It was our first time leaving our dog with a new sitter after moving to the area so we were a bit nervous but we needn’t have worried. Ellie was great with her and we got a couple of updates which was lovely, we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Ellie and I’m sure we will be using her again! Thanks Ellie for everything :)

Our 2 border terriers have had a recent 5 night stay with Ellie. They have been well looked after and we appreciated our updates and photos of the girls while we were away. We would definitely book with Ellie again.

Ellie looked after our JRT whilst we were on holiday for 4nights. Ellie updated us with pictures and summaries of what they had been up to. Our dog had a lovely time and came back happy and sleepy. We would definitely use Ellie again and would highly recommend her based on our experience with her. Thanks Ellie!

I have never felt so comfortable leaving my 13 years old dog with someone till now. Ellie is very welcoming and was thorough in assessing the needs of my dog before her stay. Marlo was very happy and had a good time. She absolutely loves her mini holiday. We were kept informed regularly of how she is doing with messages and photos. Thank you so much Ellie.

Calendar and availability

Schedule

Being able to work at home offers the flexibility to supervise them whether they are relaxing in our comfy home or spending time in our secure garden with other guests. Every dog deserves a loving home and I have the space, time and patience to offer this.

Safety, trust & environment

Our garden is fully secured by a 6ft fence around the perimeter and 6ft solid locked gate at the side. On walks, we never take any risks - no dogs are ever left unattended. They will always be under close control and on a lead. With prior permission, they may be let off in a safe environment, if the owner has 100% confidence in their recall ability.

A typical day

We will take the dogs for a walk either locally, in the New Forest or to the coast. In between time, they have the freedom to roam the secure garden or chill out inside. We have various toys they can play with depending on their preference or they may like to play with each other if there are other likeminded dogs staying with us at the same time.

**PLEASE NOTE: We only accept dogs that are calm, well-behaved, house-trained and who are happy to sleep in a separate room to humans!** The more information there is about your dog on Rover, the better. Contact me to arrange a 'sniffing-out' meeting prior to your first booking to see our setup and to see if your dog would be suitable in our home.
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.
