About Walk and Watch Pet Services

Walk and Watch Pet Services is a professional and reliable company specialising in the care of your pets.

Services provided include dog walking, pet sitting/home visits, rabbit, guinea pig and other small pet boarding, hutch assembly and pet taxi/transportation services, throughout the Lancashire and Greater Manchester areas but especially in Skelmersdale, Wigan, Ormskirk, Burscough, Parbold and surrounding areas.

Walk and Watch Pet Services has one thing that is central to their work, a real love of animals. That comes before everything and clients can be sure that your pets will be well looked after, first and foremost.

Dogs need a good walk at least once a day. It is essential for their physical and mental health and Walk and Watch Pet Services are happy to help clients to fulfill these needs. Dog walking is carried out on an individual basis, not in a group, and allows a real relationship to be formed.

The pet sitting service is a real alternative to kennels and catteries and is more and more popular. Pets can stay in their own comfortable surroundings and be visited as many times a day as needed. Of course, this service also helps clients have peace of mind that their home is secure while they are away. This service is also provided on a one-off basis if clients are working late for instance.

Walk and Watch's famous 'stay and play' policy is just that; they stay, they play and the pets love it.

Walk and Watch have recently built a new, purpose-built small animal hotel which is proving very popular. Many boarding facilities use breeder blocks of hutches in order to maximise the amount of animals that can be boarded, but Walk and Watch are different. The facility is equipped with individual, spacious hutches so that small animals are boarded in an environment that they are more used to. There are many large runs so that boarders can spend as much time as possible out of their hutch.

Walk and Watch Pet Services are experienced small animal owners and this expertise is invaluable for clients. Small animals that stay become part of the family and they go home happy, calm and looking forward to their next stay.

Following numerous requests for help, Walk and Watch Pet Services have recently introduced a new service; hutch, run and cage assembly help. A new hutch can be exciting but a flat-pack nightmare often is not. Walk and Watch are very experienced in assembly, even without instructions and clients value the ability to sit back and let someone else deal with the mess.

The pet taxi and transportation service is also invaluable. For clients who do not drive, a trip to the vets or groomers can be a logistical nightmare. Walk and Watch transport pets in a safe but friendly style and can even represent clients at appointments. Walk and Watch can also help for clients who are moving house. Pets can often become distressed when lots is going on; Walk and Watch can take this distress away.

Walk and Watch Pet Services has a happy and loyal customer base in the local area and beyond and are proud to say that each and every customer that have ever used their services has either used the services numerous times, booked in with them again or advised that they will use Walk and Watch again the next time they require services. There aren't many companies, in any industry, that have that level of customer satisfaction and Walk and Watch pride themselves on their ability to make their customers happy and retain them. Walk and Watch's customers are so happy with the service that not only do they give positive reviews, but many are willing to act as references.

A no-obligation consultation is always carried out prior to any service agreement.

Walk and Watch Pet Services is owned and run by Catherine Winstanley and Sandra Farrell who are CRB checked and fully insured, allowing clients complete peace of mind that your pets, and your home, are in safe hands. Catherine is a former police officer; clients can be doubly sure that Walk and Watch are willing and able to go the extra mile to keep your animals and property safe.

Walk and Watch work with vets, groomers and other pet service companies to provide pet owners with the best possible service. Walk and Watch also work with local charitable organisations to give something back to the community.

From the very outset I knew that this was a very professional service. Cath visited our home to meet our dog Lexie and discuss our needs. She came armed with all of the relevant paperwork and she asked the necessary questions to ensure that she knew our dog's likes and dislikes. It was quite clear that she is a true animal lover and Lexie was very comfortable in her company, in fact, it was as if she had known Cath all her life. I felt reassured that I had made the right decision in choosing Cath to walk her regularly. It is lovely to come home from work knowing that my dog has had a long stimulating walk. I can't recommend this service enough.

Employed Cath as our Alfie was not getting the exercise he needed. Cath came round to interview ourselves and Alfie, which I thought was truly professional, explaining how things would work. Alfie was initially reluctant to go with Cath on his first day, but now, two weeks on, he cant wait for 'Aunty' Cath to arrive. :-). Cath always arrives on time, and brings our boy back on time too. He is being well exercised and looks all the better for it! Thanks Cath, your work is truly appreciated. Karen and Darrin.

Cath provides a really professional and friendly service, and we always feel confident that our cat will be well cared for when we're away. The texts we receive from Cath only add to this feeling of reassurance. Thanks Cath, you're definitely a safe pair of hands!

We have a Cocker Spaniel called Jack who Cath takes out a few times a week. Cath has been walking Jack since January he thinks she is great and so do we. Nothing is too much trouble and she goes the extra mile. She is very professional and trustworthy. We know when Jack is in Cath's care he is extremely well looked after. We would highly recommend the service.

Cath has looked after my puppy Alfie on numerous occasions. She is dedicated and is very good with her training methods. I wouldn't leave Alfie with anyone other than Cath. Highly recommended.

Have used the services of Walk and Watch for various pets for sometime now. I always feel confident that the pets are safe and well cared for. Kath always manages to meet our needs at short notice which is fantastic! So confident in the service that I always recommend to friends and neighbours!

As of yet I have not had to use Caths service but rest assured she will be the one I call on when I do. I see her out regularly walking various dogs and my 2 absoulutley adore her, My newest rescue Sky bonded with her straightaway and she was extremely nervous and my grumpy old rescue Max goes to find her if he knows she is about and that alone is testament to how dog friendly she is (Max is 12 and a real loner). If anyone asks me if I know a dog sitter/walker I would not hesitate to recommend Cath. Off to look for a holiday now so I have a good excuse for Cath to walk my dogs xx.

Cath has been walking our dog for over twelve months and I can honestly say, we couldn't manage without her! Our dog absolutely loves her and jumps straight into her car when she arrives. Walk and Watch offer a great service and we would definitely recommend them if you need someone to care for your pet.

Our dwarf rabbit Toby spent his holidays at Walk and Watch Pet Services where he was very well looked after. We received regular texts confirming that Toby was settled and contented. We would certainly use the service again.

Cath helped me out at the last minute when I had to go away for 10 days. She was happy to meet my needs for cat sitting and I was very satisified with the service, the text updates and her obvious love of animals. My cat took to her straight away. I would recommend Cath and walk and watch pet sitting to anyone as you will have peace of mind that your pet is in good hands while you are away.

We used Walk and Watch Pet Services when our two dogs were going to be left on thier own for the majority of the day when we had a family event. One of our dogs is a rescue dog who is very nervous of strangers and his size means he can be quite intimidating. Cath did an exceptional job with him. She came and introduced herself, met the dogs, gained their trust and importantly gained ours too. I can't recommend this service highly enough. Our dogs were well walked, settled and calm. We'll be using Cath in the future without a doubt. If you love your dog, use this service.

I was all set to go on my holiday to Turkey and my son got called (the day before I flew)to go and work in Saudi -he was meant to be watching the dogs whilst I was away! I had never employed the services of a Dog Walking company so googled what was available in my area and read the reviews. I called Cath and she came to see me later that day. She met the dogs and I handed over the house key. My son's girlfriend came to stay whilst I was awy but she works long hours so I entrusted Cath with dog walking each day. She walked them in the most foul weather, cleaned them up and mopped the floors at home! I got a text message after each walk which set my mind at rest. I don't trust many people with my dogs but instantly knew I was leaving them in good hands. Excellent service, a friendly lady who obviously loves dogs - more importantly, they obviously loved her!Definitely worth a try. I've got their number stored in my phone now so Im sure I will be calling many times more in the future. Many, many Thanks from Helen, Molly and Syd.Moreexpand_more

I used walk and watch pet services to look after my dog beau after meeting Cath on a dog walk, the two dogs she was out with looked really happy. Cath and Sandra are very professional people who understood the needs and quirks of my dog Beau who is a bit funny with strangers, when she met them she took to them straight away and was all wagging tails. I saw Cath the other day she shouted beau and beau went crazy big fusses over her, the reaction beau gave towards Cath was confirmation enough for me that she is more than happy in her care. Enough said happy dog happy owners five stars all the way.

Cath has recently looked after our much adored pussycat Symi whilst we were on holiday. Symi is 2 years old and we have always placed him in a cattery. After every visit Symi has had to visit the vet as always had a very high temperature. (stress related I'm sure) Cath was marvelous, we had a daily update by text about Symi and on our return we found a very healthy, happy and contented baby boy. It;s lovely to be able to go away and feel at ease knowing our little Prince is in very safe and capable hands. Thanks, Cath.

Thank you Cath for walking my boys Rocky and Toby! You provide an outstanding service that is reliable and professional. I was so glad to find someone who lived locally with whom I could trust having previously had a bad experience. Knowing that the dogs are out with you on the days i'm at work really takes the stress out of things. They are always so happy when you have been. Receiving a text from you to tell me where you have walked and what times gives me reassurance. Thanks again Cath. I would recommend your service to anyone! Vanessa, Rocky and Toby.

This service is outstanding! We first met Cath after seeing the Walk and Watch website in August 2011. The reviews looked fantastic and we needed a reliable and trustworthy service. On our first consultation we were amazed that Cath knew so much about the Hungarian Vizsla breed and had clearly done her homework. Wall-e took to her immediately and he see’s her as part of our family now. We can only describe Cath as our Fairy Godmother. She is devoted to animals, knows how to handle and train our boy and it is such a relief to get that daily text saying Wall-e has had a great run and is home safe. Cath’s dedication to her customers is also second to none. We recently went through a family bereavement and needed extra walks with very little notice or had to cancel the service for that day as Wall-e was with us. Cath was understanding and flexible throughout and without Cath the stress of dealing with a Puppy and bereavement would have been unbearable. Cath is a true professional and we would not hesitate to recommend Walk and Watch Pet services to anyone who only want the best there is to cater for their adored furry or four legged family. Thanks to Cath, Clare and all at Walk and Watch. Ian, Cate and Wall-e.Moreexpand_more

Outstanding service! Cath walks my two dogs, Millie and George, twice a week while I am at work. On first meeting her both dogs fell in love (Millie is usually very wary of strangers! ) The dogs enjoy their walks and Cath always leaves them washed, rubbed down and comfortable. The text I receive after theri walk gives me peace of mind that the dogs are happy and settled back at home. The service is also flexible - Cath always accomodates changes in work hours if she can. I wouldn't hesistate to recommend this service - we had struggled to juggle work and walks for years and I just wish I had met Cath earlier!
