“V accommodating & welcoming”

About: Hi, I’m a mum of two and a huge animal lover offering reliable and caring dog sitting services 🐾 I work from home, so your dog will have plenty of company, attention, and care throughout the day. I have my own little furry family too — a Bishon called Honey and two rabbits — so animals have always been a big part of my life. We live close to the forest and I love taking dogs on walks in nature, as well as trips down to the beach for some fresh air and fun. Whether you need help during the day, while you’re away, or just an extra hand with your dog, I’d love to help and make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved while in my care 🐶💕 I work from home, so your dog will always have company throughout the day and won’t be left alone for long periods. I’m able to fit my schedule around the animals, including regular toilet breaks, playtime, feeding, and long walks. Living close to the forest and beach means they’ll also get plenty of fresh air, exercise, and attention I provide a safe, loving, and calm environment where pets are treated like part of the family. As I work from home, pets are rarely left alone and always have company, supervision, and attention throughout the day. I follow each owner’s routine as closely as possible, including feeding times, walks, playtime, medication if needed, and any special instructions to help pets feel comfortable and settled. I live close to the forest and beach, so dogs enjoy plenty of exercise, stimulation, and outdoor time. My home is pet friendly, clean, and secure, and I always make sure animals feel safe, happy, and well cared for while in my home or their owner’s home.

“Rachael is honestly INCREDIBLE! From the moment we connected, she was super communicative, kind, and reassuring. She kept us updated the whole time with messages and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. Buddy was absolutely spoiled, you can tell she genuinely loves what she does and truly cares for the dogs she looks after. I’m genuinely a little worried he won’t want to come back home with us next time 😂 We couldn’t have asked for a better person to take care of our boy. Thank you so much, Rachael!”

“Kirsty & Dan (& Benji!) are 5⭐️ - Our pup Barney absolutely loves going to see them. It’s like a home from home for him. He loves spending time there and playing with Benji. They are very attentive to his needs and I instantly felt comfortable leaving Barney with them. Can’t recommend highly enough.”

“Oakley seemed very happy in Angelika’s care and was also super excited to see her and his new friends when we bumped into them at the park the day after his stay with her. Angelika has a lovely home and her communication both prior to and during Oakley’s stay was exceptional. I certainly intend to use her again.”

“Kima had a great time with Jess who was able to accommodate her at short notice. We received photos while during Kima's day and picked up a happy, tired dog.”

“Couldn’t recommend Gabby enough, my 7 month old puppy clearly had the best time with her and Ralph, he came home happy and tired. Great set up with large secure garden. She kept me updated with regular photos and videos. He will definitely be going back to stay.”

“Camiila has been amazing with my 5 month old puppy. Nyx really enjoys going to see her and it is lovely that Nyx has another dog to socialise and play with. I get up dates during the day and Camila is very accommodating with specific needs of my dog. I couldn't imagine her going anywhere else now.”

Georgina B.

About: I work from home and had a young at heart 13 year old black lab and retired PAT dog (he passed away in '24) I grew up with a springer spaniel and also had a beautiful bull mastiff. I work from home most days. I do have location work which means I can't look after dogs then. Other than that I can be flexible with notice. My garden is fenced and large. I live opposite a wood and fields so plenty of good walks nearby. Dogs sleep downstairs in an open plan sitting room/kitchen. All wooden floors. No carpets.

“Baxter had an amazing time and clearly enjoyed his day with you. You took such great care of him and we would definitely highly recommend you to everyone!”

About: With over 15 years of experience owning and caring for dogs, cats, and poultry, we understand just how important it is to know your pets are safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. Having loved and cared for family pets for many years, we’re confident in providing a calm, caring, and home-from-home environment. Although we’re currently between dogs ourselves, we really miss having four-legged companionship in our home and would love the opportunity to care for your dog as one of our own. We live in a semi-rural location with a large, secure fenced garden, giving dogs plenty of space to play, explore, and relax. Our home is family-friendly, full of love and attention, and we’re best suited to dogs that are comfortable around children and enjoy plenty of affection, companionship, and, of course, being thoroughly spoilt. Your dog will enjoy a relaxed, home-from-home experience with plenty of love, attention, and companionship throughout the day. Mornings usually begin with a walk in the beautiful local countryside, giving them the chance to stretch their legs, explore, and burn off some energy. Back at home, there’s plenty of time for play, fuss, and relaxation, with access to our large secure garden for outdoor time and sniffing adventures. Throughout the day your pet will be part of family life, never short of attention, affection, or company. Depending on their usual routine and energy levels, we’ll include additional walks, playtime, and quiet downtime to make sure they feel comfortable, happy, and settled. Whether your dog loves adventure, cuddles on the sofa, or a bit of both, we’ll make sure they feel right at home and cared for as if they were our own. Pets staying with us will be cared for in a safe, secure, and loving family home. We have a large fully enclosed garden where dogs can play, explore, and enjoy supervised outdoor time. They will be treated as part of the family, with plenty of attention, affection, regular walks, playtime, and quiet space to relax, ensuring they feel comfortable, happy, and settled throughout their stay.

About: We’ve taken care of our own lovely dog for 15 plus years. Our morning and evening dog walks, come rain or shine, are in our extensive local country side. Our quarter acre garden is secure and dog friendly and your dog can wander safely at all times in the day. There is always someone in the house so your dog will not be left alone. We are a retired couple who work to a dog friendly routine of interesting walks morning and evening. We are rarely out of the house together and if we are it is for very short periods and infrequently. We ensure your dog is able to settle in without feeling unsafe or threatened. Our garden is large and completely secure for dogs of all sizes. There is room in our house for your dog to wander and room for beds / cages if appropriate. We work to create an environment where your dog can feel safe and happy.

About: I have a 4 year old Border Collie, so caring for a dog is part of my everyday life. I’m used to regular walks, feeding routines, playtime, and making sure dogs are settled and comfortable. I’ve also looked after dogs for family and friends in my home and theirs. I enjoy spending time with dogs and making sure they’re happy, exercised, and relaxed. I work from home full time, so I’m around all day for walks, toilet breaks, play and general company. Dogs aren’t left alone for long periods and fit easily into my daily routine alongside my own dog🥰 My home is calm and secure and I welcome well behaved, house trained dogs. I have a fully fenced garden where dogs can safely spend time outside. I also have a friendly, very energetic Collie who gets on well with other dogs and enjoys having a play mate🐶 We live next to a nature reserve, so there are plenty of opportunities for good walks during the day!

About: We’ve looked after pets for friends and family for over 15 years ,experience with puppies and senior dogs also administering medication I’m home everyday and walk daily. We have experience with Boxer dogs I’m home full time and enjoy walking down by the local river and beach happy to have cuddles and play with energetic dogs with a large back garden. We have a large enclosed secure back garden with real grass and no toxic plants. We know how important it is to carefully follow instructions and a care routine to the letter

“Guoda was great! Agreed to help out with my puppy with only a couple of hours notice. You could tell Guoda loves animals instantly with the way she was meeting Skye which gave me a lot of reassurance. I was updated throughout the day with messages and pictures. Will definitely be back to use Guoda again🥰”

“Milo looked like he had the best time, Louis stayed in contact with me throughout the day, he was very kind doing this as I understand it can be annoying. Loads of lovely photos too. Milo was looked after really well. Thank you 😊”

About: I have grown up around dogs my whole life and absolutely love using Rover as it allows me to spend time with all your lovely pooches whilst I am unable to get a dog of my own. I have experience with many breeds, including Dobermans, Labs, Pointers, Terriers, Cockapoos and Dachshunds and I tailor my approach to each dog’s unique personality and needs. Keeping dogs happy, stimulated and exercised is what I love. From long morning walks to engaging daytime games and evening cuddles on the sofa you can trust your dog will be having a great time and I’ll of course be sending you lots of pictures and updates throughout their stay. I am a fully remote worker so I can offer boarding at my house (provided dogs are house trained) or I can do stays at your house. My partner (also a huge dog lover) will occasionally join me on these stays. I am a remote worker so I am at home all day to care for the dogs. So walks and doggy activities are planned around my work schedule (morning walks, lunchtime play in the garden and evening activities). My only requirement is your dog needs to be well-behaved during down times as I will need to be on work calls during the day. I have experience with all sorts of different personalities so will largely follow your direction and usual routine. I know the area well and choose my walks carefully based on how reactive they are with other dogs. Regarding my house, we have a secure garden for them to explore.

“Dawn was amazing with Mochi who definitely enjoyed all the walks and fun, especially the play time with their dog, Obi. I think he made a new friend and we'll definitely book again.”
