Highlights
Pet care experience
Paws in Poole
March 2026: I’ve been a spaniel owner for 15 years - puppies through to seniors. I’ve had my working cocker, Frankie, since he was 8 weeks old and trained him myself. He’s now 5 and, like most spaniels, loves everyone! I have also looked after friend’s dogs over the last few years. Prior to Frankie, I rescued 2 male american cocker spaniels that had never been socialised. They certainly tested me but I learnt a lot from the experience. As a dog owner, when I’m looking for a sitter myself, I’m looking for someone who is capable, confident and calm. I need to feel a certain energy and know that my dog will be exercised safely and cared for with kindness. I can offer all of this. I can only consider dogs up to 18kg in weight.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Just used Anne for the first time. Millie had a fab time and had some lovely walks which we were sent pics and a video of. Can highly recommend and will definitely use Anne again.
Anne is a very conscientious and reliable person and I would definitely recommend her to look after your pet. I have left my spaniel, Willow, with Anne several times and have always been happy with the service. Willow is always happy to be left.
Anne is a family friend and has looked after our spaniel on many occasions over the last few years. The dogs have always got on well and Anne has always kept us up to date with photos, etc. giving us the peace of mind we need while away. Your dog will be in safe hands!

Schedule
I work from home for my husband’s business and can manage my own time. My day always starts with walking Frankie, sometimes in Upton Country Park and sometimes Hamworthy park. I’m out for another walk mid afternoon and if weather permits Frankie will spend part of the day mooching around the garden. I’m fine with special requirements and I can accommodate short walks for seniors if required.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have a fully secure, large garden. Also, plenty of space indoors, a large kitchen diner and a utility room. I have a puppy pen and a large crate if required. Frankie has been sleeping in his bed in the corner of my bedroom but my preference would be for him to sleep downstairs if he has a companion.
Pets
A typical day
We’ll do plenty of park and beach walking. Frankie enjoys find the treat games which we play both inside and out, so hopefully your dog will participate too!
