Highlights
Pet care experience
Your dog will feel right at home!
Hello! My name is Sarah and I live with my husband Matthew. I have been looking after people's pets since I was a child, and I've always loved animals. We are an animal loving family (the kind that throw their dogs birthday parties). I am very trustworthy and love having dogs around. We have a detached house and a secure garden with a large lawn for them to play on. A dog in our care will be treated as a family pet and have the run of the house and garden. The can sit on the sofas with us and come upstairs at night . My dogs mean the world to me, and I pride myself on giving all dogs the best possible care. We only take small to medium dogs due to having a little chihuahua who finds large dogs a bit overwhelming, so you don't have to worry about your dog being upset by larger breeds. We may consider a slightly larger dog if it is very calm and/or older. I work part time (2 days per week), and my husband does short days, so the pooches are never on their own very long. We like to take them on at least two good walks per day (45 to 60 minutes) in different locations, typically parks or forests. We make sure all dogs on our care are really happy, and I send regular photos and updates about your pooches because I know how nerve wracking it can be leaving them. We typically look after only one client's dog(s), so your pet(s) would get our full attention. I am happy to give any medication and I have done doggy first aid. Please let us know your dog's routine and likes/dislikes and we will do our very best to accommodate them. We're happy to answer any questions you might have, and we are looking forward to meeting you and your dog!

Sara and family are Wonderful Elvis loved it there walks every day ,other dogs great company for him ,they really understand what a dog needs can highly recommend them so happy and confident of my pet staying with them .🐾
Percy went to stay with Sarah and her family for the first time. We had previously had a meet and greet when they made myself and Percy very welcome. It was very obvious from all the photos Sarah sent whilst I was away that he was having a wonderful time and enjoying himself. I would most certainly recommend Sarah to anyone lovely family who love dogs!
Took my dog, Rupert, to Sarah for a night whilst I went to a gig. Felt very comfortable right from the start. He was welcomed into the house and introduced to the pack. I got loads of photos and video updates and reassurance that he was safe and having a fun time. Fantastic communication at all points and I found a very happy dog when I went to pick him up. Would definitely recommend and will be using Sarah and family again 🐶😊
Thank you to Sarah, Matt and the boys. Terry went to stay for a few days while we went to a family wedding. He had a great time and was really welcomed into the family, in fact, not sure he wanted to come back! Will definitely be going back again. Thank you so much
I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Sarah. I've known her for more than 30 years, and she's always been besotted with animals, especially dogs and guinea pigs. Her pets are integral parts of her family and are utterly loved and superbly cared for. I have no doubt she will welcome your dog into her home and treat it as her own.

Schedule
I work part time (2 days), and my husband works from home sometimes and does short days, so our dogs (and yours) will seldom be left alone, and never for very long. We walk them 2 to 3 times a day in a range of locations to keep it fun!

A typical day
We love to take the dogs to a range of settings such as parks and woods. We play ball in the back garden plus tuggy rope and bubbles. Whatever they enjoy really! Lots of cuddles, too, if that's what they like.
