Kind, fun and active dog sitters
Pet care experience
Hi, we're Raluca and Steve and we're both big animal lovers. We live in Reigate (South Park area) with our 18month old son and 3 year old flat coated retriever Eric. We have a spacious house, with a fairly big, secure garden, ten minute walk from the fields or Priory Park. We both work from home Mondays and Fridays (our little boy is in nursery) and we'd be available to dog sit at our house. Eric is a very friendly and sociable (neutered), gentle boy who loves the company of other dogs. He plays very gently and he's quite submissive so perfect if you're looking to socialise a puppy. He's good with all breeds. Depending on drop off arrangements, we'll do a walk 8am-9am in the morning and then take them out again for an hour/ hour and half at lunch. We love to play on the walks so we'll do balls, Frisbees or hide pheasants in the forest and let Eric search for it (which being a retriever he loves!). But of course we can tailor the games to your dogs needs to ensure they're getting both physical and mental stimulation in the day. The rest of the time they can enjoy playing in the house and in the garden. We like to stimulate our dog in the day with games of 'find it' in the garden (we usually spread some of his treats around and he loves running around finding them in the grass), more ballgames or chews. If you think we'd be a good fit and your dog would enjoy the companionship in the day, let's organise a meet & greet.
Reviews
My visit to London from Devon was a very last minute, finding Raluca and Steve was a delight, they accommodated Oberon beautifully, l left feeling as though he was in very capable, caring hands, definitely recommend this lovely couple, will use them again.
Raluca & Steve are brilliant, they love dogs and are really attentive. Winston had the time of his life with them, we definitely recommend!!
Delightful people, they clearly love dogs and spoiled my greyhound to bits, they kept me up to date and when I arrived she was lying on their bed! Thanks guys, you’ve been a real find and I thoroughly recommend you to any pet owner x
We have known Raluca for the past three years and one of her key attributes is a love of animals. When she visits she is the first to walk the dogs of our friends and neighbours! She is a very caring and lovely person - and completely reliable. We just know that Raluca will be an ideal care giver for you.

Eric is a very friendly and sociable (neutered), gentle boy who loves the company of other dogs. He plays very gently and he's quite submissive so perfect if you're looking to socialise a puppy. He's good with all breeds and all ages, however he's quite energetic so perhaps not the best fit if you have a really old dog that needs plenty of rest.

We're always keen to know as much as possible about the dogs upfront so we can maintain the same level of discipline, routine and care that your dog is used to.

Services
Raluca & Steve can host
Availability
We both work from home Mondays and Fridays and we'd be available to dog sit at our house. Our little boy is in nursery then and so we can welcome all dogs regardless of whether they are happy to be around children or not. We could also discuss boarding over the weekend, but we'd only be able to accommodate dogs that come from child friendly homes.
