Trusted Dog Companion You Can Rely On
In the past, I had a dog of my own, and when he passed away I was deeply heartbroken. Since then, I’ve often looked after dogs for friends and colleagues while they were on holiday. The golden retriever and border collie in my photos belong to close friends — they would stay with me whenever their families traveled. Apart from the golden retriever being adorably jealous whenever I gave the border collie attention, we all shared wonderful times together. I’m confident handling daily routines such as feeding, walks, and toilet breaks, but I also pay close attention to details like medication schedules, comfort, and companionship. My goal is to make your pets feel like they’re part of my own family while you’re away.

Qi very kindly looked after our rescue dog while we had a full day of house viewings. It was the first time we’d ever left him with someone other than family and I was nervous to do so as he’s not without his quirks but Ozzy had a lovely time making a new friend for the day and I had endless photos and updates which gave such piece of mind. Thank you!
Qi took good care of our dog.
Absolutely amazing! She was so loving and caring towards our little ones. We received daily updates with lovely photos of their walks and playtime, and she even took them out for a day at the park! 🥰 We absolutely loved the service and felt so happy knowing they were being well looked after. We will definitely book again! 😍🐾
Qi is a lovely lady and took such good care of Luna! Sending me regular updates. She really cares about making the dogs stay a nice as she can ! We will be using her in the future.!!
I introduced our golden retriever Bo to Qi and her husband before he was due to stay with them and a little later we met them again by chance, and Bo rushed up to say hello. It was clear he was delighted to see them before he spent three nights at their home. Qi kept me informed how he was settling with them and I was pleased but not surprised it was immediate. He was also reluctant to leave when I picked him up. Which says it all.
Qi took wonderful care of Bonnie for eight days and treated her as if she were her own. Bonnie enjoyed long walks every morning and evening, plenty of time relaxing in the garden, and quickly made herself at home—claiming the sofa whenever she could and curling up under Qi’s desk while she worked! As Bonnie sometimes loses her appetite when she's away from us, Qi patiently encouraged her to eat, even hand-feeding her when needed. Throughout Bonnie’s stay, Qi kept us updated with lots of photos and videos, which gave us complete peace of mind. We honestly couldn't have wished for a kinder, more caring sitter. I would recommend Qi without hesitation and would happily leave Bonnie with her again.

Schedule
I work from home, so I’m home every day, which allows me to care for a pet throughout the day. I feed them on schedule, provide fresh water, and keep their environment clean. I spend time daily playing and exercising with them to keep them healthy and happy.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
At our home, we provide a calm and welcoming environment with a secure garden where dogs can enjoy fresh air and play safely. We never leave dogs unattended outside and always make sure gates and doors are closed properly. Because we spend most of our time working from home, your pet will have plenty of company, attention, and care throughout the day. We keep to their usual feeding and walking schedule as closely as possible to make them feel at ease.
A typical day
Since I work from home, I’m around all day and can closely monitor the pet’s needs. A typical day starts with feeding and fresh water, followed by some playtime or a short walk if needed. During work hours, I make sure the pet has a comfortable space and toys to keep them mentally stimulated. I take breaks to give attention and interact with them throughout the day. In the evening, I spend more time playing, cuddling, and exercising. Once a week, I do grooming, such as brushing or cleaning, and check on their overall health.” Fun activities I’ll do with the pets: I enjoy interactive play like fetch, tug-of-war, or hide-and-seek for dogs, and toys or puzzle feeders for cats. I also like going for walks, exploring safe outdoor areas, or practicing gentle training exercises. Depending on the pet’s personality, I may include snuggle time, gentle brushing, or introducing new toys to keep them engaged and happy.

- It’s important for me to know any specific routines, dietary needs, or medical requirements the pet has. I also like to understand their temperament, favorite activities, any fears or triggers, and how they interact with people or other animals. Knowing these details ahead of time helps me provide a safe, comfortable, and enjoyable experience tailored to each pet’s needs.“ I particularly prefer friendly and gentle dogs such as Labradors, Border Collies, and Golden Retrievers.
