Experienced & Loving Pet Sitters

Hi we are Victoria and Fabien. We've both grown up surrounded by dogs, from tiny Yorkshire Terriers to large Deerhounds and Ridgebacks and anything in between, giving us a well-rounded understanding of different breeds and their unique needs. As a couple, we currently own a lively and loving 2-year-old Huntaway who we've trained from a puppy into the confident dog he is today. This hands-on experience has taught us the patience and consistency needed for successful training and positive reinforcement. Victoria also grew up on a farm, caring for a wide variety of animals, further enhancing our understanding of animal care. We're comfortable with dogs of all sizes and energy levels, and are happy to provide everything from playful walks and cuddles to administering medication (if needed and with instructions) and specialised care for senior pets. We pride ourselves on our responsible and attentive approach, ensuring your furry family members are happy, healthy, and safe in our care.

Fabien, Victoria, their delightful daughters and dog, Major, plus visiting dog, Oscar were so welcoming and quickly put my slightly anxious cockapoo at ease. I received photos and videos and reports and so was totally able to relax. Teddy was in very safe hands and her next stay is already in the diary. Thank you!

Fabien and Victoria were wonderful. Our dog Nala was beautifully looked after and loved and quite clearly adored the family. We were updated with pictures and messages and highly recommended this wonderful home. Our dog Nala will be staying with them all again soon. Thank you Fabien, Victoria and daughters for the love and care!

Schedule

Because we're both self-employed, one of us is always home, providing flexibility and consistent care for your pets. Pet care seamlessly integrates into our daily routine. We already take our own dog for walks 2-3 times a day, so adding your furry friend to our outings would be a natural extension of our day. We also have a good-sized garden where dogs can play and enjoy the outdoors. This means your pets will have plenty of exercise, fresh air, and attention throughout the day. Whether it's regular walks, playtime in the garden, or simply companionship, we can easily adapt our schedule to meet your pet's specific needs.

Safety, trust & environment

We prioritise the safety, trust, and well-being of every pet in our care, whether in our home or yours. Our garden is fully fenced, providing a secure space for dogs to play and explore. We're happy to crate dogs if required by their owners and will follow your specific instructions regarding crating procedures. In our home, we ensure a clean and comfortable environment, free from hazards. We're attentive to each pet's individual needs, providing appropriate exercise, feeding, and any necessary medications (with clear instructions). When caring for pets in their own homes, we respect their space and maintain their routines as much as possible. We are reliable and responsible, and will always communicate promptly with you about your pet's well-being. We understand the trust you place in us, and we take that responsibility very seriously.

Pets

A typical day

A typical day with your pet in our care starts with a morning walk, tailored to their breed and energy level. We enjoy exploring the local area with our own dog, and would love to include your furry friend in our adventures. After the walk, it's breakfast time, followed by some playtime in our secure garden. Throughout the day, we provide plenty of attention, cuddles, and mental stimulation, whether it's a game of fetch, a puzzle toy, or simply some quiet time together. We're flexible and can adapt our activities to your pet's preferences. In the afternoon, we usually go for another walk, perhaps visiting a local park if permitted by the owner, or just enjoying a stroll around the neighborhood. Evenings are for relaxing, with more playtime, dinner, and lots of love and affection. We aim to create a fun and enriching experience for your pet, ensuring they feel happy, safe, and loved while you're away. We're also happy to follow your specific routines and instructions, so your pet's day is as normal as possible.

To ensure the best possible care for your pet, it's helpful for us to know the following information: Breed and age: This helps us understand their general temperament, energy levels, and potential health considerations. Health conditions and medications: We need to be aware of any existing health issues, allergies, or medications your pet requires, along with detailed instructions for administration. Behavioral quirks: Knowing if your pet is anxious, fearful, or has any specific behavioral tendencies (e.g., excessive barking, separation anxiety) allows us to tailor our care accordingly. Training and socialization: Understanding their training level and how they interact with other animals and people helps us ensure their safety and well-being. Dietary needs and feeding schedule: We need to know what your pet eats, how often they eat, and any specific dietary restrictions or preferences. Exercise requirements: Information about their preferred type and amount of exercise helps us plan appropriate activities. Specific instructions: Any other specific instructions or preferences you have regarding your pet's care, routines, or habits are greatly appreciated. The more information you can provide, the better equipped we are to provide personalised and loving care for your furry friend.
