Highlights
Pet care experience
Very experienced & caring
If you want your dog to be happy, relaxed & safe then don't hesitate to arrange a meet up. I offer a genuinely loving & kind premium service giving your pet 1-1 treatment . They will become part of our family. I am very experienced with dealing with different temperaments of dogs & have always managed to calm and reassure dogs away from their usual environment. I adore all animals and have looked after many different breeds & ages of dogs. I have cared for 8 of my own wonderful pets & currently own 2 small & very friendly dogs who love the company of other dogs. They are very good at initiating play & will be great company for your dog. I can assure you that your dog won't feel lonely with my two & they will be supervised at all times. All the dogs I have looked after love staying with me & are more than happy to return. I have a large open plan dining area that opens on to the garden where they can play & relax. I have a lovely field right at the rear of my property for all-weather walks & I'm 10 mins away from 2 large parks. I often drive to Twickenham, Richmond & Bedfont Lakes. I’m experienced with basic safety training & first aid. I am confident in dealing with rescue dogs & those who have anxiety & other behavioural issues. I am a semi-retired professional primary teacher with years of experience in a highly responsible role. I treat animals like I would children, with the utmost care, respect & love. I really enjoy their company & rewarding them with lots of love, affection & treats. I am totally trust worthy (CRB checked) & more than happy to meet up at a dog walking place of your choice or for you to visit my home before you commit to a booking. I love walking in all weathers and I'm fit so your dogs will be well exercised and really happy! Your fur babies will become part of our family & I will do everything I can to ensure they are safe relaxed & happy. Walks are included in booking fee. I own a safe SUV with a contained dog compartment so I can offer a safe pick up & drop off if needed. Fees depend on distance. 😁🐕💜

Ratings and reviews
Great sitter, came round to meet me and my cat prior to the booking and was great with him. Looked after him well and kept us updated of her visits with pictures. Will definitely rebook with Sarah again when we go away
A lovely lady in whose home our dogs immediately felt at home. Thanks Sarah
Sarah was great! Super experienced with dogs and took him to bushy park which he loved. He seems very happy!
Betsy seemed well taken care of whilst we were away. Sarah sent us updates and reassured us that she was well and enjoying nice walks and cuddles while we were away from her for the longest we have ever been. Betsy seemed very comfortable and affectionate with Sarah. Sarah was unwell on the first day she was supposed to house sit, and was considerate to not make us sick, but still came to pick Betsy up. I can't comment on house sitting too much as she only landed up staying at ours for one night, as Betsy was anxious coming back there without us being home and was more comfortable at Sarah's, so in future we would book boarding at Sarah's house instead, and am sure Betsy would be happy to go back.
Ziggy and Frankie had a lovely stay with Sarah and we had lots of updates and photos. Sarah is very responsive and we had a meet and greet before the stay and met Sarah's beautiful dogs. The boys came back home very happy and relaxed!
Sarah was fantastic - Patsy had such a lovely day with her and she made us feel so safe and supported. Wouldn’t hesitate to book again!

Pets
A typical day
Your dog will not feel lonely & will have so much fun with my 2. I live near several lovely parks where your dog/dogs can enjoy long walks with me and my 2 dogs or separately if you prefer. I have a safe enclosed garden which backs on to a field, where they can have a short walk in all weathers. I also drive to Bushy, Richmond, Twickenham park & Bedfont Lakes. My dogs love playing with other dogs & the ball. Your dog will be part of our family and will not be short of attention and fuss. They will receive basic command rewards & treats. Your dog will be separated from my dogs at night and when un attended. If your dog has anxiety they can stay with me at night. Rest assured that your dogs will always be fed separately and have access to plenty of fresh water.
