Highlights
Pet care experience
Experienced pet owner 🐾
I’ve been around dogs all my life and have plenty of hands-on experience with different breeds, ages and personalities. I’m very comfortable around dogs and understand that every dog has their own routine, needs and little quirks! My husband and I have our own Cocker Spaniel, Maggie, who is nearly 4. She’s very sociable and used to having other dogs in our home. We love countryside walks, trips to the beach and, just as importantly, lazy evenings and cuddles on the sofa. I’ve raised and trained dogs from puppies, including toilet training, basic commands and lead walking, and I’m happy to keep up with any training or routines you have at home during their stay. I’ve also previously looked after dogs through Rover, including dogs staying with us for both short and longer periods. I know it can feel strange leaving your dog with someone else, so I’ll always make sure they’re settled, comfortable and treated as part of the family, with plenty of photos and updates for you while you’re away. As we have Maggie at home, any dogs staying with us will need to be friendly and comfortable around other dogs. I’m currently offering weekend stays, perfect for weekends away, short breaks or special occasions.

We left our dog for just over a week and she had the best time, she’s not normally used to other people especially for a week but she settled in straight away. we got updates and pictures the whole time. She was walked everyday and well looked after, I 100% recommend this service

Schedule
Your dog will fit right into our routine alongside Maggie, with plenty of walks, playtime and cuddles on the sofa! We love getting out for countryside and beach walks, but we’re just as happy having a relaxed day at home depending on what your dog is used to. We’re happy to follow your dog’s usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding and walk times. If they prefer one-to-one attention or separate walks from Maggie, we’re more than happy to accommodate this too.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
We have a gated driveway and a fully fenced back garden, giving your dog a safe and secure space to enjoy outside. Someone is always at home during weekend stays, so there are plenty of opportunities for toilet breaks, attention and company throughout the day. We take Maggie on daily walks and have some lovely routes nearby, including the coastal path, beach and local woods. We’re happy to tailor walks to your dog’s usual routine, age and energy levels. Our home is relaxed and dog-friendly, and we want visiting dogs to feel as comfortable here as they do at home. We also have a large bathroom with a bath, so if your dog gets particularly muddy on one of our adventures, we can get them cleaned up! My husband, Joe, is also listed on my profile as an additional caretaker and will be involved in caring for your dog during their stay.
Pets
A typical day
A typical day starts with a quick toilet break first thing, followed by some morning cuddles before heading out for a walk. Our morning walk is usually around 30 minutes, either along the coastal path or around our local area. Once we’re home, it’s breakfast time followed by a relaxed morning – Maggie will usually spend most of it snoozing! In the afternoon, we like to include some mental stimulation with a LickiMat, Kong, toys or games, as well as plenty of attention and playtime. In the evening, Maggie has her dinner around the same time as us, and we’ll usually head out afterwards for a longer walk of around an hour, often down to the beach. Then it’s home to settle down and relax for the evening. This is simply the routine that works for our own dog. Every dog is different, so we’re more than happy to adapt our day around your dog’s usual feeding times, walks, exercise needs and routine to help them feel as at home as possible.

- Please let me know in advance about any additional needs, routines or behaviours your dog has that I should be aware of so I can make their stay as comfortable as possible. As we have our own dog at home, visiting dogs must be friendly and comfortable around other dogs. Unfortunately, we’re also unable to accept unneutered male dogs.
