We have a fenced in garden that’s quite long and a good width for running around dogs, and we have a gorgeous field/hill a stone’s throw away from us that we go to all the time and people love taking their dogs too. There is also an award-winning dog park down the road! As far as I door care, we start by respecting your own personal boundaries and wishes, but we love cuddles, playing, tricks, walks, pets, treats, and everything in between!

Information Tanya R. would like to know about your pet

Please let us know if your dog or cat has any special needs, including medication, if they get along with other pets and young kids (we do not have either, but in case if visitors), if they are on a special diet and shouldn’t be given treats, if they have anxiety and what helps calm them down, and anything else you can think of that would be important to know!

A typical day

We have several parks within a short walking distance of our house, as well as a nice sized garden that is fenced in. We also love the canal and are happy to bring your dog in our car for a lovely canal walk! The beach is even a potential option where we live, if they don’t mind car rides! We will also have toys for them to enjoy at the house, but please feel free to bring their favorites with them!

Pets Turn Houses Into Homes 💕

Pet care experience

I grew up with a large family that loved animals and was always surrounded by them. I asked for a mouse for my 10th birthday, and got a bonus of ten more when we found out she was pregnant! At the same time, my brother’s hamster was also pregnant and had a litter of eleven! We hand-built large cages for both litters and suddenly we’re surrounded by more than twenty adorable rodents! If you count the five goldfish we also owned, we were close to thirty pets at once. The lifespan is unfortunately short for most of these little guys, and as the years went on we got three birds, two dogs, and one rat. In my twenties when I lived on my own, I got myself a cat. He was the greatest boy I ever could have hoped for, but he had been born with an underlying heart condition and passed away at only seven. Since then, I have moved to the UK from America and married my animal loving husband (Fin). He had a dog, cat, and rabbits when I first moved, but they have all passed away in the last couple of years. His dog was 13 and died most recently in February of bone cancer, but he was the goodest boy. We are now living without any pets at the moment, and miss them so much, but know we need to pick the right time to start again with our own, so in the meantime, we’re really hoping to borrow yours! My husband and I both adore all animals, and are so looking forward to spending quality time with your own! My husband and I both work from home, so our hours are very flexible! It is very likely that we can make anything you need from us work. For all services, we have complete respect for our pet owners personal requests regarding their pets. If your little guy is on a strict diet, we will not sneak him treats behind your back. If they’re not, then they’ll probably be getting spoiled! If they eat dinner and go for walks at a specific time, we’ll set alarms to keep to that agenda. If they don’t like walking on pavement, we have a lovely grass field area across the street and multiple parks near us.

Tanya stayed overnight with our dog and 2 cats. The communication was great before and during the stay. She was brilliant with our pets - sent loads of photos and updates which put our minds at ease! Would highly recommend Tanya & will hopefully be booking in with her again for future trips!

Tanya is absolutely wonderful. Kind, gentle, warm and respectful. Everything you would want in a human who is taking care of your fur baby! Our Golden pup is absolutely smitten with her. Highly recommend to all pet owners 😊

Tanya was punctual and notified me when Diesel was being walked, spent plenty of time with him and sent plenty of photos and videos of their walks in the park. Thank you
