Pup loving lady:)

I have had pets my entire life - they are furry babies and members of the family. At the moment I have 2 dogs, a 6 year old Ginger Spaniel called Alfie and a Chihuaha who is 18 months called Sparky. Both are the softest most gentle souls you can imagine. I live in Combe Down and our walks every day cover the Skyline, Rainbow Woods... in fact they come with me most places as I love the canine company. I live in a 4 bedroom townhouse which is close to open spaces and my dogs sleep on the bed with me at night and are allowed on the sofa... they are very kind and let us sit there too at times:) We go for an hours walk in the morning, lunchtime and evening at the very least as the fresh air is good for the mind and keeps their gorgeous bodies in trim:) Before accepting a booking, I need to meet your furry baby and make sure they are comfortable with me as well as they being comfortable with my pooches. I have had a couple of gorgeous young and super bouncy dogs come and stay for the day , but as gorgeous as they are, I am afraid my furry babiesare a little put out by bouncy dogs so if your pooch is bouncy and super energetic then I do not think we will be a good fit for each other:( Happy to accommodate any special requests

Lesley was amazing and so great with my two pups. I had regular pupdates and she fit us in last minute. Really pleased with her care and support.

Doggy Day Care • Aug 07, 2026

Leslie was Loving, reliable and accommodating. My dog was very excited to go every day and came home nice and tired from a day’s play! I was very happy knowing Brie was being so well looked after while I was at work.

Lesley was great with our dog Roland. He thoroughly enjoyed his time with her. We appreciated the videos where we could see clearly that he was quite settled and happy

Lesley was lovely and super flexible and easy to coordinate with. Eddie loved playing with her dog, Sparky, and I loved getting pictures and videos of them playing from Lesley. Would absolutely recommend!

This is the second time Lesley has taken care of our cat while we were away. She is very trustworthy and provides regular video updates, which are very appreciated.

Schedule

I am at home so my day revolves around my dogs. The longest they are left alone is about an hour and a half when I go grocery shopping or pop into town and it involves p[laces that do not accept dogs.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a back garden where the dogs can go if they really want to but as there is so much open space near me we tend to spend most of the time in woods and fields.

Pets

A typical day

It all depends on the pooch who is staying with me at the time but I like to take them on interesting walks where there are a lot of sniffs as I read somewhere that the smells are a pooches form of social media and that it is important for them to have variety. I have toy box if they like to play but mostly I like to keep the walks varied and interesting:)

I have 2 amazing dogs of my own as you will know but they get a little stressed by young super bouncy dogs so I will not be able to look after dogs like this as the welfare of my own furry babies is at the top of my list as you will understand. It is important for me to know the needs of your furry baby such as where they like to sleep, anything that makes them nervous or triggers them on a walk, do they need meds?, can they have snacks? Its all about making sure your furry baby has a great time and you feel reassured.
