House Sitting in South Ribble

“Kelly is an amazing person. Having her in our home to sit Enzo brought me so much joy. I didn't have to worry as she took great care of Enzo while I was away. I would use Kelly again. She is calm and experienced. Enzo loves her”

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.

About: I have taken care of cats and dogs for friends and neighbours, I had a dog myself but sadly had to give it away last year. I work most days but I’m flexible in the evenings and can do over night stays My job enables me to do check on your pet throughout the day I don’t offer this service, I will be staying in your home to look after your pets. I am here to work around you and make sure your not worried about your pet whilst away

“Jacqueline was booked for a second time and this time she looked after my four month old kitten and my new 8 week old kitten that I’d only had for a week. Both kittens didn’t get along when I left but a week later when I returned they are like different kittens, cat whisperer, Jacqueline absolutely worked her magic and also left my house amazingly tidy and clean. I wouldn’t use anyone else now. Thank you so much xx”

“Debbie and Andrew did a fantastic job looking after our two cocker spaniels while we were away on holiday for 10 days. It was the first time we had needed to use a dog sitter from outside our family group and we were therefore a little apprehensive about how they would fare in our absence. We needn’t have worried as we received regular detailed updates about how the dogs were doing along with lots of photos that gave us great reassurance. We would happily request Debbie and Andrew to look after our dogs again and I cannot recommend them highly enough!”

About: I have just completed my 3 year degree in Veterinary Nursing and will be a registered veterinary nurse in around a months time. I have put hours of hard work and studying in over the last 3 years to strive to provide the highest quality of care for my patients. Over the years I’ve gained lots of experience in consulting, administration of medications, anaesthesia, diagnostic imaging, post op care, first aid and so many more. Before doing veterinary nursing I also worked in multiple different establishments including a doggy day care and down on a farm of a family friend helping out a dog breeder. I have always loved animals and currently own a 13 year old springer spaniel. I’ve had lots of experience with caring for different breeds/sizes/ages and I am very comfortable with administering any medications that your pet may require. I have also had lots of experience and training in monitoring for abnormalities and potential problems that can occur medically. Since being a young child, I have always been obsessed with animals and wanting to pet and show every dog and cat attention that I see! Any questions just send me a message😊 I am currently at home most days so am available most of the week! I am open to being flexible and catering towards when is best for you! I will collect any information on your dog/cats routine and follow their usual day to day routine. Making sure they are safe and cared for always!

“Very pleased with Tracy looking after Russet. Tracy always replied promptly to communications and looked after Russet and the house well. Would request Tracy again if she is agreeable.”

“Our dog loves Matthew. They bonded straight away. He met all our dog’s needs and provided me and my husband with peace of mind that he was being well cared for. We would recommend Matthew to anyone. Thank you Matthew!”

About: Having always been around Dogs, Cats and Aquatics, I have a long history of pet care. Additionally, I have experience with pets with complex medical needs, along with pets of all ages - from over-eager babies to over-opinionated elders. Every circumstance is different, so I try my best to curate my services and tailor them to your needs specifically. I have also had the joy of working with many different breeds and mixes over the years, including all sizes. I currently House and Pet sit full-time. I am open to short or long-term bookings, and am happy to travel if needed, even outside of the distance marked on Rover. Safety is my first priority, and I'd much prefer to be safe than sorry. Any approved off-lead walking is off the table until not only I trust the dog, but the dog trusts me. If I'm not confident in a dogs socialising, or their reactiveness, I will keep to quieter walks or presence in the home. Equally, I will not force a pet to interact with me, a stranger; I'll encourage cuddles, play and routine to maintain a sense of stability for your pets, but please don't worry at the idea of me getting offended if they stick their noses up at me - I'm not their human! Any relationship takes time, and I hope to build trust and respect not only between humans, but between any animals and I as well. I endeavour to be as respectful to your home as possible, while being as practical as possible.

“Sophie was fantastic. She took time to understand our 4 dogs, their needs and routine. Harvey was poorly when we were away and Sophie handled it all brilliantly with regular updates. Our home was immaculate when we returned. Polite, professional, true dog lover. Couldn’t recommend Sophie more.”

About: I have grown up with both dogs and cats my whole life, so I am very comfortable caring for and looking after pets on a daily basis. I currently have a dog and two cats who get along very well, creating a calm and safe home environment. This has given me ongoing experience managing different animal needs. Through helping care for dogs for family and friends, I have gained experience with different dog personalities and care requirements, including walking and feeding. I aim to create a calm and safe environment so that every dog feels comfortable in my care. I understand the importance of ensuring owners feel confident and reassured that their dog is being taken care of properly. I'm currently a university student home for the summer and I also work as bank staff at the hospital. This gives me a flexible schedule, meaning I have plenty of time during the week and weekends to take care of your dog! Being at home also means I have lots of additional support around me, helping to ensure your dog recieves the best care at all times. I have a fenced and secure garden where your dog can safely run around and play. I also have pets of my own, which provides your dog with some company while they're here. Where I am located, there is a woodland area just a 2-minute walk away with a variety of extensive walking routes away from busy roads, ensuring safe and enjoyable walks.

“Florence has been AMAZING with our nervous doggo, Nina. Really patient, understanding, considerate and accommodating to all of us. She made brilliant progress with Nina in a short time, and clearly has a great connection with animals. Very grateful to have come across Florence on here :)”

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 work in Education and am also a student. I am often up early in the morning and would love to fit in some visits around work. I have flexible working and work from home benefits so I can work from your home with plenty of breaks, or do a half day at home and half at work. My weekends and evenings are mostly free so plenty of time then 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 like clear instructions/guidance on what each pet needs and will always follow these.

About: taken care of four dogs of different ages, many shelter cats and a lil pup. it’s time to bring my voluntary work to rover! I am currently fully flexible. I work as a freelance artist so my availability changes with each contract I work, as well as in between contracts. I pay great attention to detail so I will heed your every instruction. I also love animals so you can be sure your pets will be in very loving hands!

“Amazing once again! My golden had a great time whilst house sitting with lots of pupdates!”

About: I have been taking care of pets since 8 years now. Along with my husband, I moved countries, leaving our pets ( 2 dogs and 2 cats) behind with our loving family who currently take care of them! Making use of all this built up love and longing for our fur babies till we meet them again! x I am currently on mat leave and husband works 4 days which gives us plenty of time to board according to our availability and your needs. We have a fenced garden outside but the cats will be mostly inside our house which is secure and with me at home at all times, safety isn’t a problem.

“Absolutely brilliant! She took really good care of my cat and the house! She is also such a lovely and friendly person too! Will definitely be booking her again!”

“We couldn’t be happier with Caitlyn’s dog and house sitting! She stayed with our Blue, for two weeks and did an absolutely amazing job. Caitlyn is so easygoing yet professional, and she kept us fully updated with regular pictures and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Most importantly, she truly loved Blue, and it was clear from his happy face in every update that the feeling was mutual! My house was immaculate too which was a bonus thank you ! We’ll 100% be asking Caitlyn to look after Blue again in the future, and we wouldn’t hesitate for a second to recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and wonderful sitter.”
