Find us on Facebook 🐾 Pet care is a natural and important part of my daily and weekly routine, and I make sure I dedicate the time needed to give every pet the attention they deserve. I carefully plan my schedule to ensure all visits and boarding commitments are carried out reliably and without feeling rushed. For cat pop-in visits, I offer flexible morning, afternoon, and evening slots. Each visit includes essentials like feeding, fresh water, litter cleaning, and a check on your cat’s wellbeing, along with plenty of affection, playtime, or quiet companionship depending on their personality. Alongside this, dog boarding is fully integrated into my routine at home. Dogs in my care are treated like part of the family, with regular walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and lots of love and attention throughout the day. I ensure they have a safe, comfortable, and calm environment where they can settle in and feel at home. Pet care is never something I rush or fit in around other priorities—it’s something I genuinely enjoy and take pride in. Whether I’m visiting your cat or welcoming your dog into my home, I am committed to being dependable, attentive, and providing the same level of care I would give my own pets. Safety, trust, and a calm environment are at the heart of the care I provide. I understand how important it is to feel confident that your pet is in safe, reliable hands, and I take that responsibility seriously with every visit and boarding. For added reassurance, I am fully insured and DBS checked. For cat pop-in visits, I ensure your home is kept secure at all times, following any instructions you provide and maintaining your cat’s usual routine to minimise stress. I always carry out careful checks to make sure your cat is safe, comfortable, and well, and I will keep you updated for complete peace of mind. When it comes to dog boarding, my home offers a safe, clean, and welcoming environment where dogs can relax and feel part of the family. I take time to understand each dog’s routine, behaviour, and needs, ensuring they are supervised, exercised appropriately, and given plenty of affection in a calm, structured setting. Building trust with both pets and their owners is incredibly important to me. I am attentive, respectful, and committed to creating a secure, loving environment where every pet feels comfortable, cared for, and happy while you’re away.

About: I’ve cared for dogs for over 12 years, having grown up with a Labrador and a mixed-breed dog. We are a young couple and now have a super friendly 7-month-old Cavapoo, so we understand the time, patience and attention dogs need every day. We're comfortable with walks, feeding, playtime, toilet breaks and giving dogs lots of love and attention. We'll treat every pet as if they were our own and make sure they feel safe, happy and comfortable. Both me and my husband work full-time from home, so we have plenty of flexibility throughout the day to give your dog lots of attention, care and company. Dogs are never left alone and will have regular playtime, toilet breaks, walks and plenty of cuddles. We’re also available for boarding and are happy to follow your dog’s usual routine as closely as possible. We have a secure, fully fenced garden and a friendly 7-month-old Cavapoo who loves having company. We have two large parks just a 10-minute walk away, as well as lovely quiet walking routes nearby. Dogs are never left alone and are always supervised and treated as part of the family, with plenty of attention, exercise and cuddles. We’re happy to follow your dog’s usual routine and accommodate their individual needs, including feeding, medication and regular toilet breaks.

About: Our experience with dogs 🐾 Ellie has always had dogs and has experience with a wide range of breeds, including rescue dogs with different backgrounds and needs. She also set up her own rescue, Praxie’s Promise, through which she has helped rehome hundreds of dogs. She is Canine First Aid trained and has a real understanding of how important it is to provide dogs with patience, care and a safe, loving environment. Gethin has always grown up around pets and has plenty of experience caring for dogs. Over the years, we have regularly looked after friends’ dogs, from walks and day-to-day care to having them stay with us while they're on holiday. Between us, we have a great deal of experience with dogs of different personalities, breeds and needs, and we want every dog staying with us to feel comfortable, settled and part of the family. We both work shifts, but Gethin works from home full-time, so there will always be someone around to care for your dog and provide company throughout the day. Your dog won’t be left alone for long periods and will have plenty of attention, affection and company while staying with us. We’re both active people and enjoy getting out for walks, so we’re happy to provide as much exercise and outdoor time as your dog needs, whether that’s relaxed walks or something more energetic. We are both very flexible and happy to fit into your dogs schedule, whatever they need! We also have our own dog, Chevy, who is 11 years old and very calm and friendly. He is very adaptable to all kinds of dog personalities and is used to being around dogs with different temperaments and energy levels. We’ll make sure every dog staying with us gets the attention, exercise and care they need, while also giving them the space and time to settle in and feel comfortable. Your dog’s safety and wellbeing will always be our priority. We have a secure, dog-friendly home with a fully enclosed 5ft fenced garden, giving dogs safe access to fresh air and outdoor space throughout the day whenever they need it. As Gethin works from home, there will usually be someone around throughout the day, meaning dogs won’t be left alone for long periods. With Ellie’s extensive experience caring for and rehoming dogs, including rescue dogs with a variety of personalities you can feel confident that your dog is in experienced and caring hands. We have kept our own dogs safe for 20+ years and your dogs will be looked after like one of our own. We’ll introduce dogs to Chevy carefully and at their own pace. We’re happy to follow your dog’s usual routine as closely as possible and will keep you updated during their stay, so you can relax knowing they’re happy, safe and well cared for.

About: I’ve been a pet sitter all over the world and have cared for all kinds of animals, from goats and budgies to Great Danes. I’m experienced with reactive dogs, larger breeds, and pets with different personalities and needs, although most of my experience is with cats and dogs. I truly love all animals, and nothing makes me happier than a home full of fur family. Since I don’t have pets of my own at the moment, I feel very lucky to be able to give all that love and care to yours. I’m currently studying from home, so pet care fits in very naturally with my daily routine. I love getting out for walks in the morning, afternoon, and evening, which means pets in my care get plenty of attention, exercise, and company throughout the day. My afternoon walk is usually at least two hours, while morning walks tend to be around 30 to 60 minutes, so I’m well set up for dogs who enjoy regular outdoor time I always aim to make pets feel safe, settled, and loved, whether they are in my home or their own. I take time to understand each pet’s usual routine, including feeding, walks, medication, sleeping arrangements, and any behavioural needs, so I can keep things as familiar and stress-free as possible. I’m very mindful of safety on walks and in the home, especially with reactive dogs or larger breeds, and I always make sure pets are secure, comfortable, and well supervised. In a pet owner’s home, I treat both the space and the animals with great respect, keeping everything clean, calm, and consistent. My goal is always to give pets plenty of attention, affection, and reassurance so they feel happy and cared for while you’re away.

“Vicky was the best doggy friend for our french bulldog, he had the best time ever, and Vicky was so flexible and we were late back to pick him up and Vicky very kindly was so kind. We would 100% recommend.”

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover living in Higherford with my 14 year-old son, Billy. We both love spending time with dogs and treat every pet that stays with us as part of the family. We previously owned a lovely Whippet, so we understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your dog.

I enjoy fell walking and keeping fit, so your dog will get lots of exercise, attention, and affection.

About: I have taken care of many of my friends dogs whilst they go on holiday(s) over the last 5 years. This has included two beautiful, high energy spaniels and older Dachshunds. I work from home and have a spaniel myself so I’m constantly out and about making sure they have the best day. I wake up around 5.45 on week days and take George (my spaniel) on a nice 5k walk along the canal. I work from home so will get my morning meetings out of the way, let George out in the back yard in between. I usually walk to the local park at lunch which is around 2.5k round trip. And after work, depending on what I have planned we usually are out and about places. Quick walk around the block just before we go to bed. I have a fenced yard. Plenty of room in the kitchen to keep a cage. A ring camera that overlooks into the kitchen for if I need to nip out to the shops. And George is the most loving companion, he has been so socialised since I’ve had him that he loves having other dogs over for sleepovers.

“Absolutely a legend person! He took care of my dog while I was working at 5:30am! And bring him back to my house. If you are working early hours and need someone to look after your dog THIS IS THE PERSON! I cannot wait to book with him once again!”

“Joanna was absolutely fantastic with Millie we couldn't have found anyone better to look after her. Joanna came a week before our party and took Millie for a walk and she loved Joanna from the start, she really knows dogs and understands them. On the day of our party Joanna came on time to pick her up, she took her up into the town and the park, Joanna even took some photo's of her and had two printed off for us. She has undoubtedly gone over and above to make us feel relaxed ( it was the first time we have left her with anyone) and for making an enjoyable day for Millie. No question about it we will use Joanna for more parties. X”

About: Hello! I’m a lifelong dog lover offering full-time dog sitting and home boarding services. Dogs have always been a massive part of my life. I was the proud owner of three wonderful Jack Russells. We spent years going on endless adventures, long walks, and exploring the outdoors together. ​Sadly, they have all since passed away, but having them in my life showed me just how much joy dogs bring to every day. Losing them made me realise that working with dogs isn't just something I love doing in my spare time, it's what I want to do full-time. Coming from a Jack Russell background, I know firsthand that dogs need both physical exercise and mental stimulation! Whether your dog loves energetic countryside strolls or gentle neighborhood sniffs, I’ll match their ideal pace. ​ I treat every dog in my care like family, ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and thoroughly loved while you're away. ​I’d love to learn all about your dog’s personality, daily routine, and favorite things. Feel free to send me a message so we can chat or set up a Meet & Greet Whether your dog thrives on an early morning trek, a mid-day leg stretch, or an evening stroll, I can completely adapt to their existing routine. I’m available to spend quality time with them throughout the day, making sure they feel relaxed and secure. Moving to a new environment can sometimes be overwhelming. I have a cozy, dedicated room set up specifically to help dogs settle in at their own pace until they feel completely confident and at ease. ​Our garden is completely fenced and secure, giving your dog a safe space to stretch their legs, sniff around, and enjoy some outdoor playtime with total peace of mind. ​Once they’re settled, they have complete freedom throughout the home! They are more than welcome to cuddle up on the furniture, lounge on the sofa, and make themselves right at home.

“Excellent service, Leah has been lovely and friendly. Welcoming and dog friendly environment for Otis. Leah was so sweet towards Otis and took him on a good walk, which he always loves! We feel confident leaving our dog with Leah and would definitely use her service again.”
