Highlights
Pet care experience
Dog walker/pet sitter with a wealth of experience.
After many years helping out and then working at my mums dog rescue, and after the loss of my beloved dog, Blue, a few years ago, I decided to start my own dog walking/pet sitting business. I have huge amounts of love for all animals and I have many years experience in the care and welfare of dogs. Having worked at the dog rescue for many years I have gained so much knowledge in every aspect of doggy welfare. I have engaged with abused, neglected and very scared dogs that have come from all sorts of different backgrounds. Many of which have needed copious amounts of love, rehabilitation and training. I have spent time with Dogs Trust learning different training techniques as well as time at Battersea dogs home learning about care and welfare. After losing my dog Blue a few years ago my house has felt very empty and I miss the companionship of a dog, a humans best friend. I have time on my hands at the moment and would enjoy nothing more than helping you to look after your dog or pet, taking them on walks, pet sitting, popping in to give them company or food/snacks and toilet breaks. I have experience of all breeds from the tiniest Chihuahua to large Great Danes. I am fully insured and have my own transport. Please do not hesitate to get in touch if you are looking for help with your beautiful dog or any other pet. I also have experience with cats, chickens, alpacas, donkeys, small furries, birds to name but a few. I also have equine knowledge, having ridden and owned horses for over 30 years. Serving Newark and surrounding areas. Please get in touch with any questions or enquiries. Many thanks.

Safety, trust & environment
Ensuring that your pet is safe and happy is my number one priority. This includes whilst they are in their home, and out for walks. I would never let your dog off the lead unless previously discussed with you. I am happy to administer medication for your dog including tablets, liquids and medications in food, ear drops and cleaning etc. I have my own car and can transport your pet to the vets in an emergency situation.
Ratings and reviews
We are very happy with the care Sarah gave to our elderly Cavalier, Lucy, while we were away on holiday. We had the chance to meet her prior to her stay and felt confident she would manage any of her medications and health issues. Lucy had a great week going out and about with Sarah. I would wholeheartedly recomend her as a dog sitter and the house was spotlessly clean on our return.
First time using Rover so wasn’t sure how I’d feel leaving my dog and cat. But the worrying was not needed! Sarah was absolutely brilliant! Sprout was taken out on so many adventures and made new friends! I know for sure he didn’t miss me! Pusscat Wellie loved the cuddles he had while I was away. To walk into my house after being away to find it immaculate and the animals happy was lovely. I will definitely be using Sarah again.
Sarah did a fantastic job. I would recommend her to anyone who loves their dogs and would like them looking after in an affectionate, knowledgeable way.
Sarah is fantastic. Amazing with our high maintenance and demanding dogs! We had daily updates which was so reassuring when away and we came home to an immaculate house. Thank you Sarah ☺️
Sarah was fantastic, I would book her again and recommend her highly. My dogs, cats, chickens and fish loved her and all looked very happy on my return.
Sarah is an exceptional professional who provides outstanding care for our dog, Max. Her passion for dogs shines through, evident in Max's eager anticipation every time the doorbell rings. Sarah's expertise in canine behaviour and her willingness to go above and beyond—whether it's spending extra playtime, promptly communicating about Max's behaviour, or accommodating our last-minute schedule changes—has given us peace of mind and brought much joy to Max's life. We wholeheartedly recommend Sarah for her excellent, compassionate service.
