Experienced / Animal Lovers

I've been an animal lover for as long as I can remember! Growing up, my family had a whole zoo of pets—including dogs, a cat, rabbits, gerbils, hamsters, chickens, ducks, rats, a chameleon, and all sorts of reptiles. Caring for animals has always been second nature to me. We have our little Yorkipoo, Nova, who absolutely loves making new doggy friends—especially fellow small pups. So if you have a little one who needs care, we’re small dog specialists! Whether it’s cuddles, playtime, or just good company, your pup will feel right at home with us.

Doggy Day Care • Juni 05, 2026

Demelza is brilliant and incredibly caring with my clingy Cavapoo. She was also really flexible with drop off and pick up times as well which I'm very grateful for as I have a hectic work schedule.

Demelza, Huw and Nova were very welcoming and accommodating of our short notice booking. They were very laid back and flexible. Copper came home a very tired boy which is always a good sign.

Susie was very happy with Demelza and Hew. Would most definitely recommend and use ourselves again.

Demelza and Huw were so lovely and welcoming to my little dog. I felt like they really listened to all of my requests and cared about him like he was one of their own. Really happy I found them!

Once again our Trudy girl was in the very best of care with Demelza! We feel so at peace knowing she is being so well looked after and loved while we are away. It feels as though Trudy gets her very own holiday in their care. We can’t thank you enough!

Mel & Huw are FANTASTIC. They took such good care of our whippet puppy, lots of lovely walks and photos. I would recommend them to anyone. Thanks!

Schedule

My partner and I work remotely with the occasional in-person day, so we're super flexible when it comes to doggy care! We specialise in looking after small dogs and love having little pups around. Nova, our friendly Yorkipoo, gets on especially well with other small breeds, so we typically welcome dogs up to 12kg.

Safety, trust & environment

We bought our first house a few years ago in Ash, which has a very well sized fenced garden and quick access to a woodland walk to run freely around with other dogs. I can easily crate your dog if needed and provide regular potty breaks as I work downstairs with Nova, with garden access.

Pets

A typical day

Our favourite walk with Nova is our meadows walk, 2 minutes from our house (8th/9th photo). Here we throw a ball or frisbee for the dogs and Nova especially loves chasing it and getting all her energy out. You can expect your dog to get daily exercise to fit with their needs and also lots of cuddles and attention just like at home.

Please let us know if your dog is currently taking any medicine, I have experience administering oral medication to dogs and other animals. Please let us know prior to the booking if your dog is in heat or is prone to any conditions such as UTIs. It would also be helpful to know if your dog has any special requirements or strong likes and dislikes so I can cater to these. I regularly dog sit my dad’s dog who has 4 tablets a day and also is walked on an ‘I need space’ lead so I have experience with that.
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.
