My husband and I work from home in a 3 bed terraced house with a fenced garden. I am in charge of my own schedule and free to concentrate on looking after other peoples dogs while he looks after our own. We always keep our own dogs completely seperate from the dogs we look after to reduce stress on our dachshunds from constantly having to meet new dogs. Sometimes they are kept gated upstairs and other times my husband will take them elsewhere. I am available weekdays and weekends. I'll adapt my day to suit your dogs and I'll make sure they are happy, stimulated and relaxed with constant picture updates. We can take up to three dogs from the same family. We can accept dogs from different families only if all owners are happy and the dogs are well behaved and social. We cannot accept any booking without meeting the dog first at our home. Dogs should be crate trained or well trained enough to stay in their bed for overnight stays. Unfortunately we cannot accept dogs who are loud overnight to protect our neighbours (no complaints at all so far!).

I'll never force attention onto your dog other than using distractions such as treats and toys, I'll let them come to me when they're ready to say hello in the early stages to allow them to get to know me gradually. The more info you can tell me about your pup the better!

Information Rebecca H. would like to know about your pet
Please inform me: - If your dog has any allergies and if they are on any medication. - What your dogs diet and schedule for feeding and walking is. - Which situations / triggers cause your dog to be reactive, if any.
A typical day
Some dogs like playing pretty much constantly! Others just want to be on your lap on the sofa or want their own space. Some love to say hello to other dogs and humans when out and about, others get really fearful on walks. Some hate fast movements, others aren't bothered. I'll get to know your dog and the areas that they enjoy having their walks and adapt plans for their needs. I know of some lovely areas in Andover if you would like your dog to experience new places. If not I'll stick to your local / usual walks. House care is also just as important, I'll treat your home like it's my own.

Pet care experience
*Insured for pet sitting, walking, pet transportation and first aid trained* Hello! Excited to meet you and your fluffy pals. I'm dog mad, I have two miniature dachshunds (both rescues) who have separation anxiety and bark like Dobermans as soon as we set foot outside the house. I know what it's like not to be able to leave your dog alone, I use dog sitters myself frequently. I find it extremely difficult leaving my doxies with someone else so I can appreciate how nervous you might be feeling! I'll make it my mission not only to make your dog feel comfortable but you as well. I let dogs approach me first and calmly throw treats for them in the initial meeting, without overwhelming them with attention immediately. Some dogs are uber friendly and this might be unnecessary! But I find this is usually the fastest way to making friends. I've never known life without dogs. I was 20 (I'm 30 now) when I helped my 15 year old cocker spaniel through his old age, my parents surprised me with him as a puppy when I was 5. I also had a beautiful Spaniel cross rescue girl as a second family dog and a visiting Border Collie who was very protective of my younger self. My first loves! Over the years I have dog sat for many friends, family and colleagues - everything from a Shih Tzu, Maltese, Labradoodle, Labrador to a Greek Kokoni and beyond!
Reviews


Rebecca and her husband Tom have been true life savers who provided such a wonderful care to our cat Smudge and rescue dog Suki. This is the first time we left Smudge and Suki in the care of someone who they didn't know very well and they are both quite quirky pets, so to be able to know that they were so well cared for gave us true peace of mind and allowed to enjoy our 9 night holiday. I would give more than 5 stars if I could and I cannot recommend highly enough.

It was lovely to know the dogs were well taken care of while we were away. They had a great time with Rebecca, the regular photos showed us they were happy and had fun! Thank you Rebecca

Rebecca looked after my cat Otto on two occasions when I was away, and both times I came home to a very happy cat. She also kept me well informed and sent me many pictures. Would definitely recommend her services.


Rebecca was brilliant with both of our dogs. They both relaxed really quickly her. Really appreciated her communication and the updates. Will absolutely be in contact again if we are in need of dog care near her.
