Pet sitting is my full-time career, which means your beloved pets are always my top priority! They aren't just a 'side project' to me—they get my undivided attention, a flexible schedule for walkies, and all the playtime they could wish for. Because Mike also works from home, your home will never feel empty. Whether it’s a midday snooze or an extra garden break, someone is almost always there to offer a friendly face and a cuddle. We want your pets to feel completely relaxed and loved in the comfort of their own home while you’re away. We’d love to chat about your pet's unique personality and how we can make their time with us feel like a little holiday of their own!" Why this works: "Beloved pets" and "Furry family": Using warmer nouns makes you sound like a true animal lover. "Friendly face and a cuddle": This is much more inviting than "consistent companionship." "A little holiday of their own": This frames your service as a positive experience for the pet, not just a necessity for the owner.

A typical day
We don't believe in a one size fits all approach. Instead, we let your pet’s energy, age, and habits lead the way! Whether they are a bouncy pup or a soulful senior, here is how we shape our day around them: Morning: Starting at Their Pace We begin the day exactly how your pet likes it, whether that’s an energetic morning trek through the local trails or a gentle stroll and a long sniff around the block. Once we’re home and happy, breakfast is served just the way they like it. Midday: Play, Rest, or Brainwork This is their time! For high energy dogs, we might have a fun game of fetch or tug of war. For those who prefer a quieter life, we offer gentle enrichment, brain games, or simply some peaceful companionship and cuddles. We keep our afternoons open to suit your pet’s mood. We might head out for another leg-stretch to explore a new local path, or simply enjoy some garden play and extra cuddles if they’d prefer a relaxing day at home. Evening: Winding Down Together We follow your preferred feeding and walking schedule to keep things consistent. We love a relaxed evening stroll to help everyone settle, followed by plenty of evening cuddles Night: Safe, Snug, and Secure Bedtime is all about comfort. We make sure everyone is tucked into their favorite sleeping spot, be it a cozy bed or a secure crate, with lots of reassurance and a final bedtime cuddle.

Reviews
Anne-Lise and Mike did a wonderful job house sitting and looking after our dog, Nola, while we were away. They were both very friendly, reliable, and clearly cared for Nola as if she were their own. We especially appreciated the regular photo and video updates, which gave us peace of mind and allowed us to see how happy and well cared for she was throughout our trip. We would happily recommend them and would love to have them look after Nola again in the future.
Anne-lise & Mike are the loveliest couple, who have now looked after our little dog Sadie a few times for us. Their warmth and caring nature allows us to enjoy our holiday without any concerns whatsoever. Anne-lise sends daily photos and very cute video compilations of Sadie’s day, which melts our hearts every time we watch them. We always look forward to seeing how happy and settled Sadie is in them 💕🐾 They clearly make a lot of effort to ensure Sadie has stimulation each day, as well as plenty of love and attention. We have already booked Anne-lise and Mike for next year, and wouldn’t hesitate in recommending them to any pet owner looking for reliable, dedicated, and considerate dog sitters. Thank you as always Anne-lise & Mike ❤️
This is the second time that the wonderful Anne-Lise and Mike have looked after our dogs. They are incredibly kind and caring, and we went away confident in the knowledge that the dogs were being well looked after. Communication was great throughout and we received lots of lovely photos and videos. We could not recommend them more highly.
As always, dogs have had a lovely time and perfect service from Anne-Lise and Mike. Thank you both again!! Xx
