Pet care experience

Work from home dog lover - large & secure garden!

Since the age of 7, our family have always had a dog and I have always been the one to walk them daily and shower them in love! I've been the lead trainer, walker and care giver for puppies, senior dogs we've adopted and everything in-between! We were always a Labrador household but through borrow my doggy I've been lucky enough to look after many more breeds and sizes - from pugs and cockatoos to great danes and wire haired labradoodles! I live with my partner in Cambridge in a pet free home and we would be willing to have dog(s) board at ours or to help with in-home boarding too if this is preferential for the dogs comfort. I am always a believer that the more love and care you show a dog the more it will give you back, and I always have the time and patience to allow a dog to get comfortable with me and to be a dog!! Walks, playing in the garden, going for sniffs, having rest and alone time - whatever a dog needs I want to give it to them to make them happy and I would love to help look after your dog and give them the same love and care I do with our family dogs!

Doggy Day Care • Jul 05, 2026

Jacob was brilliant with Whiskey and looked after her like she was his own. She was really happy when I picked her up, and I could tell she'd been well looked after. It's clear he genuinely cares about the dogs he looks after. I'd happily leave Whiskey with him again and would definitely recommend him.

This was the first time we have left Lola with anyone and we’re very nervous about doing it but Jacob really made us feel at ease. We received regular updates and photos on Lola and this helped to put our minds at rest. I would recommend Jacob to anyone looking for a dog sitter. He was brilliant - we will be using him again.

Jacob is amazing! Kuma had a lot of fun with him! Jacob updated us a lot with pictures and we really appreciated that! You can really see he is a truly dog lover! I really recommend him and we will contact him again for other day care! Kuma loved him!

Schedule

I work full time but I am lucky to work remotely and would be at home 7 days a week. Provided owners are comfortable with the dog coming out with us, we would also be happy to take the dog on days out to the beaches in Norfolk or the hills in Herefordshire when we go for walks at the weekends - which is our typical go to activity!

Safety, trust & environment

We have a fully secure garden which is 150ft long. The dog would be more than welcome to sleep in any room in the house and can stay on its bed or in a crate - whichever is best.

A typical day

Walks, games in the garden, trips to the hills or beach at the weekend, we live 1 minute away from the river and Stourbridge common and so we will be able to do long or short park walks by the river all the time!

If your dog has any special requirements medically or physically just let me know. If they need a few long walks each day or multiple short walks to break it up for their joints/age I can accommodate anything and will try and stick as best to their regular routine as possible!
