Highlights
Pet care experience
WFH dog lover, 1:1 care 🐾
I live in the beautiful village of West Tanfield, surrounded by countryside walks right on my doorstep. I’m lucky to have access to a lovely river loop walk, open fields nearby, and regular trips to Thornborough Henges, which is fully fenced and perfect for safe exploring. I work from home most of the time, so your dog will have plenty of company and a calm, relaxed environment throughout the day. They’re more than welcome to join me in my home office — keeping me company as the “office dog” for the day. I’ve had dogs all my life and recently lost my beautiful black Labrador, Ralph, in January. While I’m not quite ready for another dog of my own, I would love to open my home to yours and give them the same love and care. My aim is to provide a true “home away from home” — dogs are welcome to relax freely in the house and garden, and be part of a safe, comfortable environment. I’ll always treat them as if they were my own.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
My Cockapoo had a lovely weekend with Rebecca. It was my first time leaving him with someone outside the family, so I was a little anxious, but Rebecca was fantastic. She kept me updated with daily photos and messages, which really put my mind at ease. I’d definitely book with her again and highly recommend her! 🐾🐶
Stan had a wonderful time staying in Becky’s lovely home. Becky really knows how to look after dogs to the highest standard and the ease of communication and feedback was fantastic throughout. I would not hesitate to have Stan stay again. Excellent job. Would give more than 5 stars if I could 🤩
Lulu had such an amazing time with Becky. She helped me out last minute when I was working in the area, which was really appreciated. I got gorgeous photos of Lulu out on walks and lounging around the house and garden—she was clearly having the best time. She was quite reluctant to leave when I picked her up, which says it all. Becky is so lovely and clearly brilliant with dogs. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her.
My dog can be quite anxious and slow to warm up to new people, but Becky handled him with patience, empathy, and genuine understanding. What impressed me most was her ability to read his body language and behaviours, adjusting her approach, and giving him the space or reassurance he needed. She never rushed him, and because of this, he relaxed around her far more quickly than he usually does with new people. Becky is a true dog person :)
would recommend becky because she is very caring and has an understanding of dogs she has looked after my westie Mabel and she just loves her

Schedule
I work from home most days, so your dog will have plenty of company and care. I can only accept bookings when I’m working from home.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I only take one dog at a time. Dogs are treated like family and I like them to feel relaxed, with free roam, sofas, beds, a garden fully secure, and countryside walks.
A typical day
Typical day: this would be worked around my working hours, so would take them for early morning and evening strolls.. and a nice lunchtime walk.
