House Sitting in Rossendale

“We had never left Tilly with anyone who was not family before and had a limited period to find a siiter (7 days) but the first time we met Jennifer we were immediately reassured. Whilst away we were updated daily via photos and videos which showed a happy contented dog- in fact Tilly looked more contented with Jennifer than with us!!! We came back to a clean and tidy house but more importantly a perfectly healthy and happy dog. We would not hesitate in using Jennifer again- in fact we are already planning trips away working around Jennifer and would highly recommend her.”

“Ada was absolutely fab! She came to house sit my dog whilst I was at work, and it went completely smoothly. I was really nervous about leaving my dog, but she was really reassuring, sent me lots of updates throughout the day and made sure my dog was happy and relaxed. I’m really pleased with how it went and have booked again with Ada! Yay my dog has a new friend!”

About: Looking for a loving, safe, and friendly home-from-home for your dog? You’ve come to the right place! I have always loved dogs and have a particular soft spot for French Bulldogs. Having owned and cared for Frenchies, I understand their unique personalities, needs, and all the little quirks that make them so special. Whether your dog loves cuddles on the sofa, playtime in the garden, or leisurely walks, I will make sure they feel happy, comfortable, and part of the family during their stay. Your dog’s safety and wellbeing are my top priorities. I provide plenty of attention, affection, exercise, and enrichment tailored to each dog’s individual needs. I understand that every dog is different, and I am happy to adapt routines to help them feel settled and relaxed. I live in a secure, dog-friendly home with access to lovely local walks and green spaces. Dogs are treated as family members here and will enjoy plenty of company, cuddles, and care throughout their stay. I will also keep you updated with regular photos and messages so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pet is happy and well looked after. I am experienced with dogs of different ages and temperaments, including puppies and older dogs who may require a little extra care and patience. Whether it’s a weekend stay, day care, or longer booking, I aim to provide a positive and stress-free experience for both you and your dog. Information I’d Love to Know About Your Dog Please let me know about: * Their usual routine * Any dietary requirements or allergies * Medications they may need * Favourite toys, treats, and activities * Any behavioural quirks or anxieties * How they are around other dogs and people The more I know, the better I can make their stay feel just like home. 🐾 I look forward to meeting you and your furry friend! 🐾 I currently work part-time, with some days spent working from home, which gives me plenty of flexibility to provide attentive and reliable pet care. This means your pet will receive lots of company, supervision, and attention throughout the day. I am available for pet sitting, drop-in visits, and walks during evenings, weekends, and selected weekdays. I understand how important routine is for pets, so I always do my best to fit around their usual schedule and ensure they feel comfortable, settled, and well cared for while in my care. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I have a secure, fully enclosed garden where dogs can safely enjoy outdoor time and play. While I don’t currently have pets of my own at home, I have extensive experience caring for French Bulldogs through family members and have also looked after cats with a range of personalities and needs. With some days spent working from home, I can provide plenty of companionship and supervision. I understand that every pet is unique, so I take the time to learn their routine, preferences, and any special requirements. Whether it’s a playful Frenchie, an energetic pup, or an independent cat, your pet will be treated as part of the family and cared for with love, patience, and attention. I’m also happy to provide regular photo and video updates so you can have complete peace of mind while you’re away. 🐾

About: I have looked after dogs since I was 13 years old; walking, boarding and caring for. These were through my neighbours, friends and other companies. I thoroughly enjoy showing the dogs love and attention where their owners can’t and help the time pass better for them :) I am working 7 month contracts away with a period in between for rest so I have lots of free time out of my contract. There are many lovely parks around to take your fur babies and give them all the energy release they need. My garden is also fully enclosed with no other animals in the house to startle them.

About: About Me: I've had the privilege of caring for my own Border Collie since he was a puppy, starting when I was just 12 years old. Now at 23, my love for animals, especially dogs, has only grown. Over the years, I've had the opportunity to walk friends' dogs and care for many others around the world. Some of my most memorable experiences include looking after a 1-year-old Lab and his senior companion on a retreat in Costa Rica, as well as feeding stray dogs and puppies in Bali and Thailand. Though I am still in the early stages of professionally offering dog walking and day boarding services, my passion, hands-on experience, and empathy for animals guide me in providing the best care for your dog. I’m eager to continue learning and improving in my services, and I’m committed to giving each dog the attention and care they deserve. Services Offered: Dog Walking Day Boarding (at your home) House Sitting (at your home) While I currently can’t offer day boarding in my own home due to living at home with another dog, I’m more than happy to offer day boarding in the comfort of your home. I will also provide my weekly availability in the schedule section to ensure flexibility. Feel free to reach out if you’d like to discuss how I can assist you and your dog. I look forward to working with you! Please get in contact preferably a week in advance and then I can book days off however still get in contact if it’s a last minute slot as often times I can accommodate. I am currently available for dog walking, boarding and day care services from Monday - Thursday usually. Please feel free to reach out if these days also work for you, and I'll be happy to assist you with your dog care needs! I can’t currently offer day boarding in my own home as I am living in a staff block but I can offer day boarding, walking and day care in your own home :)

“Robin was great looking after our sheltie. We were away for 2 day and she has sent us photos/ videos of our pup which seemed very comfortable and playful. Thank you very much Robin!”

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!

About: I’m a firefighter with a calm, safety-first approach and real, hands-on dog experience as the owner of a friendly 1-year-old Golden Retriever. I’m used to handling energetic, excitable dogs and making sure walks are fun, structured, and safe. My fire service background means I’m reliable, punctual, and comfortable staying calm in unexpected situations. I treat every dog as if they were my own and always prioritise their wellbeing. I’m happy to walk dogs solo or with my own well-socialised Golden (with a meet & greet first to ensure compatibility). I focus on positive handling, good lead manners, and making sure dogs get both physical exercise and mental stimulation on every walk. I work in the fire service on a 4-on / 4-off schedule. This means I am fully available on my off days, and I plan all dog walks and visits around those days. On my workdays, I am unavailable, but during my off days I can offer morning, lunchtime, and early evening walks. I am happy to walk dogs solo or in small, compatible groups with my own friendly Golden Retriever (after a meet & greet). I always prioritise safety, structured exercise, and lots of fun. Because of my rotating schedule, I can provide reliable, predictable bookings for all off days and can offer recurring weekly slots that fit your dog’s routine. I treat every dog as part of my family and always prioritise their safety, comfort, and happiness. During walks, I ensure dogs get appropriate exercise, mental stimulation, and socialisation (solo or in small, compatible groups with my own friendly Golden Retriever after a meet & greet). I follow each owner’s instructions carefully regarding feeding, medications, and any special needs. I carry water, waste bags, and a first aid kit, and I am trained to remain calm in unexpected situations thanks to my background in the fire service. If caring for a pet in their home (drop-ins), I provide companionship, playtime, feeding, and potty breaks while keeping the home secure and tidy. I also send updates and photos so owners know their pets are happy and safe.

“Amy and Isaac are amazing! They sent me pictures, videos and updates of how Mayo was getting on . From these updates I could see that Mayo was in safe and loving hands! She has obviously had a fabulous time ...excellent walks and lots of cuddles and love. Thank you for looking after her so caringly. Highly recommend and wouldn't hesitate to use Amy and Isaac again.”

About: Since starting pet sitting in April'19, I have now completed over 157 weeks of care, from the -30'C Canadian winters to the near 50'C summer in Dubai, remote Caribbean island to the hustle of capital city. Dogs & cats are equally loved, from Mini Dachshund to Bernese Mountain dogs, sleepy Pug to energetic Collie pups. So many happy memories and stories to tell. I feel honored and proud of my 5* feedback & references which are all far more important than anything I could write in my profile, and I have completed all verification available to me on this forum. Please help me to help you & your furry friends whilst you are away. Get in touch and we can arrange a call, skype, What'sApp or Zoom to make sure we would be a perfect fit. Communication is key. During my career as a Quality Manager, I always operated with the upmost professionalism, with integrity and in an open & honest way, and endeavored to instill these values to all of my team. Your house sit would be no different. I have been used to global pet sits of 1 to 2 months at a time, but equally, as I type, I'm sharing the sofa with a new furry pal in Suffolk for the week. It is unlikely that I would take any offers below 7 days. I am looking for pet sits during vacation from work. As such, my schedule would be adaptable to best match that of your beloved pet. I'm happy to explore the local woods & surroundings for up to 3hrs, dependent on the needs of your dog, and would keep to all of their normal scheduled meal / rest times. I like to pet sit to be with the pets, it is that simple. I could fly away and lay on the beach for a week or so, or maybe take myself away to the nearest ski resort, but that is nowhere near enjoyable as plotting a route to explore the woods using Ordinance Survey Apps with a new pal by my side, or playing fetch, tug or grooming. And I don't know why, but a nice pint in a quintessential British pub always tastes better with a pal at your heels.

About: ave worked with animals all my life. The last 5 years has been running livery yards. But I have taken myself back to what I love and thats dogs. From a very young age I have been brought up around police and working dogs aswell as family pets. When I turned 22, I when im to business with my mum. We started a day care, holiday boarding and walking business. After 7 years my mum moved to Portugal. And I when to the horse world (always been in it). I have cared and looked after my own dogs and worked for someone else who is still in the business and she's more than welcome to give me a reference and also referrals I always keep your pets routine, so you feel you can relax your break away. Its not just your holiday is also your pets holidays. I work around your pets. All animals that in my care, are looked after to the highest of standards. I always keep to your pets routine so they dont get upset well your away.

“Hannah is absolutely wonderful. She looked after two of my dogs for 12 days at my house whilst I was on holiday and they had the best time. She came for a couple of walks beforehand to get to know them as they are a little particular about their human company and she won them over straight away. I have never felt more relaxed being away from them knowing they were being taken care of in their own home as well as I could do it myself. Hannah stuck to their routine, fed them their raw diet and all their supplements, provided enrichment activities, exercised them, and continued with their crate training as asked. She left the house spotlessly clean for me to return to, even washing all linens and towels. I think my dogs were more upset at her leaving than they were excited to see me return! I highly highly recommend booking Hannah for walks and holidays and everything in between, she's an excellent dog sitter and I will be booking with her again. Thank you so much Hannah, you're an absolute star.”

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 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.

About: With over six years of hands-on experience working on a petting farm from the age of 14 to 20, I’ve cared for a wide range of animals — from livestock to a variety of dog breeds. Growing up in a dog-loving home, especially with high-energy breeds like collies, has given me a deep understanding of canine behaviour, needs, and personalities. Whether it’s providing calm companionship or active playtime, I’m confident handling dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I work full time as a teacher but I am free most weekends and evenings! This also means I’m off during school holidays all day so can cater for all pet needs in that time! I have a fenced yard with a border collie. Our home is dog and pet friendly! We live close to good walks for all the doggy walking needs!

About: I am currently studying at university in my final year, however i would love to help anyone struggling with dog care. I am available pretty much everyday! I love looking after my dogs called Rocky and Mia so I would love to help out anyone struggling with theirs who maybe have to work and need some help! I am an early riser and walk many miles daily. I love looking after any type of dogs and take good care of them as if they were my own ! I have a crate for my dog at home and look after my dogs well they are loved 🥰. I love walking so they would be on lots of walkies! My dogs would not be with me when i am looking after yours!
