Daisy enjoying a nice walk! Thank you both so much! (I actually think Daisy misses you both a little).. I’d definitely book again!”
“We couldn't be happier with the care Riley received while we were away camping for a couple of nights. We had regular updates and photos throughout, which gave us real peace of mind, and it was clear he was happy, relaxed and being well looked after. What really stood out was how thoughtful they were during the hot weather, making sure he was walked at the right times so he stayed safe and comfortable. They genuinely went above and beyond. They were friendly, caring and professional from start to finish, and we wouldn't hesitate to use them again. If you're looking for someone you can trust to look after your dog as if it were their own, I'd highly recommend them.”
