About: My name is Santo and I have over 15 years of hands on experience caring for, handling and working with large breed dogs. I have eight rescue dogs of my own and have also been fortunate enough to have ex-police dogs in my care. Over the years, I’ve helped rescue, rehabilitate and rehome dogs, including nervous, reactive and more challenging dogs. This is not just a job to me. Dogs are my passion, and nothing makes me happier than seeing a dog enjoying itself, gaining confidence and getting the stimulation it needs. I genuinely believe dogs deserve to experience life, not just be taken around the same block every day. Every walk is tailored around your dog and what you, as the owner, are comfortable with. That might be a steady walk around your local area, a longer countryside walk, time at a secure private dog field or, for dogs booked into my care for longer periods, trips to the beach and other new places. Nothing is done without the owner’s permission, and I always take the time to understand each dog’s personality, routine and needs. I offer both short and long distance walks, and I make sure your dog receives the full time you have paid for. Travel time is never taken out of the walking time. If you book an hour, your dog gets a full hour on the ground, moving, exploring, playing and enjoying itself. I am confident with large, powerful, nervous and reactive dogs. I am fully insured, wear a body camera while working for extra reassurance, and treat every dog in my care with the same patience, protection and respect that I give my own. To me, dogs are family. They are special animals with their own personalities, feelings and needs, and any dog trusted to me will be cared for properly, kept safe and given the chance to genuinely enjoy its time outdoors. Dog walking and pet care are my full time job, and I treat them with the same commitment and professionalism as any other full time business. I work from a diary, so each day is planned around booked walks, pick-ups, drop-offs, training sessions and the individual needs of the dogs in my care. My availability depends on the diary, but I always make sure every booking has the proper time set aside for it. I never rush one dog to get to the next, and travel time is not taken out of the walk or care time you have paid for. Your dog’s safety will always come first. I am fully insured and use a specially adapted dog transportation van fitted with secure, custom made, crash tested cages. I also wear a body camera on walks for added safety, accountability and peace of mind. I personally prefer to offer dogs more than the same walk around the block every day. Where suitable, I collect them and take them to a secure private dog-walking facility with one to two acres of space. This gives them the chance to run, explore, play and receive any appropriate obedience work or mental stimulation in a safe, controlled environment. I also offer countryside walks, with dogs kept on lead unless I know them well, have the owner’s permission and believe the area and circumstances are completely suitable. Any freedom is introduced carefully and responsibly, based on the individual dog rather than taking unnecessary risks. Dogs booked into my care for longer periods may also enjoy bigger days out, including trips to Lytham St Annes beach. I believe dogs should be given the chance to experience new places, different smells and proper outdoor freedom, while still being kept safe and following exactly what their owner is comfortable with. My home has secure, fenced areas at both the front and back. Owners are normally expected to provide their dog’s usual food so their diet remains consistent. Where feeding has been agreed for a longer stay, I use Orijen complete kibble unless the owner has requested or supplied a specific diet. Every routine, feeding requirement and instruction will be discussed before the booking begins.

“Halle is currently looking after Romeo senior 16ywar old Chihuahua. Romeo has only ever been left with family and has quickly built a trusted relationship with Halle over a short period of time. Halle is calm and caring with Romeo, the pictures are reassuring and I look forward to getting them. It’s reassuring as a pet owner to know Romeo feels relaxed and safe with Halle”

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and caring for them has always come naturally to me. My first pet was a Labrador–Alsatian cross, who I absolutely adored and who sparked my love for dogs from a young age. Since then, I’ve also owned two Jack Russell Terriers, Jack and Russell, who I regularly walked together. Dogs are a big part of my family life, and I’ve often helped out by pet-sitting, feeding, and walking relatives’ dogs. I’m very comfortable and confident around all types of dogs and genuinely enjoy spending time with them. I would love the opportunity to meet and care for new dogs, giving them the attention, exercise, and care they deserve. I am currently working part-time while finishing my studies at university, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for your pets. I am available for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting throughout the week and weekends. I always prioritise your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine. I will follow any instructions you provide closely, including feeding schedules, walking preferences, and any specific needs your dog may have. I make sure pets are kept secure on walks and in the home, and I take the time to build trust so they feel calm and comfortable with me. I’m confident handling different breeds and temperaments, and I’ll always treat your pet as if they were my own.

About: Hello! I am a passionate and dedicated animal lover who considers caring for pets an absolute joy rather than just a job. Having grown up surrounded by animals, I have built a deep understanding of pet behavior, body language, and individual needs, ensuring every animal in my care feels safe, loved, and right at home. ​I offer a range of personalized services designed to fit your pet's exact routine, including home boarding, drop-in visits, and secure dog walking. Standard walks typically last between 30 to 60 minutes, packed with plenty of exercise, sniffing time, and fun, while drop-in visits include feeding, fresh water, playtime, and toilet breaks. ​I primarily care for dogs and cats who are friendly, well-socialized, and comfortable around a home environment. My setup is warm, secure, and pet-friendly, though overly aggressive animals or those with severe, unmanaged behavioral issues may not be the best fit for my space. ​You can rely on me to maintain your pet's daily routine closely, keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages while you are away, and handle any situation with a calm, safety-first approach. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member! ​I keep a flexible schedule that allows me to be largely at home with pets. I am fully available to provide dedicated attention, regular toilet breaks, play sessions, and constant supervision throughout the day. Safety is my top priority. I maintain a secure, escape-proof environment, closely monitor pets for any signs of stress or hazards, and strictly follow any specific dietary or care instructions provided by the owner.

About: I’ve cared for animals my whole life and currently have 3 dogs of my own whom have very different personalities and energy levels. I hold a level 1 degree in animal management and I’ve directly worked on a farm with many different breeds and temperaments (including working dogs and guard dogs). This gave me experience in clear handling, reading body language early and making sure every dog feels understood and safe. All pets in my care get treated like my own consistency, kindness and respect. I can follow routines whatever they may be, and I’m extremely reliable and communicative. I’m comfortable with every breed and personality! I keep updates consistent so you always know how your pet is and what they are doing so your never wondering what’s happening. Looking after other people’s pets fits really naturally into my weekly routine. I already have structured daily routines so adding walks, drop-ins or care for your pets is easy for me to integrate without rushing or cutting corners. I stay consistent, organised and present so your pet gets calm, relaxed care every single time. My dogs get walked twice a day and have plenty of active playtime in the garden in between. I also use enrichment + puzzle games daily to give them mental stimulation, problem solving and calm focus so it’s not just physical exercise it’s balanced brain work to. When they aren’t in play or training they nap and decompress.

“Rebecca put my mind at ease the moment she met my three dogs,she showed lots of care and attention to detail on the care of one of my dogs, as he's had spinal surgery. She kept me informed with a calling card and photos. I would highly recommend Rebecca for the future. Thank you from Myself,Lily S.J. and Luna x”

About: I have been the designated dog sitter all my life! Whether taking care of my own dogs, from puppies to senior, or taking care of others, going full force dog-mom like they’re my own! I currently work full-time, however I choose my own hours and often work from home! While I don’t have specific times of availability during the week due to my flexible hours, evenings and weekends are a certainty! I live in a ground floor flat which has its own entrance, and I have a small court-yard in the back which is completely closed in.

About: I have a huge passion for animals ever since I was a little girl. The dog I have at home is a husky x Broder collie so I'm no stranger to long walks and hours and hours of play time. He has a lot of energy that needs to go somewhere. I have brought him up to be a very social dog and we just love to stop off and have a chat with the next dog walker that comes long. Even if it's just a hi. I like to think of myself as a friendly and competent person who can handle any type of situation. I love long walks and seeing the happiness on dogs faces when they are having such a great time in the open air.
