Pet care experience
Pets are far more precious than people deserve
At 19 my partner and I decided to get a puppy (to add, I was 5 months pregnant at the time.) A French BullMastiff x Belgium Malinious (if you know you know 😉). A gorgeous puppy! We trained him every weekday possible and every weekend with the help of a local dog trainer/k9 handler. We taught him the basics: sit, down, stay, come & heal etc. His recall was amazing. We also trained things like, walk on (ahead), behind, speak and whisper. He very quickly became our child’s best friend whilst still knowing his boundaries. In 2023 I was in a major car accident that left me with multiple broken bones with many other complications. I am still in a recovery program, hydrotherapy, muscle strength and psychology. In this time I have decided to become a dog trainer. I have some new qualifications and certificates for this already; pet first aid, loose lead walking, enrichment and dog law etc. I am still enrolled into the dog trainer program. I had also taken a huge interest in dog nutrition. We fed our dog a balanced raw diet. All natural treats and lots of lick mats. Sadly in October 2025 our fur boy became unwell, with a lot of scans and test he was taking home on palliative care. After a few days at home, quiet and comfortable, we had to accept the hardest decision we’ve had to make. We had to say goodbye to our gorgeous boy. He will be forever 13. I was once working part-time, building my driving business and enjoying long field walks on a crisp morning. I became a home stayer whilst recovering and training spending most of the day with him. We’d play tug with the rope in the garden, search and find in the fields and many small training sessions in the lounge (just to keep his instruction sharp, to build engagement and his brain occupied). But now my time at home is quiet and a little empty. We need time for our hearts to heal before any thoughts about another dog, but we will do so in the future. I’d love to share our home, my time and knowledge with your precious fur friends.

Ratings and reviews
Nigel had a great time with Leanne! He had loads of fun playing and going on good walks. Leanne also did some work with him to improve his loose lead walking and his over excitement. Thanks for taking such great care of our boy!
Leanne and her family were absolutely lovely and took care of the dogs brilliantly. I would definitely recommend to others.
Leanne and her family looked after Moo for a couple of nights and I would not hesitate to recommend her. Moo seemed to enjoy her stay very much - lot's of play time, places to walk, and well cared for. We received some great pics and felt reassured while we were away. We'd definitely be happy to leave Moo with Leanne in future. Thank you!
Arlo spent a week staying with Leanne & her family whilst we were away. We were kept up to date with pictures and what he had been up to. Looks like he had a great week playing with Leanne’s son. Would definitely recommend. Thank you 😊
Leanne was wonderful. Confident and caring, everything you want from a boarder. Local footpath and field very near by for dog exercise.
My first time using the rover app and the best experience I could’ve asked for! My little girl is my entire world, and I never leave her with just anyone. Leanne was amazing from start to finish. She met Lulu at a park with me prior to go into her house, and was just so gentle and loving towards her. She took some beautiful photos of my gorgeous girl and kept me updated throughout the day. She’s had the best stay with Leanne and her family, and I will definitely be back! Thank you again Leanne🩷

Schedule
I have a lot of free time! I am currently not working (in trauma recovery). Monday - Friday I have 1 hour physiotherapy sessions etc. Sundays - sons (13yo) football match for approx. 1.5 hours (depending on location, dogs can come too.) Otherwise my sister will join me on a dog walk. :) Happy to follow the routine of your pup or just go with the flow.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have a ground floor maisonette, so all one level. 1 step into front of the home and 2 up to the grass area of garden. Garden secure. We have a XL dog crate if needed (although happy for you to provide your own). Blankets on the sofa for lots of sofa snuggles. We have long lines for those who need to stay on lead. We wouldn’t allow any dogs into my son’s (13yo) bedroom but we can gate that off. Please note my child and your pets will never be left unsupervised and all care provided to your pups will be given by myself. They will receive much love and plenty of belly rubs from us both.
A typical day
Tidy back garden - all secure. Behind my home are corn fields and public footpaths; leading down to the farm, a loop home or the bridge to more fields and a little woodland. All fields are secure. Also a short walk to the village common, an open field and wooded area. A short walk to the village with dog friendly cafes. Or a walk along the canal. Playing ball, practising recall, tidying up the basics are all things we would do with our boy on a daily basis. Lots of find it games in the garden or field. There’ll also be plenty of down time. Whether it be in their bed/crate or a comfy spot on the sofa to catch a quick nap and recharge that brain for the next adventure.
