“Aaliyah provided exceptional care to our cat (Millie) on each visit! Aaliyah sent plenty of updates with photos and managed to bring our very shy Millie out of her shell immediately! All care instructions were followed exactly as laid out and Millie has definitely made a new friend! :)”
“I contacted Atlanta for drop-in visits to care for our puppies, and I couldn’t be happier with her service. From the very first interaction, she was prompt and professional, taking the time to visit our home beforehand to meet my family and the puppies. Atlanta’s nurturing personality and genuine love for animals really shines through. She’s incredibly thorough in following instructions to care for our puppies, which gave me peace of mind knowing they were in great hands. We’ve now booked weekly drop-ins, and the puppies absolutely adore her! It’s clear that Atlanta is dedicated to providing the best care possible. We trust her completely to look after our puppies while we’re at work. If you’re looking for a compassionate and trustworthy animal lover to care for your pets, look no further—Atlanta is the one! Thank you, Atlanta, for all that you do!”
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. I work full-time Mon-Thu so available for sitting for your pets all day/night Fri-Sun. I also work in education so, as my profile indicates, predominantly able to accommodate periods of school closures as well as weekends. I live in quiet cul-de-sac so free from main roads/traffic noise and passers by. The garden is 100% secure and have no adjoining gardens with any pets. Our estate is large and has a local woods with river giving lovely local walks. I'm lucky to live within a stones throw if all major motorways so can travel to many surrounding towns and villages easily if booked for pet sitting at your own home. Any pet in my care is treated as if they were my own so rest assured I'd be giving the love, kindness and attention you'd expect for them.
“Florence was amazing with our cat Derek! Derek immediately took to Florence, and Florence took really good care of him. We were sent updates and pictures which helped put our mind at ease while we were away. Derek clearly enjoyed all the fuss and attention! We will definitely book again.”
“Michelle was brilliant with Ringo. She contacted to let us know everything was ok and that Ringo was happy. Would easily use Michelle's services again. Thank you so much.”
“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!”
“Jonathan did a great job with the boys and was understanding of buddy’s nervous tendencies with males and this guidance was able to support buddy with his feedback for his upcoming training . Klopp really took to Jonathan much to my surprise”
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 owned animals since I was a child from guinea pigs to cats to dogs. I currently have 2 dogs and 1 cat and a rabbit. My dog is a husky so I am used to getting out walking daily. I am available all day for drop ins and walks. I own a husky who is very kind and gentle, she gets along with other dogs but can be left at home if it is an issue. I love long walks as well as short ones and plenty of play time. I have a very big secure back garden which is great for the dogs running around or relaxing in. I have a very small for her age husky who gets along with other dogs with no issues.

“Emma was a fantastic cat sitter, she was warm, welcoming and friendly. Emma come to meet Simba before hand and built a rapport with him to make the first visit easier. Nothing was ever to much trouble for Emma. Emma is trustworthy, reliable and was great with Simba. I'll definitely book with Emma again! ”
About: Ive aided in assistance dog training for 2 years, have a level 3 animal care diploma within that was taught canine first aid, I currently do go to uni doing veterinary bioscience and hopefully want to go onto doing veterinary medicine. I have a passion for taking care of animals and providing the best possible enrichment :) Right now at the moment since I’m back home I don’t really have much going on so it fits in perfectly with my schedule giving me something to do. Within homes I often do basic supervision such as sending text updates on what is happening and fun photos of your pets so you know they are always safe and sound :)
“From all the Swallow family we would like to thank Sharon from the bottom of our hearts for the love and care she gave to our wee Bobby, She truly was an Angel sent to us at a time of crisis. Bobby has thrived this week, when the wee soul would have been completely lost without his Mum Sharon treated him as her own. We dont know what we would have done without her and we will most definitely be in touch to book Sharon again. The kindness also shown to Mum when she got home was out of this world. Thankyou Sharon love all the Swallows xxx”
“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! 😊”

Thank you so much Michelle for taking such good care of omen! Really appreciated daily updates as to how she was getting along, proper relief to know she has been in such good hands over the course of our holiday. Litter box has been maintained, water is flowing and our girl has had affection and company (our house plants have been watered too!) Will be booking again when needed
Jane came to visit beforehand to find out everything about our cats and what exactly we needed. She was prompt arriving every day, sent wonderful pictures and updates daily which was of huge reassurance to us to know the cats were happy and well taken care of whilst we were away. Highly recommended!
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!
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%
Absolutely brilliant! We have used different sitters before but Sharon is definitely the best we’ve had! Regular updates and photos sent and came home to happy cats and no mess. Will be booking Sharon again next time and would highly recommend her to anyone.
