I joined Rover in January 2024 and have lost count of all the dogs we’ve had the pleasure of looking after, including a Dachshund, English bulldogs, Spaniels, Labradors, Border Collies and mixed breeds and rescue dogs of all varieties! I offer a home away from home, where I live with my partner Steve and my mum. We have a large garden and are located next to Sutton Park where Steve and I love to walk and run. I grew up with a Border Terrier and began regularly dog sitting my wider family's dogs before joining Rover as I really enjoy getting to know different dogs and their personalities. While your dog is in our care, we treat them like our own. We only take on one dog (or dogs from one household) at a time, so we can give them all our attention and love. A typical day would include a walk in the morning before I start work, playtime in the garden around lunchtime, and a walk in the evening, with plenty of toilet breaks and cuddles throughout the day. On weekends we sometimes take dogs on days out to places like Cannock Chase, Kingsbury Waterpark, and Matlock Bath, or a nice dog friendly cafe, pub or garden centre (we will always get the permission from owners beforehand). I send plenty of photos and videos throughout their stay so you can see what they’ve been up to. I ask that drop offs are after 9.30am on weekdays, and after 10.30am on weekends and that pick ups are before 7.30pm. If we sound like a good match for you and your dog, please get in touch with some details about your dog, such as their temperament with people/other dogs, if they’ve previously stayed overnight at a kennels or dog sitter, their typical routine, and any health or medical needs.
