“Buckley had the most wonderful stay with Siu Yung and was treated like one of the family, with so much kindness and care. Even though the booking was very last minute, Siu Yung was incredibly accommodating, kept us updated throughout, and kindly waited up late for our return. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her—Buckley is already looking forward to his next visit.”
“Gabriella is a superstar! She is very reliable, approachable and flexible. Snuggles had great time with her and my mind was at ease while I was away thanks to her regular updates. She was very thoughtful and protective about my dogs and made sure to keep him safe from hot weather, other dogs. I would highly recommend”
“Amazing boarding with Kim, Bailey had a great time and Kim took such amazing care of her. Plenty of updates whilst we were away and Bailey can’t wait for her next visit with her favourite people! Thanks again Kim! ⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Chanise had my puppy Oreo for 3 days and Oreo absolutely loved every minute of being with her. Chanise went above and beyond to make sure Oreo was happy and comfortable being in a different environment, I really didn’t think he would want to leave! Chanise is such a lovely, caring woman. I would definitely ask her to look after Oreo again as she was so good with him. Highly recommend 🥰🤍”
“An amazing lady who genuinely adores dogs and treats them like they were her own. Our Buck had an amazing four days. This was our first time using Rover and finding Leonore was a breath of fresh air- we had no worries and she made us feel at ease with the photos and videos . Will definitely be using Leonore again. 100% recommend”
“Katy was great with Nala. Nala stayed with Katy for 6 nights and we were really thankful of the constant communication we received. We’ve already booked Nala in to stay with Katy again. Can’t recommend enough.”
“Maria and her husband were brilliant with my nervous 10 year old dog. They were patient, kind and took on board her feeding schedule with no problems. Maria was always polite, friendly and reliable. She gave us updates during the stay including photos. We will definitely be using her again.”
“Diana is a lovely warm person; who was great with our dog. She sent regular updates showing that our boy had made himself at home. Mani loved his time with her and Toffee and returned home a happy pup. Would definitely recommend”
“Vanessa kindly has been looking after my Millie at quite short notice. I can’t tell you how over the moon I am with the service and the quality of care that she’s given from Vanessa and our family. She has been an absolute pleasure to deal with so if anyone in the future needs there pet looked after you will not be disappointed. Thank you again Vanessa.”
“Alix was amazing with Coco. She took the time and effort before the day to find out more about Coco. On the day she regularly sent us photos and videos of Coco to put our minds at rest. When we collected Coco she was happy and exhausted ready for bed. Would definitely leave Coco with Alix again.”
“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”
“I would highly recommend Maria to look after your dog. She is very accommodating and thorough but most importantly, she is kind. I felt comfortable and confident leaving my dog with Maria for a week while we went on holiday and my dog was happy and content when we picked her up.”
“Anita was amazing with Mentos, I left my dog with her knowing that my dog will be well looked after. She is very warm and kind person, Mentos was really happy to stay with her and her family. Will book again soon ☺️”
About: I’ve grown up with large dogs my entire life. Growing up we had a German shepherd names Sabre and then a husky named Eski. Throughout our entire family we’ve always had big dogs, including an XL bully & Great Dane mastiff cross. I’m confident with all types and dogs and have an unbelievable amount of love for them! I go into the office once or twice a week so have most of the week to be at home looking after and playing with dogs. I’m an avid walker so enjoy taking the dogs out in the countryside I have a fenced garden with some good space and dogs living either side of me. I love a cuddle and playtime with all dogs.
“Diego, Julie and the kids were the PERFECT sitters, carers and friends to my two dogs Toby & Shiloh. They took on this sit at the very last minute, whilst I was thousands of miles away on honeymoon, and they handled the situation with the utmost care, respect and empathy. Every single day I received update pictures and videos, and I can tell in each one that the dogs were having the time of their lives. They were smiley, they were bubbly, they were just so happy to be with them, and when I came to pick them up on the final day, you could see that they had been so loved and so welcomed into the family. I really can’t thank Diego and his family enough!! They were absolute superstars, 10 out of 10, and I would not hesitate to book them 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.

“Teodora is always great and I can recommend her having used her previously to look after my cat. She is professional and reliable and very good with my cat amd I know I can be assured that my cat is in good hands when Teodora is looking after her. Thanks Teodora”
About: I grew up with dogs and from a very young age and have always loved animals. I currently have a 9 year old German Shepherd who I trained from 10 weeks old. I also have a 3 year Presa Canario who I have trained from 12 weeks old. As well as dogs, I had 2 senior cats. Unfortunately one has passed but I still have our 14 year old cat called Poopie. I occasionally check in and look after the pets of my friends and family.
“Vanessa kindly has been looking after my Millie at quite short notice. I can’t tell you how over the moon I am with the service and the quality of care that she’s given from Vanessa and our family. She has been an absolute pleasure to deal with so if anyone in the future needs there pet looked after you will not be disappointed. Thank you again Vanessa.”
“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.”
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 have loved animals and especially cats since i was around 5-6 years old. I would spend my pocket money on cat food for the strays i had taken in. I have been a cat parent for the last 30 years. After taking my current fur baby in from the streets i have developed an even deeper understanding of cats through trials and errors. I have now learnt to be even more patient and understand how difficult it is to find a really good cat sitter you can use regularly. Due to a cats nature and especially a nervous one like mine a routine and things being done the same way their owner/fur parent would do them is of huge importance for their health and wellbeing. This is why i have decided to sign myself up in the hope i can be of service to like minded fur parents and save their fur babies from any undue stress.

About: Hello, pet parents! My name is Terisa, and I offer unconditional love and care for your beloved furry friend because I understand just how much they mean to you. Life feels incomplete without the joy of a dog’s presence, which is why I became a dog sitter. I have been dog sitting for 10 years, and it has truly been a wonderful experience! I’ve had the pleasure of meeting so many amazing dogs and families, and I am incredibly grateful to all my lovely pups and their wonderful parents. I’ve found my furry companions through various channels, including Borrow My Doggy, where I became best friends with an elderly Rottweiler and cared for him until his final days. When I lived in the Netherlands, I frequently house-sat on a beautiful houseboat and looked after a sweet little rescued Chihuahua who had emigrated with his owners to experience Dutch life. As a student, I walked dogs for free simply because I loved the companionship. I enjoy taking my dogs on adventures to far-flung places, nature hikes, beautiful parks, and beaches. I’m always on the lookout for dog-friendly activities, and exploring new places with a pup is one of my favourite things to do. Here’s what I can offer: I have a full-time job, and unfortunately, I can’t bring dogs into the office. However, I can arrange to work from home on the days I dog sit at your place. On weekends and holidays, I am available for drop-ins, walks, and full-day dog sitting at your home. I believe in adapting to each dog’s unique energy, which is something I think we can sense from the very first moments. That’s why I always like to meet in person once we’ve made an arrangement. I can’t wait to see your pup’s wagging tail! 🐕
About: I'm a friendly, reliable carer of pets with a particular love for dogs! I take pride in looking after other people's dogs as if they were my own I work from home and leave most of my weekends free for dog sitting. I am flexible with my plans so I can accomodate shy and sociable pets! I have a fenced garden available and local parks where your pets can walk. I have comfy furniture available for them if they prefer snoozing at home, too!
“I genuinely can’t thank Chanise and Jake enough for how amazing they were with Bella. ❤️ My booking was incredibly last minute, but they were so kind and accommodating and made arrangements to be available for her. Bella has never been away from me unless she’s been with family, so I was honestly so, so nervous leaving her. I think anyone who has a dog will understand just how difficult it can be to leave your fur baby with someone new, especially for the first time. 🥹 From the moment I spoke with Chanise for the first time to picking up Bella, the communication was absolutely amazing. The regular updates, pictures and messages throughout the day meant more to me than they probably realise. Seeing Bella looking happy, comfortable and settled instantly put my mind at ease. Being sent pictures of her was definitely the highlight of my day because, if I’m honest, I’d been worrying about her constantly! ❤️ Bella made herself right at home almost immediately, and I truly believe that’s because of how gentle, loving and welcoming Chanise and Jake were with her. They made her feel so comfortable and treated her as though she was one of their own. They were also so flexible and happy to make their home feel like Bella’s home too, keeping things as familiar as possible for her — even letting her enjoy her favourite spot on the sofa! 🐶🥰 This was our first time with them, but I can say with complete confidence that it definitely won’t be our last. I left Bella with them feeling nervous, but I picked her up feeling so grateful and reassured knowing she had been so well cared for. Bella is home now, curled up fast asleep in my lap, and I think that says absolutely everything about the day she’s had. 🥹❤️ A tired and happy dog is the best review of all! Thank you both so much for taking such wonderful care of my girl and for giving me the reassurance I needed. It’s such a relief to find people you can genuinely trust with someone who means so much to you. 100% recommend Chanise and Jake to anyone looking for loving, reliable and genuinely caring doggy care. Bella has definitely found her second home! ❤️🐾”

“Angela is a very caring dog sitter. She provided lots of photos and videos throughout Aki’s stay, so I always knew what Aki was doing, which gave me great peace of mind. Angela always asked for permission before giving Aki any treats, and Aki felt at home almost immediately. Thank you, Angela! ❤️ I would definitely recommend Angela to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy dog sitter for their dog.”
“Lucy was great with our 6 month old Vizsla puppy Scout. She kept us updated and returned to us with a very happy chilled out pup, we definitely recommend Lucy and we’ll for sure use her for day care again :)”

I have 2 fur babies of my own, a small and medium sized dogs who are friendly and love to have doggy friends come to stay. I am a dog lover, who has had dogs both as a child and as an adult, so has lots of experience. I look after small to medium sized dogs and I accept dogs of any age, young or senior and am based in Hornchurch, Essex.

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.

“Thank you Terisa for walking Rex at short notice for me & for keeping me updated. He was happy & settled when I returned home. I will be in contact regarding dog sitting here in the near future. ?”
“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: 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.
About: I’ve had cats all my life and currently we live with two feline friends who rule the roost. 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: 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. We sadly lost our border collie to a brain tumour last year and since then wanted to give other fur besties all the love & fun they deserve! 💕 We’ve spent the last year looking after friend’s & family’s dogs and with the growing interest decided to expand to others. 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! You will receive daily updates and photos to keep your mind at ease 🐶 There will always be someone at home with your dog. Even though I, Nicola, go out to work at times, Kerry and I work together and is around during the day so will always be available in case your dog needs the toilet, to take them on their daily walks, and of course to play! 🎾. We live a 5 minute walk from the park so your dog will never miss a walk, after all, that is their favourite time of day! We try to make our home feel like your dog’s home. Your rules are what we follow. If you keep them in a crate over night please bring it with you. If they’re not allowed upstairs we’ll make sure they stay downstairs. If you allow them full access in your home they will definitely have that here too! We also have a big, fenced garden they have full access too as well. Meet & greet always welcome and advised which gives you a chance to meet us, we can meet you and you can see where your dog will be staying.

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 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.

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.

“Buckley had the most wonderful stay with Siu Yung and was treated like one of the family, with so much kindness and care. Even though the booking was very last minute, Siu Yung was incredibly accommodating, kept us updated throughout, and kindly waited up late for our return. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her—Buckley is already looking forward to his next visit.”
“Gabriella is a superstar! She is very reliable, approachable and flexible. Snuggles had great time with her and my mind was at ease while I was away thanks to her regular updates.

“Thank you Jack for being so welcoming and for taking such good care of Cooper for his first overnight stay. He came home happy and exhausted from all the fun he obviously had! It was great to see Cooper get on well with their dog Otis, too. ☺️ I wouldn’t hesitate to use Jack again! 🐾”

“Stacey and her partner were incredibly caring for my dog, unfortunately he was unexpectedly sick but was in good hands with Stacey and partner while I was at work. Definitely can tell these are dog lovers so would 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”
“Xiaoyi took great care of our dog Frankie over a long weekend. She sent regular photos and updates, and was very attentive throughout. Excellent service — we’ll definitely be back!”
“Chene did an amazing job of looking after Wilf. He is an active dog that needs a lot of exercise and attention and Chene took the time and effort to ensure he was fulfilled with long walks and play. She provided good, regular updates and pictures of Wilf throughout his stay so I was comfortable he was being well looked after (especially as it was his first time being away from me). I am so pleased I found Chene and will definitely use her services again (and Wilf seems to like her too!!! :) ).”
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 have a lifelong love of animals and hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, rabbits, and other small pets. I currently have a Weimaraner puppy and a free-roam rabbit, so I understand the importance of providing pets with the right balance of exercise, routine, patience, and affection. I believe every pet is unique, so I always adapt my care to suit their personality and individual needs. Whether they're playful and energetic, shy and nervous, or older and prefer a quieter pace, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I'm happy to follow your pet's usual routine, including feeding schedules, administering simple medications, and any special care instructions. I'm experienced in caring for puppies and understand the importance of consistency, positive reinforcement, and maintaining their routine. I also provide calm, patient care for senior pets, ensuring they receive the attention and gentle approach they need. Communication is very important to me, so after every visit, walk, or boarding stay, I'll keep you updated with messages and photos, giving you peace of mind while you're away. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always put their safety, happiness, and wellbeing first. I live with my own Weimaraner puppy, so caring for pets is already a natural part of my daily routine. I also work remotely from home, which gives me plenty of flexibility to spend time with the pets in my care throughout the day. Because I work from home, I can give pets plenty of attention, companionship and supervision, as well as regular playtime, cuddles and walks. I’m able to fit their needs into my daily routine and make sure they are happy, comfortable and well cared for. I provide a safe, clean and welcoming home where pets can feel comfortable and relaxed. My garden is fully fenced and secure, giving dogs a safe space to play and enjoy some outdoor time. I always make sure pets are supervised, receive plenty of attention and have a routine that suits their individual needs. I follow owners’ instructions carefully, including feeding, walking and any special requirements. I also understand how important it is for owners to feel confident leaving their pets in someone else’s care. I treat every pet as an individual and provide regular updates and photos so owners can see that their pet is happy, safe and well looked after.
About: I’ve grown up with large dogs my entire life. Growing up we had a German shepherd names Sabre and then a husky named Eski. Throughout our entire family we’ve always had big dogs, including an XL bully & Great Dane mastiff cross. I’m confident with all types and dogs and have an unbelievable amount of love for them! I go into the office once or twice a week so have most of the week to be at home looking after and playing with dogs. I’m an avid walker so enjoy taking the dogs out in the countryside I have a fenced garden with some good space and dogs living either side of me. I love a cuddle and playtime with all dogs.

Your pup will experience a true home-away-from-home featuring a massive, secure garden to run around in. Dogs are fully allowed on the furniture to cuddle up, and they'll be treated like absolute royalty—spoiled rotten, just like my own child! Pet care is the heart of my daily routine!

Our day-to-day revolves around playtime in our massive, secure garden, and we take full advantage of our lovely local area—heading out for big walks through nearby woodlands and forests. Since my schedule is completely flexible, I can easily fit walks and potty breaks in at any time to match your dog's usual routine. I care for every guest just as I would my own! Your dog's safety and comfort are my top priorities.

For our outings to nearby forests and parks, my car is safely set up with secure doggy seatbelts. I am also entirely adaptable and happy to follow any set rules, routines, or feeding schedules you prefer. Plus, for complete peace of mind, an excellent local vet who knows our pets well is less than 10 minutes away in case of any emergency.
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.
