Pet care experience

Experienced, caring, ex-dog owner in Earlsdon!

I owned a dog until very recently (Earlsdon local-legend Jacob the Chesapeake Bay Retriever), unfortunately he recently passed away after a long, loved, and happy life at the age of 14. I'm not ready to get a new permanent dog yet, but I'm very happy to look after others. Because I had a dog, I know how it feels to use a dogsitter and what makes a really good one. I can host or house-sit dogs. My dog was my best friend, and I'll treat your exactly as I treated my own--I minimise the amount of time your dog is left alone (I try not to leave dogs alone), I send regular photos, and I'll keep your dog occupied with walks and other activities (let me know what your dog us up for!). I may have flexibility in weekday evenings etc. so drop me a message.

Doggy Day Care • Apr 25, 2026

Tim was amazing and looked after Bailey really well. Bailey was exhausted that evening after a day of exploring. We will definately be booking Tim again.

House Sitting • Mar 02, 2026

From the moment Tim walked through the door we were totally put at ease. He was confident, professional, polite and very friendly, he certainly made a fantastic first impression You could tell straightaway that he was a very animal friendly person and had great knowledge and passion about dogs. I suffer with terrible anxiety and felt quite relaxed about leaving my babies behind. During our time away we were kept updated on the welfare and behaviour of our dogs. With pictures, videos and messages. It was great to see that Gabbi had resumed her natural position of laying in Tims arms like a baby, she couldn’t have been more relaxed. Our pair certainly had a fabulous time and they had all the love care and attention that they are used to. Please come back any time, Tim We luffs you Gabbi and Billi xx

Tim is a caring, responsible and trustworthy person who has a real love for dogs. His own dog, Jacob, who sadly passed away recently, was always healthy, happy and well looked after. Tim treated him like a best friend—taking him on walks, to the beach, and involving him in everyday life. He has also cared for my dog on a number of occasions, and I only have positive things to say about the experience. He is reliable, attentive and clearly enjoys spending time with animals. I believe Tim would make a great dogsitter, with both the experience and the right attitude to look after dogs with kindness and care. Thanks, Kate

Safety, trust & environment

I care for dogs the same way I cared for my own. Regular walks, plenty of attention, and a conscientious approach to feeding and care.

A typical day

I’ll treat your dog as I did my own—plenty of attention and exercise. Also, I like hiking and the outdoors and would love to take your dog for a stroll in the countryside.

Let me know if your dog has any special needs/requirements. My previous dog was a very large breed, so I’m very happy to look after bigger dogs (I’ve also previously had smaller dogs, so they’re cool too)
