About: We have a large fenced garden and a cosy home and your dogs will be treated as part of our family during their stay. I understand the importance of routine, especially when dogs are in a new environment, and will ensure they are cared for exactly as you request with plenty of photo updates throughout the stay. I totally understand the desire for your dogs to feel loved and cared for when you are away - rest assured they will be doted on! We have 2 friendly female resident dogs who love having doggy mates, Bonnie (7 yr old cockapoo) and Inka (3 yr old Frenchie), so your dog will have some canine company. I'm currently on maternity leave and have plenty of time to be with your pup and give them lots of attention, cuddles and exercise. My husband works from home 100% of the time, so there will always be company for your dog. I have a secure, large fenced garden with plenty of grass and space for playing. It is clean and hazard free, and easily accessible from the kitchen.

“Dickie had a fab time, again! Thanks so much for looking after our lad. It really does give us peace of mind when we are away, knowing he’s having a lovely time with you and the family x”

“This was the second time Semi stayed with Hannah. He was treated like a king and Hannah's place was a home away from home for him. We received regular updates and photos which put my mind at ease being away. We are so grateful to have a local dog sitter who is so reliable and also fantastic. Thank you for taking such great care of our fur baby.”

“Martin looks after Pippa whenever we go away. I trust him and know that Pip has an amazing time in the home from home environment at Martins. I cant thank or praise Martin and his family enough for the love and care they give to Pippa, and the total peace if mind this gives to me. Thank you Martin we will see you again soon.”

About: Hello! My name is Aleksandra (or Sasha), and I’m a huge dog lover with plenty of hands-on experience caring for dogs. As a dog owner myself, I know how difficult it can be to find someone you truly trust to look after your beloved furry family member, so I’m always happy to answer any questions you may have about me or my experience. I have a 12-year-old dog whom I adopted from Japan over eight years ago, and I’ve also spent many years looking after other people’s dogs, whether hosting them in my home, doing drop-in visits, or taking them for walks. My dog has become a bit of a bossy and stubborn old lady, but she gets along well with other dogs, especially younger ones. I work as a scientist and have a flexible hybrid schedule, which means I can work from home several days a week and adjust my hours when needed. This allows me to check in on your dog, take them for walks during the day, or provide company while you’re away. I’ll always do my best to make sure your pup feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for. Drop me a message and I will be happy to chat! I have a hybrid schedule and work from home 2-3 days a week. My office days are usually Monday and Thursday, but can be adjusted if needed. My weekends are usually free, so I can easily help out with walks, drop-in visits, or dog sitting when needed. I live in a secure apartment building, so any dogs staying with me will be in a safe and supervised environment. I only take on a limited number of dogs at a time so that I can give each one plenty of attention and make sure they feel comfortable. I’m also available for house sitting, drop-in visits and walks within Saffron Walden, and I’m happy to follow your dog’s usual routine as closely as possible. I have a 12-year-old dog who gets along well with most dogs, although she can be a little bossy sometimes. For that reason, I would prefer to arrange a first meeting in a neutral open space, such as a park area, before any stay in my home. I find that this helps dogs get to know each other more comfortably and makes the experience much smoother for everyone. I’ll always keep you updated with messages and photos, and I’ll make sure your dog is treated with the same care and attention that I give my own.

“Caroline and her partner were excellent with Albus and he had the best time with them and their puppy! They were really kind about some of our schedule changes which we very much appreciated. We also had lots of photos and updates about Albus’s time with them. They are clearly very responsible pet owners and we felt so confident leaving Albus as knew he was in great hands! Will definitely book with Caroline again ☺️”

“We were so pleased with the care Maggie received today. She came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well looked after. Great communication throughout, and it was reassuring to know she was in such caring hands. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend and would happily book again. Thank you!”

Alana W.

“Katy and her partner were absolutely fantastic with our whippet Leo! I am very fussy with who looks after Leo but i felt 100% confident leaving him with Katy. Great communication throughout and was sent lovely photos of Leo having fun playing and snoozing on the sofa. Leo had a great time and is looking forward to he's next stay. It was nice to enjoy our time away knowing that Leo was in good hands, thank you so much x”

“Lily was absolutely outstanding and Chester loved being there with her and her family.Her feedback and communication was first class and she keep us updated with fantastic pictures. It’s given us great confidence that we can leave him overnight with no worries which is a real benefit to us. Absolutely 100% would recommend to any pet owner”

David D.

“Buddy had a great time here and loved playing with a friend and enjoying the outdoors and weather. He came back absolutely knackered and is missing his little play friend! Would definitely recommend and book again!”

About: I have always owned dogs and have a genuine passion for their care and wellbeing. I also previously worked as a veterinary nurse for the RSPCA, giving me valuable experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes and temperaments. I understand how important it is to leave your pets with someone you can trust, and I always treat every dog as if they were my own. I’m confident handling dogs, recognising their individual needs and making sure they feel happy, safe and comfortable while in my care. I work part time from home and am flexible, so easy to for me to fit pet care around my schedule. I make sure any bookings get my full attention and I love having animals as part of my daily routine. I offer drop in visits to make sure pet are happy and well looked after in their own home. I’ll follow their normal routine- whether that’s feeding, topping up water, letting them out for a toilet break, or just giving them some company and attention. I always aim to keep things calm and reassuring, especially if a pet is shy or nervous. Every visit is tailored to what your pet needs to feel safe and settled whilst your’re away. I also offer dog walking and home boarding. I’m happy to give your dog a good walk, some company and plenty of fuss, or have them stay with us in a home from home environment whilst your away. I have a fenced garden with two very friendly dogs, a chocolate Labrador and a cocker spaniel. I am confident handling dogs and recognising when they may need extra care or attention

“Jess was great, very responsive and really attentive to quite the nervous dog. She went out of her way to make sure our dog was well cared for and gave us regular updates. Would definitely use her again and can't thank her and her partner enough for the care provided.”
