Highlights
Pet care experience
I adore all dogs, lots of experience!
I have a rescue Lurcher/saluki and also have fostered numerous rescue dogs over the past 9 years. I’m used to dogs with issues and use the ‘trust technique’ to calm down and help dogs settle into a new environment. At my home there will be lots of enrichment and company for your dog. I love walking and exploring new places so there will be plenty of exercise throughout the day. Experienced with puppies and senior dogs alike. I’m DBS certified.

Ratings and reviews
Our dog was obviously well looked after by Rebecca as he came home relaxed and happy. Rebecca's garden has lots of cool, shady places for a dog to relax in the hot weather and he had walks down to the river. I am very confident in Rebecca and will definitely use her again.
Rebecca is a wonderful "find". From the moment Archie and I met her. We were welcomed into her lovely home and after Archie had had a good sniff he seemed very much at home. I went through his basic routines - likes and dislikes and she was very receptive to what I said. Archie met Rebecca's dog and they were brilliant together. When we dropped Archie off he was very excited - Rebecca had treats ready to coax him up the garden so we could get away without too much fuss. We had messages and pictures sent which really put our mind at rest that he had settled into his new routine. Rebecca was so good with him as due to excessive heat Archie was struggling but she had fans, water etc to keep them cool. If Archie could speak I'm sure he would ask me when he can go again and we most certainly will use Rebecca again. Thank you.
Great sitter, fab photos and updates every day. My dog was initially quite upset about being left but after a few days, Rebecca had worked her magic and he was himself again. My dog had a great experience and it massively eased my mind to know he was having a good time.
I was very nervous at finding a new person to look after Maisie after her previous boarders moved but Rebecca put me at ease and was very good with Maisie from the outset. Maisie can be very anxious in new situations and take time to settle but Rebecca was great and took the time until Maisie relaxed and then thoroughly enjoyed herself. Would definitely trust Rebecca with her again and look forward to Maisie building that bond with her.
Rebecca has looked after our little Moo few times now, and each time he looked so happy!! Thank you for your updates too and pictures, it’s good to know what adventures he is been up to. See you next time!
Winnie had a great time staying with Rebecca for a couple of days whilst we were away for a weekend. Rebecca kept us posted with plenty of updates and pictures throughout Winnie’s stay. Winnie had plenty of walks and enjoyed the company of other dogs during her stay. We’d highly recommend Rebecca and we would definitely book Winnie to stay again.

Schedule
I work from home, Monday to Thursday part time so have plenty of time for walking and caring for your dog. I have a car or can walk from my house to woods or Windmill hill for local dog walks. Also happy to hire my local secure field for dogs with recall issues.

A typical day
I’ll do lots of walks, I live near flood meadows if they like water, or home farm for longer walks. I’ll also use secure fields for off lead enrichment and recall training if there’s a need. We go to the woods and I have a back garden for sleeping in the sun and recharging the batteries. Lots of toys / snacks provided and all sorts can be accommodated.
