Highlights
Pet care experience
Compassionate and caring dog lover
Since I’ve loved dogs all my life, I’ve read a lot about their behaviours in my spare time. We have one dog and look after other dogs including senior dogs of family and friends, regularly. Both me and my partner Alex have had dogs since we were children. Experience with training dogs and puppies too. We have a large secure garden for roaming and sniffing. We love to go for morning and evening walks every day and there’s a great walking path close by, perfect for dog walks. On the weekends we tend to go to local parks for fresh air whatever the weather! I understand the needs of different types of dogs, whether that’s energy levels, age or personality and cater their day to suit them. It is so important to be that they feel happy and comfortable with us. If your dog needs a loving holiday home with a stable routine for a while, plus a very friendly happy well behaved dog and two children who adore dogs but give them space, then we would love to welcome your fur baby from your home to ours. Please get in touch :)
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
I had a great experience with Olivia. She looked after my Labrador for two weeks. I got very regular updates, lots of photos and videos daily and I could tell my dog had a great time there as he was happy to cuddle with her. Would definitely recommend her!
Olivia is a great dog border, my dog loves spending time with her and her family; she gets fussed just as much as we do at home. This is my second booking with Olivia and she is going to be our go to for when we travel and are not able to take our dog with us. I would highly recommend her.
Dexter had another fantastic weekend at Olivia's. He came home completely exhausted and he loves it at her house, he gets very excited when we get there. She sent me loads of photos and videos of what he was up to and was helpful on being flexible with drop off and pick up time. She will always be our first choice for Dexter when we go away!
Olivia has been fantastic looking after Vince. He had the best time playing with other dogs and relaxing on the sofa. We really appreciated the daily updates, pictures and videos, making us feel confident he was happy whilst we were away! We would definitely use Olivia again :)
Couldn’t be happier with the care Pablo received! Olivia and Alex took fantastic care of him all week, treating him like one of their own. He got plenty of great walks, and the daily picture updates brought peace of mind while I was away. Pablo came home happy and well rested. I’ll definitely be booking with them again highly recommended!
Willow had a fantastic time at Olivia’s! Olivia had great communication before, during and after Willow’s stay. She was also really understanding around our timings which we really appreciated. Thank you so much!

Schedule
I work from home with opportunity to play, cuddle and look at your fur baby. I have dog called Jasper, who loves to have friends over so will keep your dog company. We love being at home and one of us is always around. A typical day would be a morning sniff and runaround the garden first thing, or walk and then breakfast. Around lunchtime is also treat time and a little play and fuss, 5pm we’re in the kitchen/garden, and it’s playtime before dinner for dogs as and when adjusted to their needs. Finishing the day with an after dinner walk and snuggles on the sofa.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have a large fenced garden to keep your dogs safe, with my dog loving company. I can happily crate your dog if needed. We have a few areas downstairs if dogs would like their own time/ sleep without being disturbed too.
Pets
A typical day
It’s important to keep dogs stimulated physically and mentally and I will cater to your dogs needs and age. As dogs love routine I will make sure I tailor that to each individual dog but love to make sure they have had their walks, runaround in the garden, sniffed the local areas and had fun searching for treats, with a chill on the sofa in the evening.

- Let me know about your pets in advance; any behaviours or routines or separation anxiety. Dogs that stay with us must not show signs of aggression or anxiety. I cannot accept dogs that have resource guarding issues, excessive barking or aggression as I have children and other dogs. Please also make sure your dog is generally healthy and settled without you. My priority is the dogs wellbeing and the dogs that are already with me. My children are not at home during the day in the week and they are familiar with dogs including mature dogs that need space. We have baby gates to separate dogs that want to have a snooze or some quiet time.
