Your Dog’s Home Away from Home
I’ve been around dogs for many years and understand how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your pet. I have always had 1 or 2 dogs in my life since I was born. Currently my partner Angela and I, and our teenage sons have our own friendly 3 year old Labrador, Bailey, who is a much-loved member of our family. As a family, we provide a calm, loving home where dogs are treated like one of our own. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine and needs, so I’ll always take the time to get to know them and follow their normal schedule as closely as possible. Whether they enjoy long walks, shorter strolls, lots of play or simply relaxing with company, I’m happy to adapt to what makes them happiest.

Ratings and reviews
Calley and her family have looked after my dog for many years whilst I’ve been on holiday or weekends away. He has a great time there with plenty of exercise going for walks and playing with Bailey. Calley keeps me updated and sends me pictures of how he’s getting on. I would recommend Calley and her home to anyone asking where their dogs can go whilst they’re away.
I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Calley to anyone looking for someone to care for their dog. When Calley looked after our dog, Griff, it was clear from the start that he was in safe and caring hands. She has a natural way with animals and is incredibly patient, calm, and attentive. Griff settled in so quickly and absolutely loved spending time with Bailey. It was lovely to see them playing together, and Bailey’s friendly nature really helped Griff feel at home. Calley took the time to understand Griff’s routine, personality, and little quirks, making sure he felt comfortable and secure throughout his stay. Her secure garden, regular walks, and plenty of playtime meant Griff had lots of opportunities to exercise, play, and relax. What really sets Calley apart is how much she genuinely cares. She doesn’t just look after dogs—she treats them like part of the family. We felt completely at ease knowing Griff was happy, well cared for, and enjoying himself with Bailey. We wouldn’t hesitate to leave Griff with Calley again and would happily recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy pet sitter.
Calley is a kind, trustworthy, and genuinely caring pet sitter who treats every dog as if they were part of her own family. From the moment your dog arrives, their happiness, comfort, and safety are her top priorities. She takes the time to get to know each dog’s individual personality, routine, and needs, ensuring they feel relaxed and settled while they’re away from home. Whether it’s playtime in the secure garden, sticking to feeding schedules, providing plenty of cuddles, or adapting walks to suit each dog’s energy levels, Calley always goes the extra mile. With experience caring for her own Labrador, Bailey, she understands how important it is to leave your pet with someone you can trust. She provides a calm, loving home environment where dogs receive lots of attention and are never treated as “just another booking.” If you’re looking for someone who is reliable, responsible, and truly passionate about dogs, Calley is someone you can leave your pet with complete confidence, knowing they’ll be safe, loved, and well cared for until it’s time to come home.

Schedule
I work a few hours each morning from home completing administrative work in my role as a manager of a children’s home, which means I’m around to provide plenty of attention and care throughout the day. We have a secure, fully fenced garden where your dog will have regular access for toilet breaks, playtime and fresh air. Our own Labrador, Bailey is neutered and enjoys two walks each day. We’re happy to tailor walks to suit your dog’s usual routine and exercise needs. Occasionally, we may take dogs to a secure enclosed dog field so they can safely burn off some extra energy. If this is something you’re happy for your dog to do, we’ll discuss it with you beforehand, including how comfortable they are travelling in the car. We also have a cat, but she prefers to keep herself to herself and stays out of the home or in the conservatory, away from any visiting dogs, so they won’t need to interact. To keep dogs happy and entertained, we have plenty of toys, enrichment activities and even a dog paddling pool for warmer days. We also have a large crate available if your dog is crate trained, so there’s no need to bring your own. If your dog doesn’t use a crate, we’ll happily follow their usual sleeping and daily routine to help them feel safe, settled and right at home.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Your dog’s safety and wellbeing are my highest priorities. I know how important it is to leave your pet with someone you trust, so I’ll care for them as if they were one of my own. Our home has a secure, fully fenced garden where dogs can safely play and explore under supervision. Inside, they’ll have a comfortable, relaxed family environment with plenty of company, affection and opportunities to rest. Before every stay, I’ll take the time to get to know your dog’s routine, personality and any specific needs, including feeding, medication, exercise and sleeping arrangements. I’ll follow their usual routine as closely as possible to help them feel settled and at home. I’ll also keep you updated with regular photos and messages, so you can enjoy your time away knowing your dog is safe, happy and well cared for.

A typical day
Throughout the day, your dog will have regular opportunities to go outside in our secure garden, enjoy playtime, enrichment, and lots of fuss. Walks are tailored to your dog’s normal routine, and if appropriate, we may also visit a secure dog field for an extra run around. In the evening, it’s time to relax with the family, more cuddles, another toilet break, and a peaceful night’s sleep, ensuring your dog feels safe, comfortable, and right at home.
