Emilia was friendly and chatty and we were happy to go on holiday knowing he was getting his walks as he is such an energetic boy. Emilia also altered walk timings due to the hot weather which was great.😊

About: I have always grown up with animals in the house, particularly dogs. They're a part of the family. I qualified as a veterinary surgeon in 1997 and currently work as a veterinary acupuncturist. I worked in small animal practice for many years so animals and in particular dogs have, and always will be a very big part of me and my life. Due to family commitments I am unable to commit to the responsibility of a dog full time right now but I have lots of free time every day to care for your pet and enjoy walking in any weather. There are many varied walks available nearby from grassland to woods to beaches. Every pet that stays or visits will benefit from enrichment to their environment which includes scatter feeding, lickimats and sniff-aris (to name a few!) I can provide a variety of services depending on your needs - dog boarding, doggy day care, dog walking and drop in visits. I also provide care for cats and small furries. New owner/pet bookings will benefit from £15 off their first booking by clicking on this direct profile link https://www.rover.com/sit/kirsth40895 and entering the promotional code KIRSTH40895. I look forward to meeting you and your pets :) I currently work part time and have plenty of free time to offer professional individually tailored care for your pets. I offer small animal boarding, small animal daycare and dog walking on a daily basis, 7 days a week. I am available to house sit and care for your small animal/s but I am limited to weekends unless by prior arrangement. I am a qualified veterinary surgeon so your pet will be in very safe hands. During your small animal's visit or stay they become part of my family and will be treated as such.

About: Are you looking for someone who will treat your pet like family? My name’s Shreyas, and I’m a lifelong animal lover with years of experience caring for dogs, cats, birds, and fish. I have two dogs, Teddy, a Shih Tzu I’ve raised since he was a puppy, and Tumbler, a rescue I nursed back to health. I’ve also rescued kittens, ensuring they were loved and cared for until they found their forever homes. I offer personalised pet care, including feeding, walking, playtime, grooming, and administering medication if needed. I can also provide overnight stays or extended care while you’re away. My goal is to keep your pet happy, comfortable, and well-loved, no matter their needs. Animals naturally warm to me, and I’m passionate about making them feel safe and cared for. If you’re looking for a dependable, friendly, and experienced pet carer, I’d love to hear from you. Let’s chat about how I can help your furry, feathery, or finned friend thrive! Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine as I’m already caring for my own pets. I’m highly organised and flexible, making it easy to fit in additional responsibilities. I can adapt to your pet's schedule, whether it’s daily walks, feeding times, or play sessions. My priority is ensuring consistency and comfort for your pets, so I’ll always work around what suits them best. In my home, pets are treated like family. I create a safe, calm, and clean environment where they feel loved and secure. I ensure they have plenty of space to relax and play, with close supervision at all times. When caring for pets in their own home, I follow the owner’s instructions closely to maintain their routine and comfort. I’m attentive, reliable, and always ensure the environment is safe, clean, and welcoming, so both you and your pets can trust they’re in good hands.

About: I have been a dog owner for over 20 years. Mainly spaniels, max 2 at a time. Can walk sit or board like minded dogs. Archie my show cocker spaniel likes to meet new friends. Mainly kept on a lead, unless otherwise told. Treats only when earned after walk or at a heal when called back. Hope this helps. Ask if need more reassurance, happy to comply with whatever owner wishes. I,m now 3 months in to my new life in the Southwest country and loving every minute. Plenty of walking areas for small to large dogs. House and garden routine is settling in and working smoothly, but not set in stone. Remaining flexible for the Occupants ha. Daily walks, checks everything is working routine wise. Weekly inspection of teeth for anything that shouldn't be there. Checking of legs, feet and body for any bumps that shouldn't be there either.. I have a fenced off large garden in two parts for keeping dogs apart if need be. Area is open and free for a good stretch in the mornings if dogs don't want to walk quite yet ha. The area is cleaned daily and waste disposed of correctly.

About: I've had dogs all my life from childhood. We have a delightful 2 year old Cockerdor who loves other dogs for play time! I work full time in the NHS so will only be taking bookings on my days off to ensure your pet gets my full attention and care. They will not be left alone during boarding. Your pet will enjoy long forest and beach walks, a couch to lie on and a bed to sleep in if they prefer. I work full time for the NHS so will only be available for boarding on weekends when I am not working, or week days where I have a long stretch off. I can accommodate dog walking and drop ins on my days off. I have a fully fenced garden, one playful pup and two cats, dogs will need to be cat friendly. Your pet will be treated like one of our own.

I am an overprotective bouncy spaniel mummy and as such I am loathed to trust just anyone with Jasper's care. Kirsty provides Jasper with a loving home from home which he loves , she also caters for his boundless energy and love of many, many walks. Kirsty makes Jasper's care and security as a priority, therefore making me feel relaxed leaving him in her care. We rate her service so highly that we travel from our home near Edinburgh to leave him with her. Happy doggy = happy doggy mummy = relaxed holiday Job done xx

Shreyas is a natural with animals. I've seen him care for his dogs, Teddy and Tumbler, like family. He has rescued and rehabilitated puppies and kittens, finding them loving homes. From birds to fish, his dedication is unmatched. Animals are naturally drawn to him, and he even spends time playing with dogs at the park. Shreyas is a kind, compassionate, and experienced caregiver. Highly recommend!
