Highlights
Pet care experience
Hotel for dogs, long walks & belly rubs included!
Hello, I’m a part-time freelance Graphic Designer who works from home, but I very often find myself twiddling my thumbs during the day, so I have lots of spare time to care for your dogs! I’ve always been a huge lover of dogs of all shapes and sizes. I owned a very lovely, lively border collie, so have plenty of experience looking after and walking highly energetic and intelligent dogs that require lots of attention, play and exercise. I’ve also been part of another dog walking service for a few years and active on Rover for 5 years, so I have lots of experience looking after other people’s dogs and know how to make sure they are happy and at ease in a new and strange environment. I’m a very active and outdoor-loving person, so very happy to take dogs on long countryside walks as well as city strolls. I can be very flexible with bookings and hope to get in contact with owners on a long term basis. Hope to meet you and your pets soon!
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Poppy provides a home from home… Reggie was immediately comfortable which was great to see. Lots of comms through the stay. Thoroughly recommended. Giving five stars because I can’t give six!
Otto had a great day with Poppy. I booked very last minute and Poppy was very accommodating and helpful.
I would definitely recommend Poppy, she's been great with our dog Ella who has now been on holiday twice. As Ella can be a bit nervous when away from us I was worried about finding a new dog sitter, but Poppy has been absolutely amazing with her. Ella jumped straight into the van when being picked up and came back very relaxed and happy. It's a real peace of mind to know Ella is being looked after so well and we will definitely book Poppy again!
Tilly had a wonderful overnight stay with Poppy and from the photos we received she loved her stay - fabulous walk by the side of the canal and then relaxing on the sofa in front of the TV!
Ruby had a great time with Poppy. I would definitely use her services again.
Highly recommend Poppy!!! It was my first time leaving Lola with someone other than family and she hurt her foot the night before dropping her off, so I was a little anxious at first. Poppy quickly relieved me of those feelings when I saw images of how happy and comfortable Lola was with her! Poppy and Tom took incredible care of Lola - long walks, lots of love and attention - AND went above and beyond with picking her up and dropping her off at my house when my schedule was thrown off. I’m so grateful to Poppy for the amazing care she took of Lola!

Schedule
I work part time, so I have plenty of time to look after your pet, and love to take the time for a decent walk on the beach or in the woods so everyone gets lots of fresh air and exercise every day. I have a toddler in childcare three days a week (Tuesday to Thursday), so on these days I will need to factor in drop off and pick up. Otherwise my schedule is very flexible.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have a safe fenced garden with lots of plants and lawn for dogs to enjoy. My house is open plan so dogs will never feel shut off or left alone anywhere.
A typical day
Lots of time outside, at the park, beach, woods or playing in the garden. And of course a nice cosy space to a nap too!
