“Chris is a true gem! She is the most caring and obliging person, who truly loves the dogs she looks after. We really appreciate the daily pup news, with photos or videos of their daily adventures, and we know she treats the dogs she cares for as if they are her own. Our dog loves her and returns home a happy girl - what more could you ask for?”

“How delighted we were with Wilsons stay with Marcia, Andy & Lola, this is one loving home......Marcia is a devoted dog person to any breed and clearly ensures that the dog is comfortable and looked after in her company. Wilson loved his stay with his new friend Lola and we have already booked him in for our next break with others to follow. Updates on the dogs well being during our holiday were really appreciated and I personally cannot recommend Marcia G enough.”

“Patch loved his stay here- was updated with regular photos of patch. Really happy with our experience as patch is a rescue , so was nervous he would be sad. But seemed like he fit right in! Thankyou so much! X”

“Megan is first and foremost an animal lover. She has an affinity with all animals. She is 100% trustworthy, and takes the best care possible of any animal in her care. She walks my dog and he adores her. She has also taken care of our cats. I would highly recommend her.”

“Our beagle Jesse had a lovely stay with Keith and didn't want to come home. Keith was very communicative throughout and I'll definitely be using him again when we need good, loving care for our boy.”

“Kayan is an excellent dog sitter and took such good care of our baby, and we were so nervous about leaving her as it was the first time, no need to be she was kept occupied and formed a really good bond with Kayan. Plenty of updates and lots of pictures. Highly recommended ?”

“Sara is do chilled, comfortable to be around and Willow picks up on that and is also comfortable with Sara. She is totally relaxed, as soon as we get to Sara's home she goes to lie down. She isn't upset or anxious when I leave , that says a lot. I have no worries when I leave Willow with Sara. Sara is the best. I get regular updates abd pics which I love”

“Wendy was friendly and communicative and fantastic with our older, more nervous dog. He was really relaxed and had a lovely time, and we had lots of updates throughout his stay on how he was doing. Would recommend to anyone!”

“Excellent care! We were let down last minute and Matt just seemed so genuine and really interested in our dog. He was in touch regularly and really kept us updated. Thank you so much and we will definitely be using you again x”

About: I have owned a variety of dogs of all ages throughout my life and at one point worked at a world famous dog breeder/boarding kennel. From all breeds to all temperaments and personalities, chihuahua to Great Dane, Border Collie to Basset Hound, puppy to senior, I have dealt with it all before. From working at the boarding kennels I know that home boarding is so important as kennels (although more affordable) do NOT cater well for your best friend. At Some kennels your pet will be lucky to get 30 minutes of human interaction a day (and even then I wouldn’t call it interaction). Once the kennel hands go home your dog is then locked away in a small kennel for 15+ hours until they start work again the next day, then they are let out to a run for an hour or two whilst they are cleaned and then put back in all for it to be repeated later that afternoon. Your pet is left lonely and confused for your entire holiday and then takes a while to re acclimatise to life with you afterwards. By home boarding with me you don’t have to worry about that, your pet will have professional, experienced care with the company of humans and other dogs 24 hours a day. Their every need will be catered for and you will be sent regular updates on how they are getting on. I am able to provide basic medication for your pet if needed and if you have a pet that doesn’t like to swallow tablets I have experience in how to encourage them take it. I have also completed online qualifications in animal care and dog grooming so I have educational knowledge as well as hands on experience. As I said I have experience with most breeds from working at the kennels but have a particular expertise when it comes to: Beagles Border collies Rottweilers Cockapoo Husky Jack Russel Dogue de Bordeaux Boxer I believe your pet will be very happy staying with me at their home away from home so why not send me a message and we can arrange a meet and greet! I will be 100% devoted to your pooch whilst they stay with us, I am free for walks, playtime, cuddles and attention all day long! I have a 3 bedroom house with a medium sized fenced gardens, the garden has both lawned and paved areas so your pal can choose where they prefer to go when let out. We have a guest room with a double bed where your pet can sleep if it chooses but our own dogs usually sleep in our bed with us and yours would be welcome to do the same. If you crate your dog then we can continue to do this aswell. Wherever your pet wants to sleep is fine by us. Walks are important and we are a short drive away from plenty of prime spots including Sutton park, Sandwell valley, Cannock chase and Aldridge airport so woodland wanders are guaranteed. We will keep your pooch on a lead on walks unless you specify otherwise as we know it’s not worth the risk (our poppy would run away as soon as the lead is unclipped from her collar) Whether your pet likes to spend the day lazing around with cuddles or is 100 MPH and loves 4 walks a day, we can cater for them. Our own two are opposite ends of the spectrum so we are used to keeping them happy.

“Becky and Praks have wonderfully looked after my dog, Timmy on a couple of occasions for the weekend. They are really nice and caring couple and really seem to get Timmy. I had daily updates with a photo of Tim out on a walk or playing in thier back garden and he appeared to be at ease and happy. Would use them again.”

“Rach has been amazing looking after my family’s two crazy Springer Spaniels! They can certainly be a handful but she is very confident with handling them both and it’s obvious how much she cares about them, it shows as they absolutely love her. Never had any issues with their care and she often does little things like pick up the post or bring the bins to help us out which we appreciate. She usually sends us pictures on their walks and always tries her best to make sure they’re clean when returned, although with two spaniels that’s not easy!”

“So pleased that Jenny was available to dog sit with late notice over Christmas. We had a stream of photos, videos and walk updates and so we knew our dog was being well looked after. Thank you Jenny!”

“Sarah looked after our cheeky beagle Ronnie overnight and he had a brilliant time with her and Tilley. We we’re kept updated with cute photos and he came back knackered after all the long walks and play time which is always a great sign! We will definitely use Sarah again and highly recommend her.”

“Harriet has always been punctual, very polite and the dogs love her. She has a great approach with them and always treats them as if they were her own, I'd recommend her in a heartbeat.”

“I couldn't have asked for a better dogsitter! Eishpreet looked after my 5 year old JRT Alfie - his first time staying a night away from home (let alone 4 of them!) - and Eishpreet made 0 compromise when it came to sending updates, pics and vids every morning and night. I was worried Alfie would be homesick - but this wasn't the case at all. Her 2 year old Labrador (Buddy) is well trained and respectful, and accomodated my little JRT (who is usually nervous and prefers space around bigger dogs). I would recommend Eishpreet to anyone who wants their dog to stay at a loving home with peace of mind - I will be using her services again!”

“Mel started walking my two border terriers for a few weeks now. She takes good care of them and has even researched equipment to suit hers and the dogs needs. TCH”

“5 stars - Dave & Charlie were top notch, I don’t think my dog wanted to come home. Will definitely book these guys again in future. Thanks both.”

About: I have all the required skills to look after dogs of any size and breed. I have a number of years experience with different breeds and have chosen to do this as a job because I like being outdoors, I constantly walk around and go on long walks so why not do it with an animal and get their steps in for the day too. Also they say dogs are your best friend, which is true. I would treat all animals the same way you would treat a human. I am kind, outgoing and have so much love for animals. I hope to look after your dog sometime soon. Be assured that they will all be well looked after. Thank you for your time x

“I was so worried about leaving Bobby-Joe to go on holiday but there was no need. He had a such a wonderful time with Anne, he was treated as one of their own with all the home comforts that he is used to. Honestly you will not regret leaving your precious baby with her, she has years of experience and your dog would not be in safer hands. Thank you Anne from Bobby-Joe x”
