Safe Hands, Long Walks & 24/7 Care

About Me I was raised with two Patterdales and all of the wonderful, loud chaos they embodied! That experience taught me everything from handling medications to the patience required for special-needs and rescue dogs. I now work remotely, so I offer something unique: total availability. I don’t balance this with an office job, so your pet becomes my primary focus. Whether they need a 5k trail run or a five-hour sofa snuggle, I have the time and the energy to make it happen. Active for Animals: If you have a high-energy dog, they’ve met their match. I’m physically fit and love nothing more than attaching a lead to my belt for a long jog or a brisk park run. I make sure active breeds get the physical and mental stimulation they crave so they’re ready to relax by the time we get home. The Home-from-Home: I genuinely prefer dogs to people, and in this house, pets are treated like family. Because I’m home all day, your pet will never be 'on a timer.' They’ll have constant company, a fenced garden to frolic in, and a guaranteed spot on the sofa (unless you’ve trained them otherwise!). I follow your exact routine to the letter, ensuring they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. Professional Peace of Mind: With a professional background in the NHS and public service, I bring a level of reliability and 'cool-headedness' that owners appreciate. I’m comfortable with medical needs, high-anxiety pets, and complex routines. I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing they’re having as much fun as you are.

Ross and his partner were absolutely brilliant with Luna on really short notice. He was very thorough in wanting to understand Lunas needs before meeting which is great. Luna had a brilliant time and had settled in straight away. Will definitely be in touch in the future!

Ross and his partner were amazing with my dog Lando and treated him like he was their own. I felt very reassured knowing how much they both cared for Lando and will definitely be booking future sits.

Amazing dogsitter! Ross and his partner cared very well for my big boy Ice and made sure he feels very loved and at home. Got a lot of updates on him and from all the media i saw, i could tell my Ice was very comfortable. Thank you both! Would definitely bring him here again.

Ross and his partner Chedd were absolutely wonderful with our dog Max during his 8-day stay. Max had just gone through an allergic reaction and was on steroids, so he was a bit more anxious and fearful than usual. Despite that, Ross and Chedd were incredibly patient, caring, and attentive — they managed to calm him and make him feel right at home. They kept me updated throughout the stay and reached out right away when Max developed a small skin reaction, making sure he got the care he needed. Their communication and compassion really stood out, and I could tell Max was in great hands. If they were able to take such great care of Max in this state, I’m confident they can perfectly take care of any dog. I’d definitely trust them again and highly recommend them!

Safety, trust & environment

I basically treat pets like they are family! I am more than happy to have a nice long meet-and-greet where we discuss your furry friend's specific needs, and how we can best make sure the sit is a great fit for me, you and (most importantly), the pet.

A typical day

I can be very flexible to follow your pet's routine to make sure that they do not have their routine affected too much by not being at home. I now work remotely, so can dedicate all my time to your furry family member!

I basically want to know what their routine is. How can I make sure that we follow it best as we can. I also would like to know what their exercise routine looks like, what their habits (good and bad) are, as well as their favourite toy/game/treat.
