Highlights
Pet care experience
Enhanced DBS check & fully insured
I have lived with working breed dogs on and off for 12 years and now have my own cocker spaniel who I have had from a puppy. I am experienced with puppies, adolescents, rescues and poorly dogs, which has given me an excellent understanding of dog body language. I do trick training, scentwork and pet gundog training with my Arlo, which is hugely rewarding. I love helping dogs grow in confidence and have fun playing games based on meeting their specific breed outlets. In a past life I also rehabilitated wildlife for release from my own home, so my experience is not limited to domestic pets.
Cat care experience

Safety, trust & environment
I have a secure back garden, mostly grassed with some paving. I believe in positive reinforcement training and would never shout at your dog. I do not use collars or leads that stop dogs from pulling by making the dog uncomfortable. I love to play with dogs and work with them as individuals to see what they enjoy doing. My own dog is a big part of our family and we include him in as much as possible and, if appropriate, I would treat your beloved pets in the same way and I'd love to invovle your dog in our family days out. I have a mixture of dog crates, beds, various sofas and blankets to get comfy and relax, and for travel I have a dog crate in the car, or a doggy seatbelt if your dog isn't crate trained. At night I will keep my dog and any visiting dogs separate, to keep everyone safe and comfortable. There are baby gates at the bottom of our stairs, and between the kitchen and back room, so I can separate dogs from each other at mealtimes (or separate dogs from my little boy when he's eating). I have a selection of licky mats, kongs, balls, rope toys, gundog dummies, scent tins and more to keep your dog entertained. My own dog loves free shaping and we often spend time in the day playing games at home to tire his busy spaniel brain out. I have a front garden too, with a gate that is kept shut when I am at home to stop dogs and children from getting out, and I keep dogs out of the hallway if there is a knock on the door, so they can't run out if someone has left the gate open. I live on a fairly quiet street, which doesn't get much traffic other than residents as it is not a through road.
Ratings and reviews
Molly took excellent care of my cat, Frela, during four days of check-in visits. She made sure Frela was fed, cleaned her litter tray, and kept me updated after every visit with messages about what Frela was doing and how she was feeling. I especially appreciated the photos she sent each time, which gave me real peace of mind while I was away. Molly was always quick to respond to my messages, reliable, and clearly cared about making sure Frela was happy and comfortable. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her services to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter.
Perfect as always! Thanks Molly
We cannot thank Molly enough for looking after our Nala for the night. This is the first time she has stayed out without us around. Molly sent little updates throughout the night along with photos which put my mind to rest as I know our dog can be a menace. She followed our routine. We had a lovely message the following morning and Nala looks very comfortable and settled in Molly and Arlo's presence. I would 100% Molly and we will be rebooking in the future. Thank you for everything!
Molly was great and really helped us out at short notice. It was a service for my elderly Mum while we were away and she was great with my Mum and Otto! We’d highly recommend Molly and will be back in touch in future. Many thanks!
Amazing! Molly is so good with my dog Neville. Looks after him and keeps him safe!
Molly was a great sitter, looked after my cat exactly the way I would have done it myself. I was always informed by text and photos, she was really professional. I hope to find her available next time when I travel as well, and would definitely recommend to anyone who wants their pets to be well looked after.

Schedule
I run my own bushcraft and forest school business so I have the joy of spending lots of time outdoors and get to bring any dogs to work with me! If I am not outside, I am likely doing admin at home or making something in the garden (diggers are welcome!), so your pooch will get lots of fuss and attention whether we're at home or exploring green spaces in the north west. I have a merry little cocker spaniel, Arlo, who is my little shadow and loves any and all company, so your pooch will have a playmate to keep them entertained too. I also have an enhanced DBS check certificate, which is within date, which I can present if you wish to see this to ease your mind too.
- Cats0 to 7 kg7 to 18 kg18 to 45 kgMolly can host up to 2 drop-ins per day
- Please let me know if your dog has any specific requirements regarding feeding, medication, and what their likes and dislikes are so I can plan our time together around this and ensure they have a happy stay! As I have a child under 5 and another dog, the safety of them and your own dog is of most importance to me. I am happy to meet you in advance to see if your dog is comfortable with me.
