Home-from-Home Dog Care
Hello, I'm Zoë and I share my home with my own dogs. Dogs have been a huge part of my life for many years, and I have experience caring for dogs of different ages, sizes and personalities. As well as owning dogs myself, I have looked after dogs for friends and family and have volunteered with therapy dog visits in care settings. I have completed canine training and education, including Canine Anatomy and Physiology studies, and I am a KAD (Kids Around Dogs) Approved Professional. I have a particular interest in canine behaviour, wellbeing and helping dogs feel safe, relaxed and comfortable. Your dog will be treated as part of the family during their stay. I only accept one guest booking at a time, which allows me to give each dog plenty of attention and helps ensure a calm environment for both visiting dogs and my own dogs. I do have two resident poodles at home, and I'm always happy to tell owners more about them during our meet and greet so you can decide whether my home is the right fit for your dog. Before accepting a booking, I prefer to arrange a meet and greet so we can make sure everyone is a good fit and your dog feels comfortable in my home.

What can I say? Zoë is quite simply one of the most naturally gifted animal lovers I know. If she could, I’m convinced she’d happily live with a gazillion dogs! Her love, care and genuine affection for animals shines through in everything she does. The devotion she gives to her own dogs is a testament to the time, patience and love she pours into them. They are beautifully behaved, happy dogs, which says so much about her. Zoë was my go-to person for our miniature poodle for 16 years and I always had complete peace of mind knowing he was in her care. She has an incredible ability to understand each dog’s unique personality and needs, treating every one of them as an individual. If you’re looking for someone to walk and care for your dog, I can’t recommend Zoë highly enough. Your dog will absolutely adore her and will wonder where she’s been all their life!
I have known Zoë for many years, and it’s an absolute pleasure to recommend her for any role involving dogs and other pets. She is naturally warm, kind, and incredibly compassionate, with a calm and reassuring presence that animals are drawn to. Zoë has a genuine love for dogs and a deep understanding of their needs. She has shown remarkable patience, dedication, and consistency through her own experience caring for her dogs, Winnie and Goose. Both had challenging starts, and thanks to Zoë’s commitment and nurturing approach, they are now happy, well-adjusted, and thriving. What really sets Zoë apart is her ability to build trust—whether with animals or people. She is attentive, empathetic, and communicates clearly, which makes her especially well-suited to environments where safety, understanding, and positive interactions are key, particularly when working around Pets, dogs (in particular) Zoë brings a lovely balance of professionalism and a friendly, approachable nature. I have no doubt she would make a positive impact in any pet-focused environment. I would wholeheartedly recommend her.
Zoe is amazing with dogs. My dog Ruby gets so excited whenever she sees Zoe which tells me she has been loved and cared for whenever she stays with her, because usually she is quite a nervous dog. She is always coming up with fun ideas to keep the dogs occupied and they love it. I would always recommend Zoe to anyone

I am generally home-based, so dogs in my care can enjoy regular companionship, toilet breaks and supervision throughout the day. Their stay may include walks, garden time, gentle play, puzzle activities, sniffing games, snuffle/scent work and relaxed downtime. I like dogs to have an enriching but balanced stay. Depending on their needs, confidence and owner preferences, we may visit woodland parks where they can sniff, explore leaves, step over logs and enjoy open space at their own pace. If a dog enjoys socialising, they may have calm opportunities to see other dogs and people. If they are nervous, I always give them space and move away where needed. With owner permission, some stays may also include dog-friendly cafés or park café visits.

Seguridad, confianza y entorno
My home has a fenced garden and a separate fenced patio area, so outdoor space can be adjusted depending on each dog’s confidence and routine. Some dogs enjoy the garden, while others may prefer a smaller patio-style space, especially if they are used to yards rather than grass. For safety, I use a porch system when opening the front door, so visiting dogs are kept secure before anyone enters or leaves. I can also use a stair gate when needed, particularly for dogs who are not used to stairs or may benefit from staying on one level during the day. Dogs have regular access to fresh water, toilet breaks and supervised outdoor time. I only accept one guest booking at a time and always prefer a meet and greet first, so we can make sure my home, routine and resident dogs are the right fit for your dog.
