“Hilly has been great to deal with, she was very flexible to our changing travel plans and could not do enough to make Coco comfortable during his stay. We were kept updated with photos through then week. Would be happy to recommend Hilly to anyone that wants to have their dog looked after as if they were part pf the family.”

About: Hi, we’re Harry & Dale. We’ve both grown up with dogs and, as a couple, cared for two very different personalities: Max, a high-energy Patterdale Terrier, and Molly, a gentle senior Black Labrador. That experience means we’re comfortable adapting care to suit individual dogs - from energetic walks and play to calmer routines, medication awareness, and senior needs. We’re patient, attentive, and good at reading behaviour, routines, and cues, helping dogs settle quickly and feel at home. Harry works from home most weekdays, so dogs are rarely left alone and can enjoy company, supervision, and regular comfort breaks throughout the day. Our routine is flexible, calm, and built around the dog’s usual feeding, walking, and rest schedule. Our home is relaxed, clean, and dog-friendly, with a secure garden for supervised outdoor time. We keep routines clear and consistent, follow owner instructions closely, and only take on dogs we’re confident we can care for safely and attentively. We don’t have children, and visiting family is always considered carefully around any dog in our care. Clear communication, regular updates, and your dog’s comfort and wellbeing always come first.
“Highly Recommend Rebecca and Sean. The updates were great, sent many photos and videos throughout giving us peace of mind. Thank you for looking after Leo, would def book again.”
“Faye and Ethan were brilliant hosts for my pooch. Communication was excellent I was never in doubt that there would be any issues in their care. I got pictures and updates and look forward to booking her in for her next stay. Thank you.”
“Maria took excellent care of our dog, Rondo, for a week and a half while we were away. Not only did they accept a last minute booking, but they spoiled our boy! Rondo loved running around their fenced garden, going on walks, and getting a puppuccino. We received several pictures of Rondo playing and cuddling and cute updates of his daily activities. Would highly recommend Maria for any dog boarding needs!”
“Kirsty was wonderful. Leo was so happy to see us when we picked him up but kept running back to Kirsty as well. He obviously enjoyed being with her. Kirsty let us know how Leo was doing with photos”
“We went to greece last week, and left our French bulldog lucky with Darcey for the week, lucky was well looked after and we was kept up to date with photos and messages and always replied instantly I will definitely be leaving my dog there again when I go away. Thankyou!”
About: I had a Doberman for a year and I was a dogsitter for my friend's Boston terrier. I like outside activities and I will give lots of exercises to your pet with a lots of love I can have pets over night, every night and on my days off, mostly Thursday and Sunday, on the days off I have lots of time to spend with little furry friends 🧡 I have secured balcony there cats can enjoy sunshine and watching birds, I love cuddling them and play with them.

“Amazing! What a fantastic mini-break for my little pup - she got on so well with Stephanie's own dog - she is missing her, in fact(!) Genuinely made her feel welcome and did loads with her.”
“Our dog Jasper had the best time ever staying with Aaron. Throughout our time away, Aaron sent us lots of photos and updates, which gave us complete peace of mind knowing that Jasper was being so well cared for. I would highly recommend Aaron to anyone looking for a true home-from-home experience for their dog. There is plenty of secure open space for the dogs to run and play freely, and it is clear that Aaron genuinely cares about the animals in his care. Jasper loved his stay so much that he hardly wanted to leave! We will definitely be using Aaron again in the future.😊”
“Thank you so much for taking great care of my babies, Mimi and Marlee for the 11 days we were on holiday! The updates and photos were perfect for putting my mind at ease, and I could see that they were happy, well looked after and most importantly having lots of fun! Would not hesitate to leave them with you whenever we needed too, you’re wonderfully caring doggy people!! Thank you so much 🐶🐾😀”

About: I am a compassionate, reliable, and experienced animal care professional with over 8 years of experience working as a Veterinary Nurse, alongside my current role as an Ambulance Clinician. Caring for others has always been at the heart of what I do, and animals have been a lifelong passion of mine. My veterinary background has given me extensive experience caring for animals of all breeds, ages, and temperaments, including those with medical needs, anxiety, or additional care requirements. I am confident administering medication, recognising signs of illness, and ensuring pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. Working as an Ambulance Clinician has strengthened my calm, responsible, and trustworthy nature, especially in high-pressure situations. I understand how important it is for owners to know their pets are in safe hands, and I treat every animal with the same care and affection I would give my own. Whether it’s walks, feeding, overnight stays, playtime, or companionship, I provide attentive, personalised care and genuinely love building bonds with animals I currently work shifts as an ambulance clinician, when I schedule pet care it will not be during my working days. My days when I am providing pet care will revolve around the animals normal routine or as close as I can. I provide a safe, clean, and calm environment for every pet in my care. I follow each pet's normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, exercise, medication (if required), and any special care instructions. I make sure pets always have access to fresh water, a secure space to rest, and plenty of attention, enrichment, and supervision. I have a fenced garden and have access to open fields with wooden fencing. When caring for pets in an owner's home, I respect the home and maintain the pet's usual routine to help them feel comfortable and reduce stress. I keep owners updated with regular messages, photos, and reports. Safety is my priority, so I monitor pets closely during walks, playtime, and interactions with other animals, and I follow all instructions regarding health, behavior, and emergency contacts
About: When I was younger we used to have pets and have grown up taking care of animals. We have a friendly poochon now who is 5 years old and lives for a ball to be thrown. My own dog is walked regularly and cared for like the part of the family that she is. I work from home so am usually close by and never out for longer than 4 hours. I have a fenced garden and pets are welcomed on the ground level of my property. The sofas are covered so the doggos can snuggle for naps. Dogs beds are generally located in the rear of the property downstairs.
About: I’ve taken care of my dog Nala since she was 11 weeks old so I have trained her and seen her personality grow since then. Covering her medical needs, I groom her myself and take care of her general day to day care I have also taken care of family and friends small dogs when they’re on holiday and things As Nala is my first pet, haven’t had much experience with older dogs but more than happy to learn and love an old soul I work from home 3-4 days a week so on those days I have a rough schedule that allows me to walk Nala 3 times a day and unlimited time in the garden in between, for example; First walk around 7:30-8am Breakfast Lunchtime walk around 12:30-1:30pm Lunch after Early evening walk around 5:30-7pm Dinner Maybe a last quick toilet run around 8/9pm depending on the day I don’t work on the weekend so if I don’t have anything planned, we can go for long walks or spend the day playing in the garden My husband may also be home on some days working in his office. It’s just the two of us so we will be providing all the care If you trust us with your fur-baby, you can expect them to receive endless hugs and kisses, regular meal times and treats, and the high level of love and care our own dog receives daily We also have lots of family friends with children who may also come for a small time to share the love (we will always say in advance) You can also expect regular and detailed updates about your dog to give you peace of mind while you’re away

“Caroline was great in keeping us updated about our boys stay with photos and texts. As a first time pet boarder Caroline made me feel at ease and I knew she would take care of our pet like one of her own. Thank you!”
“My dog had a great time with Matt. We did a meet and greet to make sure my dog and his all got on before confirming the booking which was great. He settled in really quickly after dropping him off and I think he wanted to stay when it came to pick up time. He definitely settled in as a new pack member with Hugo & Rem. I would definitely book with Matt again - 5*”

“A big thank you to Olivia for looking after my cats. They were well looked after, pictures were even loaded up to the app for me to see. It was amazing to return home and my cats not be stressed out as they previously would have been if taken to a cattery. I will 100% do this again and use Olivia, she is polite professional and the right person looking after your pets!”
“It was great to have Kirsty look after our two girls, she was very enthusiastic and lovely. Both cats gave her the seal of approval which can be difficult as one of them is very nervous of strangers. I would definitely recommend and use again.”
“Stephanie is always so good..when looking after Rupert, at such short notice. I always look forward in hearing how they’ve both got on with the daily updates. Rupert always looks so happy in all his photos on his report card.”
“Once again Crystal did a great job of taking care of Bertie and Tilly while we were away. It's lovely to know that they are in safe hands and we really appreciate her daily updates.”
“Saffron was great with my two cats while we were out of town. She always sent multiple pictures and updates with how the cats were doing after each visit. We came back to a clean house and happy cats! Highly recommend Saffron to care for your furry friends.”
About: At the age of 18 I rescued a scared tom cat which I called TC from the M25, he had literally been chucked out of a car and left! This was the start of my loving journey with all cats. Since then, we have had both cats and kittens in the house. We have cat sat for my sons two ragdoll housecats, one of which required administration of both daily tablets and ear washing so we are prepared to board your cat(s) if required, however If your cat is used to being out and about on the town but you want the comfort and knowledge that he/she is fed and watered look no further. We will happily ensure your cats litter trays are emptied and your cat well cared for and your furry friend has attention and cuddles if required.
“Molly was great, she was keen to do an intro meet and great and kept us updated with every visit. Everything was left clean and tidy with all used tins etc thrown away and the kitchen left nice and clean, which is so important in this hot weather. Our cats seemed very happy. Will use again”
“Cat was new addition to our familly and we had him for about one month.I was sceptical at first and have done good research. Stephanie made the process from begining very smooth.The price was very reasonable.Communication was outstanding and we recieved update every day.Cat has plenty of space to play.There was no issues whatsoever after picking cat up.I feel he is even better behaving than before.I highly recommend Stephanie as she provides outstanding services.”
“Can’t thank Lauren enough for looking after our cats and tortoise whilst we went away. She was extremely flexible and went above and beyond to make sure they were looked after and given plenty of company . Updates were great and our cats settled with her straight away! Highly recommend x”
“We appreciate Grace taking care of our cat Hayley while we were away. She was communicative throughout the pet-sitting period, always replying to my messages on the same day. Our cat seemed reasonably happy overall, though she was a bit scared when we returned and hadn’t really eaten her wet food during our absence (which is not like her). That said, it’s not unusual for her to be shy with new people, and we believe the sitter handled things with care. We appreciated the clean space when we got home. Overall, a positive experience.”

I also have every 3 Monday and Fridays off work so am available in the day some weekdays. I have a 4 year old cockapoo living at home so the house is dog proof and always full of toys to play with. It has now become a habit to always see my dogs in the corner of my eye so I can care for all their needs at the right moment.

About: Growing up in the Lincolnshire countryside I spent many a time looking after different dogs of all shapes and sizes. I have looked after Labradors, Staffies, Spaniels and many more. I am more than at home walking with, playing with and picking up after your dog. Dogs are an added family member and it's important you are comfortable leaving them in the hands of someone competent, therefore I am more than happy to meet before to get acquainted with your home and dogs. I am an outgoing person who loves the outdoors and myself and my partner would love a companion to join us on our many adventures.

They will have access to the whole house and can lay peacefully on the couch in my study or in their own comfy beds if they want company or can retreat into their own space and watch the world go by out of the bay windows in the lounge.

About: Hi, I’m Maria. My husband and I live in Hanwood Park, and together we offer a calm, loving, home-from-home environment where dogs and cats are truly treated as part of the family. I’ve grown up surrounded by dogs of many breeds and personalities — Schnauzers, Cocker Spaniels, Shih Tzus, Boxers, Lhasa Apsos, Weimaraners, and more — as well as cats. Over the years, friends and families have trusted me with their pets again and again, knowing they’ll be loved, understood, and cared for with patience and attention. What matters most to me is that every dog feels safe, relaxed, and emotionally settled while they’re with us. A Home Built on Trust, Not Just Care I know how hard it can be to leave your dog with someone else — they’re family, not “just a pet.” That’s why I’ve always focused on building long-term trust and familiarity with the dogs I care for, rather than quick, one-off stays. Because my husband and I work as a team of two, your dog benefits from: 🐾Constant human presence 🐾Consistent routines 🐾A calm, stable home environment 🐾Never left alone for long periods 🐾Plenty of affection, cuddles, and gentle play 🐾Walks tailored to your dog’s routine and energy level 🐾Access to a garden for fresh air and relaxed time outdoors 🐾Care adapted to your dog’s personality — playful or quiet, young or senior 🐾Regular updates, photos, or videos if you’d like We especially love caring for dogs whose owners are looking for consistency and continuity — a familiar home they can return to whenever you travel, work, or need support. When a dog stays with us, they’re not just being looked after — they’re welcomed into our home and cared for with patience, kindness, and respect. If you’d like to arrange a meet & greet or ask any questions, I’d be very happy to hear from you. We look forward to welcoming your dog My husband and I both work from home, which means your pet will have plenty of company, attention, and supervision throughout the day. We naturally build pet care into our daily routine, including walks, playtime, cuddles, feeding schedules, and quiet rest time. We’re available for boarding during weekdays, weekends, and longer stays, and we always aim to create a calm, loving environment where pets feel safe, relaxed, and part of the family. We provide a calm home environment with a secure garden, consistent routines, and lots of gentle attention and affection. Because there are two of us, pets are never left alone for long periods and always have someone nearby for reassurance and care. We take time to understand each pet’s personality, habits, and needs so they can feel settled, comfortable, and truly at home with us.
About: I have been involved in caring for dogs for over 35 yrs as a qualified veterinary nurse, manager of a boarding breeding and rehousing kennels and currently as a dog trainer and with my own dogs. I am confident to support with medication, look after nervous, anxious and even aggressive dogs. I am passionate about puppy foundations and safe exposure to a wide variety of experiences to ensure the best start equipping your dog to have confidence and life skills. Your requirements can be discussed if you do have a young dog or even a dog needing to gain some confidence eg a rehome. I can provide a safe, warm home environment for elderly dogs and can offer them time and my experience to ensure they settle in my home. Your pet can socialise with my dogs if this is beneficial but can also be kept separately if required. I have experience working with guide dogs and assistance dogs. My own dogs have been registered Pets As Therapy dogs and used to help individuals conquer dog phobias. Please get in touch to discuss how I might be able to help. 1:1 training opportunities also available by request. I work part time and can devote part and full days to looking after your pet. Pets can be walked once or twice a day with regular toilet breaks. I have a fully secure garden with direct access to local fields and footpaths for county walks. Dogs can be with my own dogs or kept separately if required. Whichever is more beneficial for your pet. I am happy to use crates but this is not a necessity. Dogs can sleep upstairs if required and are welcome on the sofa.

We’d happily book again and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter.”

About: When I was about 10, we rescued my English Setter at the RSPCA. I trained him to trust humans again which wasn’t easy, taught him a range of tricks and provided him with unconditional love he had never received before. My pets are back home in Geneva, so I don’t own any pets in the UK at the moment. My friends refer to me as the biggest animal lover they’ve met, catch me petting every animal I pass by on the streets :) I’ve walked multiple dogs in my neighbourhood when my neighbours needed it, and took them home for the day when needed too! I work from home every day, and have a pretty relaxed schedule with one meeting a day as I am a developper, so I have plenty of extra time to look after your dog and take them on walks around the neighborhood :) I live in a detached house in Hanwood Park, I have a good-sized fenced garden where your dog can go running around and play, and also have a hose outside in case they get muddy so I can clean them up before they go back home!

Whether it’s walks, feeding, overnight stays, playtime, or companionship, I provide attentive, personalised care and genuinely love building bonds with animals I currently work shifts as an ambulance clinician, when I schedule pet care it will not be during my working days. My days when I am providing pet care will revolve around the animals normal routine or as close as I can. I provide a safe, clean, and calm environment for every pet in my care. I follow each pet's normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, exercise, medication (if required), and any special care instructions. I make sure pets always have access to fresh water, a secure space to rest, and plenty of attention, enrichment, and supervision. I have a fenced garden and have access to open fields with wooden fencing. When caring for pets in an owner's home, I respect the home and maintain the pet's usual routine to help them feel comfortable and reduce stress. I keep owners updated with regular messages, photos, and reports. Safety is my priority, so I monitor pets closely during walks, playtime, and interactions with other animals, and I follow all instructions regarding health, behavior, and emergency contacts
About: With over 20 years of experience working with animals, I offer pet care that’s truly tailored to each individual animal - because no two pets are the same. While there are lots of walkers and sitters out there, I pride myself on doing things differently. I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all care or repetitive routines.

Caring for pets is part of my everyday life - both professionally and personally. As a trained dog groomer, I know how to handle dogs of all shapes, sizes, and temperaments with patience and care. At home, I have my own cat, so I understand the needs of both dogs and cats and how to make them feel safe, happy, and loved. Every day, I plan walks and visits around each pet’s personality and energy, keeping dogs active and stimulated, and giving cats or small pets plenty of attention and comfort. Every animal in my care is treated like my own, with lots of play, cuddles, and positive reinforcement. With over 20 years of experience working with animals, I combine knowledge, routine, and genuine affection to make sure every pet is happy, healthy, and secure.

About: What sets me apart is my hands-on experience raising my own dog, Bruno, from a young puppy. I’m comfortable with training, daily routines, and giving personalised care to dogs of all ages. Caring for pets is at the heart of my daily routine—I look after them for a living, and my day happily revolves around their schedules. I provide care right in your pet’s own home, ensuring they stay comfortable in their familiar environment. Since I have my own dog at home, I focus on keeping your furry friend company, following their routines, and providing a safe, trustworthy environment. Whether it’s crating if needed or just giving them lots of attention, I make sure they feel right at home.
About: Hey please read all of this profile before messaging I appreciate it’s a lot to read but when it comes to finding the write place for your baby to stay then it’s importance that it’s a safe and lovely place for them to holiday also the price is already worked out with your dates. Thank you 🙏. So firstly I am astounded that I am having to even write this on my profile/website but unfortunately due to some extremely and very rude people I have to. I want any future clients to no that this is my business and I don’t have another job I take my role as a sitter very serious when it comes to looking after your dogs especially to be part of there life’s. Pet sitting has two sides to it. The first side being the cuddles and love you give and receive but the then you have a legal obligation to them also which many people don’t realise we have. as The legislation changed in October 2018 that all dog sitters have to have be licensed regardless if your only doing for a few months threw summer to day in day out 365 days of the year. I am a bit in disbelief that I even have to put this on my profile but sadly I have had to. I have over 30 years experience and the laws around daycare and boarding changed in 2018. So with that being said there are many rules and regulations we have to adhere to without that it’s against the law to do so and can result in serious consequences and you can receive a criminal conviction and or both a fine then banned to ever being able to obtain a future licence so it is extremely important for us as responsible sitters to have to abide by these conditions. For us to be able to do this we have to have certain information regarding your dog along with your names,address phone numbers, email, chip numbers, insurance details emergancy contacts, behaviour, vets etc, etc with the information you supply that enables me to keep within my licence conditions and that can help me make your dogs time as safe and lovely as possible. I will ask you to sign terms and conditions and also provide me with a schedule of your dogs day so I can keep your dog as close to home life as possible the information is only used while we have your dogs it’s not used in any other way and I have to abide by data protection laws. We as sitters are responsible for the life, wellbeing and happiness of any dog we agree to look after until the owner returns. Thankfully doggie daycare and Doggie Boarding this is regulated and is also inspected from our local council, RSPCA we cannot refuse any inspections day or not neither a planned or on surprise on the spot inspection as this should be if anything laws around dogs should be made a lot more tighter and tougher for those who don’t have a license. I want to briefly want also let people know about licences and how there obtained which is issued from the local council you DO NOT !!! get a licence unless you have had that visit from a licencing officer and then also the following : Firstly you have to have a current Animal First aid and CPR certification, You have to applie to your local council of which you have to do a lot of paperwork, Fire Safety, Risk assessments and written policy’s and your own procedures of what you use part of your business these have to meet the legal requirements you also have to have written vet authority and many other things. Just because you may be a member of many dog advertising sites and you have insurance or from them by working and advertising on any website nor buying public liability you have had a dog all your life from little this doesn’t qualify as a license. You cannot operate until you have your licence there are no exceptions at all you have to have all of the above before you can take a dog for boarding. There are no excuses and hopefully if you haven’t got a licence you should be shut down. The final thing I would like to say before you can get into reading about me and my experience obviously my reviews speak loads about me, also I have a licence, I am completely honest and will tell you if I don’t think we are a good fit I am and have current qualifications and am yearly retaking them as new things are introduced. So when your choosing your sitter pls bear in mind this “ If you have a child, children, niece or nephew and you need to get say a child minder you would not leave them with someone that you haven’t had a conversation with by phone or email initially with first or if they don’t have any experience in looking after children, first aid or have child minding licence or even any crimes against children so why would let someone look after your dog without letting the person you select for this your phone number or email address surely the ones that won’t make a call or send you an email and pictures of there facilities to let you have an in-site to where your dog will be are the ones you need to avoid. If you want to book with me you will need to give me these details like what I spoke about above. I do apologise that we proper sitters that have had to jump threw hoops and fire, by doing exams and following guidelines and rules and that this is my main business those of you are genuinely wanting to book daycare or boarding I am sorry that you have had to read all of this and with the other things before you actually get to the about me !!! I am sorry but people have to ruin something so beautiful and enjoyable for us to be able to enjoy all breeds of dogs and meet some lovely kind and genuine customers that then become very good friendships also to provide us with one of the best jobs I am sorry for this and also thank you for your booking and custom from the past to the future if you are not willing to tell me about your 4 legged family bundle of joy then I am probably not the sitter for you those of you I am thank you and see you soon 🥰 🥰BOOKING FOR 2024 Some dates still available "". 🐩 🐕 🐶 !!!!! Why don't you provisionally book now for summer dates??? once they have gone unfortunately they are gone"""" However waiting for my licence so I can provisionally book but can't complete booking till I have my licence "" ** I want to say before you read my profile my reviews are very real and verified"" **huge amount of repeat bookings** *currently taking new customers ** ""Booking for next year get you:dates in they can be changed easily not so easy to make a space for you!! Please also don't be offended that if I have bookings here and you follow them once they leave which I try to have a day in between the ending of there's to the start of yours I don't normally give my address out until they have gone it's only for extra security and the best interest of the dog or dogs that are here and my own. There's no disrespect and please don't take it personal. Obviously if you have been here before then it's doesn't matter. Although if you need the the address for sat nav or to plan your journey then please let me no thank you in advance for being understanding. I want to take this opportunity to welcoming you❤️🥰❤️ I look forward to meeting and loving your fur baby's. PLEASE READ ALL THE WAY TO THE END so you have the best view on what I have to offer. The first bit of this profile are important so pls read this as I hope it will answer any concerns right from the start. The Boring Bits .............. *** I have mentioned this later on in my profile I WANT TO IN ADVANCE APOLOGISE THAT IF I ALREADY A BOOKING/s THEN I WILL NOT BE ABLE TO DO A MEET AND GREET at the same time the reasons for not being able to offer them are as follows: (1,) For Security for the dog. If I have bookings and don’t have a free day which many are back to back I can’t do a meet the safety and welfare of the boarding dog has to be priority. if I had your dog here the same thing would apply (2,) For safety reasons if a customers dog gets out (which has never happened) but I have many different types of dogs there’s a chance that you could also get bitten. (3,) If I have your dog I would have to leave it inside on its own whilst I do a meet and greet with a strange person which it can take 10 mins to 2 hours and I don't offer a kennel service it is purely home from home boarding and I wouldn't want my dog left whilst someone was arranging another booking whilst I am paying for the care for my dog. (4,) The boarding dog has more of a possibility of an escape route as all concentration will be on the meet and greet dog not the boarding dog. I am sorry if this causes a problem I just don’t want the boarding dog to be anyway compromised whilst in my care the time spent with us is a happy and positive stay. However, I can send pictures and videos of the house, garden and my dogs so you you can see where they will be. *** HANDOVERS/PICK UPS ARE DONE OUTSIDE IN GARDEN*** (due to a serious health condition of a family member this has been since COVID and don’t do inside tours this is also our home!!! I can send you pictures as previously mentioned, we can FaceTime live so I can give you a Virtual tour that absolutely fine) ** if you do have a holiday in the pipeline please book in advance to avoid disappointment. There is also time for a trial booking before your holiday if needed and I always say “it’s better to be booked in as it’s easier to change and move the date then to try to fit you in” We get a phenomenal amount in of booking requests and my regulars will get priority however I would never cancel to accommodate. So once you make a firm booking I intend to complete that and I also ask that of yourself if you don't think your going to need a booking please don't cancel this the day before if you think there are or may be the chance of you not being able to comple the booking please give as much notice so I can offer the dates out to people who maybe waiting for them or cancellations. So......... the boating bit out the way let's talk🥰I have been a dog owner all my life from little. I also have dogs myself & no how important it is to be able to leave your darling pooch in the hands of someone that will look after them give them the love they need. I have 29 years of experience dealing and owning various breeds, i have a expertise in Animal Science including first aid, Training, CPR I studied to be a veterinarian but stopped as wasn't to good with the operations however I worked in many practices as a veterinary nurse, also in many kennels. My parents owned this company previously to me so it's been established a lot longer then I have taken over. I am with them 24hrs a day 7 days a week so they are never left on there own they have constant supervision. I take one booking at the time for the reason that I can give them more one on one love then i could if i took more then one booking. It's not quantity its quality and I offer a kind, warm and comfortable happy home for the to rest their paws while you rest your right up until you return. My mum was a retired German Shepard champion breeder & also in various small breeds as am I. We breed and supplied German Shepard's to the police and in the private sector so visiting the puppies are not a problem at all in fact we love it 🥰 Here we accept all ages of dogs for a sitting and Daycare and drop in visiting services. I am extremely reliable and will not cancel on you at all I have never in the whole time of being involved with dog sitting/daycare/drop-in visits/grooming cancelled a booking as I know such a lot of them do. As well as being experienced in all aspects from nose to tail i can offer continued support and advise if need on training/grooming for new pups to new Owners as well. I understand how anxious i get about leaving my babies so I am here to help not only dogs but also the owners I don't believe in locking dogs in cages & don't really like the thought of kennels so yr babies will be treated like part of our family whilst there with us plenty of dog loves, kisses. they will have constant contact 24hrs a day. I do want to stress that if your use creates for your dog then this will be adhered to and am happy to do so) My dog sleeps in my bedroom, and was sleeping on my bed but since recently they now sleep in there beds in my room if yours are allowed on the bed that's fine.If yours is only allowed in a certain area/s of the house, or you have a certain routine this will also be adhered to. They will never be left unattended. I am a qualified groomer and can also a offer Grooming and general tidy up if required without a booking also but not in peak season nor why a dog is here boarding. The receive a daily brush and clean as mine are brushed every day at no extra cost. am kind caring person which I think gives your baby a relaxing place to rest their paws whilist you relax yours. I offer a professional service to keep your baby happy and safe. I have years of experience and also fully qualified to look after your baby everything from nose to tail so at least you have complete confidence knowing that your bundle of joy is in good hands. I am also very honest which believe it or not is an must being in this job. If you have any special recommendations that you would like for your pampered pooch it will be adhered to at all times. I have both front and a very secure back garden which is 180 ft long with 6ft fences and it’s more like 9-10ft as all access points are fitted with trellises for extra height so in turn can offer plenty of fresh air & games outside of which they will be supervised at all times. In summertime I have paddling pools and plenty of cooling watery games and also air conditioning throughout so if you don’t won’t your baby to get wet then please advise off this which is no problem as I have alternative things to keep them cool. There are no escape areas & flower friendly and also fully cctv in operation 24hrs a day front and back inside every room in the home which has has motion sensors and recording that comes through to my phone. There are gates on every door making it impossible to get out so there will be no escapes which is also a bonus 😂 (that is a joke in case you thought I was serious) If you have any questions don't hesitate to contact me I will keep constant contact with you whilist your pooch is with me send regular dog updates pictures,videos, via what’s app or iMessage. You can FaceTime your baby if you miss them to much. I have experience in badly behaved, dogs, aggressive, guard dog, also military and working dogs (with PTSD) , I have complete knowledge on sick and injured dogs that that requires around the clock care, pregnant, and puppy care, treatment injections, tablets and pain relief etc. I am also fully qualified and able to microchip. I am qualified for canine CPR Daily brushing is also available I have my own grooming side also which your babies can get a fresh cut whilst they’re on holiday with me so when you pick them up they will be smelling like roses all fresh and ready for their owners to be picked up I also send them birthday/Christmas cards and if they’re lucky enough to be with Me around December or there Birthdays They will receive presents ❤️ More boring bits ..........😉 Please also fill out your dog's profile and add a picture before submitting a request as this enables me with the information I need to complete your booking safely, lovingly and the best that I can be for you.❤️ Those without completed profiles will be answered in turn Once a secure booking is made I will need your email address so I can send my forms it's basically the same information but it's a chance for you to tell me all about your baby/s so that I can get to no all there likes and dislike this may seem pointless and a bit repetitive but it's really not as we need to no how to make your babies stay the best hoilday for both of you ❤️ **how it works...........) -Once you have sent me a booking request it will come threw to me. -if I can help with your dates I will ask to supply your full name, direct phone number if I can't help I am sorry perhaps another time!!! -However for the purpose of this great news I.am able to have your dog. - so I will call you and we can have a chat and you can ask me questions and tell me what you want whilst your babies are with me this is perfect chance to get all the information you need. (I need a direct contact with you when your buddy is here with details of what you require during their stay no matter how small you think the details the more information I have the better 🙏.) - you book and pay on the Rover site. - you send your email I will send you details I need from you to carry out your booking. - You bring your baby on the day of the booking - I fall in love with your baby and we have a fun time and they get throughly spoilt but within your specifications. - The booking is at the end you collect your baby/s. - You book in for your next hoilday 🤣 that's obviously not compulsory 🤣 but I hope you do obviously. I am taking bookings now for next year!!! yes that’s right I am taking booking now and some dates are already gone also some months already booked out already🙈 ❤️ If you need more reassurance on how lucky they are going to be staying with us then please feel free to read the reviews they speak for themselves your fluffy friend is the most important thing to us and I strive to make it as happy, exciting and calm not stressed environment when they come. Handovers are done in the same way it's controlled calm environment it's also safe and designed not to cause separation anxiety it is has been done the same way and practiced for over 30 years of them coming in calmly and secure way which in turn gives them a better stay. They are not forced in they walk in on there terms so they don't have to be scared they feel loved and happy Once your booking day comes and it’s time for you to bring your fluffy baby for their holiday to me the handovers are done outside of the house in the Garden since covid as it’s safe for you and me. ** please bear with me I am getting a phenomenal amount of requests and bookings I will get back to you by date order so for example if your booking is for the same day you will get answered straight away.so if you haven’t yet heard from me I am getting there thank you so much for your patience ❤️🙏. 👌Pls also due to covid and a family member who has extreme breathing problems all meet and greets and handovers are done outside in the garden to be cautious but pictures of all areas of the house and garden my dogs can also be sent 🙏 I am home full time so any schedule is adhered to. I ask for this in writing of which I can send to you and you can fill this in and bring it with you and your fur baby on the day of boarding or even better you can send this back to me so I can read up on what they need so I can be fully prepared for there hoilday with me. My home is your furbabys home for there little hoilday why can they not have a great hoilday as well. So I think the important part of the service I offer is it being as close to their home environment as much as possible so they Do not get home sick and really enjoy their time with us. I offer a relaxed and playful time with lots of love. I have Pomeranians and they are extremely socialised as you can imagine so when they have new friends come it's ever so exciting for both mine and yours even if they don't play on a normal day they seem to love to play here as they are in a pack and they seem to thrive really well however that being said for the older dogs and the dogs that are not used to play mine understands and they leave them to chill which they have learnt over the years of different outside dogs coming in. I have many security measures in place so they are safe, comfortable, and extremely loved I have security cameras inside and out in the front and back of my home, I have cameras inside in every room apart from two bedrooms of which I rarely would go anyway they are motion sensitive the front and back of the house is also floodlit clear views of the front and the back of the house. These cameras are also reviewed by a security company for added protection. If your lucky to be booking in summer then your fur baby has friends that live here that love to play and then it will be lovely weather so there will be water games and games in the garden so they will have a brilliant time also for this year I have got hoops and we can set up a mini assault course so they can run threw the tunnels and lots more. Also I have 3 different size pools this year well actually probably 4 if you include our swimming pool of which they have no way of access to that and can not physically get in or fall in) I have 3 different size according to the size of your pup and will be supervised at all times when using them and so the can cool down the are supervised out in the sun so the don’t get burnt or heatstroke and they can get it there’s always fresh water down and bowls of water everywhere so they will be able to have as much as they possibly can drink “” thirsty work playtime “”” I also have air conditioning since we had the heatwave which is a god send for our furry friends and us and big 4ft fans if we need to be coller.

About: I was brought up with a lot of pets and have over 20 years experience. I have been pet sitting for over 10 years for family and friends. I have a huge passion for animals and decided to quit my full time job to become a full time pet sitter and dog walker. I offer a free bespoke consultation which will be tailored to your pets needs/requirements. Safety for you pets is paramount. I’m in the process of completing a sitters course and first aid course.
About: I’ve had pets throughout my entire life. Often looking after friends, family & neighbours pets. After moving out and now I WFH the majority of the week, I’m looking to offer my time to help others with looking after their pets. I will ensure to keep your pets entertained, comfortable & fussed throughout! My current work is hybrid, with one-two days per week in the office. The rest of my week is spent at home. My time prior to work, lunch times and after work will be available for walks - due to my digital role, I am able to take some meetings away from the desk so can spend lots of time with your pet. I do go to the gym/play hockey on some evenings for 1-2 hours, your pet must be able to stay by itself for this. If your pet is comfortable in groups then I will take them along to events I can but if not, I would let you know in advance. If a whole week is required, I can adapt my working calendar to be at home - this requires a booking to be done in advance. Happy to discuss :) I have a long fenced garden which is perfect for fetch and many fields/parks nearby which provide great walk routes. I allow pets in the house - the only room closed off will be the bedroom. Fuss and cuddles on the sofa will be allowed. I live in a bungalow with no animals, so it's great for pets who aren't comfortable with stairs or nervous around others. For walks please provide the most secure leash method for bigger dogs in particular - a nose or body harness preferred unless your dog is very well walk trained. Please remember that while your dog is very good with you, they may try and test a strangers boundaries. Food/Bedding - the owner *you*, will need to supply plenty of food for the stay. I suggest you bring a few of their favourite treats/toys and some of his/her bedding from home.

About: I am a compassionate, reliable, and experienced animal care professional with over 8 years of experience working as a Veterinary Nurse, alongside my current role as an Ambulance Clinician. Caring for others has always been at the heart of what I do, and animals have been a lifelong passion of mine. My veterinary background has given me extensive experience caring for animals of all breeds, ages, and temperaments, including those with medical needs, anxiety, or additional care requirements. I am confident administering medication, recognising signs of illness, and ensuring pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. Working as an Ambulance Clinician has strengthened my calm, responsible, and trustworthy nature, especially in high-pressure situations. I understand how important it is for owners to know their pets are in safe hands, and I treat every animal with the same care and affection I would give my own. Whether it’s walks, feeding, overnight stays, playtime, or companionship, I provide attentive, personalised care and genuinely love building bonds with animals I currently work shifts as an ambulance clinician, when I schedule pet care it will not be during my working days. My days when I am providing pet care will revolve around the animals normal routine or as close as I can. I provide a safe, clean, and calm environment for every pet in my care. I follow each pet's normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, exercise, medication (if required), and any special care instructions. I make sure pets always have access to fresh water, a secure space to rest, and plenty of attention, enrichment, and supervision. I have a fenced garden and have access to open fields with wooden fencing. When caring for pets in an owner's home, I respect the home and maintain the pet's usual routine to help them feel comfortable and reduce stress. I keep owners updated with regular messages, photos, and reports. Safety is my priority, so I monitor pets closely during walks, playtime, and interactions with other animals, and I follow all instructions regarding health, behavior, and emergency contacts

“My dog had a great time with Matt. We did a meet and greet to make sure my dog and his all got on before confirming the booking which was great. He settled in really quickly after dropping him off and I think he wanted to stay when it came to pick up time. He definitely settled in as a new pack member with Hugo & Rem. I would definitely book with Matt again - 5*”
About: I want to give your pets the best time they will have! I have had bad experiences with dog trainers and walkers and have worked in kennels working to rehabilitate dogs and I would not wish that for any dog and this motivates me to look after your pet as if they were my own! I would give them all the love and attention they need and spend my time with them in ways which they would want it as each dog is unique and have their own personalities. I have 2 dogs myself and love spending time with them. In the future I hope to have my own boarding kennel where dogs can be dogs and do what they want to do! I also have a qualification in dog grooming and can also help training of manners and day to day tasks. I do work full time working as managment within a care sector so long days keep me busy so if I will do my upmost to accomidate and would not accept to look after your pet if I could not give them what they need. I live in a home with a huge garden so there is plenty of space for them to run around. Dogs are part of the family and should be treated as such, having a puppy and older dog of my own there are toys all over. I have an up to date DBS.
“Cassandra was really nice when she took care of Dio for the week we traveled. She was flexible with my time when we met prior the sitting. She was attentive and kept me updated and sent me pictures so it gave me a piece of mind during my Easter holiday. I would definitely recommend her.”
“Contacted Chloe and she responded immediately in the evening, needed someone last minute to take care of my Bella. She was able to collect and drop her of to me and she also updated me with pictures and texts. Very profession and caring, would 100% recommend. Will not leave my dog with anyone else. See you soon, thank you xx”
