Trusted and Friendly Dog Sitter

My wife (Kim) & I are big animal lovers. We love to travel, so owning our own dog doesn't really match our lifestyle, therefore we really enjoy caring for other peoples pets while they are away. I've previously owned many animals: Nelson - a Collie cross Labrador Bella - a Rottweiler cross German Shepherd (very tame) These then had a litter of 8 pups which we kept two of 4 x cats 6 x rabbits A small avery Koi fish pond This year we have cared for over 20 different dogs while their owners were on holiday, so we're very familiar with what's involved Trusting another person with your pet can be an anxious time, so we like to keep in touch on the Rover app with lots of pictures and videos. We also recommend a meet up before we look after your dog so the transition is a little less stressful for your dog and the owner.

Always a great experience with Yusef and Kim! Polo and Arlo feel right at home! We are so grateful to be able to rely on them to take good care of them. Also so flexible and friendly. Along with great communication

Ava stayed with Yusuf and Kim overnight and appeared to have had a lovely time. I was kept informed of their day and walks. I would not hesitate to book them again. Thank you both

Our dog enjoyed his stay at Yusef house. They were very professional in getting to know our dogs needs and habits. They sent regular feedback and photos. We would definitely use them again

Kim & Yusef are amazing! Polo just rolls into the house like it’s home! They send us regular updates and it’s just so easy to deal with them! Highly recommend booking with Kim and Yusef!

Schedule

Kim and I alternate days which we work from home, so your dog will have company throughout the week. However we are unable to take bookings for Tuesday's due to our working pattern. When we pop out, we never like to leave an animal for longer than 2 hours by themselves. We only take one booking at a time to ensure your dog gets the attention they deserve.

Safety, trust & environment

When it comes to caring for other peoples pets, we like to make them as comfortable as possible. We do this by replicating their usual patterns at home. For example, ensuring they are walked and fed at the normal times they are used to, along with following the same house rules, like do you allow them on the sofa? or upstairs? We also have an Instagram page where you can see how we work and what to expect, to help you put your mind at ease - eat_sleep_bark_repeat247

A typical day

We have a medium sized, fully enclosed garden which is best suited to small/medium sized dogs. Our house is very close to a farm with large fields available to give the dogs a good run around. We are very active, and can accommodate long walks or taking a dog on a run with us.
