About: I used to work on a farm looking after sheep goats sheepdogs and much more. I am a foster carer and my husband is a lorry driver and we are fully DBS checked. We have our birth child and a foster child. I am home pretty much most of the time. We have a nice safe enclosed garden that is perfect for the dogs to run around in. We have a good size house. I recently lost my dog that I have had for 15 years. She lived a good long life travelling different countries and going on all of my adventures. My family and I are very big animal lovers In our free time we will go to the animal shelter and take the dogs out for walks. We have cared for friend and family members animals in the past. As a foster carer I'm home most of the day. Our dog age 4 will go on 2 to 3 walks a day depending on weather. Our pets sleep on the sofa or in our bedroom. We treat our pets like our children. There will be safe guarding in place. Our children are pet friendly At 1am pinko goes the the toilet. At 630 the garden door is opened and it stays opened all day when we are home so the dogs can come and go as they please. First walk 9.30 for an hour. Around 14.00 ten minutes walk on the Fields across the road from me. Then evening 18.00 a 30 minutes walk. Bedtime so last toilet break about 22.00. I have a fenced garden. I have a medium-sized dog; she doesn't use a crate, but if you have a crate and wish your pup to use it, we can accommodate.

Marta and her family are absolutely wonderful! Willow is spoilt rotten and can’t wait to see her best friend every week - I would recommend Marta to anyone who wants their pup to have a home away from home ♥️🐾

About: I have always been around dogs from been a young child, My family have always had dogs ranging from large to small. I am currently enrolled on a dog training course which is due to begin in the next few weeks. I also dog walk with local dog walking groups every week and look after my friend and family's dog (Again, large and small). I enjoy learning about each breed and there quirks and I am able to behave consistently with a dog who may require more of this approach . I am currently a full time parent to a SEN child, so around school hours my time is spent caring for my little one. I like to be out walking during the day as this helps calm my busy mind, I enjoy caring for animals as I find this so rewarding and been outdoors. I had to give up my career and looking after animals is one thing I thoroughly enjoy and take something from, other than been a mum! I have a fully enclosed garden, and close by my home is close access to fields and TPT where I enjoy walking. I have 1 small nurtured male Lhasa apso who is friendly and well behaved. Providing the dog is house trained, they would be allowed to roam my home freely (Unless otherwise requested). They would be treated in a home from home experience.

About: I am a qualified dog grooming teacher with over 10 years’ experience in training individuals to become skilled, compassionate, and responsible groomers. My teaching goes far beyond coat care — I focus on the overall health and wellbeing of dogs, ensuring learners understand how grooming plays a vital role in early detection of health issues such as skin conditions, parasites, ear infections, and behavioural concerns. I also teach safe handling, salon hygiene, first aid, and client communication, preparing learners for both employment and running their own grooming businesses. A key part of my teaching is upholding and promoting the Five Animal Welfare Needs as outlined in the Animal Welfare Act. I ensure the learners understand how to create a safe, low-stress environment for each dog, and how to respect their emotional and physical needs throughout the grooming process. This includes recognising stress signals, understanding behavioural needs, and always grooming in a way that protects dogs from pain, suffering, injury, or disease. Over the years, I’ve proudly trained hundreds of groomers, many of whom have gone on to build successful careers. I’m passionate about raising standards in the grooming industry and believe that excellent grooming begins with knowledge, compassion, and respect for animal welfare. Dogs are able to travel to work with me and are in my care all day. They are regularly taken out for rest breaks whilst at work. They have access to fresh clean water and are walked often. During the school holidays I am at home with the dogs all day. My garden is completely secure, it is fenced off around both sides and I have a garage at the other side that is connected to my house. Dogs will also have their own safe place to go and relax.

About: Loving and reliable pet care in a calm, safe home environment. I provide daily walks, playtime, and lots of attention tailored to each dog’s needs. I live in a quiet area with access to forests and have a fully fenced garden where dogs can safely play. Pets stay indoors as part of the family and are never left alone for long periods. I care for one dog at a time, ensuring your pet gets my full attention, comfort, and a stress-free environment. I’m happy to look after energetic, shy, or senior dogs and adjust my routine to suit them. Feel free to message me before booking — I’d love to learn more about your pet and arrange a meet & greet. “My daily routine allows me to spend a lot of time with animals. I like to start my day with a walk, and in the afternoons I devote time to playing with and taking care of pets. I live in a quiet neighborhood with plenty of forests nearby for long walks and runs. My home has a fenced yard where dogs can play safely, as well as a comfortable indoor space where pets can relax. I make sure every animal feels at home with me – surrounded by care, safety, and a warm atmosphere.”

About: I've always had dogs in my life. I lost two elderly dogs last year and so badly miss having dogs . I dog sit for our friends dogs whenever possible, but would like to open our home to more. More cuddles, more walks, more mess and more craziness. If you have a dog who needs close attention and wants to feel secure, I can give that care. If your dog needs long walks, I would love that. Our two dogs became infirm when they were old. If you dog needs extra care as an elderly dog, I have the experience. I hold independent comprehensive dog-care insurance. I work part time from home. No routine as such, so I can fit around what your dog needs. Some days are quiet and other days include a long walk and play. We have a large, fenced, dog friendly garden which is completely secure. Your dog will have plenty of room, inside and out. Plus my bed to sleep on, if that is what they like.

About: I took care of my old dog for 13 years until he unfortunately passed. I’ve always been around dogs and spend all my free time out walking so having a pup with me is even better. I work from home full time and can always be on hand whenever they need anything. Free certain weekends but majority of the time through the week, but happy to discuss. I have a large garden with plenty of space for the dog/s to play, as well as it being fenced the whole way round. Your dog will have free roam of the house with the back door always open for whenever they need to go outside.

My pup Peggy loves her days with Chloe. I was a little nervous leaving her for the first time at 12 weeks - as much for Chloe's wellbeing as Peggy's, she can be a handful and is pretty bitey - but from our first introductory meeting I knew she'd be in good hands 😊 Chloe is a natural with Peggy and is very patient with her puppy behaviour. She has arranged meetings with her family dog - after checking initially that I was OK with this - and I get a full summary of the day, updates and pics. She even checks in to see how Peggy is on the weeks she hasn't been 🫶 I know Peggy is very happy there as instead of fussing when I leave her she will dash upstairs to wake Chloe's boyfriend (sorry Josh 🫣), and after a quick hello when I pick her up, she's off to find another toy to play with 😂 Peggy will definitely be back and is looking forward to her first sleepover. I highly recommend Chloe for doggy day care ☺️

We highly recommend Rebecca for looking after pets! She took care of our dog for the first time while we attended a wedding, and she did an amazing job. Our pup was very happy and well-cared for in her hands. Rebecca was reliable, attentive, and clearly has a love for animals. We’ll definitely be booking her again in the future, thank you so much!
