Highlights
Pet care experience
Tail wagging cuddles & care
As a dog owner for over 25 years, I understand the difficulties dog owners face when they need to leave their poppets. I have never been able to leave any of ours at kennels as they love their sofa & bed snuggles (not forgetting a nice pillow!); which is why I decided to open my home to others’ poppets. I am home all day and can look after your poppet 24/7. My husband is home in the evening / weekends. I offer a loving family home where your poppet will become one of us, a true family member. I have experience looking after a variety of dogs of all ages, am Canine First Aid trained, and DBS checked. In most circumstances, I can take poorly poppets, including administering medication, as long as under veterinary care. Our home has a nice, fenced garden for regular toilet breaks and play, and I provide a range of enrichment activities, and daily walks (park, beach and/or countryside). I aim to only take one (max 2) poppet/household at a time. This way, they get my full attention and do not feel overwhelmed by others. I encourage a meet & greet, and that your poppet comes to ours with any blankets / favourite toys / others they prefer, and which will carry their home sense with them.

Ratings and reviews
Baillie was well looked after and was happy when I picked him up Their home was a safe with a space to play
Brilliant we had a emergency and she helped by dropping hollie of home which was a great help thank you
As always, can't speak highly enough of Rita's care for Bubble - wouldn't go with any other sitter
We are so happy we have found Rita after moving into the area. Our dog Emi is treated like one of her own and I love having the peace of mind that she is being well looked after. Rita provides regular updates and was excellent caring for our dog at the tail end of recovering from a stomach upset. Rita was happy to monitor her a little more closely & feed a special diet. Would recommend Rita to anyone.
Great hollie really enjoyed her visit thank youx
Dear Rita, thank you so much for caring for Alfie over the weekend. We know you gave him all the love and care that we would have hoped for. The pictures you sent said it all. Looks like he really settled in and was spoilt rotten. We would definitely be happy to recommend you to friends and family. Love to you, Pedro and Buster. Lesley & Roger
