Pet care experience
Lunchtime Walks & Loving Care for your pets
I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life. Growing up with a family dog I’ve always understood the connection needed between pets and their owners/carers. From the age of three I’ve also cared for and owned horses which taught me responsibility patience and knowledge for animal care. I’ve had regular experience looking after my sister’s German Shepherd, including house sitting in the day to keep him company and giving him two long walks to keep him happy and active before she came home from work. I understand the temperament of breeds like German Shepherds and approach every animal with calm confidence and genuine care. I will make sure that I treat every pet as I would if it was my own with plenty of love, attention and the safety they deserve.

Ratings and reviews
Although Luna has stayed with Vicky and her family a few times before, this was our first time leaving her while going abroad. Vicky made me feel very relaxed and reassured with daily updates and photos. Luna thoroughly enjoys her stays with Vicky and seeing how excited she gets when we arrive, fills me with confidence to know she is well looked after and made to be one of the family!
Nala loved staying with Vicky and her family, we got photos and videos throughout the stay which was good knowing nala was well looked after. Would definitely book with Vicky again.
Luna absolutely loves her stays with Vicky and her lovely family. As soon as we arrive she gets all excited and for me, that means she enjoys her stays which puts my mind at rest. Vicky treats our dog as if she ws one of her own with regular updates and I'm sure Luna can't wait for another sleepover. Thank you!
Willow has had another amazing stay with Vicky and her family. She always is so happy there and would happily stay longer! We will be booking again 🥰
Vicky, Jack and her lovely three children really took care of our little Milo. I can tell he enjoyed every minute with them, playing ball, going for walks/runs and being one of the family. Would recommend them and trust them to look after Milo again for us. Such a wonderful family
Thank you so much to Vicky for taking such lovely care of our dog. She had the absolute best time and I think if she could talk she’d be asking to go back now! Thank you again xx
Calendar and availability
Schedule
As a remote worker with a flexible schedule I’m able to plan my workday around your pet care needs with a bit of notice. With my children at nursery and school during the day. I have a calm quiet home that’s ideal for lunchtime walks, daytime care and longer stays. I’m more than happy to welcome your dog into our family routine and many dogs enjoy the extra attention and playfulness that comes from a family home. If you’re comfortable with your dog being around children I’d be delighted to look after them over a longer period -whether for a weekend, holiday or regular day visits. I take pride and providing a safe loving and relaxed environment where your pet will be treated as one of our own.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Pet safety and well-being is my top priority. We have a secure fully fenced back garden where your dog can play and relax safely, and I’ll be working from our conservatory during the day meaning I can keep a constant eye on them while they’re outside. We live on a quiet road with very little traffic and I often walk dogs over the fields nearby either on or off the lead depending on your preference and the situation. I’m also experienced with administering oral medication having cared for my own dog with epilepsy in the past. I’m confident in handling pets with medical needs. Your dog will be in a calm watchful and loving environment.
A typical day
Dogs in my care will have the freedom to come and go into the garden as they please with a spacious secure garden it gives them plenty of room to roam and explore safely. I’ll also make sure they get out for lovely long walks to stretch their legs enjoy some fresh air and burn of energy. Back at home there’s always time for cuddles on the sofa and quiet companionship whether it’s lounging beside me while I work or simply enjoy a cozy relaxed home environment. I’m here to give them the love attention and comfort they used to just like they would get at home.
