Availability

My boyfriend, Nathan, and I work from home, which allows us the flexibility to provide attentive and consistent care for dogs throughout the day. Being home means we can stick to their routines, whether it’s feeding, walking, or playtime, and we're always nearby to monitor their needs. This setup also ensures we can provide them the comfort and companionship they deserve.

A typical day

A typical day with your pet is filled with fun, care, and attention! We’ll start the day with a refreshing walk or playtime in my secure, enclosed garden to burn off some energy. Mid-morning might include interactive games like fetch or tug-of-war, followed by a cozy rest time indoors. After lunch, we’ll enjoy more outdoor fun, whether it’s another walk or supervised exploration in the garden. I also make time for mental stimulation activities, like puzzle toys or basic training exercises. In the evening, we’ll wind down with cuddles, quiet time, and a final walk to ensure they’re ready for a restful night.

Reliable, Loving Care for Your Furry Friends! 🐾

Pet care experience

Growing up, I helped care for our two amazing dogs—a Doberman and a Rottweiler. From an early age, I learned the importance of discipline, routine, and affection in raising large, intelligent breeds. I assisted with feeding, grooming, daily exercise, and training to ensure they were well-behaved and healthy. I also loved spending time playing and bonding with them, which deepened my understanding of their unique personalities and needs. This experience gave me a lifelong appreciation for dogs and the skills to care for them with confidence and love. I am skilled at recognising canine body language, ensuring their safety, and creating a calm, nurturing environment. Whether it's high-energy playtime or relaxing companionship, I tailor my care to meet each dog's unique needs.

Emma was brilliant with our rescue dog, her calm demeanour definitely making Bonnie feel at calm too and at home. She also sent regular updates so we knew how they were getting on. I would definitely use Emma again.

I would like to say thank you to Emma and Nathan who takes good care of Bluebell when she stays with them. Bluebell was so happy to spend time with them and go for a walk, she’s a very nervous dog but she loves cuddles from them. Emma sent pictures update frequently so we could see how Bluebell is doing, Would definitely recommend Emma if you are looking for a dog sitter🥹

Emma is very calm and copes well with Bonnie, who can be quite anxious. She took Bonnie on a couple of walks and the day seemed to go really well - Bonnie seemed quite happy to stay for longer when I picked her up, which was very reassuring. I would definitely recommend Emma and she will be caring for Bonnie again in May.

Emma was really responsive, professional, and communicative. Our dog Lulah seemed happy with her walk and care. Will definitely book again.
