Loving & Trustworthy Dog Care

Loving & Trustworthy Dog Sitter with a Lifetime of Experience Hi, I’m Rachel, a lifelong dog lover with over 35 years of experience caring for dogs of all shapes and sizes. While I may not have formal pet care qualifications, I’ve been around dogs my entire life and regularly care for family, friends, and neighbours' pets. From energetic Jack Russells to gentle Labradors, playful Spaniels to loyal Boxers, I’ve looked after a wide range of breeds and personalities. I know how important it is to find someone who will treat your dog like family, and that’s exactly what I do! Whether it’s walks, playtime, cuddles, or keeping to their usual routine, I’ll ensure your furry friend is happy, safe, and well cared for. Looking forward to meeting your pup!

Sorting out a time was easy and Rachel was very accommodating. My dog stayed with them for 5 nights and had a fantastic time and was well taken care of. I think we've found our new regular place to take care of Biscuit. Thanks!

Rachel kept us informed during the booking. She has a large open garden and a spacious environment in her house. Hudson was 'right at home' within minutes of us arriving.

Thank you for looking after Beau for so long, Rachel. He thoroughly enjoyed his time with you and your lovely family. He will see you soon, I’m sure of that.

Rachel was fantastic with Bilbo! She was very friendly and welcoming and it was clear that my young puppy had a great time with her. He came home very happy and tired! Will definitely book again!

Schedule

Flexible & Caring Dog Sitter – Available Weekdays & Weekends As a self-employed, work-from-home single mum, pet sitting fits perfectly into my life. I have a flexible schedule, allowing me to provide loving and attentive care to your dog. My junior school-aged child has been taught how to respect and treat animals kindly, so your pet will always be in a calm and caring environment. I’m available on weekdays and every other weekend, ensuring your furry friend gets the attention, walks, and companionship they need while you're away.

Safety, trust & environment

A Safe, Spacious & Loving Home for Your Dog Your furry friend will be cared for in a secure, comfortable, and loving environment. My large three-bedroom home offers plenty of space for your dog to relax, and the very large garden is fully enclosed with a 6ft fence and a secure gate for peace of mind. I understand the importance of catering to your dog’s individual needs—whether that’s a crate, a special diet, or sticking to their usual routine.

A typical day

I love going on long walks with dogs we have a large park 5 minutes away from home for a good walk/run with a ball. Our garden is also very large to play fetch and of course there will be lots of attention and cuddles if the dog would like them.

Rachel M can host up to 3 pets per night
If you furry friend has any special dietary requirements or needs time to themselves please inform us and we will be respectful to your pets needs. If they eat at a certain time, follow certain commands on a walk or needs to be walked at certain times of the day we will cater for your dogs needs. Please note during the week I will have to leave the dog in the home to collect my son from school in the morning and afternoons.
