Dog Boarding; Your dog will be welcomed into a loving, family style home where they’ll feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. There are 2 cats that live here and 2 dogs of my own, however they will be kept separate from your pet during their stay to ensure everyone feels relaxed and secure. There are doors on every room and extra tall baby gates on the key rooms where your dogs and my ow pets will be staying - therefore a more secure set-up to prevent escapes and/ or any animals coming in to contact with each other. There are no young children in the home, and I have a secure outdoor garden with two 6-foot fences and two lockable gates. There is also a local roam-free park just 5 minutes away, where your dog(s) can enjoy off-lead exercise, as well as relaxed on-lead walks. A meet and greet will always be arranged beforehand, and I’m happy to offer collection and drop-off for your convenience, so your dog can enjoy their own little holiday too. Your dog will never be left alone (unless previously agreed) and will be part of the daily home routine, receiving plenty of attention, affection, and care. I tailor each stay to your dog’s individual personality and needs, whether that means lots of playtime, cuddles, or enjoyable walks. I provide exclusive 1-to-1 care, meaning your pet will be the only animal(s) from an outside household in my care at any one time. This ensures consistent supervision, attention, and comfort during their stay. My goal is to make your dog feel completely at home while giving you full peace of mind that they’re in a safe and caring environment. Unfortunately, I don’t offer home visits. I live in an upstairs flat with a shared outdoor stairway and pathway, and out of respect for my downstairs neighbours’ privacy I don’t have owners visit the property. I really appreciate your understanding. I’m hoping to move within the next 1–2 years, and once I do I’d be more than happy to welcome owners to visit beforehand. Instead, I send photos of both my home and the secure garden areas, along with a copy of my dog boarding licence, so you can see exactly where your dog will be staying. Inside, your dog would rarely be left alone and would sleep in the same room as me at night. I have a raised dog bed with a soft mattress, although dogs are also welcome on the furniture both indoors and outside if that’s what they’re used to at home. House Sitting; When house sitting, I care for your dog(s) or cat(s) in the comfort of their own home, helping them feel relaxed and secure in their familiar surroundings. They will receive the same level of care and attention as they would when boarding with me. My overnight house sitting rate covers up to 12 hours of care. Any additional time outside of this is classed as extended daytime care and will be charged accordingly. I am happy to follow your pet’s usual routine and any specific requirements to ensure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for. This includes feeding, providing fresh water, cleaning bowls, walks and/or garden time, administering medication if required, plenty of play and affection. For safety, dogs are kept on a lead during walks unless in a secure, designated roam-free area. Off-lead walking may be considered once trust and a relationship have been built, or if your dog has reliable recall. I will keep you regularly updated with messages, photos, and videos, so you can feel reassured while your pet is in my care. I’m also happy to arrange a meet and greet beforehand to ensure both you and your pet feel completely comfortable. The rate shown on my profile for house sitting is for the overnight service. If you wish for your pets to be cared for in your own home (daycare / night care but in your own home) - this can be booked under ‘house sitting’. I offer a separate rate for this service which can be adjusted after you send the request through. Overnight house sitting includes standard care with the ability to leave for short periods. Pets needing full-time supervision are very welcome. For bookings outside my local area or requiring travel over a certain amount of time, a small travel fee may apply to cover time and transport. Pet collection/drop-off can also be arranged - please message to discuss. Dog walking; I’m always happy to help where I can! My availability can vary during the spring and summer months due to occasional work commitments away from home. If you get in touch, I’m happy to share my upcoming availability and see how I can fit around your needs. During autumn and winter, I’m generally much more consistent and available for regular bookings. In spring and summer, I’m best suited for occasional, short-term, or emergency dog walking requests. Where key handovers are needed (Drop-in Visits etc), keys provided during the meet & greet, via lockbox, or posted through the letterbox after the service has been completed is free of charge. If separate trips are required for key collection or return, a small fee may apply to cover additional travel time. Any questions, please don’t hesitate to get in touch 🐾
