50 yrs experience in every aspect of dog care

Pet care experience

From having family dogs as far back as I can remember, I had my first dog when I set up home 50 years ago. From then I went into dog training, dog breeding and then dog showing. Our home was never short of at least one dog over the years. When my husband was made redundant, we decided to set up a dog grooming business ( as he had been fully trained many years previously). This proved to be very successful and gave us many years of wonderful dog memories and many close relationships with our regular clients. Sadly over the years we have said goodbye to our own beloved pets but still get called upon by our various children to look after their pets whilst they are away. We made the decision not to have any more dogs ourselves but really miss their company, so we decided that pet sitting might suit us as we are still fit and healthy and have a wealth of canine knowledge in many different breeds.

From the first pre-meeting I was impressed by Jill and Richards experience and knowledge with dogs and the friendly warm environment of their home and garden. I could not fault this home sit experience. We could see from the photos and stories that Fergus was very happy and made to feel part of Jill and Richards home, and wider family and friends. Perfect first sitter experience and one which we would happily use again !

Jill has looked after my dog and cats on several occasions and always does a great job. Trustworthy, attentive, and clearly loves animals. Couldn't ask for better!

Absolutely wonderful people Jill and Richard are, they looked after my 3 dogs and my dogs absolutely love going round their house to stay and I know they will be 100% looked after and loved like part of the family. I highly recommend them to look after your fur babies and they listen and understand with any routine or concerns that you have regarding your fur baby. Thank you Jill and Richard for looking after my babies so well!

I am writing to highly recommend Jill as an exceptional dog sitter. With over 20 years of experience working with dogs (and many more years having her own) Jill possesses a deep understanding of their needs and behaviours. In addition to her professional and personal endorsements, Jill has cared for my dogs on many occasions - her dedication, reliability, and genuine love for animals make her an ideal candidate for any pet care responsibilities. I have full confidence in Jill's ability to provide top-notch care and companionship to any furry friend.

Information Jill B. would like to know about your pet

We are quite capable of attending to special dietary requirements and application of medicines but would prefer small to medium dogs that do not shed profusely. We would also require that dogs are cage trained or have experience of being caged for nighttime and the odd occasion that we may need to go out.

A typical day

As we have a large garden we are able to play safely here although we intend using nearby facilities with activity courses which are safely enclosed and are for one to one use by appointment only.
