“Karen and her husband stepped in for us over Christmas when our original plans changed due to a family matter. Our little dog Rosie settled straight in and was super well loved and looked after. Karen and her husband were super helpful at making the process of leaving our dog very easy and we were sent regular updates and photos. Rosie was super happy to be left and was allowed to treat their house as her own - which we are super grateful for. A very big and secure garden to play in. We will not hesitate to book with Karen again when needed. Thank you so so much x”

My dog was well loved and walked twice in 24 hours. More than he gets at home! My boy came home happy 💙 I would 100% recommend and would use Robert again!”
“After our initial meet up and introduction with Amanda, we felt that Amanda was definitely very well experienced in looking after dogs, so we were very happy to leave Runa in her care. Amanda looked after Runa overnight, and sent a few pictures and let us know that Runa was happy and contented in her care and had enjoyed her walk. When we collected Runa the next day, she had had a great time and wanted to stay longer!!! We thoroughly recommend Amanda to look after your dogs with no hesitation at all, she is amazing.”
“I left a domino for the first time he had been left outside of family this weekend and it was a really positive experience for both of us. Domino had a great time and was even a bit reluctant to leave his new friends. I would not hesitate to use Martin again or recommend him to others.he obviously adores dogs and has good knowledge in how to care for them.”

“Jenny is a lovely, warm person and her Pug, Honey, is an adorable dog. Together, they made a perfect team to look after our Lhasapoo, Lola. We received photos and updates on Lola during her stay and she clearly had a fun time and was well looked after. There was a secure, enclosed garden for her to play in with Honey. Jenny obviously has a lot of experience looking after dogs and we felt completely confident leaving Lola to her care. We have no hesitation in recommending Jenny to anyone who wants the best of care for their dog and we will be making another booking in the future. Thank you, Jenny and Honey, :)”

“Megan was absolutely wonderful with BoBo! Our miniature Dachshund can be quite a nervous soul in new places, but Megan’s patient approach meant he settled in no time. She followed every instruction perfectly and the frequent photo updates were such a lovely touch that kept us totally stress-free. We picked up a very happy pup and will definitely be booking Megan again!”

“Charlotte was brilliant and so wonderful with Rusty, it was the first time we have left him and had someone come in to see him and let him out. Even though he was a little nervous Charlotte communicated with me straight away and encouraged him gently out into the garden for a wee and a play. Charlotte communicated with me the whole time she was with Rusty and really reassured me that he was okay! Thank you for being so lovely and brilliant with Rusty”
“Tania was a wonderful cat sitter for us whilst we went away, she came in at short notice, did everything we asked, did her best to bond with our 2 cats despite them being very shy around new people. The daily updates were perfect & put us at ease as we had never used a service like this before. Cannot recommend Tania enough :)”
About: I have owned cats my whole life! I am cat obsessed and own 2 cow cats myself. I have had experience of working with long hair and short haired breeds as I have regularly taken care of my mums ragdoll cat who requires lots of brushing and walks in a pet stroller (he’s very spoilt).
About: I’m a fun, caring animal lover who just wants the best for all animals! I currently volunteer at the Blue Cross and I’ve previously run a kennels & cattery so am confident with dogs and cats of all shapes, sizes and breeds. I’ve also worked for 2 zoos - one a mobile zoo with smaller animals such as reptiles and meerkats and the other a large zoo with everything from penguins to zebras so I’m used to a whole host of animal traits and characters, as well as meeting their needs. My work is very flexible and I work from home most of the time - if I do need to go out I often take the dog/s staying with me along, so they can enjoy a walk somewhere new at the same time🙂 My approach to looking after your pets? With love! Having had my own dogs since I was a child and more recently lost my elderly Mastiff cross Bordeaux, I know what it’s like as an owner to leave your pet with someone else. I therefore aim to make both you and your pet as comfortable as can be while you’re away and am very flexible to meets yours and their needs.
About: Personal experience of having had two cats, and in 2022 I was adopted by a stray cat, and due to a mix up with microchip details Scratch stayed with me until her owner was located. Recently I had the privilege of look after 22 year old Charlie - I think he looked after me and I simply observed.
About: I have had a cat almost every year of my life since being born. They hold a very special place in my heart. I have taken care of both my own cats as well as friends and family pets for up to two weeks at a time. I love to play, pet and care for all types of cats. Have volunteered with SPCA.
About: I’ve had cats since I was young and have always felt drawn to them. They are wonderful creatures and each and every one of them has such a unique personality. Rest assured when I’m caring for your cat they will be treated like the royalty each of them believe themselves to be. Cats can become very attached to a single person and dislike anyone else. It takes time to build that trust and I won’t push your cats boundaries. Im a very patient person and love to earn the connection with a cat. While you’re away your cat will be treated like family and I’ll make sure that they are happy and that you’re also happy with daily updates and photos. If your cat likes to play then we will get some toys and play, or maybe your cat just likes to have company and wants some pets. Whatever your cats requires I’m here to accommodate. Just let me know what your cat requires and it will be done. I look forward to hearing from you -Ben
About: I’ve been caring for and feeding cats for years, and it’s something I genuinely love. I’m experienced with cats of all personalities, from playful and social to shy or more independent, and I always take the time to earn their trust. I know how important it is for cats to feel safe in their own home, so I stick closely to their usual routine and give them plenty of attention, patience, and gentle care. Whether it’s feeding, playtime, or just quiet company, I make sure each cat feels comfortable and cared for. I’m reliable, calm, and detail-oriented, and I’ll always keep you updated with messages and photos so you can relax knowing your cat is in safe hands.
“Bethany was the best sitter! She sent us so many cute photos showing how happy our kittens were with her. We felt very comfortable knowing she was taking care of them, and we’d happily rebook!”
“Both Tiggy & Ella absolutely love Lucia. They warmed to her instantly. I feel so happy and at peace to know my cats can remain at home in their daily routine and environment which has allowed me to have more freedom and not stress whilst I am away on weekend trips. ”
“Would highly recommend Maddie, she looked after our two elderly cats in our home, both who are medicated. Maddie was reliable and communicated throughout the process of meeting & whilst looking after our boys, she sent photos and videos whilst we were away & the boys seemed content when we got home. Thanks Maddie for caring for them. x”
About: When I was 14, one of the two kittens that was brought back home was very sickly and not accepting solid food. By syringe feeding her, I brought Toulouse back to full strength, and she is still going strong till this day.

About: Molly’s Dachshund Club offers specialist home-from-home day care and overnight stays created exclusively for dachshunds. This is not generic dog boarding, it is breed-specific care designed around the unique needs, quirks and wellbeing of little sausage dogs. We are fully licensed, fully insured, trained in canine first aid, and operate to professional standards with documented care procedures, emergency protocols and welfare-focused policies in place, so you can feel confident your dog is in safe, capable hands. Dachshunds are not just the breed we care for, they are the breed we specialise in. I run Molly Walks Club, a free dachshund walking community, and host The Dachshund Clinic podcast, where I share insights around dachshund health, behaviour and wellbeing. My background in behavioural training means I understand how to work with nervous, excitable, stubborn, sensitive and strong-willed dachshunds in a calm, confident and supportive way. Because I run my businesses from home, your dog is never left in a busy kennel environment or with minimal supervision. They enjoy constant companionship, structured care and a calm, cosy home environment designed with dachshunds in mind, including ramps for little legs, quiet rest spaces and plenty of comfort. Our resident dachshund, Molly, is the self-appointed CEO of the household and an excellent hostess. She is incredibly social and particularly brilliant at helping nervous or unsure dogs settle in, often gently guiding them into the pack and helping them feel safe. Every stay includes tailored countryside walks designed for dachshunds. We focus on safe exploration, enrichment, confidence building and appropriate exercise rather than exhausting long-distance walks. Quiet woodland trails, countryside routes and plenty of sniffing opportunities are all part of the experience. Animals have always been part of my life, with over thirty years of hands-on experience caring for pets. I volunteered at a veterinary practice when I was young for six years, giving me additional practical grounding in animal care and welfare. For dachshunds with IVDD or additional support needs, I also offer respite care where appropriate. If your dog needs extra care, just let me know so we can make sure the right support is in place. Safe care. Specialist understanding. Happy dachshunds. Peace of mind for owners. 🐾 Key Business Details 4-Star Council Licensed Home Boarding & Day Care Fully Insured Canine First Aid Qualified I work from home and my own dachshund, Molly, is the centre of my world. My day is already structured around her needs, so caring for other daxies simply becomes part of that same rhythm. Mornings usually start with breakfast and a 30-min walk where the little legs can explore, sniff and move at a relaxed pace. The rest of the day is a mix of companionship, playtime, enrichment, naps and garden breaks, with the dogs always nearby while I work. Because I am home throughout the day, the dogs are never left alone and get plenty of attention, reassurance and supervision. The routine is calm and predictable, which dachshunds tend to respond to really well. Late afternoons and evenings are relaxed with a longer walk, usually at a woodlands, and garden time, followed by cosy downtime in the house. It is very much a home environment where dogs are treated like part of the family rather than being kept in a kennel style setting. Dogs staying with me are cared for as part of the household. They stay inside the home with plenty of cosy spaces to rest, relax and feel safe, and I keep the number of dogs small so everyone gets proper attention and supervision. Because I work from home, the dogs are not left alone and are always nearby throughout the day. I pay close attention to each dog's temperament, energy level and comfort so they settle in at their own pace. Some dachshunds are confident straight away, while others need a little more time, and that is completely fine. My own dachshund Molly plays a big role in helping visiting dogs feel comfortable. She is very social and particularly good with nervous dogs, often helping them settle into the pack naturally. Walks are done in quiet woodland or countryside areas where the environment is calm and safe for dachshunds. I always prioritise slow paced walks suitable for little legs and make sure dogs are secure and supervised at all times. We will work up to off-lead walks, and I will keep your babies on-lead until we are both comfortable with being off-lead. Once they are off lead, they naturally move in a pack, which means that they stick together. Molly's recall is great, so if I need them back close to me, they will all come together. Having grown up with animals and spent time volunteering in a veterinary clinic when I was younger, I am also comfortable recognising when a dog may be stressed, uncomfortable or unwell. I have a good understanding of basic dog first aid and always prioritise the wellbeing, safety and happiness of every dog in my care.
“Charlotte looked after my nervous boy Ozzy, I couldn’t have been happier with how he was looked after. Charlotte made sure he had plenty of toilet breaks and play time. Ozzy settled eventually and I couldn’t be more grateful for how he was looked after. Thankyou Charlotte ❤️”

About: I provide calm, reliable pet care with a strong focus on routine, gentle handling and individual attention. I’ve owned pets all my life and trained as a groomer, giving me confidence handling both dogs and cats and an understanding of their different needs. My approach is patient and safety-led, helping pets feel settled and cared for in familiar surroundings. I’m fully insured, DBS checked and pet first aid trained, and I’m always happy to arrange a meet & greet before booking. Pet care is my full-time daily routine. I run my licensed dog day care and walking service from our private countryside home, so my days are fully structured around the dogs in my care. Each day includes countryside walks, enrichment, play and calm rest periods, with dogs enjoying a consistent and supervised environment throughout the day. I keep numbers small to ensure every dog receives individual attention, companionship and a relaxed home-from-home experience. Dogs cared for in my home enjoy a calm, structured and fully supervised environment. I care for a small number of compatible dogs at a time to ensure a safe and relaxed experience for everyone. Dogs have access to a secure outdoor area for toileting and fresh air, with walks and exercise provided throughout the day. Depending on each dog’s needs and owner preference, exercise takes place on-lead or in suitable safe locations to ensure comfort and safety at all times. Indoors, dogs have comfortable rest areas, enrichment activities and plenty of individual attention as part of a home-from-home routine. When caring for pets in an owner’s home, I closely follow their established routines to maintain familiarity and minimise stress, ensuring feeding, exercise and companionship are provided exactly as requested.
“Just a brilliant experience from start to finish. Such a great household and family, Benji clearly had a fantastic time, Buddy (Simon's dog) is brilliant. Benji was very happy, such a professional experience, sent us photos throughout the day, just exceeded expectations completely and absolutely going back again! Thank you so much!”
“It was obvious Miguel had an amazing time with Becky from the way he has been so chill coming home but also the way he was leaning against her and wanting a fuss when we were leaving! Becky was excellent at communicating on Miguel and we felt totally at ease to leave him to have a doggy daycare. Thanks so much again Becky and we will all look forward to seeing you again 🥰”

“Monty had clearly had a lovely day with Mark and the other dog that Mark was sitting for that day. Mark sent lots of photos and updates and let me know how he was getting on. Monty is highly food motivated and an accomplished thief which Mark managed well. Monty looked very relaxed and was quite happy to settle back in the other dog's bed when I arrived to take him home.”

About: I have grown up surrounded by animals - from little hamsters and bunnies to all sorts of dogs! I've got lots of experience around different sized dogs so understand their temperaments, behaviour and overall fun nature. I absolutely love dogs and taking them for woodland adventures around our home. I have a baby at home too who absolutely loves meeting new furry faces! I am relied on to look after family and friend dogs, to keep them well fed and entertained, often exhausted by the time they return home! I'm currently on maternity leave and when I return to work I will be working from home so will be highly available for both weekdays and weekends! I'm currently on maternity leave, so I have plenty of time to cater to and play with your dog! Myself and my partner take our baby out on daily walks and like to switch up the locations to give her good stimulation - these include going to fields, parks, forests and river walks - so why not have your little furry friend come along and enjoy the fun? Being on maternity leave with the ability to work from home on my return enables me to be quite available and flexible with my time. I own a 3-bedroom/3-story house with a fenced garden, so there is ample space for your little fur ball to run around and explore! Having a baby at home ensures that everything is kept clean and tidy, so your dog will have enough space for all their kit!

“Toni was excellent - She took time out to meet Casper ahead of the session so he would be familiar with her and he instantly fell in love. Toni made sure they understood any habits or needs Casper had prior to the walk and updated us with some lovely pup photos of the smiley boy. Would recommend wholeheartedly”
“Charlotte was brilliant with Rusty again, great communication and fab pictures! He always looks like he’s having a great time and Charlotte keeps me up to date and reassured that he is okay whenever she is with him. Thank you!”

I am comfortable with any size dog. I have a certificate in Dog First Aid and Cat Aid. I work full time WFH so am around all day on weekdays! I have one hour of lunch breaks for walkies and am not glued to my desk 24/7, so this leaves me with lots of time for pet snuggles and playtime. I have enough patio room for dog zoomies! I’m happy for pets to sit on ends of bed or furniture (I have covered these surfaces). I do not have crates available but can discuss this. I can do 45mins-1 hour walks once per day, with shorter walks throughout and plenty of garden time. I love dog snuggles so there’ll be plenty of that!

About: I’m a fun, caring animal lover who just wants the best for all animals! I currently volunteer at the Blue Cross and I’ve previously run a kennels & cattery so am confident with dogs and cats of all shapes, sizes and breeds. I’ve also worked for 2 zoos - one a mobile zoo with smaller animals such as reptiles and meerkats and the other a large zoo with everything from penguins to zebras so I’m used to a whole host of animal traits and characters, as well as meeting their needs. My work is very flexible and I work from home most of the time - if I do need to go out I often take the dog/s staying with me along, so they can enjoy a walk somewhere new at the same time🙂 My approach to looking after your pets? With love! Having had my own dogs since I was a child and more recently lost my elderly Mastiff cross Bordeaux, I know what it’s like as an owner to leave your pet with someone else. I therefore aim to make both you and your pet as comfortable as can be while you’re away and am very flexible to meets yours and their needs.
“Jasmine is reliable, helpful and importantly attentive to my pooches needs. William is well looked after on his walks. Having a walker is a new thing for us and I could not recommend anyone more. Thanks Jasmine!”
About: I have years of experience looking after pets of friends, my own, and through word of mouth I have house sat for many others. I have looked after and helped train dogs of varying ages including those with challenging behaviour. I have developed a good understanding of canine behaviour in this time and I ensure every dog in my care receives the attention, patience, and love they deserve. I love all animals whether they are furry, feathered, or scaly, and I understand they all come with their own unique personalities and needs. I will ensure your pet feels safe and loved in my care. *I am also DBS cleared and have my Canine First Aid certificate, for extra peace of mind.* I work just three days a week for a couple of hours cleaning, which means your dog will never be left alone for long periods. Outside of that, pet care is my main focus, so I’m able to provide plenty of time, attention, and companionship throughout the day. This allows me to maintain a flexible schedule and ensure your dog feels comfortable, cared for while you’re away. I have a large, fenced in garden, with a forest that lies out back. Perfect for little or large adventures. We have one other dog that has use of the garden but does not share the same living space. I can keep the dogs separate if needed or if your pup likes company I’m sure they will love our little girl.

About: I’m an experienced in-your-home pet and house-sitter (day and night) - which I enjoy and love to do at the same time! Read on to find out more about me and see if I’m a good match for you :) I’ve been lucky to have pets to love and care for all my life and having a pet is something I really miss (I can't have a pet of my own due to where I live). After taking early retirement I'm just not ready to slow down and this means I have loads of time and love to give to your pets! I find the love and affection from animals so rewarding which is why in the absence of my own I decided to become a pet-sitter - starting out with sitting for friends and family and expanding from there. I've always had dogs - and many other pets along the way like cats, rabbits, hamsters, budgies and lots of tropical fish! Two of my most beloved dogs were rescues. I've had Corgis, German Shepherds, Labradors and mixed breeds. I now have a delightful - and cheeky - Mini Dachshund “grand-pup”! I’ve cared for many dog breeds (Springers, Cockers, Lurchers, Bichon Frise, Mini Poodles, Chihuahuas, Yorkshire Terriers, Collies, Podencos, Dachshunds and more!) and many with different needs - young, old, small, large, cross-breed, rescue, pedigree and those with medical conditions and special and / or senior needs. I’ve also looked after many cats (indoor and outdoor) and other pets. I’d love you to check out my photo gallery of my own precious pets and those that I’ve cared for. I have no work commitments but I do the occasional craft fair and enjoy visiting friends and family. I have lots of availability throughout the whole week. I offer pet sitting for the day, evenings and overnight. I’m an in-your-home pet-sitter, I will travel to you and look after your pet in your home - and also look after your home at the same time. I can ensure your dog gets lots of stimulation and movement within your home space and garden. I will never leave your dog alone in your home unless you specify that this is OK and normal for them. I know how hard it can be to trust someone with your beloved pet and know very well how special and very unique the needs of pets can be - I want to reassure you there is no silly request or need I won’t understand. With lots of house-sitting under my belt, I pride myself in how I treat other’s homes and precious things like their pets and home security. I am happy to spend time introducing myself and getting to know you and your pets and to travel to you. I am flexible to your needs and how you like communication to be - happy to follow all guidelines and requirements for your pets and home and to send you updates and photos as regularly as you’d like. "Qualifications and Checks" - Clear and recent DBS check (can be provided upon request). - Personal insurance cover above Rover’s insurance provision (can be provided upon request). - Currently obtaining Canine First Aid Certified and Comprehensive. - Personal references can be provided.

“Absolutely wonderful and friendly family that we have used several times to look ok after our dog whilst away. Our dog "Rambo" always seems to have had a great time. We were provided regular photos and updates throughout our time away. Would 100% recommend. No complaints at all.”
“Robert and his family looked after my Labrador at very short notice. He was friendly, flexible, great at replying and also brilliant at sending update photos and videos. My dog was well loved and walked twice in 24 hours. More than he gets at home! My boy came home happy 💙 I would 100% recommend and would use Robert again!”
“After our initial meet up and introduction with Amanda, we felt that Amanda was definitely very well experienced in looking after dogs, so we were very happy to leave Runa in her care. Amanda looked after Runa overnight, and sent a few pictures and let us know that Runa was happy and contented in her care and had enjoyed her walk. When we collected Runa the next day, she had had a great time and wanted to stay longer!!! We thoroughly recommend Amanda to look after your dogs with no hesitation at all, she is amazing.”

About: Dogs have always been a big part of my life. I grew up with family dogs and was lucky enough to own a lovely Spaniel myself, so I understand just how much our pets mean to us. I also have spent eight years working alongside working dogs in the Civil Service, which gave me great experience around dogs with different personalities, needs, and routines. Above all, I genuinely love animals and enjoy spending time with them. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, cuddles on the sofa, or simply having company throughout the day, I’ll make sure they feel happy, safe, and well cared for while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I work Monday to Friday and have the flexibility of working from home on certain days. However, when I agree to look after your dog, I will ensure that I am not working so that I can give them the time, attention, and care they deserve. I enjoy being active and love going on long walks, so your dog will have plenty of opportunities for exercise, enrichment, and outdoor adventures. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I have a secure, fenced garden where dogs can safely enjoy time outdoors, and I live just a 5-minute walk from a large open playing field, perfect for walks, exercise, and playtime. I take great pride in caring not only for dogs but also in maintaining a clean, safe, and welcoming home environment.
“Patricia took such good care of my dog, Lila. She stayed with her for two nights and everything went really well. Patricia was so kind and attentive, and she kept me updated with photos and videos, which gave me a lot of peace of mind Thank you Patricia :)”
About: I have grown up surrounded by animals - from little hamsters and bunnies to all sorts of dogs! I've got lots of experience around different sized dogs so understand their temperaments, behaviour and overall fun nature. I absolutely love dogs and taking them for woodland adventures around our home. I have a baby at home too who absolutely loves meeting new furry faces! I am relied on to look after family and friend dogs, to keep them well fed and entertained, often exhausted by the time they return home! I'm currently on maternity leave and when I return to work I will be working from home so will be highly available for both weekdays and weekends! I'm currently on maternity leave, so I have plenty of time to cater to and play with your dog! Myself and my partner take our baby out on daily walks and like to switch up the locations to give her good stimulation - these include going to fields, parks, forests and river walks - so why not have your little furry friend come along and enjoy the fun? Being on maternity leave with the ability to work from home on my return enables me to be quite available and flexible with my time. I own a 3-bedroom/3-story house with a fenced garden, so there is ample space for your little fur ball to run around and explore! Having a baby at home ensures that everything is kept clean and tidy, so your dog will have enough space for all their kit!
“Gitana & her lovely family are great dog sitters, They have lots of experience & are really good for Ernie & play with him also Gitana is good at keeping in contact & sending photos.”
About: Hello, I’m Katie, and I understand how important it is to find the right person to care for your dog, so you can have real peace of mind while you’re away. I’ve grown up with dogs and currently have two of my own, a chocolate Labrador and a Border Terrier, so I’m very used to different personalities and needs. My Border Terrier can be anxious in unfamiliar environments, which has given me a good understanding of how to support dogs who need a bit more patience and reassurance. I’ve also cared for dogs for friends and family, including day care and holiday stays, and I’m comfortable supporting dogs with additional needs such as medication or minor care. My days follow a calm, consistent routine that balances activity and rest. Dogs in my care are included alongside my own, with regular outdoor time, play and countryside walks suited to their energy levels. There’s always time to relax as well, so dogs can settle into a comfortable, low-stress environment. I adapt the day to suit each dog, whether they prefer to be active and social or enjoy a quieter pace. Care is provided exclusively in my home, creating a safe, calm and personalised “home-from-home” environment. Dogs will have access to both the family space as well as a dedicated annex for cosy comfort, rest and quiet time, along with about 2 acres of fully secure outdoor lawn and woodland space for safe roaming, play and exploration. For everyone’s safety, I require a meet-and-greet in advance to ensure dogs are happy in the environment and get along well with my two dogs. I’m only able to accept dogs that are friendly and well socialised, and am happy to accommodate exclusive bookings upon request. I can also provide regular updates and photos, so you can feel confident your dog is happy, settled and well cared for.
