House Sitting in Pendle

About: Hi! We’re Minx and Lewis — your friendly neighbourhood pet-sitting duo based in Burnley. We’re a couple who basically run on caffeine, cuddles, and animal hair, and we wouldn’t have it any other way. Animals have always been a huge part of our lives, and caring for them is something we genuinely love doing every day. We offer both cat sitting and dog care, including walks, drop-ins, feeding, playtime, and plenty of fuss (for those who want it — we fully respect the “look but don’t touch” crowd too). For Minx, cats are a long-time special interest — which means extra enthusiasm, extra attention to detail, and an uncanny ability to decode even the most “mysterious” feline behaviour. Lewis is just as experienced and confident with dogs, especially when it comes to walks, routine, and keeping tails wagging safely and happily. At home, we share our lives (and most of our bed) with our own two cats: Trico, our wise five-year-old gentleman, and Kyurem, our one-year-old chaotic goblin boy. They keep us humble… and very entertained. We’ve been pet sitting for friends and family for over a decade, and professionally for the last four years. Whether it’s a shy cat who needs quiet company or an energetic dog who needs a good walk and play, we tailor our care to suit each animal’s personality and routine. We’re excited to bring our love, experience, and reliability to more pet families who want their animals cared for just as thoughtfully as we care for our own. We are both currently self employed, giving us the freedom of my own schedule! We anre available 24/7 for pet requests and care, as long as I have ample notice. Specific care requests for each home are taken into consideration, such as if there are baby gates installed to prevent animals from going into certain rooms etc. For all day visits for dogs, they never leave our sight, to ensure their utmost protection!

“Tallyn was amazing. We had a pre meeting so he could meet Mylo and see where we live. He was extremely polite and very respectful of our home. Mylo absolutely loved him. We will be using Tallyn again. I would highly recommend him to anyone needing a pet sitter.”

“Carrie was brilliant with our Boris. He did miss us, but he was settled with her, so we can't ask for more than that! We would definitely use her again. Thank you :)”

“Hayley did a great job looking after our 15 year old deaf dog who has some very particular needs. She was very responsive and we had no worries at all while we were away. We really appreciated her willingness to meet us the week before our trip.”

“Lucy is absolutely lovely and our dog Glen fully adores her. She came to meet us before the sit to make sure her and him got on and we were fully comfortable with her. She also went out of her way to find out Glen's likes and dislikes from us, and deliver them for him. When it rained on the day she was sitting for him and he wouldn't go for a walk, she made sure he got time in the house to play with his ball so he wasn't bored. She took plenty of photos of him, kept us up to date, and at the end wrote a lovely report so we knew how his day had been. I'd super recommend her to anyone!”

About: Since I’ve been born I’ve always been around animals, that being dog and cats. I grew up with a husky and had him until he was 17, and I made the decision to get a little fur baby of my own Enzo. I have trained Enzo and he is now the most perfect little boy in the world. I have experience with other puppies and have had plenty of play dates with his best friend Archie who is currently 15 weeks old! Hi im Lauren, I work from home on Wednesdays and Thursdays so I am available every week both days & usually available most weekends. I am able do dog board at your home & dog walking/sitting I unfortunately don’t have the space at my house, but I am available to come to your home. I have my own dog so I am very aware of boundaries

About: I, Lulu (Lydia), will be caring for your pets either by myself or with my partner, Eve. We have tons of experience caring for other people's pets and animals and have been consistently home and pet sitting for 4 years now! This year has proved how much we enjoy caring for animals and has made us very adaptable to different types of homes and pets. We have 14 5* reviews on other pet-sitting websites and can provide references and reviews if needed. Our pet-sitting experience has been in the UK and USA. Lulu - I grew up close to my family's farm and have had many pets. I love caring for animals, but we can't commit to having any of our own just yet as we are awaiting our green cards and plan to move to the US in a couple of years. My experience caring for animals includes feeding, walking + playing, cleaning up after them, occasionally administrating medication and, of course, loving them! Eve- I grew up with dogs and cats. I love spending time with animals, and my experience caring for them includes feeding, walking + playing, cleaning up after them, occasionally administrating medication and, of course, loving them too! Pet care fits in perfectly with our routine. I am a student studying at The Open University, so I am extremely flexible, and Eve works from home too. We have found that we always spend A LOT of time with the animals we care for and love it. Our lifestyle means we can be available any time/day and can stick to the owner's routine. Your pet’s safety and wellbeing are always our top priority. Our home is secure, with a fully enclosed yard for safe outdoor time. When we care for pets in their own homes, we stick closely to their usual routine to help them feel comfortable and settled. We’re very attentive to each pet’s individual needs, providing plenty of walks, playtime, cuddles, and companionship. We’re also happy to send regular photo and video updates, so you can feel fully at ease while you’re away - we know how much they’re missed! :)

About: I’ve had lots of pets since I was born from dogs and cats to lizards and rats. I have always loved being around animals, taking care of them and making them feel loved and comfortable :) Pet care is already a big part of my everyday life, I have 2 dogs and 2 cats of my own, so my routine naturally revolves around feeding, walking, playtime, and cuddles. I’m used to early mornings, regular exercise, and keeping animals happy, healthy, and comfortable. I’m passionate about working with animals and plan to make pet care my full time career. In my home or yours I make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved as if they were my own. I provide a secure environment, regular feeding, fresh water, daily walks, playtime, and plenty of affection. I follow the owner’s instructions closely to keep routines consistent and ensure each pet’s needs are met whether that’s special diets, medication, or extra snuggles.

About: I’ve taken care of pets since I was very young, we have always had pets in our house, cats and dogs but even hamsters, parrots, we’ve had them all, I love to be active with pets, my favourite thing to do with pets is to take them on walks, get them outside the house and let them have their leisure time, I think it’s really important. I feel pets often recognise when they can trust a person and this often happens quickly with me which is such a nice feeling, I like to create relationships with animals and to make them know I’m a friend of theirs too. I work full time but I often have time before or after work where the demand for pet sitting would be of its highest, I can be quite flexible with how I work. I make sure first of all the area is always safe for the pets, make sure they are safe, closing any gates, building higher fences to stop unwanted people/pets getting in, then it’s just on giving the pet my full attention, earning the trust of the pet, teaching them and awarding them when justified and making very clear that I am their friend.

About: I have had my own dogs personally since i was five years old. I have grown up around dogs and also looked after family and friends dogs also. I am currently working part time so i have plenty of availability and time needed to look after them. I’m also available most weekend and evenings. I have a fenced garden that has plenty of space and a sausage dog named Colin who loves the company and loves to play with other dogs.
