“Michelle was absolutely incredible! I loved meeting her, and she took amazing care of my cat. I got lovely videos and pictures when Michelle visited to look after my cat, and everything was seamless, easy and done right. I highly recommend Michelle!!! :)”

“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!”

“Thank you so much for doing a home visit to Harvey, Poppy, Otis and Sophie while we had a long lunch out. It gave us piece of mind knowing you were there. Wonderful photos too. Also really appreciated the chance to meet Aaliyah and Aaron ahead of time.”

“Catherine arrived on time for dog-sitting. Oz and Vinnie were excited to see her and quickly settled into their routine of playing then sleeping. Very reassuring to know they were in good hands”


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.

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.
“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”

“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! 😊”

“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”

“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.”

“Charlotte looked after my cats whilst we were away and I couldn’t have been happier! She sent lots of updates and I felt very reassured that the cats were doing well! Would book with her again! Thank you!”

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’ve always loved animals since I can remember, I was the kid holding the cat on all the photos and outside with the dog at parties! Numerous friends and family have trusted me with their pets over the years and I’ve loved having them all. Last year after buying my own house I realised my lifelong dream of getting a puppy, he’s my world so I understand the importance of trusting your family member to someone to be cared for. We also had two hours rabbits who lived until ten and Hugo adored them. My job has enabled me to socialise him with all kinds of dogs and people since he was 10 weeks old, he’s the sweetest boy and loves any play mate. While in my care I will treat your companion as if they’re my own with full access to the house and garden, with regular toilet breaks and walks. I also have a downstairs bathroom which enables me to easily bath anybody who’s been having too much fun in the mud. I have experience with puppies and senior dogs and will follow any specific instructions given to provide you with the best piece of mind when you leave your companion with us.if you have specific requests or times needed please don’t hesitate to ask me directly and I’ll help out where i can I work full time but within the animal care industry so understand the importance of routine. Morning walks and toileting are possible and lunchtime visits, then I usually get home around 4/4:30 so another walk evening time is always on the cards. As described I do have a dog within my household, he I an intact male but the softest boy. He has never shown any domination on any setting and has lots of male and female friends. If I’m my home your dog would have vip access to any area and I can also provide a place for a crate if that’s how they’re most comfortable. If asking me to stay in your home I would ask you to be aware I would need to bring Hugo with me so this may not be suitable for everyone. However we have done this successfully in the past.

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%
Leaving my 16 year old boy Pip whos on palletive care and has dementia was very nerve wracking but Sharon was absolutely fantastic giving me that peace of mind while i was away. She was very patient with Pip and worked at a slower pace for him and managed special routines. Sharon always attended to Pips needs on time. She was very trusworthy, patient and had the ability to manage a senior routine and the ability of handling medication and complex needs of a senior dog. Sharon provided regular updates and photos. Sharon had a lot of love and time for Pip. Thank you so much. Much appreciated. Marie and Pip x
