Because we both work shifts, our schedule is really flexible — and works perfectly for dog care. Most days, one of us is home, which means your dog will have company for the majority of the day. Richard works mostly early mornings and is usually home by 3:30/4pm at the latest. I work a mixture of shifts, with many of them being evenings. This means there’s almost always someone around, and on the rare occasions we’re both out, it’s only for short periods. We’re committed to keeping your dog’s routine consistent, comfortable, and stress‑free. If you need last‑minute care, our overlapping schedules make it easy for us to help. I think transparency is key and would prefer to inform owners about our work schedule so we can work together to ensure it's the right fit and I can offer as much reassurance as needed - your love and dedication to your fur baby, becomes ours when they stay with us!

Safety, trust & environment
We’ve recently moved into a cosy end‑terraced house with a secure, private gated garden, which is perfect for dogs who enjoy fresh air, sniffing around, and relaxing outdoors. Safety is really important to us, so we always make sure the gate is locked and the garden is supervised during playtime. Inside, dogs have plenty of space to settle, explore, and get comfy. We keep our home calm and welcoming, and we’re happy to follow your dog’s usual routine — whether that’s crate time, sofa cuddles, set feeding times, or specific training cues. We’re lucky to have lots of lovely walks nearby, both within walking distance and just a short drive away. Whether your dog prefers quiet paths, open fields, or a steady neighbourhood stroll, we can match their pace and energy. Because we work different shifts, one of us is home most of the day, so your dog will rarely be left alone, and only ever for short periods. They’ll get lots of attention, fuss, and company throughout the day. We’re always happy to send regular updates and photos so you can see how they’re getting on.

Information Larna F. would like to know about your pet
Please let us know of any specific needs or behaviours that we need to be aware of ahead of time so that we can ensure we adapt appropriately to meet their full requirements. It is also good to know how your dog reacts and responds to other dogs, animals and people.
A typical day
We’ll be sure to stimulate your dog both mentally and physically. We’ll play a load of games throughout the day, allow them to gain all of the new smells in the neighbourhood and take a walk down to the canal, the peak district or local park. We're also happy to practice any new skills they’re working on and keep you updated on how they’re doing, including photos of their day!

Reviews
Larna and Richard have been fantastic looking after Wilf overnight. He’s clearly had a great time and been really happy and comfortable with them, despite it being only his second night ever away from home. Thanks so much. Would very happily book again. Great communication and lots of lovely photos 🥰xx
Larna and Rich were absolutely amazing with Douglas, he loved his stay and I had constant updates over text with pictures and videos. Brilliant dog sitters ☺️❤️
Larna and Rich looked after our older Border Terrier, Red, for a week and we honestly couldn’t have asked for better sitters. From the very first meet and greet, and seeing their home, we knew they were perfect for Red. We never felt nervous about leaving her with them, which says everything. Communication was amazing throughout — very quick responses and loads of updates while we were away. We received 49 pictures and videos of Red having the absolute best time, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She got lots of cuddles, fun walks, and loved socialising. Larna and Rich are such a lovely couple and clearly care so much about the dogs they look after. We would 100% recommend them and will definitely be rebooking in the future. Thank you both for taking such great care of Red!
Wilf had a great time at Larna and Richard’s and is looking forward to his overnight stay next week 😊 He was very tired when he got home which is always a good thing 🤣 Thankyou
