“My Simba was very happy with Mohammad and Aqeela. He was very well looked after. Mohammad took full details of what Simba likes and dislikes,his playing,what he eats etc... They took full attention of Simba needs and they did deliver. They sent me pictures and videos without me requesting (which the previous place Simba stayed at didn't send any without me asking for) so I really was happy with this service because it put my mind at ease knowing and seeing his happy with them. He was very clean and his things that I sent with him was very kept very well to when I picked him up. Will definitely be leaving my Simba with Mohammad and Aqeela next time. Thank you both (very kind and nice people) 😊”

About: I've been around cats my whole life and currently share my home with three friendly felines. I understand their unique personalities and needs, from playful kittens to more independent older cats. Alongside my experience with cats, I've also cared for fish and guinea pigs, so I’m comfortable looking after a variety of small pets. Whether your pet needs company, feeding, or just a cosy lap to curl up on, I’ll make sure they feel safe and loved while you're away! I currently work remotely from home, which gives me some flexibility with my schedule. I can visit your pet in the mornings before work, after work, and—if needed—around noon to ensure they’re happy and well cared for. Please note that midday visits are only available in the Lostock Hall area. I offer pet sitting services where I visit your home, ensuring your beloved pet can stay in their familiar environment. Along with feeding and cleaning up after them, I’ll provide plenty of cuddles and playtime if needed. I’m also happy to water plants, take out the rubbish bins, and open or close blinds and curtains to give your home a lived-in appearance for added security
About: Deborah & Poppy’s doggy daycare/boarding Both myself and my daughter, with who I share the responsibility of the dogs we look after, love caring for all animals. I have lived with dogs since I was born, and have raised my children (who are all grown up now) in the same way. We love dog walkies, and have a wonderful large back garden to play fetch in too. My daughter studies from home, and I now have plenty of spare time to spend with my favourite animals (and spoil them!). We sadly lost our own dog to cancer earlier this year. Towards the end she had lots of special medical requirements including nappy wearing, medications, and help getting around the house. We now want to care for dogs in our own time, and don’t want to go through loosing another. I am currently only working when I feel like working so I have plenty of time on my hands to care and look after dogs of all breeds and give them plenty of love . I have a large fenced garden for them to play ,and gates with locks on so they can’t escape , cameras in the front and back of the house and were I live is a very safe village in the countryside .
About: I had a big handful staffy for years so I’ve experience in looking after crazy dogs. I recently lost him and miss having a 4 legged buddy for weekend walks I work full time but weekends my time would be fully dedicated to pet care as it was with my boy that I had for 13 years Any dog can treat my home like theirs, I have a safe closed off garden and they can go on beds and sofas. Happy to walk them on lead or take them somewhere to go off lead.
“Fantastic care of our dogs from Amy..... highly recommend her!x”
About: I’ve looked after animals my entire life! My love for animals lead me to do a level 3 Animal management course in college! I then went onto study animal behaviour and welfare in University. While studying, I worked at a doggy day care. I cared for many dogs at the day care, including a wide range of breeds, ages and sizes. Doing this really give me an understand of the care needed at their different stages of life. After university, I then completed a dog grooming course and started working in a dog grooming salon. This gave me the opportunity to work 1-1 with each dog. Though this, I experienced many different behaviours, from anxious and nervous to reactive and aggressive. Also though dog grooming, I’ve worked with puppies all the way to senior dog and I’ve leant the best ways to deal with dogs at the different stages of life. I also did volunteer work at a vet practice, and I am also dog first aid trained. The welfare of the animals will always be my top priority! I am already doing dog walking and pet sitting outside of rover! Currently, I have complete availability of when I can pet sit! I would love to carry on with in this field of work and hopefully make it my full time job! I will always listen to what the owner says no matter what. If there are any concerns from me, I will always communicate them to make sure your pets are in the absolute best care. I am dog first aid trained, and I also have a car so if any vet tips were needed for any reason, I can get your pet there quickly and safely.
About: Loving, Knowledgeable Pet Care from a Future Veterinarian Hi there! I'm currently entering my third year of veterinary school, and caring for animals isn't just my profession-in-training—it's been my passion for as long as I can remember. I’ve grown up with cats my whole life and have experience handling a variety of pets with compassion, confidence, and a deep understanding of their health and behavior. Whether your furry friend needs a little extra TLC, has medical needs, or just craves companionship while you’re away, I bring a vet student’s knowledge with a lifelong pet lover’s heart. I’m comfortable administering medications, monitoring health concerns, and making sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved. If you're looking for someone you can trust to treat your pet like family, I’d love to help. Pet care fits naturally into my routine as a veterinary student and lifelong animal lover. I’m used to balancing a structured schedule, and I make time to give each pet the attention and care they need. I treat it as a priority—not just a task. I provide attentive, low-stress care that’s tailored to each pet’s needs. As a Fear Free Certified veterinary student, I use gentle handling techniques and watch closely for signs of stress or discomfort, always aiming to make animals feel safe and understood. Whether it’s feeding, administering medication, or simply spending time together, I focus on building trust and keeping routines consistent. With a strong foundation in animal health and behavior, I treat every pet with the same care and attention I give my own.

I am a freelance remote worker, meaning my day can be flexible to fit around the needs of your pet! They won’t want for attention, cuddles and walkies while I am spending time with them. I have experience administering medicine, especially for older pets. Happy to water your plants while you are away too.

About: Hi, My name's Pippa, I'm 36 years old and I live in Lytham. I absolutely adore dogs and animals, we've had them in my family all my life but since I've worked full time and live on my own, it wouldn't be fair to own one at the moment, instead I take my Mums dog (Barclay/Cockapoo) out most weekends. I've also looked after my close friends dog (Scamp/working cocker) for nearly 3 years, he stays with me and I take him for long walks around Lytham, The Lake District, Scorton. I'm happy to house pet sit and dog walk or check up on dogs if and when needed. Looking forward to hearing from you and hopefully meeting your beloved dogs :) I've now resigned from my full time job so I would like to continue doing what I love, and that's spending time with dogs and going for walks. I am already trusted with my close friends dog, I live in a 2 bedroom apartment but I have garden access and also living close to the beach, he gets a lot of time outside. I have my own key to their property and I always make sure it's secured when I visit/stay.
About: I have grown up with different types of dogs, big small or medium. In the past, we (my family) have had two English Bull Terriers, a Pug, Shar Pei, Bichon Frise, and many more throughout the family. I do love a good cuddle and would be happy to keep your dog entertained. I work from home Monday-Friday 9-5:30pm and could do with getting on my feet and burning some calories. I work from home Monday to Friday 9am-5:30pm so I am able to look after your pet before, after or during my shift. Happy to take my work laptop with me wherever. I do have a garden but one of our fences is off. One of my cats does go out now and again but he will only stay nearby. I mostly stay in the living room whilst I am working on my laptop but do keep an eye on them to make sure that they're safe and happy.

Carissa B.
“I cannot speak highly enough of Carissa and the care she provides to animals. Her love for pets is genuine, deep, and absolutely unwavering. Whether she’s looking after her own pets or caring for someone else’s, Carissa goes above and beyond to ensure they feel safe, happy, and loved. She has a natural intuition when it comes to animal needs—always patient, gentle, and attentive. Animals seem to instinctively trust her, and it's no surprise given the calm, compassionate energy she brings to every interaction. From feeding and grooming to playtime and health monitoring, she approaches every task with dedication and joy. What sets Carissa apart is not just her reliability and attention to detail, but the warmth she brings to the role. She treats every animal like a member of the family, forming meaningful bonds that reflect just how much she truly cares. Any pet in Carissa’s care is a lucky one. She is, without a doubt, a loving, responsible, and exceptional pet caregiver”
Jacqueline F.
“I have used Jacki to pet sit numerous times as she is just a huge animal lover but professional at the same time. She manages the fine line of providing love and care without spoiling. I can trust Jacki to keep my dog’s interests at heart …. managing their routine, keeping to their training, giving medication when needed but also spending lots of time giving love and cuddles. She even doesn’t mind the mad arm licking.. it’s a pug thing! I have found Jacki to be understanding of my need to know how he is doing whilst I am away by providing updates of their day and lots of photos. I have found Jacki to be super organised.. she has a spreadsheet for everything and is extremely trustworthy as well as lovely. She always put me at ease as I can tell she cares about your home as well as your pet. She has also dealt with any sickness, visits to our vet, following advice on food, cooking bland food as well as cleaning up messes. She just gets stuck in and deals with the situation. I would definitely recommend Jacki and say that is she perfect for your customers and their pets.”

“Sophia is wonderful with all animals - she is always kind and very capable, which can be seen with her own pets. Having been around her with cats and dogs, she responsible and attentive. You can guarantee your pets will be well looked after.”
