About: I've taken care of a variety of dogs, big & small and tend to each of their needs including: daily walks, feeding routines, training reinforcement and their individual personalities. Neighbours, friends and family have relied on me to look after and play with their pets for over 9years. I have my own Cocker Spaniel puppy so have experience looking after young dogs. I'm comfortable following owners instructions for their pets and want to make sure they are as happy as possible leaving their dogs with me. I'm currently working from home so I can be in the house at all times to play with and look after your pet! I'm available for boarding weekdays and weekends and can also go to your home during the day for check-ins and walks with your pet. I have a large fenced in garden for your pet to play in and a very friendly cocker spaniel to make friends with! My dog is crate trained so has his own bed area. I can easily set up a crate for your dog too if provided.

“I'm delighted with how Poppy cared for Minnie, my elderly and fairly nervous jr/chihuahua cross. Minnie had a lovely time pootling about the garden with Poppy's lovely, gentle dog Narla. I could see from the photos and video Poppy updated me regularly with, that Minnie was happy and relaxed - which in itself is an achievement. I have no hesitation in recommending Poppy for dogs care and will definitely be booking her again.”

“Elizabeth looked after my 2 year old dachshund over night & he absolutely loved it. They are great sitters and looked after him quite short notice. I was updated on how he was doing with a photo and he had a blast playing with Bailey! Would recommend Elizabeth to anyone looking for a great pet sitter to leave your fur baby with! x”

“We could not recommend Emily more highly and will absolutely be using her services again in the future. It is obvious that she loves dogs and she asked lots of questions to tailor things for Alfie, who looked like he had the absolute best time! Emily also sent lots of lovely updates and photos which gave us peace of mind whilst away. He was completely happy and relaxed in Emily’s care, playing away and even dreaming! Emily is an extremely reliable, trustworthy and caring sitter. Thank you so much!”

About: 🐾 A Home Away From Home for Your Best Friend! 🐾 Hi! I'm a lifelong dog lover with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of every age, breed, and personality. Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, so I understand that every pup is unique and deserves plenty of love, patience, and individual attention. From energetic puppies learning the ropes to gentle senior dogs needing a little extra care, I'm experienced with it all. I've helped with puppy training, supported older dogs with arthritis and mobility issues, and cared for every stage in between. Whether your dog is full of zoomies or prefers a slower pace, I'll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy during their stay. I've looked after dogs of all shapes and sizes—from tiny Jack Russells right up to gentle giants like Dogues de Bordeaux—so no matter how big or small your four-legged family member is, they'll be welcomed with open arms. Your dog will have plenty of room to make themselves at home in our spacious house, with lots of cosy spots to relax, nap, or simply potter about. Outside, we have a large, secure garden where they can stretch their legs, play, sniff, and soak up the fresh air. We're also surrounded by beautiful countryside, making it the perfect place for exciting adventures, leisurely strolls, and plenty of sniff-filled walkies. Sharing our home is our lovely spayed female Golden Retriever, who absolutely adores other dogs. She's friendly, gentle, and always happy to make new friends—whether that's a game of chase in the garden or simply lounging together after a long walk. I know how important it is to leave your dog with someone you trust, and I'll care for them as if they were one of my own. Whether they're staying for a day, a weekend, or a longer holiday, you can relax knowing they'll receive lots of love, attention, playtime, cuddles (if they enjoy them!), and updates so you can see what they've been getting up to. I can't wait to meet you and your furry friend! I work from home full-time, so caring for dogs fits naturally into my daily routine. My schedule already revolves around my own Golden Retriever, meaning your dog will always have company, attention, and plenty of opportunities for exercise and relaxation throughout the day. Our mornings start with breakfast (our Goldie would never let us forget it!), followed by a long walk through the beautiful nearby woods and countryside. If anyone comes home a little muddy after their adventure, they're more than welcome to enjoy a quick rinse before settling in. While I work, the dogs can relax wherever they're most comfortable, with free access to our spacious, secure garden whenever they fancy a sniff or a potter outside. I take regular breaks throughout the day for playtime, cuddles, toilet breaks, and, of course, the occasional well-earned treat! In the afternoon, we head out for another walk before winding down for the evening. Whether your dog loves exploring, playing, snoozing, or simply being close to people, they'll enjoy a relaxed, home-from-home environment with lots of love, attention, and companionship. Your dog's safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. We have a large, fully secure garden with high fencing, giving dogs plenty of space to run, play, explore, or simply relax in the fresh air whenever they like. I also make sure that any plants within their reach are dog-safe, so you can have complete peace of mind. Sharing our home is our friendly, spayed Golden Retriever, who absolutely loves the company of other dogs. Whether it's a game of zoomies around the garden, exploring together on walks, or curling up for a well-earned nap, she's always delighted to welcome a new furry friend. Inside, our home is spacious, calm, and relaxed, and dogs can settle in wherever they feel most comfortable. Whether your dog is playful and energetic or prefers a peaceful snooze after a walk, they'll have plenty of space to feel safe, loved, and right at home.

“Georgia looked after our cockapoo puppy, Milo, for two days and we couldn't have asked for anyone better! It was the first time we'd ever left him, and she couldn't have made us feel more at ease. She kept us updated throughout with pictures, which was so reassuring, and it was clear Milo had the best time with Otis and Barney – it was like a little holiday for him! Georgia is so kind and caring, and we'll definitely be booking with her again and wouldn't hesitate to recommend her!”

Hannah M.

“This was our first time using a dog sitter, and I was a little nervous, but Brianna was fantastic. She took great care of our dog Betsy, kept me updated with messages and photos, and made the whole experience stress-free. My dog was happy and well looked after. I would definitely recommend her and would happily book with her again. Thank you!”

Laura M.

“Maxine was absolutely wonderful with Peggy, I felt at ease leaving Peggy. Maxine updated me often and sent photos and videos! Peggy really enjoyed her stay! Will definitely be sending Peggy back x”

“When you leave your dog with someone it is always a worry, however Peter was great and looked after our little girl so well. He gave us updates and photos during her stay too. Would not hesitate to leave Tina with him again.”

About: I’ve always had dogs when growing up, 4 and 5 at a time, working and none working dogs which I loved to walk and train. I enjoy the outdoors and spend most of my free time walking and enjoying nature. My availability will mostly be weekends and school holidays as I work term time. However, I live a few minutes away from my place of work, and provided pet is not anxious or happy to be left for periods of time (no more than 3 hours), I am happy to consider during the week care to help owners if needed. All dogs will receive a minimum of three good walks a day and anything else that is needed. I live in an area which has access to lots of walks, long and short. As well as plenty of walks including beaches and trails just a car journey away if pet is ok to travel. I have a fenced garden, safe for dogs of all sizes. Your pet will be treated like a family member, lots of walks, kisses and cuddles, a place on the sofa and a bed to sleep in.

“Lindsay was a fabulous dogsitter. Widget was happy there and ate all of her food, which is unusual for her at a different home! Lindsay sent me messages letting me know that she was ok while I was away, which was a real comfort. Her own dogs are adorable and the house and garden are secure. Lindsay is approachable and passionate about dogs.”

“Amazing thank you!”
