“Jasper would have gone to my daughter's wedding and created havoc no doubt if the venue had allowed it - but they didn't, so the next best thing was a protest vote and go one better - a night in with Patrycja and her partner watching Netflix. And he got so much more than he bargained for. Lots of attention (what self respecting velcro dog wouldn't love that?), a new BFF as she had another furry friend staying over, and lots of walks with photos to dad thrown in. Honestly Patrycja, he couldn't have asked for a better experience. Thank you for looking after him and a loving lick from a very tired Jasper.”
“Hayley and Pete were lovely and friendly, asked lots of questions about Bella and what she's like in the home ,on lead ect. Bella is very nervous with new people and they didn't try to push her for a stroke. Having some playmates definitely helped Bella to settle in. Will definitely be using again. Thanks very much Hayley and Pete 🐾”
“Many thanks to Brian and Nichola for looking after Stan for what must have seemed ages. Stan has been telling me how much he has enjoyed his time with you and how very much he enjoyed his walks. I cannot thank you both enough for taking great care of him and no doubt I will be in touch again.”
“Ben has been absolutely brilliant while we were away. We had so many pictures and videos of Alfie and Noah getting up to high jinks and it really put us at ease. He was very communicative throughout and understanding of Alfie’s needs. Alfie looks like he had the best time and was well taken care of.”
“Monty had a brilliant time, he was well looked after and Rachel even followed our training program so Montys training wasn't disrupted. Rachel kept me up to date with everything Monty was doing and sent pictures too. Overall a positive experience and Monty will probably visit again soon.”
“Helen and her husband looked after Barney for the weekend and sent us regular updates and photos I prefer Barney to stay in someone’s home now he is nearly 11 years old and this was the prefect stay for him lovely garden because he loves spending time outside and a relaxing environment Thanks for looking after him”

I would definitely recommend her, and we will absolutely be back. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of Rufus he had a great time! x”
“Chloe looked after Sky for a couple of days and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. She was incredibly attentive to Sky’s needs and made sure she felt comfortable and settled from the start. We really appreciated the regular updates and photos. Sky looked so happy and relaxed the entire time. Sky is a sensitive soul, and it’s clear Chloe has a natural way with dogs. We were genuinely 110% happy and wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again. Highly recommend!”
“It's wonderful to hear that Rufus had such a great time with Silvia, playing with Milo, and making new friends. Having someone care for your pet and provide updates can bring peace of mind while you're away. ?? Silvia was definitely amazing with Rufus!!! A must dog sitter your pet will be loved and very safe. Thank you again for Rufus’s great time, he literally didn't move last night and snoring was included ?, that's how much of a fab time he had. You will be seeing us again!! ❤️”

“Thank you to Sarah, Matt and the boys. Terry went to stay for a few days while we went to a family wedding. He had a great time and was really welcomed into the family, in fact, not sure he wanted to come back! Will definitely be going back again. Thank you so much”

“We approached Lynda to see if she had availability to look after our cat, Chester, so that we could book a much-needed last-minute holiday. Despite the short notice, Lynda was incredibly accommodating and quickly arranged to visit us, meet Chester, collect the key, and familiarise herself with his routine. From start to finish, the service was flawless. Lynda kept in touch before, during, and after our holiday, providing regular updates and, at our request, daily photos of Chester. As Chester is our 13-year-old son’s beloved cat, this gave us great peace of mind while we were away. Lynda visited twice a day, as requested, and took excellent care of him. She ensured he was fed and watered, spent time playing with him, changed his litter tray, and even took care of small details such as switching the lights on and off. It is clear that Lynda genuinely loves cats. Chester warmed to her immediately and remained happy, relaxed, and settled throughout our holiday. Thank you, Lynda, for taking such wonderful care of Chester. We wouldn’t hesitate to use your services again in the future and highly recommend you to others.”

“Michelle was lovely. She came for a meet and greet and we had a lovely chat. She asked what she needed to know to look after my girl. My cat is not a sociable girl and Michelle understood that so was happy to leave my cat in Michelle's care. Michelle sent me updates when she stopped by which was reassuring. Will be booking with Michelle again.”

“Superb! It was Lottie's first stay with Brian, she had a wonderful time. From my initial enquiry to pick up Brian communicated promptly, answered all my questions and put my mind at rest. During the day he sent photos and gave updates on their adventures. He listened and took time to get to know Lottie and her individual needs. I couldn't have asked for more. Will definitely book again.”
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Paulina looked after our dog, Jilly, for the day and we couldn’t be happier with the care she provided. She kept us updated throughout the day with lovely photos, which gave us real peace of mind. It was clear that Jilly was well looked after and having a fantastic time. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Paulina to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter. We’ll definitely be using her again in the future. Thank you, Paulina, for taking such great care of Jilly!”
“I was very nervous about leaving Tucker with anyone, as he is a very anxious dog around both people and other dogs. From the very beginning, Chloe’s communication was fantastic. She was happy to meet beforehand and do a meet-and-greet so Tucker could be introduced in a calm, relaxed way, which immediately put me at ease. The way Chloe interacted with Tucker made me feel comfortable straight away. When we dropped him off yesterday, her communication continued to be excellent. She kept me updated on how he was settling in and sent regular updates throughout the day, including lots of photos, which I really appreciated. I will definitely be using Chloe again. In fact, I’ve already booked her for next month and plan to continue doing so to help Tucker build familiarity and confidence. We’ll then be introducing overnight stays, which will make such a difference for us as a family, knowing we finally have a reliable and caring person to look after him when needed.”
“Enola had a fabulous time with Rachel. She was really great at communicating before and during the visit and gave a really detailed update in the report card which I thought was so nice! I’ll definitely be using Rachel again and would really recommend her too 😊”
About: I've taken care of dogs for my entire life. From alsatians to chihuahuas I've looked after them all and know that no two dogs are the same but all dogs deserve love and attention. I'm currently working part time and from home so I have plenty of time for cuddles and snuggles. Having your companion will be my excuse to move between online meetings meaning we are looking after each other. I have a fenced garden and live on a very quiet estate with country walks and fields less than 5 minutes away. We have an open plan living room so even in the house there is room to wander.
“Sabina was amazing, she was super accommodating with my puppy and the communication was fantastic, despite the fact it was super last minute, can't recommend her enough. I got regular photos and updates which was really nice given it's the first time we have been apart. I would take my pup back anytime”
“Toby loved his first stay and can’t wait to have more, two walks, cuddles and treats. Jordan and her parents are brilliant and Toby was so well looked after. Pictures and updates were fab x”
About: Dog lady, love dogs! Owner and carer of dogs for 20yrs. Recently studying dog behaviour course and have clients for both dog walking and behaviour therapy. Kisses and cuddles a plenty!! I’m a (young) retired teacher. Retrained as a dog behaviourist. I have two primary age children and need to be around for school pickup and drop off but I’m flexible with the rest of my time. I’m available Monday to Friday I have a fenced garden and two crazy fun pupsters to play with your fur baby if they enjoy play. Or an 11 yr old guy who likes to snooze if that’s what your little one prefers. Alternatively, for dog walking I have a dog mobile that I can pick up and safely collect and return your furry family member. I never walk more than three dogs at a time and by arrangement can walk separately if needed. I’m calm and patient and love my time with four legged friends so, their health and safety is paramount to me at all times 😍
“For a first time ever at daycare I'm really pleased. Obi is a nervous little guy sometimes and Dilma and co. really helped Obi feel comfortable. He even had a little nap which I was surprised at. I didn't know if he was going to be able to settle in a strange environment. Will definitely be coming back for another play day x”
About: Hi, I'm Emma! I'm a fully licensed and insured pet carer with a Level 3 Diploma in Canine Care & Management, as well as Pet First Aid certification. Caring for animals has always been my passion. I grew up on my family's farm, where I helped hand-rear lambs, calves, and foals. From there, I went on to work with horses, greyhounds, and hunting hounds, giving me experience with animals of all ages, breeds, and temperaments. I started my pet care business because I struggled to find someone I truly trusted to look after my beloved pug, Teddy. That experience inspired me to create the kind of service I was looking for myself—a safe, loving, home-from-home environment where every pet is treated like one of the family. Whether your dog loves long walks, cuddles on the sofa, or simply having company throughout the day, I'll make sure they receive the care, attention, and affection they deserve. My priority is ensuring both you and your pet feel completely comfortable and confident while you're apart. Pet care at In The Doghouse is around the clock! Our bed is your bed, your pets needs is my priority, they're not just your family they're mine too. I have a fully secure good sized garden with plenty of toys. Double locked gate, with CCTV. Dog cam is also used inside the home.
“Grainne has been brilliant with our 8 month Cocker Spaniel. She has gone out of her way to make sure that he has settled in her home. He has been to secure dog fields and enjoyed spending time with both Grainne and her cocker Oscar. I would have no worries with leaving Cooper with her in the future.”
“Silvia took good care of our Bella when she stayed for the day. Bella enjoyed playing with Silvia’s dog Milo and she came home happy & tired. Would be happy to leave Bella with Silvia and her family again. Communication was excellent from Silvia and she would always reply quickly.”
“Megan has been just perfect, she was super friendly, accommodating and looked after our dog wonderfully. She kept us up to date and sent regular pictures to show how much of a good time he was having. We will 100% be booking future daycare and overnights with Megan for sure. Megan thank you so much for taking care of our boy, we are so pleased he now has a new girlfriend too! :)”
About: I had 2 beautiful staffies that have now passed on due to old age and I know how hard it is to find good people to look after your pet last minute or even for holidays or days out, I miss having dogs but like to travel so can no longer be a permanent dog owner, but I'm happy to share the love and look after your furry friends In your time of need. I have experience looking after cats and dogs in my adult life and had various other pets as a child (all had fur or feathers) I do not allow animals on my furniture or on/in my bed, these are my non negotiables as I like the spaces I use to relax to be free of dog hair and dirt. This doesn't change the fact that your pet will be loved and fussed (if that's what they like) I prefer dogs to have a crate as my 2 loved theirs and it helps keep boundaries in the home, however, I am flexible with each pets individual care needs, I can sleep downstairs or have your pet sleep in their bed in my bedroom if needed for anxious pets or those used to sleeping in bed with their owners. I would prefer a visit/meet before any official booking to ensure I am the right fit for your pet and vise versa, but I appreciate this won't always be possible, communication is key, as I want to offer the best care possible for your pet. I have experience in crate training, muzzle training and puppy/toilet training. I have also have experience with teaching dogs of all ages new tricks, commands and stimulating their minds so they are more receptive to learning. I have been looking after other people's dogs before for years including family members, friends and a few friends of friends. Ive had dogs stay with me for weeks at a time too. Whatever your needs are give me a shout, I used this service myself for my boy years ago and was very anxious to leave him with a stranger so please ask any questions you may have, I'm an open book. I work from home on certain days of the week, this can change as sometimes I may need to visit clients but this is rare and usually pre planned. Pets will be walked first thing in the morning before work and then again after work, or whatever is required for each individual. It's important and animal is stimulated and gets exercise if they are able. I have a small grass back garden that is fenced off for fresh air and toilet needs, there is a park 2 minutes form my house for walks etc. I don't currently have any pets at home
About: Hello! My name is Sarah and I live with my husband Matthew. I have been looking after people's pets since I was a child, and I've always loved animals. We are an animal loving family (the kind that throw their dogs birthday parties). I am very trustworthy and love having dogs around. We have a detached house and a secure garden with a large lawn for them to play on. A dog in our care will be treated as a family pet and have the run of the house and garden. The can sit on the sofas with us and come upstairs at night . My dogs mean the world to me, and I pride myself on giving all dogs the best possible care. We only take small dogs due to having a little chihuahua who finds larger dogs a bit overwhelming, so you don't have to worry about your dog being upset by larger breeds. We may consider a slightly larger dog if it is very calm and/or older. I work part time (2 or 3 days per week), and my husband does short days, so the pooches are never on their own very long. We like to take them on at least two good walks per day, in different locations, typically parks or forests. We make sure all dogs on our care are really happy, and I send regular photos and updates about your pooches because I know how nerve wracking it can be leaving them. We typically look after only one client's dog(s), so your pet(s) would get our full attention. I am happy to give any medication. Please let us know your dog's routine and likes/dislikes and we will do our very best to accommodate them. We're happy to answer any questions you might have, and we are looking forward to meeting you and your dog! I work part time 2 or 3 days, and my husband works from home sometimes and does short days also so our dogs (and yours) will seldom be left alone, and never for very long. We walk them 2 times a day in a range of locations to keep it fun! Weekends can be long long walks if they like. We have a detached 4 bedroom house with a large, secure rear garden laid to lawn. Your dogs will have the free run of the whole house. We always keep your dogs on leads for walks, and we will make sure they only eat the food you provide.

About: I have had dogs and other pets in the family for 11 years now. Currently have 2 dogs of my own who are both now 2 and had them since they were 8 weeks old. I am about to go on maternity leave so will have plenty of time to walk your dogs! ☺️ I am happy to travel within reason. I have a spacious fenced off garden so plenty of room for your dogs to run should they need to come here and 2 friendly dogs of my own!
“Paul was excellent - met him on the Sunday which was the day before we needed a dog walker and he came over to our house chatted and met Winnie to make sure she was happy. Had 2 walks with him last week and he confirmed both times how good she was and how well behaved she was which was a relief! Will definitely be using Paul again! Thank you for looking after her!”
About: I’ve spent my life in a home where there was always a dog or cat around, and I honestly can’t imagine it any other way. For me, pet care is just about making sure your animals feel comfortable and loved while you’re away. I’ve had two Cavalier King Charles Spaniels, but I am more than happy to walk and care for any breed of dog, big or small. I also have plenty of experience with moggies and am equally open to looking after cats of all kinds. I’ve learned over the years that every animal is different, and I’m happy to follow their lead-whether they want to be active and play or just be left to nap in peace. I’m a local here in Mansfield and mostly just want to provide the kind of reliable care I’d want for my own pets. I’ll make sure they stay in their routine, keep everything clean, and send you a quick photo so you know they’re doing fine. Since I work a hybrid schedule, I have a lot of flexibility during the week. I can easily pop in for morning or evening drop-in visits to make sure your cats or dogs are fed and settled according to their usual routine. On the weekends, I’m available for dog walks at any time that suits you. I’m happy to work around your pet’s specific schedule so their day stays as normal as possible while you’re away. I know it’s a big deal to trust someone with your home and your pets, so I make safety my top priority. When I’m dropping in, I’m careful about more than just the pet; I always double-check that doors are locked, alarms are set, and windows are secure before I leave. I grew up in a household where the pets were part of the family, so I’m naturally mindful of things like keeping 'human food' out of reach and making sure gates are properly latched. I’ll always treat your home with total respect, keep everything tidy, and stick strictly to the security routines you have in place so you can feel completely at ease while you’re away.
About: What sets me apart is my understanding of animal psychology. I can read the body language of both cats and dogs, adjusting my care to their individual needs. Whether your cat is shy, playful, or your dog requires special attention, I tailor my approach to create a calm and safe environment where your pets feel comfortable while you're away I’m available all weekend, so I’d be happy to take care of them during that time but if someone really needs me I am available during the week as well. I prioritize your pet's safety, trust, and comfort by maintaining a secure and familiar environment in your home. I follow any specific instructions you provide to ensure your pet feels at ease. I ensure their space is clean, safe, and stimulating, and I make sure to maintain routines they’re used to. Whether it’s feeding, playing, or simply keeping them company, I provide the same level of care and attention as if they were my own.
“Tom met Barley for the first time today. We were a little anxious as Barley is an energetic, young cockapoo who has never been walked by anyone other than ourselves. Tom arrived early. Discussed Barley’s needs and then took him on an amazing walk. Tom was professional, polite and showed a natural rapport with dogs. Barley returned happy and tired. We have no hesitation in recommending Tom and hope in the near future to book boarding with him. Many thanks Tom.”
“Ben is lovely, very accomodating and communicative and sends lots of lovely pictures and videos. Alfie obviously has a wonderful time on his walks and has everything he needs during his walks.”

About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of pets for a long time. My friends and family all know that if they need somebody to look after their pets whilst they are away then I am the girl to call! From drop-ins and toilet breaks, to walks, grooming and medication, I am well-experienced with both small and large animals. I am happy to stay for both short and longer periods of time! I have pets of my own, so I know how important it is to choose the right person to take care of your fur babies. Please don’t hesitate to message me with any queries you may have! As a part-time online student and freelancer, I am available across the whole week to take care of your fur babies, whether that be routine drop-ins or a house stay for a longer period of time! The safety of your pets will be my top priority whilst they are in my care. I’ll be sure to take notes as you tell me your pets needs and requirements.
About: I've taken care of many pets over the years and have loved every minute. As I've been able to get to know so many different personalities that come with all pets, I've learnt some tricks and games to play to keep them entertained and happy. I've cared for many different breeds and ages of dogs, including older ones that required medication and extra care. I've also had experience with puppies who need that extra little bit of attention and help with training. I'm currently working from home so I'll have plenty of time to give your pet's special attention whilst you're away. My schedule is flexible so walks and special requirements can easily be fit in to my day or week. I always want to leave a home I've stayed in as clean as possible so owners can come back and instantly relax (I hate the stress that comes from cleaning after travelling home too). When a pet is at home, they tend to be relaxed and comfortable, so my main priority is keeping it that way and keeping things clean and organised, so there are as little disruptions to their environment or routine as possible. This service requires a level of trust that I always want to keep at the highest level as it can be daunting to leave your pet or home with a stranger. But I hope to gain your trust with the assurance that I respect your space and your pets and want the best outcome for us both.

I offer consistent rates for all pets, regardless of size. Please feel free to get in touch for further details — I look forward to caring for your pet. I am available most days and am flexible for a range of services. I always put your pets needs first and prioritise their routine to fit into mine. Care for your pets all depends on the services you require. I will always focus on your needs and change activities based on whatever your pets energy levels are.
About: I’ve loved dogs for as long as I can remember, with most of my experience being with larger breeds. I’ve grown up around big dogs and currently have three of my own, so I’m very comfortable handling strong, energetic and independent dogs. My own dogs have given me plenty of experience understanding different personalities, managing excitement and energy, and recognising when a dog needs space, reassurance or simply a good run around! Along with the different needs of dogs from overseas. I’m equally happy looking after dogs of all breeds and sizes. Every dog is different, and I enjoy getting to know their individual personality and working out what makes them happy and comfortable. Whether you need someone for a walk, some company while you're at work, or a sitter while you're away, I'll treat your dog with the same care and attention I'd want for my own. Big dogs, little dogs, young dogs, old dogs – they’re all welcome. 🐶❤️ I currently work a changing shift pattern, so my availability can vary from week to week. I’ll keep my Rover calendar up to date and am happy to discuss dates and times in advance to make sure I can give your dog the time and attention they deserve. I have a secure, fenced garden and three friendly dogs of my own. I understand that every dog is different, so introductions and interactions will always be handled carefully. I can provide a calm, safe environment and can use a crate or separate space if your dog needs it. I'm more than happy when dog sitting to stick to your dog's routine and meet their needs accordingly whilst in the comfort of their own home.
About: Hi, I'm Emma! I'm a fully licensed and insured pet carer with a Level 3 Diploma in Canine Care & Management, as well as Pet First Aid certification. Caring for animals has always been my passion. I grew up on my family's farm, where I helped hand-rear lambs, calves, and foals. From there, I went on to work with horses, greyhounds, and hunting hounds, giving me experience with animals of all ages, breeds, and temperaments. I started my pet care business because I struggled to find someone I truly trusted to look after my beloved pug, Teddy. That experience inspired me to create the kind of service I was looking for myself—a safe, loving, home-from-home environment where every pet is treated like one of the family. Whether your dog loves long walks, cuddles on the sofa, or simply having company throughout the day, I'll make sure they receive the care, attention, and affection they deserve. My priority is ensuring both you and your pet feel completely comfortable and confident while you're apart. Pet care at In The Doghouse is around the clock! Our bed is your bed, your pets needs is my priority, they're not just your family they're mine too. I have a fully secure good sized garden with plenty of toys. Double locked gate, with CCTV. Dog cam is also used inside the home.
About: Lifelong pet owner and animal lover with three years of experience as pet sitter and dog walker for various breeds. I provide safe, nurturing care for a wide range of animals, including dogs, cats, fish, birds, and small mammals, such as rabbits and hamsters. Friendly and trustworthy, putting pets and their people at ease with reliable, conscientious care. I can provide in-home pet sitting and pet care services, including workday check-ins and feedings, litterbox, cage, and kennel cleaning, overnight care, and long-term vacation care. Furthermore, I demonstrate adaptability and flexibility, providing last-minute services for emergency circumstances. I always put pet parents’ minds at ease by treating homes with respect, sending text, photo, and video updates, and providing post-care follow-ups with notes on behaviors, moods, activities, and more. I also keep pet well-being front-of-mind by planning engaging, appropriate activities and play sessions. I follow any special instructions or limitations that pet owners provide. I'm currently a stay at home parent hence I have plenty of time to care for your beloved pets, taking them for walks and play time. I am an extremely caring person and love all animals big and small. I provide excellent care in your home as well as in my own.
About: I previously owned and operated a pet store for six years, building a substantial clientele and earning trust. I have a deep understanding of the behavioral cues of both cats and dogs and expertise in caring for dogs with various health issues, including conditions like ear mites, interdigital dermatitis, and skin diseases. I am knowledgeable about the causes and treatments for these ailments. Additionally, I am proficient in providing routine pet care, such as bathing, blow-drying, nail trimming, expressing anal glands, and cleaning ears. Moreover, I know how to select suitable food for cats and dogs. In my former pet store, I regularly prepared nutritious meals for boarded pets. Through years of experience, I've learned that patience and genuine care are paramount in this profession. I am currently a college student studying equestrian-related disciplines at NTU. I have free time every weekend and am more than happy to assist those in need with taking care of their beloved pets at home. I will begin by inquiring about essential details regarding the pet, such as feeding amounts, dog-walking times, play durations, and litter box maintenance. Additionally, I'll attentively listen to the owner's specific requirements. Moreover, I offer complimentary basic health checks for the pets and can provide caregiving advice. After discussing the care plan, I will ensure to fulfill the agreed-upon needs as per our arrangement. I'm also open to sharing video updates of each care session with the owner.
About: Hi! 👋 A little bit about me…I’ve grown up with animals in my life and have had pets since age of 5. Growing up on a farm, I’ve always naturally had an affinity for animals. I have experience looking after kittens, puppies, cats as well as dogs. I have been trusted to dog sit for friends and family for most of my adult life, but have been doing so professionally for the last few years. If you have any questions at all - feel free to message me. I currently work from home so have now got increased capacity to make weekly trips to look after other peoples pets. Hence I am opening my availability up to provide care for more pets. Caring for each pet is different and I am more than happy to meet requirements of each pet’s specific needs and routine alongside providing a watchful eye and fulfilling their personal interactive needs such as cuddles/petting, treats, and continuing their training as requested.

“Jasper would have gone to my daughter's wedding and created havoc no doubt if the venue had allowed it - but they didn't, so the next best thing was a protest vote and go one better - a night in with Patrycja and her partner watching Netflix. And he got so much more than he bargained for. Lots of attention (what self respecting velcro dog wouldn't love that?), a new BFF as she had another furry friend staying over, and lots of walks with photos to dad thrown in. Honestly Patrycja, he couldn't have asked for a better experience. Thank you for looking after him and a loving lick from a very tired Jasper.”
“Hayley and Pete were lovely and friendly, asked lots of questions about Bella and what she's like in the home ,on lead ect. Bella is very nervous with new people and they didn't try to push her for a stroke. Having some playmates definitely helped Bella to settle in. Will definitely be using again. Thanks very much Hayley and Pete 🐾”
“Jordan is amazing! I couldn't find a better person to take care of Ringo! Jordan is very professional, she knows how to take care of big dogs. She also offered Ringo, while I was abroad, a home! Ringo loved Jordan and he also had the company of her own dog, Fudge. Fudge and Ringo became best friends and both enjoyed playing and habving long walks in the park. Usually Ringo suffers alot when I am going abroad, but this time, with Jordan, he settled very quick. I cannot thank enough to Jordan and her mom! Definitely, I'll ask again for Jordan's services in the near future!”

“Chloe looked after Sky for a couple of days and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. She was incredibly attentive to Sky’s needs and made sure she felt comfortable and settled from the start. We really appreciated the regular updates and photos. Sky looked so happy and relaxed the entire time. Sky is a sensitive soul, and it’s clear Chloe has a natural way with dogs. We were genuinely 110% happy and wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again. Highly recommend!”

About: I’m a caring, patient and responsible person who absolutely loves animals. I always treat every pet with kindness, attention and respect for their individual needs. I had a beloved dog chow chow who sadly passed away three years ago, so I understand how special the bond between a pet and their owner can be. I also have experience caring for more demanding dogs, including a friend’s dog with multiple allergies, which required extra care and attention. I would be happy to give your pet lots of love, attention, walks and cuddles, while making sure they feel safe, comfortable and well cared for. 🐾❤️ I work from 8am to 1:30pm, so I’m home for most of the day. I don’t have any pets of my own, so your pet can feel comfortable and relaxed in my home, just like they’re at their own home. 🐾 Your pet will be welcomed into a calm, loving home where they can feel safe and comfortable. I have a fully fenced garden and no children I’m happy to provide lots of walks, playtime, cuddles and attention, depending on what your pet enjoys and needs
