Hello! I hold a North Devon Council Animal Welfare/Home-Boarding Licence (AWL0112), awarded Gold Standard. A licence is a legal requirement for boarding and daycare. Using an unlicensed home-boarder will invalidate your dog’s insurance and the sitter is breaking the law. My husband and I both adore animals. We offer a loving, home-from-home environment, where dogs stay in our house with us, enjoying normal home life, cuddles on the sofa, routines, and plenty of adventures. I usually only take 1 family at a time, but can take 2 if your dog loves other dogs, so your pet/s will have our full attention. 💛 £15 OFF if you are a first-time Rover user – use code NICKYM97818 🏷️ Discounts for longer stays (3+ days). I have years of professional experience with animals. We live in a quiet village with private access to fields, woods, and acres of beautiful farmland, plus 24 hr access to a secure dog-walking field in our village, ideal for dogs that can’t be off-lead. We’re both DBS checked, I’m fully insured, and registered with pet-sitting agencies. My aim is simple: for you to fully relax while you’re away, knowing your pet is safe, legal, happy, and having fun. I’ll send you daily photos and videos so you can see what we’re up to! I’m fully flexible and can fit around your wishes and your pet’s routine. I help with home-boarding, drop-ins, house sitting, weddings, funerals, holidays, emergency hospital stays, or even a day at the beach or shopping. I’ve worked with animals my whole life - from horses, dogs, farm animals & livestock, exotics to wildlife parks (even tigers!), birds of prey, and stunt & film horses. I have experience with and also fostered reactive and rescue dogs, and have professional experience with fearful and anxious animals. Home-boarding note: dogs must be fully vaccinated and recently flea-treated before their stay or trial night (a trial night is required for a 3-night+ stay in our home). House sitting: I actually love it! Certain pets (such as elderly, deaf or visually impaired dogs) are at ease in their own home and routine - and I love exploring new areas! I can collect post or deliveries, water plants and keep an eye on things while you are away, giving you the security that your home is not empty. My husband is sometimes free to join me on house sits, with prior approval of course. He also loves dogs, walking and the outdoors. Rover charges a service fee on bookings. They deduct 15% from the sitter’s fee, and customers also pay a separate service fee. This covers Rover’s insurance, secure payments, and 24/7 emergency support. NB: (fuel charges to apply depending on location 0.45/mile). Thank you - please feel free to get in touch with any questions.
