Pet care experience

Family home petsitters, nothing but love and care.

Sign up for Rover via my link to get £15 off your first booking!https://www.rover.com/sit/ankeh64694 As a family, me and my husband Dennis have had our fair share of pets so we know your pets will feel safe and protected with us. That we can guarantee you our utmost responsibility will be to give your pet love, attention, patience and feel part of our family...while having bundles of fun! "OUR DAILY WORK WITH PETS ISN'T JUST ABOUT MONEY ITS OUR WAY OF LIFE". Our daughter Sophia is 7 years old and from now on she proves to be a pet lover since in the future she wants to be a vet. All the dogs we care sleep with me and my husband Dennis in our bed, but if you don't want it to, just let me know. We can give your pet shower and hairdresser service completely free if you want. We are committed that our home will be like your home while you are away. You can have peace of mind and enjoy your holiday by receiving videos and photos throughout the day. As personal experience, when there has not been vets available, I have had to help deliver puppies and kittens, in moments of extreme emergency when lives were in danger. That is why I can say I have the courage to face any adversity in a controlled and calm.

Doggy Day Care • Jun 06, 2026

Anke and Dennis are great dogsitters and we feel really comfortable leaving Marcell with them knowing he will be well taken care of and have a great time playing with the other dogs! They are flexible and have been accommodating with last minute requests around my work schedule. Thanks to you both!

I honestly couldn’t recommend Anke enough. From the moment I met Anke and the family for a meet and greet I felt completely reassured knowing that my girls were going to be cared for in such a loving, clean safe environment. Harmony was very shy and nervous at the beginning of her stay with Anke and her family but I was informed although she was not engaging that she will do in her own time. The calm, patient reassurance, that I received, telling me that Harmony will be fine was comforting. My girls were treated like part of Anke's own family, and it showed in the updates that I received. I was sent daily photos and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind. They were also incredibly accommodating and went above and beyond in every way. Both Lily and Harmony were bathed during their care of Anke and the family and one of the sweetest touches was their hair was brushed into little ponytails — it was obvious how much care and attention that my girls had given. The energy, compassion, and genuine love Anke and her family has for what they do is truly special. You can tell this isn’t just a service to them; they genuinely care for every dog as if they were their own. I am so grateful. Stinky kisses from Lily and Harmony 🐶❤️🐶❤️

Doggy Day Care • May 31, 2026

Anke and Dennis are dog lovers who took great care of Marcell and sent lots of pictures and videos. We were worried that it was too much for him to play in the garden in the heat; Anke and Dennis took our concerns on board and made sure the rest of his stay was relaxed and cool. Thanks to you both!

Schedule

I'm a housewife that's why I have a lot of time to spend on your pet. My husband Dennis also works from home and he is an excellent petsitter too. His schedule allows him to help me with pets at home. We are committed that OUR HOME WILL BE LIKE YOUR HOME while you are away. When your dog first arrives, we take extra care to help them settle in and feel at home. Whether it's a gentle introduction to the space or extra cuddles, we make sure they feel safe and comfortable right from the start.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a big fenced back garden for your dog to wonder. There are lots of green areas around for our walks where similarly other pet owners walk there dogs in a safe and calm environment. More than 2.000 dogs are stolen every year in the UK which is why we will be very focused when we go outside with your doggy. Every dog is unique, and understanding their specific needs helps us provide the best care.

A typical day

I would get acquainted with your dog, take your dog exploring in the woods. Your dog will get great exercise with us, while at the same time a peaceful relaxing time at home. All this while your pet is treated with a lot of love and "REAL LOVE" A typical day is all about balance. We'll have plenty of fun in the garden, with games and playtime to get them moving, followed by a walk to a nearby park where they can explore and stretch their legs. If your dog is more of a couch potato or needs a break after all the excitement, we've got cozy spots where they can rest and relax. We stick to their feeding schedule and keep things familiar, with plenty of snuggle time in between. In the evening, we wind things down with a relaxing walk before settling in for the night. Every day is designed around your dog's personality and needs, making sure they get just the right mix of play, exercise, and downtime.

Let me know what your dogs needs are and I can accommodate to your preferences. I can cater for all your dogs needs, likes and dislikes. Please let me know if your pet has food allergies or symptoms such as itching, diarrhea, or vomiting. Food allergies are more common in young dogs whose proteins such as chicken, beef, dairy and wheat are the most common allergens. One of the symptoms of detachment in dogs is anorexia but we will strive to get your baby to eat properly during your absence. We want your dog to feel right at home and stick to their usual routine. Please let us know about any special needs,medications, walk routines, feeding schedules, or behaviors we should be aware of, as well as the commands they respond. We also kindly ask that flea treatments and vaccinations are up to date.
