Cat Sitting in West Lancashire

About: Having grown up on a farm I have always been surrounded by animals. From dogs, cats, horses, cows, rabbits and Guinea Pigs I’ve looked after them all. When leaving school this drove my ambition to become a veterinary nurse, I worked in practice from 16 years old and gained masses of knowledge and experience in caring for all animals. I qualified and worked in practice for 10 years. I also set up a small kennels while living at the farm and really enjoyed all aspects of looking after the dogs. Since moving from the family home to my own home this is something I missed greatly. In 2022 we moved to our forever home I have gained The Animal Welfare License though West Lancs Council & at up my home boarding business to once again care for dogs I love so much. I’m currently a full time mummy with two children in primary school, this gives me plenty of time to fit in dog walks, visits and send quality time with your pets I have a large secure garden and a friendly little terrier who could keep you dog company. We also have a large kitchen/dinning area (with an aga to snuggle up to) and large utility room for drying off. We can see the canal from the front window so are super close for lovely long canal walks.

“Absolutely Great! It's the first time i used this kind of thing and wasnt sure how it goes. Oliver was very friendly and patient and explained everything in detail. He constantly kept in touch and even got the most antisocial cat i know to befriend him! Legend! I fully recommend him and will be reaching out again”

About: 🐶🐶 Please read my availability section as my calendar is explained there in more detail 🐶🐶 Professional, reliable, kind and experienced dog walker and home visits available in Aughton and surrounding areas. Horse and dog owner for 35+ years. Fully DBS checked and references available. Experienced with elderly dogs and dogs from a rescue background. Out-of-hours walking and home visits available. I am available for dog walking and home visits during school holidays, evenings, early mornings and weekends around my current job as a primary school teacher and deputy head. Having three dogs of my own who are at home with my partner through the day, I know all too well the difficulty of finding cover for my dogs during school holidays or in the evenings. One of my dogs enjoys kennels, one is elderly and requires a home setting and a familiar face, and my other dog is very reactive and requires home visits from someone with experience of reactive rescue dogs. Trying to find a solution for all three of my 4-legged best friends is near impossible and so I know all too well the challenge of finding the right person to trust with our dogs. I have owned horses and dogs well into their twilight years since I was a child and my priority is and always will be working my day around my animals ensuring they have the love and time they need and deserve. We do not offer home boarding however offer home visits which may/may not include walking. Feeding, companionship, toilet breaks all catered for. We may in certain circumstances accept dogs boarding in our home, please contact me to discuss availability. Only considered for well-socialised, house-trained, child-friendly dogs.

“This was the first time we have used a sitter and Natalie was exceptional. She kept us informed throughout with regular updates and photos and was attentive to Millie’s needs. She was very knowledgeable about cats which made us feel very comfortable leaving Millie in her capable hands. We have no hesitation in recommending her and would use her services again.”

“Rebecca was very resposive with messaging and getting back to me quickly. She treated my cat Molto with kindness which I very much appreciated. I do have to mention that I had asked her to refresh his water while she was here, which she missed. She also stayed for only about 11 min during the drop-in instead of the expected half hour. She was very nice all around though, but for the couple notes.”

“Dana looked after my cat Bruno whilst we were away for 3 days at Christmas. Dana was super friendly and shared lots of pictures/updates of him each day! He looked like he really enjoyed playing with Dana on her visits and everything was tidied away neatly. Thank you Dana! xx”

About: With years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all kinds from dogs and cats to horses and farm animals. I’ve developed a deep understanding of animal behaviour, routines, and needs. From playful puppies to senior cats, I’ve provided everything from daily walks and feedings to administering medication and giving lots of one-on-one attention. I’m comfortable with pets of all sizes, temperaments, and energy levels, and I always focus on creating a calm, loving, and safe environment. Whether your pet needs a snuggle buddy, a walking partner, or a trustworthy sitter while you're at work, I bring patience, reliability, and genuine love to every visit. I’m currently at uni however I do it all from home which means I have all the time in the world to look after your pets. I can do early visits, daily walks and night checks if needed. I have a secure garden and fields for your dogs to run around stress free in. I’m very privileged to have private land to use.

About: For over 4 years I worked as a professional pet border based in Lydiate. As well as this I have 3 dogs of my own ranging from small to large breed dogs . I’ve had 3 years of experience working with a professional animal behaviourist. Not only this but I have over 3 years experience working with reactive and nervous pets I’m not easily scared it can be a stressful situation for some pets getting know someone new. I’m currently working a small amount of hours e per week so I have a great amount of availability to try and help provide whatever service you need. Within my own home I have a half an acre fenced garden and professionally built dog kennels incase boarding is needed. As well as this I have experience with crating pets as well as owning an extremely friendly golden retriever who is great at making any dog feel right at home .

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was little with 3 Staffies, and most recently an energetic husky! I’m healthy so walking multiples times a day is no problem if needed. I also helped raised the puppy husky and helped care for my senior staffies, meaning I can also care for up to 2 dogs at a time. I also sheltered and cared for a cat for 2 years whilst in university, providing skills for all your animals :) I am currently in my final year of university and I am looking for more weekend routines rather than throughout the week. Pet care will allow me to get more fresh air and take a well needed break focusing on your pets, which will remind me of what my daily routine was living at home with my pets. I will ensure that pets are in rooms with shut doors if opening front door unless they are fully secured and ready for walks or if your back garden has fences or walls. I am able to give basic care regarding medicines and injuries if required. I will also follow any strict rules for your pets that you set up, as I know my husky isn’t allowed on the sofa!

About: I have always had different breeds of dogs in my household whilst growing up that has helped me understand the different needs and care that each pet needs. I have also trained a few dogs in recall, how to roll over, sit and lie down. My friends and family rely on me to care for their pets and they get as much love, care and attention that they will let me give! Your pets will be safe with me and will receive a lot of love and care. I currently work week in week off on night shifts. I can look after your pet no problem during my week off, during my week in I will still be able to do this it will just have to be discussed. I have an unfenced front garden which is quite big and has plenty of room for your pet to move around, Near me is a beach, a large dog walk and 2 different fields for your pet to have exercise. Your pet will always feel comfortable wish fresh food and water everyday, lots of exercise and most importantly love and cuddles! :)

About: Having been blessed enough to grow up around animals, I have taken care of them since I was 8, and adored every second of it. I am available to care for your beloved pets on weekends and for overnight stays. I can do Tuesdays through to Thursday from 4pm and onwards. As an experienced pet carer, I keep my eyes on the animals in my care at all times and complete safety assessments of our surroundings.

About: I have experience of looking after my parents dog, Walking, feeding, bathing, playing. I am aware of how dogs communicate and can adjust my behaviour as necessary to suit the dog. I am currently working part time setting my own days so I am able to work this around schedules for any needs that may arise. In a pet owners home, I would care for the pets by adjusting my demeanor to that of what the pet is used to. I understand that some pets take more time to get used to other people and would approach this effectively, giving the pet time to adjust.

About: I offer professional care for your pet when you are at work, going on holiday or do not have enough time for your pet. I take care of dogs in the owner's house -I go for walks with dogs during which I also play with dogs. During the care of animals, I devote 100% of their attention to them. I advise the proprietors on the problems of pets. For each ward I am preparing an individual care plan discussed at the meeting with the owners (the first meeting is free). Additionally, during walks or visits, I recording video, taking photos so that the owner knows what is happening with his pet. I also have pet first aid and dbs check.

About: I have always loved animals, and I have had fair share of experience of looking after them, currently I am a mummy to 10 year old Gizmo the pug, who is now a senior we have been through a lot and he is one strong cookie, so I have quite a lot of experience looking after an older boy or a girl, I am happy to work with both big and small dogs! I love to get outside and enjoy my time with the furry friends! My schedule changes week from week as I work full time as a registered nurse so I would try accommodate as able even at short notice I am very diligent on walks and your doggy would be in safe hands with me! I am happy to take it at your dogs pace as they get to know me

About: Having had dogs all my life I have had plenty of experience. I have dog and house sat for friends and family over the years and officially been sitting on rover for a couple of years. I have had the pleasure to enjoy the company of their pets and care for their every need whilst on vacation! I have had experience with both larger and small dog breeds and have no problem sitting multiple pets at one time. I have also been house and dog sitting on other sites to grow trust with people who are in need of someone to care for their dogs whilst they’re away. Work from home 50% of time also so have that flexibility to care for your pets throughout the week with help from my partner on office days meaning your pets will never be alone longer than 4 hours at a time. Able to do house visits and walks through the week and on weekends. Parter also sits with myself so have two pairs of hands to help with walks if there is more attention required. I have cared for pets all my life and dog sat in other peoples homes also. Have the capability to walk, care, feed and bath pets and even give medication if required.

“What a lovely couple! I will be back for sure! And My cat wasn’t stressed!”
