Pet Sitting Southport

About: I always said that I preferred dogs over people when I was a child… and it’s still true today. Myself & my fiancé have rescued 3 beautiful pooches over the years, giving us a huge understanding of dogs with varying personalities and traits. Your dog will be safe, loved, and truly understood in my hands. Dogs aren’t just pets to me - they’re family. In our home is myself (Hi I’m Kate 👋), my partner James and our 2 lovely small rescue pooches. I will be solely looking after your dog for: House Sitting, Dog Walking, Drop-in Visits and Doggy Day Care. As my partner works daytimes. However, if your dog is booked to stay in our home for Boarding, my partner will be looking after your pooch too - evenings and weekend. He is also a true dog lover and has grown up with dogs all his life. 🐕‍🦺 What I Specialise In: • Small dog care • Rescue dog understanding • Nervous, anxious, reactivity, or special quirks • Medication management and experience with chronic health issues (our beautiful dog Benji lived with cancer for 18 months, therefore I’m use to regular vet visits and administering medication) • Long-term stays: I have regularly looked after our previous neighbour’s dog, often for up to 3 weeks • High prey-drive dogs • Managing allergies • Supporting behaviour challenges like lead reactivity • Gentle, positive and understanding care 🏡 Home life: Your dog should hopefully feel right at home in our home. • Large, fully enclosed garden with 6ft fencing, perfect for zoomies • Dogs are welcome on the furniture • Dog-friendly environment • Playtime with my 2 dogs, walks and lots of affection Please see the about me section below 😊 I am currently at home daily, therefore your dog won’t be left alone. I will check beforehand if your dog can be left at home at all (in case I nip to the local shop etc) - If they can’t, don’t worry, they won’t be left. When my partner is off during the weekends, we like to go for longer dog walks. This includes the beach or large parks. I will always walk your dog on lead for safety. We have 2 gorgeous rescue dogs. Opal (around 6 years old). She’s a gorgeous mixed breed (Romanian street dog rescue). Very quirky, fun and super clever. Niblet - our newest fluffball, (around 2 1/2 years old). A tiny, friendly Chinese street dog rescue (possibly Shih Tzu/Poodle cross). Incredibly playful and silly. Both my dogs are neutered / spayed and good with other dogs. Sadly unable to take raw fed dogs. Please feel free to ask any questions.

About: I run my own local dog walking business and specialise in small, carefully matched group walks. I prefer keeping my groups relaxed and chilled, so every dog gets proper attention, plenty of sniffing time and the chance to actually enjoy their walk without being lost in a huge pack. I’ve also have experience working within a dog rescue and have experience caring for deaf, blind and elderly dogs, as well as dogs who need a little extra patience or reassurance. I love getting to know each dog’s individual personality and quirks, and I’ll always make sure they’re placed with dogs who genuinely suit them. As a lifelong dog owner myself, I know how nerve-racking it can be trusting someone else with your dog. I’m reliable, attentive and always happy to send photo updates, because I know owners love seeing that their dog is safe, happy and having an adventure. I currently offer dog walks on Wednesdays and Fridays, usually during the morning. In warmer weather, I prioritise earlier walks where possible so dogs can enjoy themselves safely and comfortably before the hottest part of the day. I keep my availability limited so I can give each dog reliable, unrushed care. I am canine first aid trained and carry a first aid kit on walks. I take the time to learn each dog’s routine, temperament, triggers and individual needs on solo walks initially. Dogs are carefully matched for small group walks, and I never place a dog into a group unless I’m confident they’ll be comfortable. I use secure leads and equipment, keep owners updated, and always put safety before squeezing in extra dogs.

About: I have worked in a office with 7 German Sheppards. I currently have a 13 year old gorgeous retriever called Molly, and a 4 year old grand dog retriever. I have looked after friends and family dogs I currently work on a Tuesday and Thursday daytime but I will be available on these days after 5.15pm. I have full availability on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. I have a pet friendly home. My three cats don't share the same area although they could if they wanted to. One of my cats is timid, one is in your face, and one is frightened so I have a whole mix of cat temperaments. Our elderly family dog is used to cats, kittens and tortoises and doesn't bother at all.

“Lilly was able to help super last minute. She was very caring and spent time getting our cat comfortable with her. I really appreciate the photos and messages as we had just lost our other cat so we were feeling very anxious. Lilly made us feel more comfortable leaving for a few days. ”

About: I have grown up with dogs all my life ! Both big and little along with some having additional health needs ie insulin dependent diabetes! I work full time for NHS but due to work and we have recently rehomed a 9month old Cavapoo called Hector who is very energetic but great temperament. I love the outdoors and walking but having a 4 legged friend with me makes it even better. I am happy with lead or non lead walks depending on your preference. I currently hybrid work and often will work from home during the week at times. I don’t work Friday / Saturday / Sunday . If you have a mid week request let me know as I can be flexible at times with work. My partner also works from home each day so if I am out there will be someone else around I am adaptable and will care for dogs however owner would prefer. I am happy with dogs on the furniture but if you would prefer them not too please let me know

About: I have been an animal lover since I was a child, and have cared for various animals throughout my life. Although I am new to Rover, I have always been the go-to person to care for family and friends pets, and always treat them as my own. I have experience looking after different dog breeds of varying ages with different energy levels, temperaments and particular needs. If I have the opportunity to spend time with dogs I will take it, even on my travels I will visit a dog rescue or care for the stray dogs. I have a Labrador named Daisy who is 13 years old and treat her like my child, so rest assured I know the importance of caring for your pup! I am currently working part-time meaning I have a flexible schedule. I am available Monday mornings and afternoons, Tuesday early mornings and afternoons, Wednesday and Thursday before 9am and after 3pm. Weekends are more flexible as I am off two days and alternate a 4 hour shift on a Friday/Saturday so have plenty of time. I live with my mum in a house which has gates at the front and side, and a fenced garden. I have a 13 year old Labrador who is very gentle and friendly.

About: I have taken care of friends dogs overnight both at their house and my own and walk dogs at least once a week, I love dogs and thought this would be a great way to earn whilst doing one of my favourite things! Availability 🐾 🐕 Dog Walks Monday: 5pm onwards Saturday & Sunday: 12pm onwards. Occasionally I can do weekday evenings so please message me and I will do what I can 🏠 Drop-in Visits Monday, Wednesday & Friday: around 12:30–2pm Monday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday & Sunday: evenings Saturday & Sunday: 12pm onwards. I’m happy to work around your dog’s routine wherever possible! 🐶💛 I believe a dog walk should be about more than just getting some exercise, it should be a chance for them to explore and have fun. 🐾 I’ll always walk your dog at a pace that suits them, giving them plenty of time to stop, sniff and explore their surroundings rather than rushing them from A to B. I think allowing dogs to sniff and take in whats around them is really important for their wellbeing, helping them to relax, regulate and feel happy and comfortable on their walk. 🦮 Of course, I’ll always follow your preferences and any specific training or routines you have in place. I’ll also be mindful of other dogs and people we come across, making sure your dog stays safe and comfortable throughout the walk. ❤️ Most importantly, I genuinely love spending time with dogs and want every walk to be something they look forward to, a relaxed, enjoyable experience where they can be themselves. 🐶❤️

“Fay was absolutely fantastic with Albert! She came to meet us before and completely understood Albert's needs. I would recommend Fay to anyone who is looking for dog care she deserves 5 stars!”
