Care for your anxious and precious fur babies

** Please be aware I have limited summer availability due to holiday plans - I’ll try to accommodate where I can or can recommend others on Rover ** I use Rover from both sides - so I know what would be important to me as a dog owner with a spoilt spaniel, who has separation anxiety. Whether you consider your dog to be your surrogate child, or you want an excellent care for your pet, I understand going above and beyond. I’ve had dogs my entire life - and right now I have a very needy cocker so understand the need for great sitter. I fully vet and interview my sitters as I want to be able to leave him with someone I trust and will accommodate his neediness is my number one priority. I offer the same level of service to anyone trusting me with their dog - a little too spoilt with attention and cuddles on the sofa. Our dog is super friendly to anyone and I never take more than one booking at the time for both of their comfort. If you are unsure about personalities let’s arrange meet and greet. Anything can be followed - all I ask that you are honest. If your dog is afraid of hats, or just needs his bum wiped after each toilet I would prefer to know 😄

Mika did the most fantastic job looking after Poppy. Very responsive with all messages, it was all really easy to organize. Very clear communication the whole time, very carefully preparing for and looking after Poppy. Lots of photos and updates. Highly recommended. Thank you so much, Mika!

Blaze had a lovely time with Mika and Jesse today! She always gets so excited when she realises she’s going there :)

Roxie had returned home happy and very well taken care of. It was brilliant to have open communication with Mika about how Roxie is and what she needs. The sitter was interested in all aspects of my girls life, big and small and was very accomodating. I appreciate that approach a lot. Roxie also had a trial night before the long stay which went really well. I appreciate the professionalism and hands-on approach that Mika has demonstrated. I got daily updates on how Roxie was which really helped me to have peace of mind while being away. Jessie was a good host and got along with Roxie very well. I appreciate the care Mika had given to my precious girl as she continues to be a happy self now.

Doggy Day Care • Aug 18, 2024

Blaze had a great time today with Mika (and Jesse!). She was very well cared for and we received lots of lovely photos and updates while she was there. Blaze can be a little nervous when left, but she didn’t want to leave at the end of their session! Thank you for looking after her :)

Couldn’t have asked for a better couple to look after our puppy. He was looked after and loved. Jesse was lovely towards him and got along really well. Sent plenty of pictures and videos to keep us in the loop which we really appreciated. 100% recommend.

I was very pleased with the way Mika kept me updated with WhatsApp photos and even a video. Ziggy seemed happy and although he was very nervous when I brought him to Mika he soon settled down. It was only a short stay but I have no hesitation with using Mika and her husband again and longer stays if necessary. It was also nice to know Ziggy made a new friend as they also have a relatively small dog.

Schedule

I will always stick to your dogs routine for walks to ensure they are comfortable. I work from home most days and it’s always me or my husband who will be at home so the dogs will never be left alone, not even for 5 minutes. We will walk them based on their needs around our local area (woodland and doggie park) - nothing is a problem.

Safety, trust & environment

Fenced back garden, parks with easy accessibility - no problem keeping up their routine. We’ve got a safe fenced garden where your fur babies can have a toilet break, sniff or play as often as needed. They won’t be off lead whilst in my care for safety but I have extendable lead to use to give them more freedom to roam around.

Pets

A typical day

Dogs are allowed on furniture, they get cuddles and attention all the time. We have a sniff matt we can use when the weather is bad for mental stimulation games and a little agility in the garden which we can use daily. Walks as required but I do find the two dogs tire each other out!

Any special things that he will need to be comfortable. Like separation anxiety, does he bark at the tv or gets scared of the doorbell on? We can handle most things - but I wouldn’t be able to have aggressive or reactive pet due to the safety of our own dog.
