Pet care experience

I've always had pets and got my first dog, a Cairn Terrier called Fluff, when I was 8 years old. I'm a real dog person and our 2 dogs are members of the family and if your dog came to stay they would join the gang. Both my partner Calum and I work from home and we're happy to adjust our days and nights depending on what suits your dog/s best. We understand that some dogs can feel a little anxious in a new environment but we adore dogs and are happy to have them sleep in our room if it helps them feel more reassured. Our 2 resident dogs are Bramble and Mabel. Mabel is a 4 year old chihuahua X JRT and Bramble is a 2 year old Romanian mix who looks a bit like someone tried to cross a sheep dog with a corgi! Both are spayed/neutered.

Lovely couple who have a few dogs of their own so you can feel confident they’ll look after your pup. Beau seemed to have a great time. Would recommend!

Tara and her partner were the perfect sitters for my puppy. They kept me regularly updated and ensured that honey was happy all day. I really can’t recommend them enough and will only be using them as our sitters moving forward! Thank you so much! ☺️

We are always very worried about leaving our precious Valentino as he needs the right sort of person to look after him. However, within minutes of meeting Tara and Calum we knew that he was going to be well cared for. Both are as mad about their animals as we are and it was lovely to be able to go on holiday without worrying. When we went to pick Valentino up he clearly had been cared for really well and we know he was sad to leave. We will definitely be using Tara and Calum again when we need a sitter in the Bristol area and would 100% recommend them to anyone.

Tara has been great with our dog Oreo, and he stayed over for the first time this weekend with no issues. When we arrive he pulls me up the drive and can't wait to go in so I think he loves being there. He doesn't have much experience with other dogs but seems to get on with Tara's dogs really well too.

Safety, trust & environment

We have a secure garden that can be accessed whenever your dog would like and we have 2 good parks nearby for walks. I've listed bathing/grooming at no extra charge as I know how easy it is for dogs to get muddy, especially in UK weather! I will ask how you normally wash them just in case I need to as some dogs do not enjoy the bath and I'd like them to be as happy as possible. Our dogs are probably a little spoilt as they love sitting out on the sun loungers and moving to different furniture in the house for each nap of the day and your dog would have free reign to join them or hang out with us.

Information Tara C. would like to know about your pet

I always like to know if a dog has any particular fears/triggers and any quirks they have so I can help to make their stay as enjoyable as possible for them.

A typical day

I can walk your dog/dogs by themselves if they'd prefer or take all of the dogs for a walk together with my partner if they prefer to go out in a group. There are 2 nice parks within walking distance and many more walks a short drive away such as Blaise Castle Estate.
