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: Myself and my daughter (Alicia) have been pet sitting and dog walking as a business for the last few years so have experience with many breeds of dog old and young.

“Marie carried out Doggy day care for our dog whilst we were away and we couldn’t have been more pleased with the service provided. Nothing was too much trouble and we were kept up dated which was really nice. We will definitely be booking again.”

“Obie has been to Millie’s twice now and really loves it there. When we pull up outside Obie scrambles as the car window in excitement. Millie looks after Obie well and is attentive to her needs and the situation on the day. I am disabled and would struggle to get out of the car to a front door so Millie has been really accommodating by coming out and taking Obie from the car. Will carry on using and recommend!”

“Really pleased with Mia’s first Pet Sitting session today with Christy who was very patient, professional and kind. Thank you Mia is now crashed out on the sofa at home…🐾😊”


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.

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!
