Now, I enjoy caring for other people's pets, including my neighbour's, friend's and family's pets, anyone's really. I love animals. Over the years have often found myself away from the madding crowd, in a quiet corner, making a new canine/feline friend.

Information Sarah P. would like to know about your pet

Any information that will make their time with me as comfortable and entertaining as possible would be useful - including any character quirks, and knowledge about their usual routine, so I can create a perfect holiday for them, whether at home or away.

A typical day

We'll play games indoors and go for adventures outside, taking favourite toys, balls, sticks etc. to add to the excitement. There are many local walks here with lots to see and smell and if your canine friend likes to socialise, there are trails where they can meet lots of friends along the way. If I am caring for your little friend in your lay of the land, you can depend on me to walk them in familiar places and so they can continue to enjoy their usual stimulation.

A safe, nurturing half-way home.

Pet care experience

I took care of my beautiful and gentle tricolour Collie, 'Slipper,' for five years before she passed at 17 years old. She was pretty and quirky and a pure delight to be around and simply overjoyed with running after her stick and socialising - a real people-person.

We were looking for day and overnight care for Ollie and Pippa last minute as we needed to go to visit a friend who is very unwell. We hadn’t used Sarah before and had only left our doggies with other minders on a couple of occasions. After our initial contact with Sarah we arranged a meet and greet on Monday prior to our trip on Tuesday. Sarah was very friendly and extremely helpful in accommodating our request. She carefully listened to us regarding our doggies needs and we felt comfortable and confident in leaving them in her care. During their stay with her she kept us updated which further reassured us that all was well and that they were happy. Sarah provided an excellent service and we will definitely use her again (if she will have us!) It’s not always easy to find good care hence the reason that we don’t leave our doggies very often. It is good to know that we will now be able to leave them more often with someone that they like and we trust. Thank you so much Sarah & Saul 🐾

Sarah was friendly and kept us up to date. Belle loved her stay and we will definitely book Sarah again for Belle’s stays.

Oscar and Dill tell me they have had a terrific time while we've been away. Very happy with the care provided. Thank you Sarah

Dotty loved staying overnight with Sarah. We were really nervous having to find someone new having moved house- but Sarah was great. I met with her prior to Dotty’s stay and felt completely reassured by her attention to detail regarding Dotty’s normal daily schedule and idiosyncratic personality. Totally lovely person who Dotty couldn’t wait to see again when we dropped her off - she rushed in and made herself totally at home. We are very glad (and relieved) to have found Sarah.
