I quite simply, just love animals.

Pet care experience

Since a young age, I have grown up with pets: birds, a rat, rabbits and my favorites cats and dogs. Growing up in Zimbabwe. we have had a range of dogs throughout my life, Jack Russells, Rottweilers, cocker spaniels, Boston terriers and rescue dogs - all who I have loved so much. I still have my two beautiful Bostons at home and two wonderful rescues. When we holiday in Mozambique you will almost certainly find me playing with the beach dogs. I also have experience volunteering at an animals sanctuary, where you can find a range of exotic animals as well as the ‘waggly tail’ club made up of many dogs - you can find them on Facebook if you want to see some of their amazing work (The Twala Trust Animal Sanctuary). Here in the UK I often look after my partners dogs, they are border terriers. My partner and I live together, his name is James, he is also fantastic with dogs and loves the walks and snuggles. We both love dogs and find their company unmatched. Joining Rover was so we could spend time with dogs as we are not ready for our own yet and this is the perfect interlude, I would love to get you know your dogs too - I can assure you they will be treated like royalty in our home.

Hettie had the BEST time…literally didn’t want to leave! Amy sent updates throughout the time Hettie was with them and at each point she looked like she was having the best time. Would definitely rebook! Can’t recommend enough! Thank you!

Isla had a lovely stay with Amy and James, I don’t think she wanted to come home after! They were brilliant and sent us pictures/updates during her stay. Would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a proper home away from home experience for their dog ?

Amy did a brilliant job of looking after out 8 month old Viszla. Lots of photos to reassure us that he was happy. He had 2 walks and a lot of fun playing ball. He seemed so chilled and had obviously had an amazing time. Will definitely use Amy and James again.

Safety, trust & environment

I am more than happy to share the sofa with a kitty or doggy, we have a lovely garden to play in and are surrounded by fields to do beautiful walks in. Depending on the needs of the dog, I have had some that sleep on the bed with James and myself or on their bed in our room, otherwise we can let them sleep downstairs or in the hall - we have space for a crate if that is the routine your pooch is used to also. My home will be their home, and we can hopefully recreate an environment they feel comfortable in.

Information Amy & James v. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog has any special needs, if there is any medication. Also who your dogs vet is, I also like to know any history that may be useful should something happen and I need to call the vet. Pet insurance is also good to know. Additional requests: Meal times Meal size Likes and dislikes Special treats Anything they are scared are Sleeping arrangements If we are out walking do they need to be on a lead? Or will the come when called? Are they ok with other dogs/cats?

A typical day

Living right near some beautiful fields and a stream, there is opportunity for some lovely walks and if it’s warm a nice cool off in the stream. If your pup also likes to play fetch - I have a very good throw and can play for hours. We can then come home and curl up on the sofa for some snuggles and tv. Happy to do baths if we have gotten a bit muddy!

I am a primary school teacher who loves looking after animals in her spare time, before and after school and all through weekends, half term and school holidays. My work hours are from 8-3:30 but I can easily pop home in lunch breaks and occasionally, depending on the animal, work will let us bring pets to school to stay in the office. I can offer morning walks and evening walks. I am also very lucky to have friends near by that can do check ins if I am at school.
