Highlights
Pet care experience
A loving home from home.
Dogs have always been a wonderful part of my life from a very young age. As a family our beautiful pets included Poodles, Yorkies and King Charles Spaniels. My own lovely old Jackadoodle passed away aged 16 over a year ago now but I have continued to care for all sorts of other little ones, Chihuahuas, Dachshunds and Frenchies, I love them all! I have plenty of experience in caring for elderly seniors as well as youngsters. As an experienced sitter, I offer excellent care to small breeds who will enjoy companionship, naps on the sofa, gentle walks and playtimes. My home set up is best suited to smaller dogs that enjoy a calm, peaceful and cosy environment. I provide kind, gentle and patient care, lovely walks, fun playtimes and plenty of cuddles on the sofa. I know that dogs are family, precious and loved. I have a large fully enclosed dog friendly garden with lots of trees, bushes and different areas for leg stretches, sniffs, playtimes, snoozing in the sunshine and regular toilet breaks. I never leave dogs unsupervised in the garden and I’m happy to use a lead if your dog is elderly, unsteady or particularly tiny for extra peace of mind. There are plenty of dog friendly walks on my doorstep for your dog to enjoy while they stay with me. Great for short walks for old legs or longer adventures for youngsters. Safety is my priority and I always keep leads on. I am happy to send daily updates and photos whilst you are on holiday or at work. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your dog and I will always treat them as if they were my own. I enjoy getting to know each dogs personality, funny ways and little routines. This helps to make sure they feel calm, loved and safe with me until you’re home.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Zoe helped us out with some last minute boarding and was a godsend! She looked after our dog brilliantly and went out of her way to make her comfortable in the hot weather. We got lots of updates throughout, I wouldn’t hesitate to use her again
Our two mini dachshunds Cosmo and Max had a fabulous five nights with Zoe. They enjoyed a lovely home, and a secure back garden to wander around - and regular walks on the nearby Heath. We knew instantly they would be well cared for and it was clear from the amazing photos and kind messages (sent daily) that they bonded straightaway with Zoe and her partner. Zoe provided great updates, photos and communication. The photos were amazing and plentiful of their activities during the day and in the evening. Zoe really cared for our two fur babies and we would not hesitate in recommending her services.
Zoe has a genuine love for dogs and she gave Hugo and Athena a lovely warm welcome when they went to stay. All of their individual needs were met with attention to detail and I received photos and messages with updates. Zoe has a lovely big, dog friendly fenced garden which the dogs enjoyed at will and they were treated as one of the family. Hugo and Athena will definitely be going back to Zoes!
Our little Yorkie was very well looked after by Zoe and loved racing around her large garden. Zoe sent us regular photos and messages and we felt very reassured and happy to see our little boy having fun and cuddles. I would definitely recommend Zoe and we will certainly book with her again.
I would be delighted if Zoe looked after my dog , she is completely trustworthy and kind . We have regularly walked together with her dog Skipper and all of my Guidedog puppies for more than 15 years. Zoe adores dogs and would definitely be a person you could entrust your furry baby with.
Zoe has looked after our little poodle several times at her welcoming and quiet home, normally for a week or so. He is always happy and content when we collect him and always pleased to see Zoe each time we drop him off. He loves running around exploring in her big garden and I receive lots of photos of him enjoying himself out on walks or snuggling up on the sofa. I would happily recommend Zoe as a kind and caring dog sitter.

Schedule
I’m at home all day and so your dog will have plenty of company, cuddles and playtimes. They will be able to go in the garden whenever they want to and get the walks they need. I am usually available all week for boarding and Monday to Friday for daycare.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Please be aware that I have uncarpeted wooden stairs which some dogs can find tricky, I am very happy to carry your dog up and down if needed if they like to sleep upstairs at night, but I do need to be able to lift them. Please keep this in mind if your dog doesn't like being carried. Dogs cannot access the stairs unsupervised. Dogs are allowed on the sofa for cuddles and upstairs with me at night in their beds if they are happiest staying close by. If your dog is used to sleeping in a crate, please bring it with you as I don’t have one.
A typical day
Your dogs days with me will be planned out to meet their needs, whether that’s long walks and lots of zoomies or gentle strolls and peaceful snuggles.
