We miss our dogs so we will care for yours instead

Pet care experience

Since moving out of our respective family homes, we hugely miss our family dogs and do not have a dog of our own. We miss our precious pooches and therefore want to lend a hand to those in the local area by offering sitting and boarding others dogs who may need it. We have an average sized garden which is secure, plenty of places to walk, and a good sized kitchen/living area for larger dogs. We are firm believers that dogs need lots of cuddles and so do not mind them being on the sofa with us.

I recently had Gemma dog sit for my Japanese Akita, Lulu, and I was really impressed! Akitas can be nervous in new places, but Gemma quickly made Lulu feel at home. She took Lulu on daily walks and played with her, providing both exercise and fun. I received regular updates and photos, showing how much Lulu enjoyed her time with Gemma. Overall, I highly recommend Gemma as a dog sitter. She did a fantastic job, and I came back to a happy and relaxed dog. Thank you, Gemma!
