Home All Day – Mother Daughter Dog Sitting Team
My mum and I have lived with dogs and cats are whole lives. We have a sausage dog named Charlie who is the beloved baby of the family. We also have two cats: Lola and Leo. Charlie and the cats gets along wonderfully with small dogs- the more little doggos around, the merrier!

Ratings and reviews
Our Sprocker absolutely loved her week-long holiday with Monique, Portia and their dog, Charlie. We were kept regularly updated with lots of photos and stories of her adventures, from fantastic walks to meeting new canine friends. Monique is incredibly conscientious, always checking for ticks after walks and taking great care to follow our dog's dietary needs and any other requirements. It was clear throughout her stay that she was being treated as one of the family. We are delighted that we chose Monique and Portia to look after her. Knowing she was so happy and well cared for meant we could relax and enjoy our own holiday, and we wouldn't hesitate to book with them again. We just hope our diaries align for future stays!
Monique really helped me out last minute and Monica had a great time at her place. She settled in really well and seemed to really enjoy it. I'll be using Monique and Porter again.
Portia was absolutely wonderful with my 16 week puppy. My pup can be a bit nervous of new places and other dogs, but Portia was so patient, kind, and accommodating, and somehow managed to turn my timid puppy into a happy, confident little social butterfly. It was amazing to see how comfortable and relaxed she became during her stay, and how well she got on with the other dogs. I loved receiving regular updates and photos, which really put my mind at ease and showed just how much fun she was having. I picked up a happy, tired puppy who had clearly had a fantastic time. I wouldn't hesitate to leave her with Portia again and would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, trustworthy, and genuinely brilliant dog sitter 🐶🐾 Thank you again!
Our 18 month old absolutely loved her sleepover with Monique and Charlie. We received regular updates of her adventures with lots of pictures and videos and felt really assured that she was having a fantastic time whilst away from home.
Portia really helped me out last minute and honey had a great day with the other dogs.she was well looked after and I will definitely use portia again and highly recommend
This was the first time I’ve ever left my dog with anyone other than friends, and Monique completely eased my worries from the very first meet and greet. Her home is calm, welcoming, and full of love for dogs - it truly felt like the perfect environment for Suzie. Monique went above and beyond to make sure Suzie was happy and comfortable, and the regular updates gave me such peace of mind while I was away. When I picked Suzie up, she was relaxed, content, and clearly had been treated like family. I’m so grateful for the care and kindness Monique showed us both. Thank you, Monique, for making this experience so positive - I wouldn’t hesitate to book again and highly recommend you to anyone looking for someone who genuinely loves and understands dogs.

Schedule
We provide a calm, cozy, and pet-friendly environment where your dog will be treated like family. My mum and I both work from home, so there will always be someone around to give your dog attention, playtime, and regular toilet breaks. I’ll be starting my Master’s program in September, but she’ll be happily continuing with dog sitting while I study.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Our fenced garden offers a safe space for outdoor time, and Charlie enjoys popping in and out through the cat flap. I’ll be home everyday to take the dogs for walks if desired and give them plenty of playtime and cuddles. If I’m caring for your pet in your home, I’ll follow your routines closely to help your dog feel comfortable and secure. I treat every home and pet with the same respect and care I would want for my own.

A typical day
