Where Tails Wag & Cats Purr

Hi, we’re Ellie & Ben! 👋 Thank you for taking the time to visit our profile. We’re lifelong animal lovers who genuinely treat every pet as part of the family. Having grown up with both dogs and cats, we understand that every pet has their own personality, routine and little quirks. Whether they’re full of energy or prefer a quieter pace, we’ll always take the time to make them feel safe, happy and loved while you’re away. 🐕 Dog Boarding & Day Care Our home becomes your dog’s home while you’re away. They’ll enjoy a secure, fully enclosed garden, plenty of playtime, enriching walks, lots of attention and, of course, endless cuddles. We always follow your dog’s normal routine as closely as possible, from feeding and sleeping arrangements to walks and favourite toys, helping them settle in quickly. Our Golden Retriever, Maya, is a gentle, friendly girl who absolutely loves making new doggy friends. Because she shares our home, any dogs staying with us will need to be friendly with other dogs. 🚶 Dog Walking Whether your dog enjoys a relaxed stroll, an energetic adventure or simply stopping to sniff every tree along the way, we’ll tailor every walk to suit their age, personality and energy levels, ensuring they’re safe, happy and having fun. 🏠 House Sitting & Drop In Visits If your pets are happiest in their own home, we’re equally happy to come to them. We’ll make sure they receive plenty of company, fresh food and water, toilet breaks, playtime and affection while keeping to the routine they’re used to. 🐱 Cat Care As owners of two indoor cats ourselves, we know that cats often prefer familiar surroundings. Whether your cat enjoys lots of attention or prefers their own space, we’ll care for them exactly as you ask, from feeding and refreshing water to litter tray cleaning, playtime and companionship. 🥩 We also have a good understanding of canine nutrition, including raw feeding, and we’re happy to follow your pet’s usual diet, routine and any agreed care instructions. 📸 We know how difficult it can be to leave your pet, so you’ll receive regular photos and updates throughout every booking, giving you complete peace of mind and letting you see all the fun they’re having. 🚨 We’re both proud to work in the emergency services, where trust, responsibility and staying calm under pressure are part of our everyday lives. We bring those same values into caring for your pets, treating every dog and cat as if they were our own. 🏡 Our home has a fully enclosed, secure garden with plenty of space to run, sniff, play and relax. Before every first booking, we always like to arrange a meet and greet so everyone can get to know each other and make sure it’s the perfect fit. If our calendar shows we’re unavailable, please don’t hesitate to send us a message anyway we’ll always do our best to help if we can. We’d love the opportunity to welcome your furry family member into ours. ❤️🐾

Safety, trust & environment

Your dog’s safety and wellbeing are our highest priority. Our home has a fully enclosed, secure garden for safe outdoor play, and our local 24-hour veterinary practice is only a short drive away should an emergency ever arise. For added peace of mind, our home is fitted with a ring doorbell and an alarm system. We carefully supervise all dogs in our care and always aim to provide a calm, safe and loving environment where they can relax and feel at home.

I am so glad I choose Ellie and Ben to look after our dog. They always answer whenever I ask how is Milo and always sends photos of how he doing. I am very pleased how they look after him like their own. I will surely recommend it to my family and friend. And definitely will use them again if I need someone to look after him. Thank you to Ellie and Ben you are both amazing! ??

So wonderful and accommodating is Ellie and her partner and Maya. They are ready and willing to change things at a moments notice, drive our dog home, and reschedule many times over. I recommend them highly.

Schedule

Every dog in our care is treated as if they’re one of our own. We want them to feel completely at home, so our house is relaxed, loving and full of attention. Sofa cuddles are welcome (unless you’d prefer otherwise!), there are plenty of toys and enrichment activities to keep them entertained, and lots of cosy beds and blankets for naps after their adventures. We understand that every dog is different, so we’ll always do our best to follow their usual routine, including feeding times, walking schedules, training, sleeping arrangements and any house rules, helping them feel settled and comfortable throughout their stay.

Before your dog’s stay, we’d love to learn as much as possible about them so we can provide the very best care. Please let us know about their usual routine, personality, favourite toys or treats, training, medical conditions, medications, allergies, dietary requirements and anything they may be nervous about. The more we know, the more comfortable, happy and settled your dog will feel during their stay.
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.

These prices are for 1 dog, including a booking fee of 11%.
