“Charlie had another wonderful time with Vic and her family. It's like her 2nd home and she's always so excited to back there again. We always feel really happy to leave her as we know that she will be spoilt with love and attention. Vic sends regular photos and messages about the lovely walks that she goes on. We would never leave her with anyone else.”

“Bella just loves staying with Zena and James! It’s great to be able to go away on holiday knowing that she is so well cared for and that her “unique” needs are cared for. Thank you again for another successful stay ☺️”

“Kaylee and her family provided such a good and loving home for our dog Daisy while we were away. We had lots of updates as requested and she seemed to have a lovely time. We are so relieved to have found someone we can trust to look after her! Thanks again”

About: 🐾 Fully Licensed • Fully Insured • DBS Checked • Full-Time Pet Care Professional 🐾 Hi, I’m Ryan, and welcome to Ry’s Pet Care! I’m a fully licensed home boarder, fully insured, and work full-time in pet care, allowing me to dedicate my time and attention to caring for dogs every single day. My goal is simple—to provide a safe, loving, home-from-home environment where your dog will be treated as part of the family. Having grown up with dogs and other pets, caring for animals has always been second nature to me. Nothing makes me happier than building trusting relationships with dogs and giving owners complete peace of mind while they’re away. My beautiful Beagle, Ivy, was my world. Caring for her throughout her life, particularly during her later years when she required regular medication due to seizures and a brain tumour, taught me patience, compassion and the importance of tailoring care to each individual dog. She sadly passed away in October 2024, but caring for other people’s pets has become a wonderful way of honouring her memory. As I don’t currently have any pets of my own, every boarded dog, pet I sit for, or walked dog, receives my full attention without needing to compete for space or affection. Whether your dog loves long walks, exploring new smells, playing in the garden, relaxing on the sofa or simply sticking to their familiar routine, I’ll adapt my care to suit their individual personality and needs. I’m licensed to provide home boarding and have developed comprehensive welfare, safety and infection control procedures to ensure every dog enjoys a safe and comfortable stay. I also hold Pet First Aid certification, maintain detailed care records, and always prioritise each dog’s physical and emotional wellbeing. Communication is incredibly important to me. During your dog’s stay, or my sit, you’ll receive regular updates, together with plenty of photos and videos, so you can see exactly how they’re getting on and enjoy following their little holiday while you’re away. Whether your dog needs medication, has specific routines, dietary requirements or simply enjoys lots of cuddles and company, I’m always happy to accommodate their individual needs wherever possible. I know how much trust it takes to leave your dog with someone else, and I never take that responsibility for granted. My aim is for every dog to leave happy, relaxed and excited to return, while every owner feels confident they’ve found someone who genuinely cares. If you’d like to arrange a Meet & Greet or have any questions at all, I’d love to hear from you. I manage my own time and am a full time pet care professional so I have the flexibility to meet your pet's usual walk schedules, feeding time and administering of medication (if needed). When staying in your home, I will bring my own food and toiletries, I can also bring my own bedding if required, and even a single or double blow-up bed. I will only require water and electricity and will return the home to you as you left it for me. When boarding, your pets become part of our family, my aim is to make them feel as comfortable as they would in their own home. Your pet is my top priority, so please make me aware of their routines, preferences and training techniques/keywords and I will ensure these are kept to. I know how it feels to leave your pet(s) when you are away, constantly thinking about how they are and what they are getting up to! So, rest assured, I will take plenty of photos and keep you updated as much as you would like. I understand it is a big decision to leave your pet in a new environment, or to invite someone into your home and look after your pet and belongings! Therefore, I always recommend a meet-and-greet (at no extra charge), and am available to message or call with any questions to help build a rapport.
“Adam was great with my mum's dog Polly, a Romanian rescue. Shes not the easiest dog as has fear based reactivity with other dogs. Adam was very patient and kind with her and I think she was a bit sad to be leaving him when I picked her up. Would highly recommend Adam 👍”

“Harvey was very welcoming and his dog Roger was very friendly and playful with our dog, we are so happy and we will definitely use Harvey again. 10 out of 10 Thank you very much 😊”

About: I have extensive experience caring for a wide variety of pets, ranging from small mammals and companion animals. I have cared for tortoises, goldfish, guinea pigs, rabbits, hamsters, cats, and dogs of all ages and temperaments. My experience includes supporting a senior dog recovering from a stroke, ensuring their comfort, safety, and rehabilitation while maintaining their daily routine and health needs. I have also successfully bred and raised dogs, overseeing a mother through three litters of puppies and providing comprehensive care for all puppies until they were eight weeks old. This included monitoring their health, socialization, nutrition, and early training, ensuring each puppy developed strong foundations for lifelong well-being. My approach to pet care is attentive, compassionate, and tailored to each individual animal’s needs, whether it’s maintaining specialized enclosures for reptiles, ensuring proper nutrition and enrichment for small mammals, or providing exercise, stimulation, and medical support for dogs and cats. I am currently working from home, which allows me to build pet care naturally into my daily routine. Caring for pets is part of my everyday life. I provide feeding, fresh water, exercise, enrichment, grooming where needed, and regular health monitoring each day. I also ensure living areas are kept clean and that each animal receives plenty of love, attention, and positive interaction. My flexible schedule means I am able to adapt to the individual needs of each pet, whether that involves walks, playtime, administering medication if required, or simply providing companionship. Whether it's playful dogs, curious cats, or small mammals, every animal is given a safe, happy, and caring environment where their welfare is my priority. Your pets will feel right at home with me. I provide a safe, clean, and comfortable environment where animals can relax, play, and thrive. Each pet receives individual attention, regular feeding, exercise, and enrichment tailored to their needs. Whether it’s cuddles for cats, walks for dogs, or proper habitat care for small mammals, I ensure every pet is happy, secure, and well-cared for while in my home.

About: I’m a dependable animal lover with experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, play with, and care for their pets. I’ll treat your dog like my own and make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages for peace of mind. I work Monday to Thursday mornings, so your pet may be home alone for a few hours during that time. I’ll make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and love. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a secure, fully fenced garden where dogs can play safely. I provide a clean, calm, and loving environment and will follow your pet’s routine to help them feel at home. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages during their stay.
About: I’m a trainee dog groomer and pet care provider with experience caring for dogs of all breeds, ages, and personalities. I also hold an Enhanced DBS check, giving you extra peace of mind that your pet and home are in safe, trusted hands. Every dog is treated like one of my own, with care tailored to their individual needs and routine. Whether it’s walks, playtime, cuddles, medication, or regular photo updates, I’ll make sure your furry friend is happy, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. Please note that I am unable to provide care in my own home due to having a reactive dog, but I’m more than happy to care for your pet in your home or take them out for walks and adventures. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine as I care for animals every day. Alongside owning dogs since childhood and living on a farm, I’m also training to be a dog groomer, so handling, coat care, and general wellbeing are part of my routine. Dogs in my care receive regular attention, exercise, and supervision throughout the day. Care is always personalised to each dog. When caring for dogs in my home, they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and a home-from-home experience. When caring for dogs in their own home, I stick closely to their usual routine so they feel comfortable and secure. I’m also training to be a dog groomer, so I’m confident with handling and general grooming needs.

“Fantastic. I couldn't ask for a nicer family to look after our dog. He's always been left with family but I will be booking Paddy in again with Lauren. He has been spoilt and looked after more than we could ever have asked for, regular walks to suit him and the weather, regular updates on his day. Also thank you to Nicky who's been a star with Paddy, thank you for taking care of him.”

“It was so lovely of Janine to give me her time to meet her in advance of booking. Maisie has clearly had a lovely mini break - thanks for all the photos. A beautiful, secure location & such a friendly host. Highly recommend. Thank you!”

“We got regular updates and he also did us a massive favour and brought Murphy out to our wedding reception for an hour which we really appreciated. Murphy seemed to really enjoy his stay and seemed very happy with Andreas so I would definitely recommend. Communication with organising the stay was really good as well which helped give us confidence when booking.”

“Faith was absolutely superb with our Dog and we were kept upto date with how she was getting on by texts and pictures. Couldnt be happier with Faiths service and will definitely use her again in the future.”


“Alex and her family looked after Sonny for three days while we were away, and we couldn't have asked for better care. We received daily updates and photos, which gave us complete peace of mind. Sonny was clearly very happy, well looked after, and treated as part of the family. He enjoyed regular walks, including lovely walks in the forest, and it was wonderful to see him having such a great time. Alex was caring, reliable, and attentive to all of Sonny's needs. We are incredibly grateful for the love and care Sonny received and would highly recommend Alex and her family to anyone looking for a safe, caring, and trustworthy home for their pet.”
