Loving & Experienced Pet Sitters

We have over 30 years of experience caring for dogs of all breeds and sizes, from German Shepherds and Rottweilers to our beloved Shih Tzus, Rolo and Wispa, who were part of our family for 14 wonderful years. Having retired, we now have plenty of time to give your dogs the love, care, and attention they deserve. Your furry friend will be treated like part of the family, spoiled with cuddles, walks, and plenty of one-on-one time. We understand the needs of different breeds, from pups to senior dogs who need a little extra care. The grandchildren visit once a week, so your dog will also get the chance to enjoy some extra attention (and belly rubs!). We know how important it is to leave your pet with someone you can trust, and we’d love to welcome them into our home while you’re away.

Christine and Ray were fantastic with Ivan our schnauzer,you could tell on meeting them they love dogs. They provide a great environment for any dog and plenty of walks and regular updates to let you know your your pet is being well cared for, I would have no problem leaving Ivan in there care again.

Just perfect - a real home from home for our sausage dog. She loves her time with Christine and Ray which means we can relax and enjoy ourselves knowing she’s happy. Cannot recommend enough.

Christine & Ray are a lovely couple and Tyson felt relaxed almost immediately at our meet & greet. He was well looked after, including cuddles during his stay and it was evident in photos and videos that he was very happy. Highly recommended.

Schedule

As retirees, we have plenty of time to dedicate to caring for your dog, ensuring they get all the attention, exercise, and companionship they need. Our day typically starts with a morning walk, followed by plenty of playtime, cuddles, and relaxation throughout the day. We love spending time outdoors, so if your dog enjoys walks and fresh air, they’ll have plenty of opportunities to explore. For dogs who prefer a more relaxed pace, there’s always a cosy spot on the sofa for naps and belly rubs. Mealtimes and routines will be followed exactly as you set them, ensuring your dog feels at home. In the evenings, there’s more time for play, another walk if needed, and lots of affection before settling in for the night. Once a week, our grandchildren visit, providing even more love and attention for dogs who enjoy being around children. Your pet will always be part of our daily routine, receiving the same care and affection as our own beloved dogs.

Safety, trust & environment

We offer a peaceful, pet-friendly home with plenty of space for your dog to relax and feel at ease. We have a secure, enclosed garden where they can play safely, and we always supervise outdoor time. Walks are tailored to your dog’s energy level, whether they love long strolls or gentle potters. We maintain their usual routine, including feeding schedules, medication (if required), and bedtime habits to help them feel at home. If we’re caring for your dog in your home, we ensure they stick to their familiar routine, keeping stress to a minimum while you’re away. We respect your space, maintain cleanliness, and provide regular updates so you have peace of mind. We have years of experience with all breeds and temperaments, from energetic puppies to older dogs needing extra care. With us, your furry friend will always be safe, well-loved, and treated like family.

A typical day

We start the day with a morning walk, tailored to your dog’s needs. After breakfast, there’s plenty of time for play, cuddles, and attention. Throughout the day we provide them with whatever they need whether it’s another walk, or playtime. If your dog loves a snooze, they’ll have a cozy spot to curl up and relax. We also make sure to keep them engaged with toys, games, and plenty of interaction. As the day winds down, there’s time for a final walk or some relaxed play before settling in for the night. Whether your dog enjoys curling up for cuddles or simply resting in a quiet space, we make sure they feel comfortable and loved. Throughout the day, we follow your dog’s usual routine, ensuring they feel safe, happy, and right at home. Plus, we send regular updates and photos, so you can relax knowing they’re in great hands!

Please let us know if your pet has any special needs, including medication, dietary requirements, or any specific care instructions, so we can ensure they feel comfortable and well looked after. If your dog has a particular routine, favorite toys, or a special blanket that makes them feel at home, we encourage you to bring them along. Keeping their routine as normal as possible helps them settle in quickly and feel safe. We also appreciate any information about their temperament, socialization with other dogs, and any quirks or behaviours we should be aware of. Whether they love extra cuddles, prefer their own space, or have specific exercise needs, we’ll make sure they receive the best possible care tailored to them.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
