Highlights
Pet care experience
Experienced and fully licensed dog lover
We have always loved animals and while I was working from home for a year in 2022 we home boarded dogs for weeks at a time while their owners were on holiday (for another company) and absolutely loved it! I also regularly borrow dogs for walks and runs. I love caring for dogs, going for walks at their pace, playing in the garden with them or just snuggling on the sofa. Your dog will be very well cared for while staying with us. My partner Howard also has lots of previous experience as he has owned and fostered dogs in the past.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Lesley was great, we had a change of plans at the last minute and she was very accommodating to our needs. From the information given to us pippa settled in well, will use again, very happy.
Thank you again for looking after Sid. Lesley always goes through his care notes & updates any changes before I leave. Highly recommended 😊
Yen is a super shy dog, but Lesley was so patient with her and sent regular updates throughout her stay. Would recommend for those with shy pups
Our dogs love Lesley and Howard and are obviously very happy with them. They are lovely people who take very good care of the dogs they look after.
Ella had a really great time stopping with Lesley. We were sent pictures of Ella lounging in the sun and playing ball, which comforted us that she'd settled in quickly.
After searching for a new dog sitter for our little Luna we found Lesley. We arranged for a meet and great and knew Luna would be exceptionally well looked after. We received daily updates with pictures, we would highly recommend Lesley and will certainly be using again

Schedule
I work full time, but normally work from home on Tuesday, Thursday and Friday. My partner Howard is retired, so we are able to cover long weekend stays. We are willing to look after two dogs from the same household - please contact me about this.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
We live in a three bedroomed house with a fenced garden and driveway. Your dog would have free run of the house and garden and opportunity for plenty of walks and even runs if they want. We are both fully DBS checked and have our own pet boarding insurance.
A typical day
Your dog will have plenty opportunities for fun walks (or even runs if they would like) with us. We live near the Old Tram Road which is a fantastic traffic free dog walking area. There is a lovely pond in a wooded area just down the road where dogs can have an explore and also a little swim if they like. Alternatively if your doggie just wants to potter round the garden or play with a ball or their toys that is fine too. In the evenings your dog can snuggle on the sofa with us or have their own sofa with a comfy throw on. We have a large dining kitchen with plenty of room for your dog's bed or crate. If your dog normally sleeps on the bed with you we can also accommodate this.
