Dog Sitters in Standish

Would highly recommend We Love Pets Chorley. We’ve had amazing service via Caroline with her great team Elkie, Mandy, Kate & Abbey. We always receive a great update of Vespa including photos/ videos of him on his walks with his furry friends. Would definitely recommend, such an amazing team.

Mandy is excellent with doggies. Especially Milo. Her knowledge with having a boxer is outstanding. She totally understands him. Mandy not only does her job well she does it with love and care. Mandy took some brilliant photos of our boy. kept us updated and put us at ease. We enjoyed our four days away. Milo certainly enjoyed his 4 days with Mandy. I would highly recommend

We went on holiday and had We Love Pets look after our 2 cats and our 4 rescue hens!! They sent Sarah who was perfect. Sadly one of our hens, who had been poorly before we left, passed away. She’d fought hard to survive, but she was too tired in the end. Sarah gave me the news straight away. Very hard for her, but she was so caring and considerate. Throughout the week she sent photos and videos and daily updates. The most amazing service!! We came home to this… a photo of the lady we lost, a lovely plaque and handwritten card xxx this is a priceless service, that went above and beyond. I highly recommend this service if you’re going away and don’t want your pets to be uprooted and upset!!! 10/10 priceless service!! Thank you xx

We use “we love pets” to do puppy visits to our gorgeous Hugo. The ladies are amazing - they all visited beforehand to meet him and now come whenever we need them. Hugo loves them all and loves to play with them. We get great photos (thank you Elkie and Carol) and can tell he is safe and enjoying himself. Cannot recommend them highly enough. Hugo would give 6* if he could!

We had a wonderful experience. Mandy really took great care of our cocker spaniel and introduced him to lots of play buddies. Everyday we received updates from his walks out and Oakley really missed his holiday fun when he came home. Thanks again, for the care and attention you gave our four legged pal ❤️

Our little boy has the time of his life with the ladies at we love pets. He has been going with them now for over a year. He had problems with other dogs while out but now loves his little gang and loves his walks with them. They have a reslly good understanding of what your dog needs to enjoy the walk and take care and are very patient. They always collect him on time and leave him back at the house with fresh water and a treat. He is always happy to go with them. While we are away he stays with our mother and he is collected from there with no worries and they are always happy to change arrangements to fit in with us and what's best for the dogs they care for. I would recommend them to anybody who is looking for dog walking services.

We love pets, helped me out with an urgent 2 night boarding. Meeting Mandy for the first time in her home, I instantly felt her warmth towards me and Chester, it was certainly home from home for him , her understanding of his needs and dedication shown, with updates of text and videos during his stay was so reassuring, I will definitely use the services offered by we love pets again

We love Pets Chorley, are absolutely incredible they have been so accommodating to us and we couldn’t be more than thankful. Elkie has been walking our dog since he was a puppy and she has bonded so well with him and knows actually how to handle our boy especially when he is one of his crazy puppy moods. Elkie initially started with the 1-1 puppy call around but has now moved on to have a big boy walk where Elkie takes him for an hour and we couldn’t be so lucky it’s with another Hungarian Vizsla and they’ve become the best of friends and we love it when we’re both at work and they send through all the videos and pictures that day. Thank you for everything 🧡 x

Ted has the absolute time of his life when out walking with Elkie or any other member of the team! His recall and relationship with other dogs has improved no end. I know I can call on Caroline at short notice and our needs are always met. Ted is often out longer than the time I have paid for and is always dropped off clean & dry, which for a mud magnet takes some doing! I have 100% confidence in the whole team and would recommend them without hesitation.

We have had such positive experiences with our two girls, Mandy is very attentive on her visits and sends us ample photos and videos of them, taking the time to play their favourite games. Our cats are very lucky to have someone so wonderful check in on them when we have to go away!

Great home from home comforts , excellent care . Our two dogs are completely at ease when staying with Jayne. They literally have their own holiday ! Our dogs have never been happier- no stress at all. Would recommend 100%

Canine Comforts Wigan, is a fantastic family run business that I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a safe boarding establishment for their dog. Jayne looked after my dog whilst I was away on holiday and sent me regular pupdates of her on walks in the local park and playing in the garden. A wonderful service from wonderful people who care for dogs they look after as if they were their own.

Fantastic 1st class service from Jayne, Millie loves going each week, she is more than well looked after and I receive lots of pictures and videos throughout the day for reassurance. Jayne is very caring and I would highly recommend her to others, I wouldn’t leave Millie with anyone else

I was so delighted with the kind thoughtful care that Jayne gave to Teddy my dog recently . To be kept up to date with pictures and videos of him while I was away was so reassuring . I will certainly book him in again. Thankyou. Regards Jean Cox

Charlie absolutely loves his time at canine comforts Jayne is so good with the dogs - treats them as her own - I love the updates i receive too whilst he is there via video and message. Highly recommend 😀 …

Jayne has looked after my pooches a few times now. She is extremely welcoming and trustworthy...which i find is one of the most important things about choosing someone to look after my fur babies.

Lexi always has a great experience here when we are on holiday , she loves it 💕 Jayne sends us regular updates/ videos so we don’t fret too much ! Highly recommend …

My little boy loved his holiday at canine comforts! Will definitely be returning to Jayne the next time we go away.

Happy to leave our beloved Beau with Jayne. She treats him like her own x

Well what can we say...Craig and his family provide the most highest standard of care our baby boy baxter. This is his home from home, baxter loves going to dotties day care and he is so very loved there. We can not praise or recommend Dotties enough and Baxter loves seeing you all! Thank you so much, Emma, Mike and Baxter x

Couldn't recommend Craig more for cat-sitting, our 2 were very well looked after with twice-daily visits while we were on holiday. Craig sent lots of photos and was very patient with our more nervous cat. You can really tell how much the team at Dottie's love animals 😃 We will definitely be using them again. …

A very professional service! Craig and his family looked after our two dogs for the weekend. They provided excellent care in a safe and secure environment. Our two dogs are not used to boarding but they settled immediately. The team go the extra mile to ensure your pet and their owners are given five star treatment. Plenty of photos and updates to put your mind at rest. Our pets certainly made themselves at home. We can’t thank Craig and his family enough for their wonderful care and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend the service to friends and family.

I have just got back from a weeks holiday this was the first time we had put my dogs in somewhere when we went away so i was very anxious about them but i found Dotties and craig was brilliant he really put our minds at rest before we went and while we was away sending photo and videos of my dogs settling in and relaxing with craig and his family i would definitely recommend and be will be using again thank you for taking such good care of my doggos for me while i was away .

Craig looked after our cat for a long weekend. She was in very good hands, regular updates given and the service has been amazing. Will definitely use in the future.

We reached out to Craig at dotties pet care and he stated that he did not take dogs that are not neutered, which is understandable. Craig then got back in touch pretty much straight away and stated that there was someone else available who boards dogs on his behalf when they are unavailable/fully booked. That’s when we were put in touch with sue. Sue stated that she could look after our Bobby last minute and she was so lovely and her communication was fab. Bobby enjoyed his time with sue and came back all tired out, as he had been on lots of walkies with sue. I don’t think he wanted to come home haha. We would recommend sue to anybody and we can tell Bobby has been well looked after and enjoyed his time there. Will definitely be using again. Thank you sue. And thank you Craig for pointing us in the right direction so last minute. X

Craig assessed my puppy for a couple if hours. He wasnt phased by his boisterous behaviour. He was relaxed and had an obvious passion for dogs I felt totally relaxed and confident that my puppy would be well cared for. He sent me photos of my puppy to put my mind at rest. Am looking forward to using Dotties petcare in the very near future. 😁😁😁😁

I recently reached out to Craig at Dotties. We were all set to go on a family holiday when our home boarder let us down. Five weeks before flying and we had no one to look after our charming, clever furry cockapoo friend. Craig empathised and did everything to accommodate the family dog. I found the interaction with Craig very warm, confident and caring. He and his family are lovely people who go beyond a home boarding service. They looked after our dog with such love and introduced him to new friends. Our dog even showed Craig that he had a trick or two to share with his new doggy friends. One trick shared was his ability to reach for and open living room doors and then to invite his pals upstairs. Craig, was light hearted about this canine trick. We really appreciated receiving the text messages from Craig, while we were on holiday to say the furry friend was doing well and enjoying his time with other dogs. A truly wonderful family, doing more and more for the animal world. Their love for animals is incredible; this is more than a service, it is the ultimate place for dogs to be cared for - it’s Dottie’s place. Thank you for being amazing people.

100% recommend Dottie's pet care. The family are lovely and welcoming and put me at ease as I was worried leaving my dog for the first time. My dog was loving life there! She came home tired and had a good long nap! She loved playing with the families dog Dottie who is lovely. Definitely use this service!

We have been looking for a Doggy Day Care for our black lab for a while due to our previous one going on maternity and others just being a let down... Dottie and the family have made up for that lost time for our black lab. We met within such a short space of time of messaging and were accomidated so quickly, the fact we met the family and Dottie (and Freddie) just made us see how much they adore the dogs they care for and we started him straight away. My dog absolutely adores them all and recognises Dotties name of a morning when I say "should we go and see Dottie!?" Me and my partner couldn't be happier with the care Cole receives, his relationship with Dottie was meant to be! I also LOVE the pictures and videos I get sent, they make my day! Would recommend to absolutely anyone :-) Thanks for all you've done so far and what you will continue to do, we appreciate it!

Kathryn has looked after Teddy and taken him for walks for nearly 4 years now. He always has a great time and is made to feel very comfortable. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending 'It's a Dog Life Chorley' to anyone.

It’s a dogs life offers an amazingly professional yet friendly service to ensure your dog feels right at home when they stay. 100% recommended.

My two dogs absolutely love Kathryn (and all the rest of the It's a Dog's Life family) and they get so excited to see her when it's walk time. I know that my girls are in very safe hands and that they'll have fun going to different places each day, which we can see through the photos posted on Facebook. The care they get is fantastic and is especially reassuring if we leave them to go on holiday. Our only issue is that they never want to come home!

Kathryn and co give us (Alfie my cockapoo and I) a wonderful, caring, professional and super friendly service. Alfie is so happy with his walks and all the gang he gets to hang out with, and to chase around the many varied beautiful countryside walks with. Kathryn always tries hard to accommodate my often random and last minute arrangements and I would be lost without her flexible and friendly help. Love the daily photo updates from the walks too, enabling me to see what fun Alfie had on his walk whilst I was at work. I couldn’t recommend them highly enough!!

We cannot rate It's a Dog's life Chorley enough! We had Dean walking Milo for a year while we lived in the area, he was absolutely fantastic! We could see how excited Milo was when Dean came to pick him up! We loved seeing the photo's of the walks - he always got big walks in lots of different places. We could tell how much Dean love's the dogs, and loves doing what he does. We'll be so sad to move away- he's such a good dog walker!! Thank you Dean!

Kathryn and Dean are the nicest people and they treat each and every dog in their care as though they were their own. Our little dog loves her walks with them and her sleepovers too. A total home from home, couldn't ask for more.

My 2 dogs have been going with Dean for the last few years and they love him. They get so excited when they hear his van coming down the street. I couldn’t ask for a better dog walker. They go above and beyond for their customers and I would 110% recommend Dean and Kathryn

A fantastic service. Kathryn and Dean go above and beyond and every little detail is thought of and taken care of. You can’t put a price on peace of mind and it’s so reassuring to know my dogs are well looked after, loved and have endless fun on their walks. The home boarding service is a great addition. Can’t recommend these lovely people highly enough

I can't rate 'It's A Dogs Life' enough! Dean and Kathryn are AMAZING at what they do and are truly passionate. I wouldn't trust my boy Louie in the hands of anyone else but them. Very trustworthy, lovely people who go above and beyond. Highly Reccomend!

I can't rate Dean and Kathryn highly enough. Bramble loves her walks with Dean and I know that she really enjoys staying with them when we're away. They are a trusted extension of our family.

Katie is trustworthy, caring and so reliable. She is amazing with Kobi, he adores her and it completely puts my mind at rest knowing she's not only taking care of Kobi but also trusted with our house key. If you need an outstanding pet service that comes with lots of smiles and warmth, Katie is for you ❤️

Katie is a doggy guardain angel. I don't think I'd trust Max with anyone else. Max adores her and all his new buddies he's made at daycare. I love the fact we get daily updates with a raft of photos of the dogs daily activities and updates. He comes back knackered every time after a day full of fun and adventures. He's been with Katie from being a young pup and I credit her for helping him being so socialbe and playful with other dogs. Definitely the best decision we made contacting Katie for daycare.

We had other dog walkers and doggy daycare for our dog before we found Katie and she is 100% the best dog walker we have ever had. Our dog, Ruby can be quite anxious but Katie has such a natural empathy and understanding of dogs that she really gives her confidence and reassures her. Ruby absolutely loves Katie and is so happy when she hears her van outside. I would have no hesitation in recommending Katie to any dog owner. She takes the time to get to know each and every dog in her care and treats them as her own.

Katie is amazing with our dog, she very reliable and has gone above and beyond many times. I am actually suspicious our dog may love her more than she does us. Amazing dog walker.

Katie is simply the best at what she does and a such a beautiful human to go with it! As soon as my dog sees her, he cannot contain his exitement! He loves every minute of his time with her and I would not trust anyone else more xx

Lexi has been going to Katie since she was 16 weeks old and has thoroughly loved it. She is now 6 and whilst she doesn't go as much now, as we are retired, she still goes when we are on holidays.Katie has always been professional and caring and I wouldn't trust my baby with anyone else 👏👏👏 …

I have complete trust in Katie, she truly cares and has the well-being of each animal she cares for at heart. This cannot be said of all pet sitters. My cats have been happy and content in her care and they haven’t been stressed when we have been away on holiday. I cannot recommend Katie enough .

Would always recommend Katie, dogs are always well looked after and well exercised. Our dog loves going! She treats them as her own, provides regular updates and pictures. id trust her 100% with my dog, her house is like his 2nd home 👌🏽🐶 …

I have 4 dogs and have used Katie’s pet care a couple of times for over night stays while I’ve been away. Brilliant service , sends photos and video updates if wanted. Good price and have booked again. Highly recommended!

I wasn't going to leave a review but as I have now tried to find a new day care / dog sitter who wouldn't take us as we had "fallen out" with Katie I feel like people should know we don't allow her to look after our dog anymore .. (my partner cannot do this review as she has been blocked from the page.) Katie came for our dog in the morning he was the first pickup , I went with her to the van (normally she would collect him from inside the building ) She placed my dog in a cage that had faeces in ... I don't know why but I didn't say anything as I was shocked , I thought about it all day and in the evening I asked her , she got quite aggressive and said it was not faeces and that it was sick !!!!! ... This is just as bad it carries just as many germs .. Either way it was not acceptable and rather than just calming the situation argued with me .I am not unreasonable and understand that maybe she was running late (which sadly was another problem we found on a regular basis) or had missed the cage and would have accepted that as a reason as we are only human and can make mistakes .. but no she argued .. so even though our little dog enjoyed his time out I cannot send him there anymore as I do not agree that my dog should lie in sick or faeces and that I should be answered back to after looking after my dogs best interests . This did happen a few months ago and as I said I wasn't going to write a review. However, having tried to find a new sitter, who before I told them my dogs name...already knew it, and that we had dealt with Katie before and also knew we had had issues with Katie. So I now feel like we have been talked/gossiped about on a group chat that all the local dog sitters are on (that another sitters has told us about). So due to the lack of hygiene in Katie's van and the fact we have been blacklisted , we are the ones who suffer as we cant use any local people. God knows what has been said about us .

Our German pointer has just had a wonderful overnight stay at Claire's. He was dropped of early in the day as requested by Claire so she could get to know him and do fun things together. We picked him up the next day and he was happily playing in the garden with other dogs who were staying. We could tell he had been well looked after and came home very tired with all the fun he'd been having! Claire is a real dog lover and we would happily have Claire look after Barney again.

We were recommended Claire from a friend. We were hesitant to leave her as our Greyhound is a rescue and suffers from separation anxiety. However, Claire was fabulous with her. She loved her stay and we are now very confident that she will be spoilt rotten whenever she visits. Thank you Claire x

What more can we say about Claire. From going for our first visit, to dropping both my dogs off, we was greeted with her garden all ready for a play day. She's such a lovely lady with a passion to make your dogs stay comfortable and safe. Well definitely be using Claire again. Thank you Claire. 🐶💙🐶💙 xx

Claire treated my dog as if she was her own and I know that she had a great time staying with her. We got some excellent advice and we know that she was given all the attention she needed as if she was at home. Wouldn't hesitate to use her again for any of our doggy needs!

Memphis had a lovely time with Claire for 2 weeks while we where away. It only takes seconds to see the Claire loves dogs and takes good care of them. When we where away we knew Memphis was in a home making doggy friends playing with them and Claire rather than being in a pen in kennels.

Jodie, my Doberman, has just spent 3 weeks with Claire while we have been on holiday. Claire kept us updated with pictures & videos all the time we where away & Jodie came back happy. Jodie will definitely be staying with Claire in future.

Excellent for boarding, our two cockers had a fantastic time. The dogs come first here, Claire is so good with them. Will be using again soon. Highly recommended 😁 …

We have been using Clare for our Staffordshire Bull Terrier for a couple years now and I am so grateful we found her! She is reliable, caring and my dog adores going to her house for sleepovers. Would recommend 👌

Claire did an excellent job on my springer. Definitely use her again. Highly recommended

Claire is a superstar, loves her job loves our two shitzhus.

A absolutely fab place, we book Amber in when we get the chance to go abroad. She loves going and all the family love her it's lovely to know that all the family are dog friendly. Jackie is amazing she just doesn't love your pooch and take them out everyday, feed them, groom them,toy time & sofa cuddles she sends you texts on how they are doing and photos of them either out on a walk or in the garden or all snoozing shattered on the sofas. Amber loved it, I was panicking as Amber is literally by my side all day but I needn't have worried, they was superb with her. Highly recommended. Some of the photos we received whilst away.. perfect x

Janet is lovely and takes good care of her animals. Would highly recommend.

Great place

My dog Rolo has recently started being seen by Jon at Gradwells Pet Care. As you can see by the picture Jon took of him you can see how much fun he has with him and the other dogs. Jon is great as he works around my shifts which makes it easier for me. Would highly recommend every day of the week

Definitely recommend, my cats were looked after in their own home so less stress for them, 2 visits per day and regular updates and photos helped me as an owner. Will definitely use again

Jon was very attentive to us taking care of our cat for 5 weeks. Came to our house before we travel to ensure the work will be done properly. Very kind and we will use his services again. Always updating and sending pictures to us. Thank you for being so lovely!

Jon has been fabulous with our dog Boo. He is reliable, punctual and Boo always looks forwards to his walks. Would defo recommend. Thanks, Faye.

Our dog loves her walks with Jon and we really appreciate Joh’s ability to accommodate our individual arrangements. It is lovely to receive pictures and updates from the walks. We trust that our dog is in reliable and caring hands with Gradwells Pet Care.

Jon is amazing. He visits my two kitties every day when I'm away, and sends me pictures and messages so I know that they are both safe and happy. Would not trust anyone else to look after them. Highly recommended.

Harley absolutely loves her walks with Jon. The peace of mind you get knowing she’s in safe hands whilst you’re at work is priceless. Would recommend to anyone!

Jon is amazing. He took great care of our cat Poppy whilst we were away and when we arrived home she was very happy and settled thanks to Jon’s excellent care. It was the first time we had ever used Gradwells as we are new to the area and I was very impressed with how professional he was and also sent us photos of Poppy and kept us updated with how she was which was really reassuring. We will definitely be using him again. Thank you Jon. 😀

I have been using Gradwell pet care for a number of years now and fully recommend Jon as a dog walker. He has been caring for Henry now for some time and we feel very satisfied with his petcare service. Jon is professional, reliable and very flexible in the provision of extra walks when needed. Henry loves his walks and his friends and we regard Jon as part of our family. An excellent service which is highly recommended. Becky

We’ve been with Gradwell’s since our dog was a pup (over 2 years), can’t recommend highly enough! Super trustworthy, reliable and great with our dog. We’ve used Jon for walks and drop in pet visits, he always keeps us updated and sends great photos of our dog’s adventures with his pals!

Our puppy always has the best time here. He runs from the car all the way to the door each week, you can tell he is well looked after. Lots of picture updates, and comes home worn out from a good days play!

I cannot recommend doodles to highly. Run by wonderful, dedicated staff who love the dogs that attend. My dog is nervous and reactive and they have worked absolute wonders with her x

These people are truly amazing with our pets I have three dogs there right now they are happy and well-loved thank you guys for taking such good care of my babies

Great place, very friendly staff. Our little puppy loves it here.

Poppy loves it

Fantastic dog kennels my Leo stays here been couple times now it's absolutely fantastic they care greatly about there well being nothing is too much trouble the owners Julie and john are really lovely down to earth people well looked after my Leo who's old man 14 I thoughougly highly recommend them to anyone who loves there dogs like they do just fantastic this place really is such hard working genuine people many thanks Mrs baron ,Mr baron😀😀😀🐕🐶🦮🐕‍🦺

Never used this kennel before, but when I picked up my dog he was happy and healthy, and that’s all I could have wished for. He had a wash before coming home and smelt lovely! Will definitely be sending him back when needed. 😀 …

2nd Visit- Just picked up our two dogs after a weeks stay in Talbot house kennels, this is their 2nd stay here and they have both returned in the picture of good health. The Kennels are fantastic with 1st class amenities, all the staff are caring and very professional. We had regular correspondence while away which is reassuring, our dogs where well looked after and walked daily. We will absolutely recommend Talbot House Kennels to anyone who wishes their dogs to have the very best boarding experience. In my opinion, the best in the area! 😊

Took my cat Teddy in today to be groomed. Julie and her husband where absolutely amazing with him he is an indoor British Longhair so he doesn't go out so only use to me and him. You could tell he was so comfortable with them both. When I go away on my hols I won't hesitate to put him in the care of them thank you so much .🥰❤️

Lovely staff. I was in tears leaving my baby girl there even though it was only for 3 days and the staff were very caring and reassuring. They looked after her very well. Sent daily photos for me too, which I thought was very thoughtful. Very clean and professional. Will definitely go again. Its such a lovely place.

Went to check out the cattery here and found it very modern, purpose built, secure and immaculately clean. On the other hand, possibly a little "sterile" but was advised you can take whatever you like to dress your cat's enclosure. The lady we spoke to was very friendly, informative and reassuring leaving us feeling our cat would be safe and well cared for. Very impressed.

We took George our dog here whilst we went on holiday he’s 11 years old and diabetic they went over and above to make sure he ate his food as this is very important being diabetic even taking the food out on his walk which went down very well with George.every time I message to ask about his progress messages were replied to to quite promptly. I would definitely recommend this place to look after your fur babies 5 out of 5 for me

Absolutely fantastic! We have an old French bulldog and the team here really look after him, it proves that they really take care of him he goes crazy for water and I never told them that and when we picked him up they had been playing with him with the water which is brilliant to know, they really make an effort and this is so reassuring for us. Thanks once again. Eric always love staying with you guys 👍

Our cats were well looked after, and had plenty of space even though they were sharing. We were able to take plenty of their own toys and things to make it more homely for them. They were even remembered from their previous visit with their previous owners. A big paws up from Luna and Nala!

My nine month old kitten had his first weekend and then week away from us here, he stayed for a weekend a couple of weeks before, to get him used to staying there, he was a little shy at first, as he's only ever known us, due to all the lockdowns and restrictions, but down to the dedication and loving care of the amazing people there, he was soon rolling over having his belly tickled and chin stroked. I am a first time cat owner and am over protective/fuss too much over him, but they are animal lovers and understand this. The accommodation is roomy, so you can take your pet's toys/blankets/things that smell of home. It is cool here as there are tress close by that shade the Cattery, this was reassuring in the heatwave, but also heating for winter stays. I know my kitten and could tell how happy he was during his stay and when I picked him up. I would 110% use this place again and am already in the process of booking Marley's next stay (as soon as our hols are booked), in fact I don't want to go anywhere else now. I could see how happy my boy was when I carried him out and he was purring, lifting his head back, for chin strokes with everyone there.
