Highlights
Pet care experience
Fun & loving care for your Furbabies.🐾
I've always loved dogs, from having dogs growing up (small and large), I'm forever learning and fascinated about the many different dog breeds and their quirks. I have cared for different breeds including Whippet, French Bulldog, Hungarian vizla, Greyhound, Dachshund, Cavapoo plus I often volunteer at a Greyhound rescue, walking a different dog each time. I have had my own dog from puppyhood, so I learned all about what puppies need. Mia is now 10 (knows lots of tricks!) and she is the most special thing to me in the world. So I know how important your pets are to you and so I will treat yours the same as mine... spoiled rotten! Unless you state otherwise and need specific rules to be followed such as staying off furniture etc then of course I will stick to your routine as much as possible. My house has a nice long garden which we're always playing different inventive games in. It has cool shady spots for hot summers days too (plus the living room is always cool) and I get the paddling pool out too! In winter we play fetch and alike in the long living room and hallway plus enrichment games.

Safety, trust & environment
I have fenced (5ft fences) paved garden with 2 lawns. Glass safety stickers (made by me!) on all glass doors to prevent dogs running in to the glass. Your dog would never be left unattended to prevent any chewing/choking hazards from happening. Water provided on all walks and I don't walk them when it's too hot (which varies with different breeds). Cooling mat and homemade doggy ice pops on hand! I have a doggy first aid kit and the 24 hour emergency vets is only 5 mins drive away. I have learned CPR and choking online but am looking at booking an in-person interactive first aid course soon.
Ratings and reviews
Sarah was a last minute lifesaver! We are so thankful for her flexibility and great care. A quick responder, and very communicative about her time with our pup, she gave a great and detailed report with excellent photos. Littlefoot was so pleased and exhausted after her visit. She was able to adapt to the extreme heat and gave him some exercise and company during a long, hot day. We will definitely be booking with her again.
Thank you so much for looking after Taz at our wedding. Sarah came to meet Taz twice before hand and to see what his behavour was like out on walks. Sarah was on hand to take Taz out while we was getting ready and at the registry office when things got too much for him and while pictures were being taken. Highly recommend Sarah.
Sarah is fantastic with my 2 doggies, she takes the time to visit them before going on their first doggy walk and kept me fully updated throughout the process. Thank you so much. Xx
Sarah is the best! She handles our Louie so well, that he trusted her quickly and even had a few zoomies(sorry for your broken garden)! She let us know about everything that happened during the walks and got some great photos. Thank you Sarah, we will use your services again :)
Great communica
We met Sarah for an introductory walk, and were very pleased with her clear capability and knowledge around our excitable Border Collie Piper. She handled Piper's boundless energy well, and was consistent in managing her behaviour in a positive, rewarding way. I'm sure that Piper is looking forward to lots more walks with Sarah.

Schedule
I'm self-employed working from home running a little online shop selling dog stickers (yep I'm dog crazy 😂). So I can work that around looking after dogs which comes first and they very rarely need to be left alone, if ever. So it works for dogs with separation anxiety, especially as they are away from home too.
- 0 to 7 kg7 to 18 kg18 to 45 kgSarah can host up to 3 drop-ins per day
- I firstly need to know if your pet is up to date with vaccinations, worming and flea prevention. I need to know if your dog is friendly with other dogs and also how boisterous/giddy your dog is as my dog is laid back and wouldn't want to be constantly bothered. The other main facror is where your dog likes to sleep at night. Crate trained or in their own bed is preferred. Although saying all that, most weekends my dog is away so long weekends are pretty much always fine! Other things I ask are if they are toilet trained, their dietary requirements, what treats they are allowed, does anything spook them (in the house or on walks). What is their general routine and do I need to follow any specific training.
