Pet care experience
Your pup’s new bestie 💕
Hi there! I’m Nesh 👋🏽🐾 — a big-time dog lover who will 100% treat your pup like family (and yes… I will probably talk to them like they’re a tiny human). In January, we sadly lost our sweet Frenchie, Luna, to cancer. She was truly my soul dog and we miss her every day 💛 While we’d love another dog one day, we’re waiting for now — so caring for other pups has become such a meaningful way for me to still have that love, companionship, and daily walkies in my life. We’re comfortable caring for small to medium dogs of all ages and energy levels, and I’m happy to stick closely to your pup’s routine — walks, playtime, feeding, chill time, and meds if needed. I’ve also looked after friends’ dogs plenty of times and genuinely love it. I’m big on safety, cuddles (if your dog’s into it), and I’ll always send photo updates so you can relax while you’re away. I work from home most days and only go into the office twice a week (flexible between Tuesday–Thursday), so your pup will have lots of attention and company. For boarding: we have a toddler (she’ll be 3 in October!) who adores dogs and has grown up learning to respect their space (thanks to Luna 💕). If your pup loves kids, they’ll be spoiled rotten — and if they’re not on a special diet… expect treats 😂 My husband Alex will also be helping out, and I can almost guarantee he’ll become your dog’s favourite. I’d love to meet you and your pup!

Ratings and reviews
Ines looked after Cali for 5 days. It was clear that she and her family really loved looking after Cali and would 100% recommend and use her again. Cali had the best time.
Nesh was amazing with my girl Meri! A lovely home, big garden, lots of cuddles given and lots of photos sent during her stay. Will definitely be using again next time I’m away! Thank you Nesh!
I have known Ines for 21 years, and for as long as I can remember she has always been in love with dogs and cats! She helped look after my dog, Sparky, many times over the 13 years before he passed away. She also owned her beloved Luna, a super energetic Frenchie who became a part of her family 6 years ago. Sadly, Luna passed away but she still has so much love and care to give. Ines is very loving, trust-worthy and caring. She will absolutely take care your beloved pet as one of her own. Both Sparky and Luna are evidence of this. If you give her a chance, she won’t let you down!

Schedule
I work from home 3 days a week, and I only go into the office 1–2 days when my schedule is quieter (so I can head home earlier). My mornings are usually pretty calm, and my afternoons get busier since a lot of my team is based in the Americas. We’ve got a beautiful field nearby for walks, plus a secure garden for fresh air and outdoor breaks (always supervised). Your pup will still get proper leash walks too! While I’m working, they’re welcome to snooze right next to me — under my desk or nearby, depending on what they prefer. My dog used to love curling up under my desk, so I’m very used to having a little work buddy by my side. On the weekends we are usually at home but do enjoy doing something out of the house, we always try to have our pup included and this would be the same where possible
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
We have a fully fenced, secure garden with plenty of space (and lots of good sniffing spots!) for outdoor breaks and fresh air. 🐾🌿 I always care for pets based on their needs and routine — whether that means lots of playtime, calm company, or a bit of both. My main goal is to make sure your fur baby feels safe, comfortable, and at home with us. I’m also very mindful about safety on walks (always leashed unless you’ve specifically approved otherwise), and I’ll follow your instructions closely when it comes to feeding, medications, and house rules.
A typical day
Fun is definitely part of the deal in our house! Depending on your pet’s energy level and personality, we’ll do a mix of nice walks (we’ve got a beautiful field nearby), playtime with toys, sniffy adventures, and lots of cuddle time (if they’re a snuggler!). I also love teaching dogs little tricks and doing mini training sessions (sit, paw, spin, etc.) — just for fun and to keep their brains busy. Of course, everything is done gently with lots of praise and treats (with your permission!). For dogs who love to run around, we’ll have supervised garden time for fresh air and exploring. For calmer pups, we’re all about relaxed strolls, belly rubs, and chill time on the couch.
