We got regular updates and photos which put us at ease. I would absolutely recommend Dawn and Robert. They are fantastic ?”
“Excellent - lovely sitter, responsive and responsible, great comms and kept updated during stay. Bilbo had a great time and I’m not convinced he was happy to come home at the end! Highly recommended to anyone.”
“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.”
“An excellent choice for your doggos vacation !! I was sent pictures every day, and nothing was too much hastle, including dog jumpers and jackets ! They had the run of the house, with an ample back garden to do their toilets in. I wouldnt hesitate to recommend Marek to anyone, he definately put me, and the dogs, at ease !!”
“Maria and Javier took great care of Bailey and took her on lots of adventures. She clearly had a great time with them. They sent lovely pictures and I'm sure that Bailey would be excited to stay with them again in the future :)”
“Our labrador Roxy, spent a week at Lucy's for the first time and was very happy and cared for. Even during the heatwave, she ensured the dogs kept cool and safe which was really important to me. I would recommend anyone to use Lucy's boarding service :)”
“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*”
“Barney loved his stay with Steph and her family. He hit it off with her own dog and we really enjoyed seeing photos of his walks. Steph was very accommodating and this meant we could enjoy our holiday without feeling we had to rush back to meet a specific time, which took the pressure off. Barney even 'enjoyed' a shower before we picked him up as he tends to get a muddy tummy out on walks. Overall, I am very pleased with the care offered by Steph and will definitely use her again.”
“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!”
“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”
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.
About: Pet owner and lover. I've been taking care of family and friends dogs for over 15 years. I also board dogs professionally. Working from home means I'm available at different times throughout the day. Reliable and a genuine love for all animals I work part time from home which my own dog LOVES! I can be available mornings, afternoons and evenings, both weekdays and weekends. I'm an early riser which allows me to care for my own dog around your pets Pet safety and happiness is at the forefront of all I do! I want your dog to be happy and you to feel at ease and know you're dog is reconfigured the same love and care you yourself give them
About: I've had pugs for life. Raised from puppies and was there aiding my beautiful first pug for the birth of my bonded pairs puppies. I now have 2 young pugs which I adore along with my 4 children. I am blessed enough to work from home, and I home educate one of my daughters who is also passionate about caring for animals. We've looked after friends dogs at times and now know it's time to share the love. We want to build on caring for small dogs specifically. We are a home from home set up and your dog will be as free and loved here as our own. I currently work part time from home, so am always available for cuddles and play and walks every day. Toilet breaks are frequent. I can care for diabetic dogs and administer insulin and medications where needed as I've cared for dogs with needs and had my own diabetic dog. I have a fenced garden, a large garden for play, there's comforts in every room. I have 2 dogs for company and 4 children between 6 and 14 and we all love pugs. Your pugs are welcome to lay and sleep on all sofas and beds and might come home a little spoilt.
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: If I had to choose between spending the day with people or dogs... the dogs would win every time! 😂 I've always been a huge animal lover, especially when it comes to dogs. I've grown up around them my whole life, so caring for them has always come naturally to me. I currently have two gorgeous dogs of my own—Yorkshire Terrier ( Maja) and a Cockapoo puppy ( Mimi) —who are a huge part of my life. They keep me on my toes with lots of adventures, cuddles, and playtime! Alongside caring for my own dogs, I've regularly looked after and walked dogs for family and friends, giving me experience with a variety of breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. Whether your dog is energetic and loves to explore or prefers a slower-paced stroll with plenty of sniffing stops, I'll tailor every walk and visit to suit their individual needs. Pet care is something I genuinely love and enjoy being part of my routine. I’m fully flexible on weekends, making them ideal for longer walks, adventures, dog sitting, and giving your furry friend plenty of attention and care. I’m happy to work with your dog's usual routine and will always do my best to provide reliable, consistent care. Whether your dog needs an exciting adventure walk, some one-to-one attention, or a cosy home-from-home stay, I’ll make sure they feel happy, comfortable, and well looked after. I understand that every dog has different needs, so I’m always happy to chat about what works best for you and your furry friend. 🐶💕 If your dog stays with me, they'll be welcomed into a loving family home and treated like one of my own. I live in a spacious three-bedroom house with a fully secure, fenced garden where dogs can safely play, explore, or simply relax in the sunshine. Inside, they'll have plenty of cosy places to curl up, lots of love and attention, and as many cuddles as they'll allow! For dog walking, I’m happy to offer both solo walks and walks with my own two dogs joining us. If you would like your dog to have a one-to-one walk with me, that is absolutely fine. Alternatively, if you’re happy for your dog to have some friendly company, my two girls would love to come along and enjoy the adventure too! Just let me know what you’d prefer when booking, and I’ll make sure your dog has a fun, safe, and enjoyable walk that suits your wishes. For dog boarding and stays in my home, my two girls will naturally be part of the family environment, so I kindly ask that any dogs staying with me are friendly, comfortable, and happy around other dogs. I’ll always make introductions carefully and make sure every dog feels settled, safe, and welcomed as part of the family. 🐾

“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”
“Crystal did a brilliant job looking after our two cats. She is very efficient and having met her I felt very confident leaving Bertie and Tilly in her capable hands. She sent daily updates and even managed to capture a photo, which is not easy as B and T are shy of people they don't know! I hope she can look after them next time!”
“Josh did an amazing job at looking after my 2 cats & gave them exactly the care I wanted for them! He took photos and a detailed summary of every visit so I knew they were happy and cared for. His communication was excellent and I’d recommend him to anyone! Thanks so much Josh a you made a stressful situation un-stressful x”
About: Hi, I'm Kieran! I have a deep love for animals, while I don't have pets of my own right now due to living in a pet-free flat, I will channel all my animal-loving energy into looking after yours! I am active, trustworthy, and fully focused on making sure your pets feel safe, happy, and loved while you are away. Why Choose Me? I grew up around animals and feel completely confident handling different breeds, energy levels, and personalities. Because I cannot bring pets to my home, my focus is entirely on your turf. I offer dedicated house sitting in your home, drop-in feeding visits, and energetic outdoor dog walks. I also understand how precious your pets are so I can provide regular photo and text updates during every booking so you have total peace of mind. Whether you need a regular Saturday morning dog walker, weekday evening drop-in visits for your cat while you're away, or an overnight house sitter, I am here to help and remain flexible.
“I can highly recommend Stephanie. She takes care of my cat Mafi with care and love. Stephanie was making sure Mafi had all essential (fresh food, clean water, clean litter box) but also my cat gets a lot of cuddles, petting and playtime. Each day I received a lot of adorable photos and update about my pet. Stephanie takes a professional approach to animal care. 😻🩷”
“We came across Stephanie in the nick of time as we were desperately looking for some last minute help over Xmas due to family emergency. I was really worried that Lula and Dash would feel overwhelmed and not warm up to Stephanie because of a last minute change into their routine, but they adopted her and came back to us well rested and happy. I am really grateful to Stephanie and will definitely be using her services again 😊.”
“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.”
“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.”
About: We’ve got together over +20 plus years of experience with cats, I have had cats all throughout my life and My girlfriend has got 5 Cats, George, Cleo, Ozzy, Merlin and Teddy. They are her children! She spoils them rotten! So I assure we would treat them as if they were our own pets. In A Safe Loving Environment.
About: I’ve been caring for cats for over 10 years, and I truly understand their unique personalities and needs. I always respect their space and let them approach me on their own terms, which helps them feel safe and comfortable. At the same time, I pay close attention to their mood and energy. When they’re feeling playful and engaged, I make sure to interact with them and keep them entertained. My priority is to create a calm, stress-free environment where each cat feels secure, respected, and well cared for.
About: Hi there I am available for cat drop ins and sits, I already have a few cat sits and drop ins that I do regularly, as well as key hold to make repetitive business easy. I am DBS checked, trusted by many so any questions please ask

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: Hi, I’m Maddy, the owner of Maddy’s Happy Paws! I’m a reliable and caring dog walker/ day sitter with hands-on experience looking after dogs of different breeds, sizes, and personalities. I understand that every dog has their own routine and needs, so I always make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for. Your dog will be treated like one of my own, and I’ll always keep you updated with photos and messages from our walks and time together!

I also keep spare equipment such as leads, collars, towels, treats and cleaning supplies so I’m always prepared and dogs stay comfortable. In owners’ homes, I follow each dog’s usual routine as closely as possible so they feel relaxed and settled. I make sure they have plenty of attention and any specific care they need. On walks, safety is always my priority. I keep dogs on lead where needed, stay aware of our surroundings and make sure they get the right level of exercise for their age and energy. Walks are always fun, engaging and tailored to each dog.
About: Dogs have been at the centre of my life for as long as I can remember, and quite simply, they are my world. My wife and I don't have children, so our three dogs are our fur babies and cherished members of the family. Any dog that stays with us will be treated exactly the same way, with love, patience, affection, and plenty of individual attention. We live in the countryside on a beautiful property with a secure one-acre fenced garden where dogs can safely play, explore and relax. We also have access to a six-acre field, perfect for longer walks, games and adventures. Surrounded by nature, there are endless exciting smells, sights and countryside trails to enjoy, making every walk stimulating and enjoyable for your dog. One of our own dogs is now elderly and requires daily support, medication and extra care. Because of this, I have extensive experience looking after senior dogs and those with medical needs. I understand how important routine, patience and reassurance are, and I am confident administering medication and providing the extra attention older dogs often need. Over the years, I have also owned and cared for rescue dogs with behavioural challenges. Through consistency, understanding and positive reinforcement, I have helped anxious and nervous dogs build confidence and thrive in a loving environment. In fact, people in our village affectionately call me "The Dog Whisperer" because of the bond I seem to form with dogs of all ages, breeds and personalities. I strongly believe that every dog is unique. Before your dog stays with us, I will take the time to understand their normal routine, likes, dislikes and any special requirements. If they are used to morning cuddles, evening sofa time, favourite walking routes, medication schedules or specific feeding routines, we will do our very best to replicate this. I know how reassuring consistency can be when dogs are away from home. Whether your dog loves adventures, playing in the garden, relaxing in the sunshine, getting lots of fuss and attention, or simply curling up for a cuddle, they'll be welcomed into our home as part of the family. My aim is for every dog to leave happy, relaxed and excited to come back again. What sets me apart? Large secure 1-acre fenced garden Access to a 6-acre private field for walks and exercise Experienced with senior dogs and administering medication Experience rehabilitating and caring for rescue dogs with behavioural challenges Able to maintain your dog's normal routine and preferences Plenty of one-to-one attention, affection and companionship Genuine lifelong dog lover whose dogs are treated as family "I don't just look after dogs, I welcome them into our family." 🐾❤️ My wife and I both work from home, which means there is usually someone at home throughout the day to provide companionship, attention and care. I work from home three days a week and my wife works from home two days a week, so dogs staying with us are rarely left alone and can enjoy plenty of interaction, playtime, exercise and cuddles. Our days naturally revolve around our own three dogs, with regular walks, garden time, feeding routines and lots of affection. We are happy to adapt our schedule to suit your dog's needs, whether that's longer walks, extra play sessions, medication, comfort breaks, or simply having someone nearby for reassurance. We understand that every dog is different, so we'll take the time to learn their routine and do our best to maintain it during their stay, helping them feel settled, secure and at home. We live in a peaceful countryside location with a secure, fenced one-acre garden where dogs can safely explore, play and relax. We also have access to a six-acre field, providing plenty of space for walks, exercise and enrichment in a safe environment. Our home is shared with our three friendly resident dogs who are well-socialised and love meeting new friends. One of our dogs is now elderly and prefers a quieter pace, but still enjoys being the "mother hen" of the group and is always happy to welcome and look after visiting dogs with plenty of kisses and affection. The safety and wellbeing of every dog is my top priority. I have experience caring for senior dogs, administering medication, and supporting dogs with additional needs. Having previously owned rescue dogs with behavioural challenges, I understand the importance of patience, consistency and reading canine body language. Before your dog's stay, I'll take the time to understand their routine, personality, preferences and any special requirements. Whether they love adventures, playing with other dogs, sofa cuddles or simply a quiet place to relax, I'll make sure they feel safe, comfortable and treated as one of the family. My promise is simple: your dog won't just be looked after, they'll be loved. 🐾❤️

About: I have had animals all my life, ever since I was little, and caring for them has always been something I am passionate about.

I want your dog to be happy and you to feel at ease and know you're dog is reconfigured the same love and care you yourself give them
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’ve walked my sisters dog every week for the past 3 years, also helped my mums dog attend puppy classes and learnt a lot from these lessons I’m currently working a flexible schedule and usually having two days off together really helps. I’m more than happy to stay with the dog if I’m free to do so I usually take my sisters dog for an hour long walk and the. At home feed and and wash him before he then snoozes in his bed
About: If I had to choose between spending the day with people or dogs... the dogs would win every time! 😂 I've always been a huge animal lover, especially when it comes to dogs. I've grown up around them my whole life, so caring for them has always come naturally to me. I currently have two gorgeous dogs of my own—Yorkshire Terrier ( Maja) and a Cockapoo puppy ( Mimi) —who are a huge part of my life. They keep me on my toes with lots of adventures, cuddles, and playtime! Alongside caring for my own dogs, I've regularly looked after and walked dogs for family and friends, giving me experience with a variety of breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. Whether your dog is energetic and loves to explore or prefers a slower-paced stroll with plenty of sniffing stops, I'll tailor every walk and visit to suit their individual needs. Pet care is something I genuinely love and enjoy being part of my routine. I’m fully flexible on weekends, making them ideal for longer walks, adventures, dog sitting, and giving your furry friend plenty of attention and care. I’m happy to work with your dog's usual routine and will always do my best to provide reliable, consistent care. Whether your dog needs an exciting adventure walk, some one-to-one attention, or a cosy home-from-home stay, I’ll make sure they feel happy, comfortable, and well looked after. I understand that every dog has different needs, so I’m always happy to chat about what works best for you and your furry friend. 🐶💕 If your dog stays with me, they'll be welcomed into a loving family home and treated like one of my own. I live in a spacious three-bedroom house with a fully secure, fenced garden where dogs can safely play, explore, or simply relax in the sunshine. Inside, they'll have plenty of cosy places to curl up, lots of love and attention, and as many cuddles as they'll allow! For dog walking, I’m happy to offer both solo walks and walks with my own two dogs joining us. If you would like your dog to have a one-to-one walk with me, that is absolutely fine. Alternatively, if you’re happy for your dog to have some friendly company, my two girls would love to come along and enjoy the adventure too! Just let me know what you’d prefer when booking, and I’ll make sure your dog has a fun, safe, and enjoyable walk that suits your wishes. For dog boarding and stays in my home, my two girls will naturally be part of the family environment, so I kindly ask that any dogs staying with me are friendly, comfortable, and happy around other dogs. I’ll always make introductions carefully and make sure every dog feels settled, safe, and welcomed as part of the family. 🐾
“Fantastic Dog Walker – Highly Recommend! I couldn't be happier with the service provided by Kelly! She took such wonderful care of our dog, Frodo, treating him as if he were her own. I could tell my dog was in great hands. Communication was excellent—I received regular updates and even a few lovely photos, which really put my mind at ease. Frodo always came back happy and well-exercised. If you're looking for a reliable, friendly, and professional dog walker, I highly recommend Kelly. I’ll definitely be booking again!”

My Dog was a rescue who was very nervous around other humans and doggies, I took extra care with him re introducing him to new environments - now he is the most loving and playful dog!

About: I have a genuine passion for animals and plenty of hands-on experience caring for pets. I have my own pets, including dogs and cats, which has given me a great understanding of their different personalities, needs, and behaviours. I hold a Level 3 diploma in Animal management with Distinction* grades, as well as qualifications in pet sitting, dog walking and dog grooming. I have also worked in both a cattery and kennels, giving me valuable experience caring for a variety of cats and dogs and understanding their individual routines and requirements. I already work with pets and regularly gain practical experience, while continuing to develop my dog grooming skills. I am caring, reliable, patient, and dedicated to making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care I currently work part-time at Pets at home, although i often work more than my contracted hours depending on the needs of my work place. Because of this, i will fit pet sitting, dog walking and drop in visits around my work schedule and my days off. I always want to make sure i can give every pet the time, attention, and care they deserve, so i will be honest and upfront about my availability before accepting a booking. If you are looking for someone who can be with your pet 24/7, I may not always be the right person, depending on my working days and hours. However, I will always do my best to work with you and create a schedule that suits both you and your pet. When caring for pets in their home, I always aim to keep their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. I take time to understand their usual feeding, walking, toileting, medication, playtime, and bedtime routines, and make sure these are followed as closely as possible. I provide plenty of attention, affection, and reassurance while respecting each pet’s individual personality and boundaries. I also make sure their home is left clean and secure, and I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos so owners can have peace of mind knowing their pets are safe, happy, and well cared for.

About: I have had two doggies for the last 12 years. My eldest dog went over the rainbow bridge a few months a go and I’m really missing having doggy walks and company. I work part-time as an exam invigilator a few months of the year, have a car and feel I’d like to offer my care to some pets in need. I prefer to work with smaller breeds, with up to two smaller dogs at a time or one cockerpoo size. I would be happy to come and spend time with your furbaby whilst you are at work or on a day trip. We can have a play, chill out or go for a walk. It’s entirely up to you and your dog. I am happy to spend time with dogs of all ages. I am working as an exam invigilator for a few months of the year and have my own car. My children are now grown and they and my husband are now out all day. I regularly look after my father who is 86 one day an week and take him to hospital appointments. Other than this I am available to pop in and look after a dog or two. Take them for a walk or just give them some company. I am happy to care for pets in their own environment. I find that pets seem to be happier if they are in their own environments.
About: have experience caring for small dogs and have also cared for a Golden Retriever. I genuinely love dogs and enjoy spending time with them, especially taking them for walks. When caring for dogs, I follow the owner’s routine closely to ensure their comfort and happiness. I provide plenty of attention, playtime, and exercise, and I make sure they’re safe and well looked after while their owners are away. I’m happy to adapt to each dog’s personality and needs to provide the best care possible. I do pet sitting full time, so I’m able to focus on caring for animals throughout the day. I also sell digital art, which I fit in around my pet sitting schedule. This way, I can give all the pets plenty of attention while still working on my art. I care for pets by visiting them in their own home, so they can stay relaxed and comfortable in a familiar space. Before we get started, I like to have a friendly meet and greet with both the pet and owner to build trust, learn about their routine, and exchange keys. During visits, I stick closely to their routine , feeding, topping up fresh water, giving treats, cleaning litter trays or any messes, and most importantly, showering them with lots of love and attention. I also send regular updates so owners know their pets are happy and well looked after while they’re away.

We got regular updates and photos which put us at ease. I would absolutely recommend Dawn and Robert. They are fantastic ?”

“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.”

They had the run of the house, with an ample back garden to do their toilets in. I wouldnt hesitate to recommend Marek to anyone, he definately put me, and the dogs, at ease !!”
“Our labrador Roxy, spent a week at Lucy's for the first time and was very happy and cared for. Even during the heatwave, she ensured the dogs kept cool and safe which was really important to me. I would recommend anyone to use Lucy's boarding service :)”
“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!”
“I am so happy I have found Chloe. She is the best to look after Sky. She was updating us every single day about our dog. We had photos and videos. Sky was treated as a family member. He came back pumpered, he was properly groomed and smelled divine. I am going to bring every time to Chloe because I know he will be in the safe hands.”
“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*”
“Barney loved his stay with Steph and her family. He hit it off with her own dog and we really enjoyed seeing photos of his walks. Steph was very accommodating and this meant we could enjoy our holiday without feeling we had to rush back to meet a specific time, which took the pressure off. Barney even 'enjoyed' a shower before we picked him up as he tends to get a muddy tummy out on walks. Overall, I am very pleased with the care offered by Steph and will definitely use her again.”
“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!”

My wife and I don't have children, so our three dogs are our fur babies and cherished members of the family. Any dog that stays with us will be treated exactly the same way, with love, patience, affection, and plenty of individual attention. We live in the countryside on a beautiful property with a secure one-acre fenced garden where dogs can safely play, explore and relax. We also have access to a six-acre field, perfect for longer walks, games and adventures. Surrounded by nature, there are endless exciting smells, sights and countryside trails to enjoy, making every walk stimulating and enjoyable for your dog. One of our own dogs is now elderly and requires daily support, medication and extra care. Because of this, I have extensive experience looking after senior dogs and those with medical needs. I understand how important routine, patience and reassurance are, and I am confident administering medication and providing the extra attention older dogs often need. Over the years, I have also owned and cared for rescue dogs with behavioural challenges. Through consistency, understanding and positive reinforcement, I have helped anxious and nervous dogs build confidence and thrive in a loving environment. In fact, people in our village affectionately call me "The Dog Whisperer" because of the bond I seem to form with dogs of all ages, breeds and personalities. I strongly believe that every dog is unique. Before your dog stays with us, I will take the time to understand their normal routine, likes, dislikes and any special requirements. If they are used to morning cuddles, evening sofa time, favourite walking routes, medication schedules or specific feeding routines, we will do our very best to replicate this. I know how reassuring consistency can be when dogs are away from home. Whether your dog loves adventures, playing in the garden, relaxing in the sunshine, getting lots of fuss and attention, or simply curling up for a cuddle, they'll be welcomed into our home as part of the family. My aim is for every dog to leave happy, relaxed and excited to come back again. What sets me apart? Large secure 1-acre fenced garden Access to a 6-acre private field for walks and exercise Experienced with senior dogs and administering medication Experience rehabilitating and caring for rescue dogs with behavioural challenges Able to maintain your dog's normal routine and preferences Plenty of one-to-one attention, affection and companionship Genuine lifelong dog lover whose dogs are treated as family "I don't just look after dogs, I welcome them into our family." 🐾❤️ My wife and I both work from home, which means there is usually someone at home throughout the day to provide companionship, attention and care. I work from home three days a week and my wife works from home two days a week, so dogs staying with us are rarely left alone and can enjoy plenty of interaction, playtime, exercise and cuddles. Our days naturally revolve around our own three dogs, with regular walks, garden time, feeding routines and lots of affection. We are happy to adapt our schedule to suit your dog's needs, whether that's longer walks, extra play sessions, medication, comfort breaks, or simply having someone nearby for reassurance. We understand that every dog is different, so we'll take the time to learn their routine and do our best to maintain it during their stay, helping them feel settled, secure and at home. We live in a peaceful countryside location with a secure, fenced one-acre garden where dogs can safely explore, play and relax. We also have access to a six-acre field, providing plenty of space for walks, exercise and enrichment in a safe environment. Our home is shared with our three friendly resident dogs who are well-socialised and love meeting new friends. One of our dogs is now elderly and prefers a quieter pace, but still enjoys being the "mother hen" of the group and is always happy to welcome and look after visiting dogs with plenty of kisses and affection. The safety and wellbeing of every dog is my top priority. I have experience caring for senior dogs, administering medication, and supporting dogs with additional needs. Having previously owned rescue dogs with behavioural challenges, I understand the importance of patience, consistency and reading canine body language. Before your dog's stay, I'll take the time to understand their routine, personality, preferences and any special requirements. Whether they love adventures, playing with other dogs, sofa cuddles or simply a quiet place to relax, I'll make sure they feel safe, comfortable and treated as one of the family. My promise is simple: your dog won't just be looked after, they'll be loved. 🐾❤️
