Priorities: Security and affection

I've been around dogs from an early age, training them from puppyhood all the way. I have a 13 year old Jack Russell now, who's been with me since she was 12 weeks old. She accompanies me on residential bookings. I'm sure she'd happily write me a glowing review if she could, but suffice it to say, she's a happy, healthy, secure little soul. I’ve used Rover myself, and so am very clear on what sort of things would be important to you as an owner. Pup and I can do long or short bookings as our schedule and deadlines in life are time based, rather than location based, and although Rover limits our search area to 60 miles, we can travel further afield for substantial bookings.

Safety, trust & environment

I'm very happy to be instructed in exactly how you would like your pet to be cared for, and will replicate their usual schedule as closely as you want me to. I'm particularly concerned with safety and physical security, closely followed by affection and emotional security. I aim for there to be nothing missing from your pet's life during your break except you!

Carly took great care of Mylo and Meeko while we were away for 18 days. She followed all their routines, including giving Mylo his Apoquel every morning, and sent me lovely photos and updates every morning and evening, which was so reassuring while we were away. Mylo is quite an anxious boy and only really opens up to people once he trusts them, so I was really happy to see how quickly he became comfortable with Carly and even started going to her for attention. Meeko absolutely adored her and seemed to spend half the holiday on her lap! I was getting slightly jealous of some of the photos! 😂 We came home to two happy, relaxed dogs who had clearly been very well looked after. I would happily have Carly look after them again. ❤️

Carly was very professional from our first meet up. We have a 17 year old dog and she looked after him perfectly. We could enjoy our holiday knowing he was in safe hands. She was so kind with him. Would not hesitate to use Carley again

Carly looked after our three year old working cocker spaniel who has tons of energy and can be a little anxious. He had a great time with Carly and her dog Pup! We really appreciated the twice daily updates and we got home to a very happy dog. We would definitely recommend Carly and will certainly book her again!

One of my dogs is not the easiest, I was amazed at how at ease so early on he was with Carly. She has a natural ability with dogs. She looked after our animals so well and also respected our home and looked after that too. I was nervous leaving the animals but she made us feel at ease with regular updates and easy nature. Cannot recommend her highly enough.
