“Couldn't give anything but 5 stars. Gabriella was amazing throughout. It was our first time leaving our pup so we were extremely nervous but Gabriella put us at ease with her updates and photos! book again in the future!100% would”
“Siu Yung and her family were absolutely wonderful with Orbit. We had a pre visit beforehand and I knew instantly that she would be well cared for. We were kept so well updated throughout her stay with messages, photos, and little details about walks, meals, and how she was settling in. It genuinely felt like Orbit was part of their family rather than just being looked after. She had lovely walks, lots of attention, and a calm, caring home environment. We came back to a happy, relaxed dog, which says everything. I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to book with Siu Yung again and would highly recommend them for anyone looking for home Boarding!”
“Thank you very much Kim for looking after Leo again! Very flexible and accommodating with times and days Plenty of photos and kept us updated the whole time! Highly recommend”
“Owen and his family are wonderful sitters. My dog Ralph has a wonderful time with them, and Owen keeps me updated with photos, videos and messages about how he's getting on. I'm very grateful that he always makes Ralph feel like one of the family, and gives him plenty of time to play, but plenty of time to relax as well. Thank you Owen!”

“I booked a last minute boarding request with Indy for three days for my large dog. 5 stars doesn’t even cut it! My dog is a rescue and can be nervous at times, but she loved every second. Even though the request was last minute, Indy still accommodated a meet before booking anything, which went well. Layla was so very well looked after and cared for by the family, I had constant updates via text with pictures and videos, she was having the best time. I couldn’t recommend Indy enough, I’ll absolutely be rebooking when the time comes that Layla needs boarding/ dog sitting again”

Thank you so much Monica for taking such great care of Tia!”

“I cannot recommend Alix enough! She took such amazing care of my dog, Roux, and went above and beyond in every way. Roux had an absolute blast with her. Alix made sure she had plenty of regular walks, playtime, and even taught her some new tricks, which was such a lovely surprise. What I appreciated most was how attentive and thoughtful Alix was in keeping me updated. She sent me regular pictures and detailed updates about Roux’s eating and potty habits, which gave me total peace of mind while I was away. It’s clear that she genuinely loves and cares for the dogs she looks after, and Roux came home happy, healthy, and well-exercised. I feel so lucky to have found such a reliable and caring sitter. Thank you, Alix!”
“Our Shih tzu Willow settled in very nicely with sisters Nicola and Kerry and their mum. I was sent messages and photos throughout the whole weekend which was so reassuring. They really looked after Willow, took her for long walks over the park and gave her plenty of cuddles. They also have a very large garden for Willow to run around in. I would definitely recommend this family to pet-sit your dog 🐶”

“Metti did a wonderful job of looking after our 2 kitties Moomin and Goma. They seemed relaxed and happy after we are back home and she sent regular photos and updates during the whole sit too! Definitely recommend :)”
“We had a great experience with Zahra. She took excellent care of Momo, followed all her routines, and sent regular updates with pictures that gave us real peace of mind. Momo quickly got used to her, which says a lot as she's usually a little shy at first. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring cat sitter.”
“I can't recommend Louise highly enough. It was my first time using Rover and leaving my cat with someone I didn't know so I felt a bit anxious but Louise put me completely at ease from the very beginning. She was friendly, professional and clearly very experienced with cats and I felt confident that my cat was in safe hands. Throughout the time I was away she was very communicative, sending regular updates and photos, which made such a difference and really helped me relax. I came home to a happy, well-looked-after cat, and I wouldn't hesitate to book her again. Thank you so much!”
“I can’t recommend Sara-Jane highly enough! Excellent communication throughout, she was brilliant with our cat (who loved her) and was always on time for the agreed visits. Don’t hesitate to book Sara-Jane if you want a lovely & 100% reliable cat sitter.”
About: I am currently a Uni student that loves animals, while I would love to have some, unfortunately I can't, as I am currently living in accommodation, to get around that I decided to try and find some to take care of! :) I have had a few pets ever since I was little, from hamsters, tortoises, birds, dogs and so on. I have taken care of quite a few pets, such as cats, dogs, birds, etc, mostly of these pets were dogs as I am more familiar with dogs and they are my favourite animal. I try my best to spoil the pets, by buying them toys, their favourite snacks and so on. I can do weekends, just contact me to arrange the times as I am usually working. Rest assured that you'll leave your pets in safe hands. I am currently working part time and studying full time, therefore I might need to check my calendar before confirming any bookings, but I am always willing to walking/taking care of your pet(s). Apologies for that! I have experience with many dogs, small, medium and big. I will always make sure that the needs of your pet(s) are fulfilled as well as ensuring a safe environment for them to play/roam around.
About: I've been around cats for as long as I can remember and have experience taking care of three cats of my neighbours since I was 16, I'm now 20 and have two fur babies who I have the privilege of taking care of myself and calling my own (one boy who's a menace and one girl who's the sweetest muffin ever). I take pride in making sure my cats are well looked after by: Brushing their teeth, cleaning their litter boxes daily, staying on top of their health via taking them to the vets, administering oral and topical medications (such as flea/tapeworm medication), keeping their pretty faces clean using pet safe wipes, grooming them by brushing often, applying moisturising ointment to their toe beans and paw pads to make sure they are healthy and doing my best to feed them the best food available with the highest meat content whilst also giving them supplements like salmon oil and PlaqueOff powder to help keep their coats shiny and their gums healthy. I am going into my third year of my Masters in Pharmacy at King's but taking care of cat's is my passion and my dream is to be able to establish a cat shelter in the future as I believe all cats deserve a home. My background in healthcare (and my love for my little babies) is what makes me want to do my best to make them happy and healthy). The effort I put in for my cats is no different to the effort I'll put in for your's as I truly believe all animals are deserving of love and care, even if they don't seem to want it sometimes as my boy cat Nimki never fails to remind me. I'm a quick learner and am enthusiastic about doing my utmost for cats, I've spent a lot of time learning about cat behaviour and health and will take care of your cat with the same love and care that I have for mine.

“Luna spent the day with Diana and she had a fantastic stay. I picked Luna up happy she was well exercised and I was kept up to date with lots of pictures throughout the day and she made another furry friend. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for dog sitting.”
“Thiv has taken very good care of Hazel. She took Hazel on walks, played ball with her and brought her to meet other doggo friends. Hazel was so happy to see her again, she sprinted into her flat without turning back to look at us. She loves Thiv so much, she follows Thiv around all day. I’d highly recommend her.”
“I can't say enough great things about Sayo! He was incredibly accommodating on short notice and even agreed to look after Snoopy for a longer period. Snoopy is still a puppy and hadn't quite figured out how to navigate stairs, but Sayo taught him to go up and down with ease. During his stay, Snoopy made a wonderful friend in Cassie, who is so gentle and sweet. When I picked Snoopy up, he was still happily playing with her! Sayo kept me updated with pictures and videos throughout the day, which was really reassuring. He gave Snoopy so much attention and care. Snoopy had an absolutely fantastic day, and I couldn't be more grateful!”

About: I'm an active, outdoorsy person who genuinely loves being around dogs. I take your dog's exercise seriously: proper walks, real time outside, and plenty of stimulation. My hands-on experience comes from regularly walking and caring for two very different dogs — a Staffordshire Bulldog and a French Bulldog. I’m currently working from home with good flexibility. I can work around the schedule for helping out. Weekends should be free in the day too. My flat is a cosy, well-kept one-bedroom on an upper floor — no balcony or outdoor space, but we’re just a 5-minute walk from a park, so dogs get outside plenty. There are a few flights of stairs to get up to the flat, which is worth knowing for smaller or older dogs.
About: I’ve always had a love for dogs and plenty of hands-on experience caring for them. A few years ago, I spent a couple of years dog sitting, looking after dogs of different breeds, sizes, and personalities, which helped me build confidence and understanding in their individual needs. Alongside this, I’ve had family dogs for over 12 years, so caring for dogs has always been a big part of my everyday life. From feeding routines and walks to playtime, companionship, and understanding their behaviour, I’m experienced in providing a safe, loving, and reliable environment for every dog in my care. At Lisa’s Dog Care, I treat every dog as if they were my own, making sure they feel comfortable, happy, and truly at home. Lisa’s Dog Care is my full-time commitment, allowing me to provide dedicated, hands-on care throughout the entire day. My routine is fully centred around the dogs in my care, ensuring they receive constant attention, supervision, and companionship. Each day begins with morning routines including feeding, walks, and playtime, setting a calm and happy tone. Throughout the day, I am always present, providing one-to-one attention, regular exercise, and plenty of interaction, adapting to each dog’s individual needs and routine. Afternoons and evenings continue with walks, feeding, and relaxation time, making sure every dog feels comfortable and settled. For overnight stays, I am on hand at all times to ensure dogs feel safe, secure, and truly at home. As this is my full-time role, dogs are never left unattended, and their wellbeing, happiness, and safety are always my top priority. Your dog’s safety and wellbeing are my top priorities at Lisa’s Dog Care. I provide a secure, fully fenced garden where dogs can play, explore, and enjoy fresh air safely at all times. Inside, dogs are cared for in a calm, home-from-home setting where they can relax and feel comfortable. I carefully manage introductions and interactions to ensure all dogs get along happily. I also have my friendly Chow Chow, BooBooBear, who loves the company of other dogs and helps create a welcoming, social environment for your fur baby. Whether your dog enjoys playtime or prefers a quieter companion, I make sure every dog feels safe, settled, and cared for like part of the family.
About: I've grown up around dogs and they've always been a huge part of my life. We had a family dog throughout my childhood, and today I regularly care for my mum's three dogs whenever she's away, often for extended periods. This includes feeding, walking, playing, giving them lots of attention, and making sure they stick to their usual routines. I'm also the go-to dog walker for my aunties' dogs, Doris and Bolt, who I absolutely adore. Whether it's long walks, trips to the park, games of fetch or simply keeping them company, I genuinely love spending time with dogs and getting to know their individual personalities. I'd love a dog of my own, but with future travel plans, I've decided to wait until I can give one the lifelong commitment it deserves. In the meantime, Rover is the perfect way for me to spend time doing something I genuinely enjoy while giving other owners peace of mind that their dogs are in caring, responsible hands. I understand that every dog is different, so I'm happy to adapt to their routine, energy levels and any instructions you leave. Whether your dog loves adventures, long walks, cuddles on the sofa or simply needs someone patient and reliable, I'll make sure they're well cared for and treated like one of the family. I know how important it is to trust someone with a member of your family, so I'll always care for your dog as if they were my own. I'll also keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages so you can relax knowing they're having a great time. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine as I work from home full-time, which allows me to provide flexible, attentive care throughout the day. I can easily step away for regular walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and comfort breaks as needed. I usually take a lunchtime walk and spend most of my day at home, meaning pets are rarely left alone. I’m also available for overnight stays, drop-ins, and boarding, with evenings and weekends fully dedicated to care as well. Pets in my care are looked after in a calm, secure, and pet-friendly home environment. I live in a terrace house with a fully fenced garden, allowing safe outdoor access. Inside, I have non-carpeted floors for easy cleaning and sofa covers so pets are welcome to relax comfortably. I am comfortable with puppies and follow owner instructions closely, including routines and feeding. Pets are not left alone during bookings unless absolutely necessary, and never for more than around two hours unless agreed with the owner. I can support some medication needs depending on the type and instructions provided, always prioritising safety and trust.
About: I am a passionate and reliable dog lover with over six years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, breeds, and personalities. Throughout this time, I have looked after puppies requiring training and close supervision, energetic adult dogs needing regular exercise and stimulation, as well as senior dogs requiring patience, medication management, and specialised care. I understand that every dog has unique needs, and I take pride in providing attentive, compassionate, and personalised care to ensure they feel safe, happy, and comfortable while their owners are away. Whether it is daily walks, feeding, playtime, administering medication, or simply providing companionship, I always treat every dog as if they were my own. I am responsible, trustworthy, and committed to maintaining clear communication with owners, including regular updates and photos for peace of mind. My goal is to create a positive and stress-free experience for both pets and their families, ensuring each dog receives the love, attention, and care they deserve. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine as I currently have a very flexible schedule and am available throughout the day. This allows me to provide pets with plenty of attention, companionship, exercise, and supervision rather than leaving them alone for long periods. I am able to accommodate regular walks, feeding schedules, playtime, medication administration if required, and any specific routines that help pets feel comfortable and settled. My flexibility also means I can adapt to the individual needs of each pet, whether that involves multiple walks a day, extra companionship for anxious pets, or more active engagement for energetic dogs. Because I have the time to dedicate to pet care, I can ensure that every pet receives the attention, affection, and personalised care they deserve. When caring for pets, I always aim to maintain their normal routine as closely as possible to help them feel comfortable, secure, and happy. I take the time to understand each pet's individual needs, including feeding schedules, exercise requirements, medication, favourite activities, and any behavioural quirks or anxieties. In a pet owner's home, I ensure pets receive plenty of attention, companionship, playtime, and exercise while respecting the owner's instructions and maintaining a clean and tidy environment. I provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel reassured that their pets are happy and well cared for. When caring for pets in my own home, I provide a safe, clean, and welcoming environment where they are treated as part of the family. Pets receive regular walks, enrichment activities, affection, and supervision throughout the day. I pay close attention to their wellbeing and behaviour to ensure they remain comfortable and stress-free during their stay. Above all, I believe every pet deserves patience, kindness, and individualised care, and I treat each animal as if they were my own.

I have hands on experience with dealing with elderly and poorly cats of my own and also from previous volunteer work in vets and shelters. I am happy to look after other animals within the home as part of the visits (we also have a dog and chickens and have previously had reptiles, rodents, sheep and horses) as well as water plants, close/open curtains and blinds and generally make sure your place is ok in your absence.
About: Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them comes naturally to me. I’m currently a proud dog dad to a six year old French Bulldog who is full of personality, energy, cuddles, and hilarious zoomies. He genuinely believes the world revolves around him, and honestly, he’s probably right. From being my little shadow to my built-in doorbell making sure nothing goes unnoticed, the love and joy dogs bring is something I truly value every day. Before my Frenchie, I grew up with a German Shepherd in the family, so I’m very comfortable with both small and large breeds, different temperaments, and understanding each dog’s unique needs. Over the years, I’ve also looked after friends’ pets including Eurasiers, Chihuahuas, and cats, giving me hands on experience with a wide range of personalities and care routines. What sets me apart is the level of genuine care, patience, and attention I give every pet. Whether it’s daycare, overnight pet sitting, long walks, playtime, cuddles on the sofa, vet visits, administering medication, injections, or making sure anxious pets feel calm and safe while their owners are away, I’ve got it covered. I understand how important trust is when leaving your pet with someone else, because I’d want the exact same peace of mind for my own dog. My goal is always to make pets feel loved, comfortable, safe, and treated like family. I’m a freelance interior designer, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of free time between projects to give pets the attention, care, walks, and companionship they deserve. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine because I already structure my days around my own dog, Ted, my energetic and lovable French Bulldog. If I’m caring for your dog, don’t worry, Ted will be with my partner, so your pup will always get my full attention and dedicated care. I’m available most days of the week for pet sitting, daycare, and walks in the mornings, afternoons, or evenings. I especially prefer staying at your home when pet sitting, as I truly believe dogs feel safest and happiest in their familiar environment and routine. As a dog dad myself, whenever I travel abroad, I make sure Ted stays at home and has someone stay with him rather than moving him somewhere unfamiliar. Our little angels can already feel anxious when we’re away for long periods, so I believe keeping them comfortable in their own space helps reduce stress and gives both pets and owners peace of mind. When caring for pets in their own home, my priority is to follow the owner’s routine, rules, and preferences as closely as possible so your pet feels comfortable, safe, and settled while you’re away. Every dog is different, and I completely respect how each owner chooses to raise and care for their pet. Whether your dog is crate trained, allowed to freely roam, enjoys sofa cuddles, or has certain boundaries around furniture, balconies, or garden access. I will always follow your lead and instructions carefully. I’m also very mindful of each pet’s individual needs, including dietary requirements, allergies, medications, health conditions, exercise levels, and behaviour patterns. Safety is extremely important to me, so I always make sure hazardous items, unsafe foods, or small objects are kept out of reach, and that pets are supervised appropriately both indoors and outdoors. My goal is to maintain your pet’s normal routine as naturally as possible, giving them plenty of care, companionship, playtime, walks, and reassurance while giving you peace of mind knowing they’re in safe and caring hands.
“Anisha walked our dog Charlie while we went on holiday for 10 days and we couldn't be happier. She was punctual, professional, and great at communication—I always got a detailed update after every walk. It's a huge relief to know Anisha treats our pet like family and I'm happy to have found her. I will definitely book Anisha again. 5 stars fantastic.”
About: I have looked after family pets - dogs, cats, horses, a parrot & a rabbit for over 30 years but would love to help others as well. I love walking and am happy to take dogs for a long walk. I love cats as well, I would be happy to keep them company for a while, administer medication & feed them. I would also be happy to stay overnight if necessary. I have recently retired from my teaching job (food technology) so I'm now available day & night to care for your pets or to walk your dogs. I have a very safe bungalow, the garden is fenced securely in which I can look after your dogs and plenty of room inside if the weather is bad.
About: I am currently a Uni student that loves animals, while I would love to have some, unfortunately I can't, as I am currently living in accommodation, to get around that I decided to try and find some to take care of! :) I have had a few pets ever since I was little, from hamsters, tortoises, birds, dogs and so on. I have taken care of quite a few pets, such as cats, dogs, birds, etc, mostly of these pets were dogs as I am more familiar with dogs and they are my favourite animal. I try my best to spoil the pets, by buying them toys, their favourite snacks and so on. I can do weekends, just contact me to arrange the times as I am usually working. Rest assured that you'll leave your pets in safe hands. I am currently working part time and studying full time, therefore I might need to check my calendar before confirming any bookings, but I am always willing to walking/taking care of your pet(s). Apologies for that! I have experience with many dogs, small, medium and big. I will always make sure that the needs of your pet(s) are fulfilled as well as ensuring a safe environment for them to play/roam around.
“Kimberly was fantastic when walking Max. She communicated really well and was very reliable. Although Max was booked in for 30 min walks Kimberly made an effort to make sure these were varied and interesting. She went above and beyond in taking him to the beach and dog fields. He was a very happy and tired dog ! Will definitely use again”
About: Animals have always been part of our everyday life. We grew up with cats and dogs and recently said goodbye to our much-loved 20-year-old cat. Since moving to the UK, we have a very real pet-shaped gap in our lives and would love to shower another furry friend with care while we settle in. We’re happy with pets of all breeds and ages. I’m home four days a week and my partner is home in the later afternoons, so there’s plenty of time for company, cuddles, and attention. Lunchtime walks are already part of our routine, and we’re lucky to live near lots of dog-friendly parks. I have a hybrid work schedule and am available for walks on my work-from-home days (morning, lunchtime, or late afternoon), as well as weekend pet sitting. I’m especially happy to support pets who enjoy consistent, every-other-day walks. I’ll make sure your pet gets plenty of walks, attention, and care. If overnight stays are needed, I don’t have any pets of my own, so your pet will always be my main focus. I’m also happy to pet sit or house sit in your home, where your pet is most comfortable.
About: I've always loved dogs and have hands-on experience caring for two French Bulldogs. Although they have now are back home to my family, caring for them taught me a lot about daily walks, feeding, playtime, and giving dogs the attention and love they need. I'm reliable, patient, and currently have a flexible schedule, so I can provide plenty of care and companionship for your pet. Whether it's walks, drop-in visits, or overnight care, I'll treat your dog like one of my own. I live in a pet-friendly area with great places for walks, and I enjoy spending time outdoors. Your dog's safety, happiness, and comfort are always my top priorities, and I'll keep you updated with photos and messages while you're away. I am home full-time, so I have plenty of time to care for pets throughout the day. This allows me to provide regular walks, feeding, playtime, and lots of attention. I can easily adapt to your pet's routine and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment where pets receive plenty of attention, regular walks, playtime, fresh water, and meals according to their routine. I carefully follow any instructions you provide, including medication, feeding schedules, and special care needs. I treat every pet with kindness and patience and will keep you updated with photos and messages, so you can have peace of mind while you're away.
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals since I can remember, ever since I was a kid, I encountered lots of different pets such as frogs, newts, hamsters, tortoise ect. However we had two staffs, I cared for them with my dad, from birth till I was 12. Having two staffs alongside many other animals has helped me gain knowledge on how to care and raise animals. Aside from my own pets, being an animal lover I naturally took on the role of walking my family’s dogs. I also worked in a farm for a few years doing voluntary work, this further expanded my experience beyond dogs and pets you’d have at home. I cleaned them out, fed them, and made sure everything is how it’s supposed to be to ensure they’re comfortable. At the moment I am unemployed and out of education, because of this I will have plenty of time to cater to walking your dogs! I would make sure the dogs needs are met, I would take time to get to know each dogs needs specifically. I would ensure the dog is always in my sight and never left unattended.

About: My sister Kerry and I have many years experience of living with dogs. We have owned a West Highland White Terrier and our most recent, a border collie.

Our home is your dog’s home and will be treated as we would our own. They have total freedom in our house with full access to a lovely, big garden. There will be no cages & no crates used unless you say otherwise. We take the time to gain your dog’s trust as we want nothing more than for your dog to feel as safe & happy with us as they do with you. You can expect plenty of play time, daily walks and a lot of love, as we treat them just like we would our own. We aren’t the only ones that deserve a holiday, your dog does too! Interested in knowing what your dog is getting up too whilst you’re away? No problem!

“Couldn't give anything but 5 stars. Gabriella was amazing throughout. It was our first time leaving our pup so we were extremely nervous but Gabriella put us at ease with her updates and photos! book again in the future!100% would”
“Siu Yung and her family were absolutely wonderful with Orbit. We had a pre visit beforehand and I knew instantly that she would be well cared for. We were kept so well updated throughout her stay with messages, photos, and little details about walks, meals, and how she was settling in. It genuinely felt like Orbit was part of their family rather than just being looked after. She had lovely walks, lots of attention, and a calm, caring home environment. We came back to a happy, relaxed dog, which says everything. I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to book with Siu Yung again and would highly recommend them for anyone looking for home Boarding!”
“Thank you very much Kim for looking after Leo again! Very flexible and accommodating with times and days Plenty of photos and kept us updated the whole time! Highly recommend”

“I booked a last minute boarding request with Indy for three days for my large dog. 5 stars doesn’t even cut it! My dog is a rescue and can be nervous at times, but she loved every second. Even though the request was last minute, Indy still accommodated a meet before booking anything, which went well. Layla was so very well looked after and cared for by the family, I had constant updates via text with pictures and videos, she was having the best time. I couldn’t recommend Indy enough, I’ll absolutely be rebooking when the time comes that Layla needs boarding/ dog sitting again”
“Maria and Vernon were great in looking after snoopy. He was a happy and energetic boy when we picked him up. Maria sent us loads of pictures throughout. Thanks for taking such good care of him.”
“Our Shih tzu Willow settled in very nicely with sisters Nicola and Kerry and their mum. I was sent messages and photos throughout the whole weekend which was so reassuring. They really looked after Willow, took her for long walks over the park and gave her plenty of cuddles. They also have a very large garden for Willow to run around in. I would definitely recommend this family to pet-sit your dog 🐶”
“Elisa was fantastic. We trusted her with our beloved Twix whilst we were away on holiday. She sent regular updates and pictures. We could tell from the pictures Twix was having a great time and being looked after. Daily walks and plenty of activity with Elsie’s own dog. We’re really pleased we went with Elisa and the service she’s provided. Would recommend and use again.”
“Lauren and her family are an absolute dream. They are kind and caring and took great care of my two little doggies. Despite one being quite anxious, they both settled in quickly and felt immediately at home. Lauren has a fab house and big garden so the doggies have plenty room to run around and explore. I will definitely be booking again :)”
“Maria had a lovely time with Crumpet and came back super happy! Maria sent us lots of updates and photos which was great and was really quick to respond to us. We will book again!”

About: I’ve had dogs all my life, 2 staffies (one who didn’t get on with other dogs) a springer and a jack/staffie cross. They all had their own personalities but all needed a lot of walks and I miss that the most, taking them out for a long walk in rain, hail or shine and getting home and watching them curl up and drift off always makes me happy. I work full time but wfh home on a Monday and Friday so I only offer long weekends, unless they can have a dog walker for the days I’m not at home. That way I know I can take them out for a walk in the morning and then again after work. I have a reasonably large fenced garden. I don’t allow dogs upstairs or on the furniture. You’re dog will get lots of cuddles, walks and playtime if they like those things, I know they don’t all do.
“Billie had a great time. Sarah Jane was very accommodating and let me know how Billie was getting on during the day. I will definitely ask her to look after Billie again. Thank you”
About: I’ve always had a love for dogs and plenty of hands-on experience caring for them. A few years ago, I spent a couple of years dog sitting, looking after dogs of different breeds, sizes, and personalities, which helped me build confidence and understanding in their individual needs. Alongside this, I’ve had family dogs for over 12 years, so caring for dogs has always been a big part of my everyday life. From feeding routines and walks to playtime, companionship, and understanding their behaviour, I’m experienced in providing a safe, loving, and reliable environment for every dog in my care. At Lisa’s Dog Care, I treat every dog as if they were my own, making sure they feel comfortable, happy, and truly at home. Lisa’s Dog Care is my full-time commitment, allowing me to provide dedicated, hands-on care throughout the entire day. My routine is fully centred around the dogs in my care, ensuring they receive constant attention, supervision, and companionship. Each day begins with morning routines including feeding, walks, and playtime, setting a calm and happy tone. Throughout the day, I am always present, providing one-to-one attention, regular exercise, and plenty of interaction, adapting to each dog’s individual needs and routine. Afternoons and evenings continue with walks, feeding, and relaxation time, making sure every dog feels comfortable and settled. For overnight stays, I am on hand at all times to ensure dogs feel safe, secure, and truly at home. As this is my full-time role, dogs are never left unattended, and their wellbeing, happiness, and safety are always my top priority. Your dog’s safety and wellbeing are my top priorities at Lisa’s Dog Care. I provide a secure, fully fenced garden where dogs can play, explore, and enjoy fresh air safely at all times. Inside, dogs are cared for in a calm, home-from-home setting where they can relax and feel comfortable. I carefully manage introductions and interactions to ensure all dogs get along happily. I also have my friendly Chow Chow, BooBooBear, who loves the company of other dogs and helps create a welcoming, social environment for your fur baby. Whether your dog enjoys playtime or prefers a quieter companion, I make sure every dog feels safe, settled, and cared for like part of the family.
“Seema and her family were lovely and we felt really comfortable leaving Tiggy with them. We got text updates, and Seema even slept downstairs with her. When we picked Tiggy up she was relaxed and happy. We would definitely book again!”
