Pet care experience
Animal Lover with 23 Years of Pet Care Experience
Animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. From rabbits and dogs to horses, I’ve always had the joy of caring for them. For my 10th birthday, I was gifted my first dog, and from that day on, I took full responsibility for his walks, feeding, playtime, and overall care. That early experience taught me not only the basics of pet care, but also the deep bond that comes from truly looking after an animal. Over the years, I’ve continued to provide care for family and friends’ dogs - whether that means long walks, fun play sessions, or dog sitting. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all ages and sizes, and I especially enjoy giving them the love and attention they deserve when their families can’t be there. Reasons to choose me to look after your dog: - 23 years of hands-on pet care experience - Genuine love for all animals - big or small - Reliable, patient, and attentive - Experienced with both playful puppies and gentle senior dogs For me, spending time with animals is pure joy, and I treat every pet as if they were my own.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Sally is a brilliant dog sitter. My dog is very nervous around new people but after recieving our first photo update, I could see how relaxed and happy she was with Sally. Thank you for taking good care of my pooch ❤️
This is the first time we have left Ralph and I was quite nervous about leaving him as he’s still a young dog with lots of energy. Sally was lovely with him from the minute we first met on a walk before his boarding. Such a lovely person and treat Ralph like her own dog. I honestly had nothing to worry about and he had the best time with her having long walks and cuddles on the sofa. The daily photos and updates were amazing to get. Sally had some settling in issues with him chewing (so sorry again about the TV remote) but didn’t worry me about it whilst I was away and informed me when I picked up Ralph which I really appreciated. I would recommend Sally 100%
Sally was such a great dog sitter and like the rest of the reviews - I would recommend her to anyone! She’s been such a lovely person to deal with and my dog came back so happy (as opposed to anxious when I trialled him at kennels). I received daily photos and updates and could see that he was clearly very comfortable (from day one!😂🙈) thank you so much again. I will definitely be inquiring with Sally when I next need a dog sitter. X
Sally has been great to deal with and Clementine has thoroughly enjoyed her stay with her. We were kept up to date with daily photos and messages which was lovely to see. I would definitely recommend Sally and be booking her services again. 😃
Thank you for looking after Kobe again. Cannot recommend enough!
I would recommend Sally without hesitation. I have an anxious dog who is very wary of strangers. We first arranged a walk so she could meet him, and then scheduled a stay over, which went really well. Sally is clearly very experienced with animals calm, kind, and exactly what my dog needs. He settled in very quickly at her home, which speaks volumes about the care she provides.

Schedule
I work from home two days a week and the other three I’m based locally, which gives me flexibility for pet care during the week. I’m also often available on weekends and love spending that time going for long walks - perfect for keeping dogs happy, healthy, and active.

Safety, trust & environment
Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. Whether I’m caring for pets in their own home or my own, I stick closely to their usual routines, whether that’s feeding, walking, or playtime, so they feel secure and at ease while you’re away. If your pet stays at my home, they’ll enjoy a safe and welcoming environment with a fully fenced garden that’s perfect for play and fresh air. I keep a close eye on dogs during walks and outdoor time, ensuring they’re always secure and happy.
