For pet parents, one of the hardest things about going to work each day is wondering what your dog will get up to while you are gone. At Pawshake, we understand that dogs need activity and interaction during the day, so why not book your dog with one of our trusted sitters in Darwen for a doggy day care service? You can drop your dog off at the sitter’s home on the way to work or organise with your local Darwen Pawshake sitter to pick up and drop off your dog for you.

Pet day care is a great way to keep your dog mentally and physically active during the day so that you can come home to a happy, relaxed dog. Pawshake’s home day care service is great for young dogs who need constant supervision: puppy daycare allows your pup to maintain a consistent routine, which is important during the toilet training process. It’s also a great option for dogs who need extra care and attention, or those who are extra active.

Our sitters who offer doggy day care and puppy daycare services are more adaptable than your average big day care centre. Numbers are kept small and some Pawshake sitters will only take in one dog at a time. This means they can work around your timing and any special requirements your dog may have. So, let your four-legged best friend enjoy their day with a fun and loving Darwen sitter who will shower them with love and dedicated attention. On top of that, you will also get photos and updates during the day so that you can follow your dog’s day care adventures!

Every day care booking also comes included with The Pawshake Guarantee, which includes veterinary coverage, customer service support 7 days a week and more.

(Currently accepting new weekly dog walks)
Hey there, I’m Vikki  

Dogs have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember, and I’ve been caring for dogs and other pets professionally for over 22 years. I know how difficult it can be to leave your much-loved pet with someone else, which is why I make every stay feel as safe, relaxed and homely as possible.

Your dog won’t simply be “looked after” here — they’ll become part of the family. ️

I work from home 7 days a week, so your dog will have plenty of company, attention and supervision throughout the day rather than being left alone for long periods.

 Beautiful countryside walks on my doorstep
 A super friendly family doggy who loves making new friends
️ 22+ years of professional pet-care experience
️ Qualified in Canine First Aid
 Canine Behaviour certified
 Experienced with medication and additional care needs
 Experienced with puppies, seniors, nervous, anxious and reactive dogs
 A calm, loving home-from-home environment

Every dog is different, so I never believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. I’ll follow your dog’s normal routine as closely as possible, including their usual feeding times, walks, sleep routine, medication and any special requirements.

I have extensive experience caring for dogs of different breeds, ages, personalities and needs — including dogs who are nervous, anxious, reactive or require extra patience and understanding. My priority is always helping your dog feel safe, comfortable and happy while they’re away from you.

I’m also happy to administer medication when required, including medication that can sometimes be more challenging to give.

 Lots of love, exercise &amp; companionship
With beautiful countryside walks right on my doorstep, your dog can enjoy plenty of fresh air and exercise suited to their age, energy level and normal routine. Whether your dog loves a long adventure or prefers a gentle stroll and lots of cuddles, I’ll make sure their care is tailored to them.
My own dog is incredibly friendly and loves meeting new four-legged friends, so if your dog enjoys canine company, they’ll have a ready-made best friend! 

 More than just dogs
I also offer check-ins and feeding visits for other small pets, so if you have cats, rabbits or other furry family members who need some TLC while you’re away, please feel free to ask.
I’m also a Butternut Box Brand Ambassador and am always happy to share information about fresh dog food if you’re interested.

 Before your booking
For the health and safety of all dogs in my care, I kindly ask that dogs are up to date with their vaccinations, flea treatment and worming.
Before your pet stays with me, I’ll also ask about:
• Their usual routine and feeding schedule
• Exercise and socialisation preferences
• Any medical conditions or medication
• Anxieties, triggers or behaviours I should be aware of
• Emergency contact details
• Anything else that helps me understand what makes your dog happy and comfortable

Most importantly, I treat every dog as if they were my own. ️
I’d love to hear about your dog, their personality and what they enjoy. If you’re looking for someone experienced, caring and genuinely passionate about animals, please get in touch — I’d be delighted to meet you both! 

Hi! I’m Shirls – Your Trusted Pet Sitter 

I’ve been around dogs since I was a child, and animals have always been a big part of my life. To me, pets aren’t just animals — they are family. I treat every pet I meet with the same love and care I give to my own.

I’ve also volunteered as a foster family with Dogs Trust, helping to care for dogs in need of a temporary home.

I absolutely adore animals and believe they bring so much joy and warmth into our lives. You can check out my Instagram account; Keikoo2025 to see how much I enjoy spending time with them!

I currently have a rescue dog from Romania. He’s two and a half years old and full of energy! I feel so lucky to have him in my life — he brings me so much joy every single day.

I’ve also done some basic training activities with the dogs and their owners — feel free to check out my Instagram for more!

I would be honored to take care of your dog when you need someone you can trust. Whether it’s for a walk, playtime, or just keeping them company while you’re away, I’ll make sure your furry family member feels loved and safe.

Looking forward to meeting you and your pup soon! 


I am DBS checked, fully insured and qualified in dog first aid and CPR.

All dogs booking in boarding within my home need to be up to date with fleeing and worming.

Hello! My name is Vanessa, and I am a dedicated pet lover with five years of experience in dog ownership and pet sitting. My motivation comes from a passion for animals; I find caring for them incredibly fulfilling, as I value the bond and trust built with a pet in my care.
I currently work from home, which means I am almost always available to provide your pet with the optimal attention they deserve. Because my professional life is home-based, your pet will never feel lonely and will fit seamlessly into my daily routine of walks, playtime, and companionship.
Safety and comfort are my top priorities. I live in a spacious two-bedroom flat where pets are welcome on the furniture and in every room. I want them to feel as relaxed as they do in their own home. For outdoor time, I have a large, high-fenced yard and garden that remains securely locked at all times, offering a safe environment for exercise and play without any risk of escape.
As a doctor(although no longer practicing) , I bring a unique level of observation to pet sitting. I am observant  to changes in behavior and can spot physical or emotional abnormalities quickly, ensuring your pet is not only happy but healthy. Whether it’s long runs, maintaining hygiene, or just providing a calm presence, I am committed to treating your pet like family
My dogs are back home,  very far away and I miss them so dearly so having pets around me really does bring me a form of comfort 

Walking dogs brings immense joy to my life and allows me to build special bonds with every furry friend I meet. Each walk—whether an energetic run in the park or a peaceful stroll through the neighborhood—is tailored to the unique needs of each dog. I take pride in ensuring every pet feels loved, safe, and happy. Their wagging tails and cheerful barks are daily reminders of the joy dogs bring into our lives. I’m committed to offering reliable, affectionate, and enriching walks that turn our time together into little adventures.
I’m a lifelong animal lover with several years of experience caring for dogs, cats, and even the occasional rabbit and parrot! Whether it’s playtime, walks, or quiet cuddles, I always do my best to make pets feel safe, happy, and loved. I understand that every animal has its own personality, and I’m great at adjusting to their needs. I’d be honored to care for your furry friend like they were my own!
