“My dog Jessie had the best time staying with Rob and Sue. She took to them very quickly on our initial meeting. They have lots of dog toys and a pet friendly home. I felt confident and happy leaving her with them for our holiday as they were obviously affectionate and kind to her during the initial visit. Rob sent me photos and updates on what had been doing whilst we were away. They took her out in the car to meet other dogs and I think she felt right at home. She was relaxed when I picked her up, showing no signs of anxiety at all. I would say it felt like a second home for her and would be only too happy to use Rob again .”

“Karen took care of our dog Honey overnight and we are very happy with her service. She is very passionate and caring, lovely home with a large garden. Her dog Bodie was a complete gentlemen and Honey made a friend along the way. We received regular updates and will definitely book in the future. We felt honey was left in a safe and caring environment thank you :)”

About: Dogs have always been at the heart of my life and caring for them has never simply been something I do - it is who I am. For me, this is not just a service, it is a privilege. I understand that every dog is a cherished member of the family and I treat each one with the same love, patience, kindness and unwavering devotion that I gave to my own. For 13 wonderful years, I was blessed to share my life with my beautiful Cavapoo, Colby. He was my constant companion, my best friend and I will always feel incredibly honoured that he chose me every day. The bond we shared shaped the way I care for animals and reinforced my belief that every dog deserves to feel safe, understood, loved and completely at ease. Following Colby's passing, I found myself deeply missing the daily joy of giving that love and care to a dog. It is this, more than anything, that inspired me to begin this new chapter. My aim is not simply to offer dog boarding, walking and house sitting, but to provide a home-from-home experience where every dog receives genuine affection, individual attention and the highest standard of care, as though they were my own. My experience extends well beyond everyday care. During Colby's later years, he bravely lived with heart failure, requiring an extensive and carefully managed medication regime. I administered multiple medications with precision, consistency and dedication while closely monitoring his health, comfort and changing needs. This experience has given me invaluable confidence in caring for senior dogs, administering medication and supporting dogs with ongoing medical conditions, always with patience, compassion and meticulous attention to detail. My love of animals reaches far beyond dogs. I have owned horses for over 20 years and have extensive hands-on experience caring for animals of all sizes, as well as a variety of other pets and retiles. This lifelong passion has given me a calm, knowledgeable and intuitive approach to animal care, with a deep understanding that every animal deserves kindness, respect and individual attention. When you dog is in my care, they will be treated as my own family - with warmth, gentleness and genuine affection. My promise is to provide not only a safe and reliable service, but a nurturing environment where you dog feels secure, loved and truly at home. With homes in both Essex and Suffolk, I am able to offer trusted dog care services of House Sitting, Boarding, Dog Walking throughout both counties. I provide full-time, dedicated care tailored entirely to your dog's individual needs and routine. Whether they enjoy long walks and playtime, gentle companionship, plenty of cuddles and love, or simply a quiet place to relax, my focus is always on ensuring they feel safe, happy and loved. I offer house sitting in your home, boarding, drops in and dog walking throughout the week, including weekends and I am committed to maintaining your dog's usual routine as closely as possible to provide comfort, consistency and complete peace of mind while you are away. Safety, trust and a calm, secure environment are at the very heart of my care. I have no other pets or children in the home, ensuring a peaceful and undisturbed setting for your dog. My property benefits from a walled, secure garden and I am fortunate to be situated in a beautiful village with a country park and woodland walks right on my doorstep, offering safe, enriching and varied outdoor experiences in nature.

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover who is great at adapting to different temperaments. Whether your dog is super energetic or a bit shy, I know how to make them feel comfortable and safe. I take your specific instructions very seriously! I’m happy to follow exact feeding routines, dietary needs, and any special 'house rules' you have. I’ll make sure your pet’s schedule stays exactly the way they like it so you can relax while you're away. Since I work from home, pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine! I am available throughout the day for constant company and supervision. I structure my breaks around your pet's needs, ensuring they get regular outdoor time in my garden and two long walks (30–60 minutes each) at the nearby park. Your dog will never be left alone for long periods. I provide a safe and loving home environment with a secure, fenced garden where your dog can enjoy some freedom. I have my own dog who is very friendly and loves having playmates, but I can also easily separate them if needed. I am extremely careful with feeding instructions and house rules to ensure your pet feels secure and right at home while staying with me.

“Karen and Mark are the perfect sitters/boarders for your dog. I never had any concerns or anxiety leaving my dog Coco whilst we were on holiday, I received daily updates pictures and video’s of Coco. Couldn’t praise them any higher than I do. Rest assured it will be like leaving your dog in very capable hands…..home from home. Thank you so much will definitely be booking again!! Coco had a great time ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

About: I have extensive hands-on experience working with dogs through my previous professional dog handling background, which has given me confidence in caring for a wide variety of breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I am comfortable looking after energetic puppies, larger breeds, and older dogs who may need a gentler pace and extra patience. What sets me apart is the level of care and attention I give to every dog, I treat each one as if they were my own, ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, loved, and well looked after while in my care. I pride myself on being reliable, calm, and attentive to every pet’s individual needs. Due to Army commitments, my standard availability is weekends. However, with sufficient notice, I can often accommodate weekday bookings. My day typically starts early with a morning walk from 6:00am, followed by regular care and supervision throughout the day. Dogs in my care receive a lunchtime walk, an evening walk, and plenty of attention in between, with additional toilet breaks, garden time, and play sessions provided whenever needed. I tailor each dog’s routine to suit their individual needs, ensuring they feel comfortable, well-exercised, and cared for throughout their stay. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my priority. I live in an enclosed area with a small fenced garden for safe outdoor time and toilet breaks, and I also have easy access to the nearby old airfield for longer walks and exercise. Every dog in my care is treated like family and looked after in a safe, loving environment.
