About Us

PetStay North Lancashire Branch

Hello, we are David and Anne, with our dogs Poppy and Leo. Welcome to Petstay North Lancashire – serving Lancaster, Preston, Blackpool and surrounding areas.

We have been dog owners for many years and we know how difficult it can be to find the right care for your dog/s when you go on holiday or short trips away. At PetStay North Lancashire we offer our customers and their dog/s a professional and reputable home boarding service.

Why Choose PetStay North Lancashire

PetStay North Lancashire covers Preston, Lancaster, Morecambe and the surrounding areas including the postcodes LA1 to LA7, PR1 to PR5, and FY1 to FY8. We provide a home from home pet sitting service for your dog or dogs with a licensed and insured PetStay carer close by.

Your dog’s stay can be tailored to suit their needs whether it’s a preferred sleeping area or scheduled times for food and walks. And of course, your dog or dogs will get all the love and attention they get at home!

How PetStay Works

We allow our carers to look after up-to three dogs from the same household, all dog carers are strictly vetted, insured and adhere to the regulations as set out by DEFRA, to give you full peace of mind whilst you are away.

If you’re new to PetStay we’ll want to find out as much as we can about your dog – its character and personality, daily routines, eating, sleeping and exercise arrangements, likes, dislikes and any special quirks or requirements. This helps us find the perfect match from among our carers, and when we’ve done that we’ll arrange for you and your dog to meet the carer in their own home. If all goes well you’re ready to make your first booking. We’ll guide you through the booking process and provide you with a holiday list of essential items you’ll need to pack for your dog’s stay.

So if you would like to book a doggie holiday with us or find out more about our service, please get in touch on the numbers or email below. We look forward to hearing from you and providing the very best home boarding that North Lancashire has to offer.

We do all the hard work! Don’t worry about bookings as we will take care of them. We think it’s important for you to concentrate on all the fun of caring for a guest dog. As a PetStay dog carer, you will be covered by our licence and insurance meaning you can enjoy all the benefits of pet sitting our wonderful guest dogs without the headache of running a business!

Frequently Asked Questions about becoming a PetStay Carer

What are the requirements of becoming a carer?

You must be a genuine dog lover, have experience of looking after dogs and you need to be home during the day so you have plenty of time to give to the dogs you are caring for. You must have a secure garden and agree to abide by PetStay guidelines. You are allowed to have a dog of your own as long as your dog gets on with other dogs.

How are your carers vetted?

If you meet all the requirements listed above, we will come and visit you at your home. We will check the security of the garden, explain PetStay procedures and show you the guidelines each carer needs to follow. If you are happy with everything and we feel you would make a suitable PetStay carer, we would follow up a reference and arrange public liability insurance for you.

How many dogs can I look after?

Our service is on a one-to-one basis, so only dogs from the same household will stay with you. You are allowed to take up to three dogs from the same household, BUT you choose what you are happy with. We will ask you how many dogs you would like to look after and what sized dog/s you would be happy to care for.

Do I have to provide the food?

No, the owner will bring any food or treats for the duration of the stay. Any toys, bedding, medication and leads will also be brought.

Does the dog/s have to be vaccinated?

Yes each dog MUST have up to date vaccinations, have been wormed and treated for fleas. Proof of the vaccinations will be brought to the meeting and shown to you.

What about walking the dogs?

All dogs should be taken out each day for walks. When you have your meeting with the owners all routines, including the number and length of walks, will be discussed. The dog is only ever walked on a lead.

What if the dog becomes ill?

We/you would endeavour to contact the owner or the emergency contact. The owner or the emergency contact would be liable for any expenses incurred in taking the dog to the vet.

Will I be paid?

You will receive a daily allowance starting from £11.50 per day.

What happens next?

If you are interested in becoming a carer, please ring us for an informal chat and ask any questions or email us with your details and we will come back to you. You can also use the contact form on the ‘contact us’ tab. If we feel you are suitable we would then arrange to visit you at home.
