“Sally was really welcoming towards Hector and a pleasure to meet. You can tell she has a natural flair towards dogs- her own dog, Lois, is lovely and is clearly well cared for. Hectors made a new best friend in Lois and can’t wait to be back! I was updated throughout the day and had no trouble at all.”

“My dog was very happy in the care of Murali and the family. They were very accommodating, kind and caring and kept me updated throughout the day. I am forever grateful for taking such good care of the pooch and will definitely be returning.”

About: Hi, I’m Liberty! Animals have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. I started helping at local horse yards from the age of 12 and was dog walking and pet sitting by 18. I’ve owned dogs and horses for many years, including my two rescue Samoyeds, so I understand that every dog is different. I’m currently training towards my Level 3 City & Guilds Diploma in Dog Grooming, alongside building The Grooming Stable. My aim is to provide calm, personalised, one-to-one care where every dog is treated as if they were my own. I’m fully DBS checked, insured and canine first aid trained. Whether your dog enjoys long woodland walks, needs a slower-paced stroll, or simply benefits from familiar, consistent care, I’ll tailor every walk to suit their individual needs. I’d love to become someone both you and your dog can trust for years to come. Pet care is my priority, and I work flexibly to meet the needs of both you and your dog. I offer dog walking, puppy visits, pop ins and bespoke daycare throughout the week, with availability varying by day. Every booking is planned to ensure your dog receives plenty of time, attention and care, rather than being rushed between appointments. If you’re looking for regular ongoing support or occasional help, I’d love to chat about how I can help. Your dog’s safety, happiness and wellbeing will always come first. I’m fully DBS checked, insured and canine first aid trained. I’ll always follow your routine as closely as possible, whether that’s feeding, medication, training, enrichment or simply providing companionship. I believe in calm, positive handling and treating every dog as if they were my own. Before any regular bookings, I also offer a free meet and greet so we can get to know each other and make sure everyone feels comfortable.

“Shadia saved my son's birthday when she agreed to look after my puppy on short notice after we were let down by our planned sitter. It was my first time leaving him and I was quite anxious, but there was no need - Apollo had a lovely day playing with the other dogs, and Shadia kept me updated regularly with pictures of all the fun! Would definitely recommend, and will book again if we're back in the area. Thank you!”

About: Hiya👋 I'm Gayle and I was Mr Ziggy Whippet's companion for 13 years, he was a beautiful brindle who sadly passed in May age 13.5. Ziggy was very nervous but with lots of love and gentle encouragement he made many dog and human friends in the Lordswood community. Kindness, love and empathy for animals is at the core of my beliefs and I will treat your dog with all of the above. I feel more comfortable with one dog at a time unless the dogs live together. I regularly walk my friends Lurcher Bluey, he is a happy and confident dog and enjoys off lead time, if your dog is not ok off the lead I am happy to book a secure field so he/she can have a good zoomies. I have a daughter who is 14 and she adores dogs too, she is sensible, kind and accommodating to the needs of different doggy characters. I work part-time as a Special Needs Passenger Assistant, I'm out the house mon to fri 8am to 9.30am and then 2.20pm to 4pm. I am then around for the rest of the day when I have a dog staying. I'm free all weekend. I have a fenced garden and also live right next to the woods in a quiet neighbourhood. I am happy for dogs to go on the sofa and beds.

About: I have 2 female labradors in the house (5 years and her daughter 1 year). I have bred a litter and so am experienced looking after young puppies. I’m retired, so I’m in the house most of the day. My dogs get taken on safe enclosed walks an hour long each day. I have a big house/garden for the dogs to relax and play in. I’m up around 8am and go for an hours walk with the dogs around 9-10am Pottering around the garden during the day Afternoon walk with the dogs (hot weather depending, else it’s a walk after 9pm) I’m retired and so lots of time can be spent with the dogs. I have a large fenced garden and 2 lovely tempered female Labradors (5 and 1) I’ll treat your pet like my own and they will have full roaming of garden and house I have stair gates, if you prefer your dogs to stay downstairs

About: Dogs have always played a central role in my life. Having grown up with canine companions, I would gladly have a pack of my own right now if my current schedule allowed it. Since my job involves a mix of remote work and occasional travel, caring for your dogs in the meantime is the absolute next best thing! Over the years, I have gained hands-on experience looking after a wide variety of breeds and sizes, ranging from larger dogs like German Shepherds and Golden Retrievers to smaller or more energetic breeds like Corgis, Cocker Spaniels, Staffies, Cockapoos, and Italian Greyhounds. Because I am home-based for the majority of my work week, your furry family members will have constant company and supervision if you book boarding or doggy daycare. I can also easily adapt my schedule to accommodate flexible dog walking arrangements. Before any stay begins, I always prefer to arrange an initial meet-and-greet so you can visit, check out the space, and feel completely confident about where your pet will be staying. You can count on me to keep your dogs happy, comfortable, and well-cared for, and I will always follow up with plenty of photo updates to give you peace of mind while you are away ! I'm up around 7:30am and go for an hours walk with the dogs around 9-10am Pottering around the garden/working from home during the day. Afternoon walk with the dogs (weather depending, or else it's a walk after 9pm) Your pet will enjoy all the comforts of home, featuring a large fenced garden and two friendly female Labradors (1 and 5 years old). They will have full run of the downstairs areas and outdoor space to play and settle in

“Lovely couple and took very good care of Rosie. Very clearly dog lovers. Settled in very well and their own was very cute and friendly. Thank you very much, we’ll be back. Kind Regards Chris”

About: I have grown up around animals and have owned a variety. I’ve had the likes of dogs, hamsters and guinea pigs just to name a few. Most recently I have owned a pug and currently live with a golden retriever. I have a lot of knowledge about flat faced breeds and know how to best care for them. Equally I have a lot of knowledge around other breeds particularly smaller ones. I have looked after friends and my families dogs when they have gone away. I have the ability to go to their houses so that their dogs stay in their own environment that’s familiar. I have also had dogs come and stay with me too. I regularly look after my friends dog when she goes to work making sure that her dog is well looked after. I have a lot of free time at the moment being in between jobs so am very flexible with my availability. I will work around what’s best for you and your pet. I will care for your pet as if it was my own. At my house dogs are allowed on the furniture and on the beds so they can have a proper cuddle. I have three beds in the house with room for their own bed if required. I have a fully enclosed garden with a 7ft fence. I also have an open field across the road and a woodlands the other side with running water. I will make sure to feed your dog as many times as needed throughout the time they are with me. There are two fresh water bowls throughout the house and one in the back garden as well so that there is always access to water. I usually keep my back door open throughout the summer time so that Olive (my friends dog) can go in and out when she pleases, as well as her swimming pool under the shade of a giant canopy. If you would like me to sit in your own home I will treat it with the upmost respect. I like to keep things clean and tidy and will leave your home as I came into it. Leave no trace.

“Percy had an amazing time with Lynn! She kept us updated through the day with pictures. She had Percy during in the heatwave and took extra care to make sure he was cool. Would definitely recommend Lynn and will be booking again”

About: I have grown up with many animals including dogs and I feel they are part of our family. I have plenty of experience with dogs. I understand their phycology and love training them. I have cared for my families and my friends dogs of all sizes, from staffies, french bull dogs to giant schnauzers. My dog Bertie is very well behaved, calm and relaxed though he has a lot of energy and loves his outdoor adventures. He is very happy sharing his home for stop overs and day play mates. I am retired from working within the NHS and love being a home body. Thereby I am able to offer an excellent service in providing a loving, caring and safe home from home experience for your dog. I have a safe enclosed rear garden with a massive open space right next door which is a great safe area to run and play in. My home life is relaxed and peaceful, providing a calm, safe place for your dog to stay. I'm blessed to live in an area of natural beauty with plenty of lovely woodland walks right on my door step.
