I work from home full time Tuesday through to Friday, which means dogs in my care have plenty of company throughout the day. Because I’m home, I can offer regular toilet breaks, playtime, treats, and lots of cuddles so they never feel lonely. During the day, I have natural downtime where I can feed, play, and spend time with your dog. Dogs will usually enjoy a 45-minute lunchtime walk and a longer walk once I finish work, along with plenty of cuddles and a good old snooze. I will always want to make your dog feel safe and like part of the family whilst staying with me, so I am happy to tailor my approach to your dog.

Safety, trust & environment

Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I live in a quiet, adult-only household with no children, which helps create a calm and relaxed environment for visiting dogs. I also have my own 8-month-old cockapoo, Roxi, who is very friendly and loves meeting new dog friends. She’s sociable, playful, and used to sharing her space with other dogs. The house has a secure, fully enclosed rear garden where dogs can safely go out for fresh air and toilet breaks whenever they need. We’re also lucky to have several parks and green spaces nearby, which are perfect for daily walks and exercise. I always follow each dog’s usual routine as closely as possible and take time to make sure they feel comfortable and settled in my home. Dogs are supervised, given plenty of attention, and treated like part of the family while they stay with me. I’m always happy to arrange a meet-and-greet beforehand so you and your dog feel completely comfortable, and I’ll send regular photo and message updates during their stay so you can see how they’re getting on.

Information Vikki S. would like to know about your pet

Please tell me about your dog’s routine, personality, any health or dietary needs, and their favourite toys or comfort items so I can give them the best care and attention. Because I have my friendly cockapoo pup, Roxi, I ask that visiting dogs are comfortable around other dogs. I’m always happy to arrange a meet-and-greet beforehand so we can get to know each other and your dog feels relaxed and happy from the very start.

A typical day

I love keeping dogs happy, active, and mentally stimulated while they’re in my care. Depending on their energy and personality, we’ll enjoy a mix of: • Walks: a shorter lunchtime stroll and a longer afternoon walk, exploring nearby parks and green spaces. • Playtime: games with toys, fetch, or gentle tug-of-war, tailored to what your dog enjoys. • Cuddles and downtime: plenty of attention, petting, and snuggles so they feel safe and relaxed. • Social time: for dogs who enjoy company, my friendly cockapoo Roxi loves meeting new dog friends. • Mental stimulation: simple training games, puzzle toys, or treats hidden around the home to keep minds active. Every activity is designed to match your dog’s routine and personality, so they feel happy, safe, and loved while staying with me.

Pet care experience

I’ve been around dogs my whole life and truly see them as a treasured part of the family. I’ve owned dogs myself and have also cared for many dogs for friends and family over the years. I’m experienced with a variety of breeds and personalities, including hounds, terriers, collies, dachshunds as well as mixed breeds. This has helped me become comfortable adapting to different energy levels, routines, and care needs. I have recently adopted a little cockapoo girl who is my bundle of joy, she is super friendly and loves meeting new dogs. As a dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet. I will treat your dog like my own, always making sure your dog feels safe, comfortable, and well looked after while in my care.

Vikki took wonderful care of my Border Collie, Bella. Bella is full of energy, but Vikki made sure she was well exercised, happy, and comfortable during her stay. She even bathed her after a muddy walk. It was clear that Bella was in great hands, and I felt completely at ease leaving her. I would happily recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter.
