A really good service Poppy and Will answer all queries promptly. They have a lovely Sausage dog called Wally who played all day with my puppy Skye.

Our dog Corbyn, stayed with Poppy, Will and their lovely dog Wally for 9 nights. Corbyn had a great time and looks like he has been well looked after. We enjoyed the photos and video updates from Poppy, looks like Corbyn and Wally are the best of friends! We hope to book with them again. Thank you! ?

Our spaniel had a fantastic time with Poppy and didn't seem to want to come home! She got plenty of fresh air and attention and we felt she was in the best possible hands. We will definitely use Poppy again - she's friendly and responsible and super-communicative. A total gem.

Safety, trust & environment

I have my own home with my boyfriend who is a farmer. We are based in a quiet village and have a secure large garden as well as lovely walks near by. We have our own friendly, playful Dachshund that also lives with us. We have a secure utility room or spare room for your dog to stay on an evening. During the day they are allowed in the house and on the sofa as well as being able to roam freely in the garden.

Information Poppy S. would like to know about your pet

All dogs must be friendly as we have a playful dachshund, Wally, who loves company. If your dog has any allergies or medical condition we need to be aware of. And also if your dog loves cuddles!!

A typical day

I love the outdoors no matter the weather! I usually get up early (I’m an early bird) and walk the dogs then do work from home (outside if it’s sunny). And then play in the garden or go for a run in the afternoon before making tea and having a final walk before bed.

Availability

After my first summer using Rover last year, I had a great summer looking after wonderful dogs and look forward to do the same this year. I currently work from home and are therefore, I am extremely flexible when looking after dogs for other people as I can fit it around my schedule. There is usually either myself or my partner always as home as we work from home. We also have a camera set up in the utility room so we are able to keep an eye on the dogs if we briefly pop out.
