About: The Pawfect Getaway. *Taking bookings for Christmas & New Year four legged guests. Drop me a message to enquire re availability and costs* I have many years of hands-on experience caring for dogs as part of my own family. Over the years I’ve shared my home with working Cocker Spaniels, Springer Spaniels and Labradors, so I’m very familiar with both energetic breeds and those who enjoy a steadier pace as they mature. Living with dogs has taught me the importance of consistency, patience and understanding each dog’s individual personality. I’m comfortable with daily walks, feeding routines, enrichment, and quiet companionship — not just exercise, but genuine care and presence. I also have experience administering medication, including tablets and routine treatments, and I’m happy to follow clear instructions to ensure your dog’s health needs are met properly and calmly. What Sets Me Apart Your dog would be cared for in my own home, not a kennel or busy multi-dog environment. I offer one-to-one care, meaning your dog gets my full attention and is treated as an individual, not part of a crowd. I take time to understand and maintain your dog’s existing routines — feeding times, walks, sleeping arrangements and any special habits — so they feel settled and secure while you’re away. Familiar routines make a world of difference to a dog’s happiness and wellbeing. I provide a quiet, relaxed, home-from-home environment, ideal for dogs who prefer calm company, personal attention, and a predictable day. My aim is always that your dog feels safe, comfortable and genuinely cared for — and that you can enjoy your time away with real peace of mind. Pet care fits very comfortably into my daily routine as I am retired and at home all day. This means your dog will have constant companionship and supervision, rather than being left alone for long periods. I’m able to structure my day around your dog’s usual routine, including regular walks, feeding times, medication if required, play, and plenty of rest. Being at home allows me to give unhurried, one-to-one attention, respond quickly to your dog’s needs, and provide reassurance throughout the day. Whether your dog enjoys activity or prefers a quieter pace, I can adapt the day to suit them while keeping things familiar and calm. My aim is to offer a consistent, home-from-home experience, so your dog feels settled, secure, and genuinely cared for while you’re away. I care for pets in a calm, structured, and attentive way, always treating them as individuals. When caring for dogs in my own home, I provide a safe, relaxed, home-from-home environment with plenty of supervision and one-to-one attention. I follow each owner’s instructions carefully, maintaining established routines for feeding, walks, rest, play, and medication, as consistency is key to helping dogs feel secure. I take time to understand a pet’s personality, preferences, and any health or behavioural needs. I’m experienced with energetic breeds as well as dogs who prefer a quieter pace, and I adapt care accordingly. I ensure dogs are never left for long periods and always have companionship, comfort, and reassurance. When caring for pets in my home, I respect and follow the same careful approach — sticking closely to the pet’s normal routine, keeping their environment familiar, and providing calm, dependable care. My priority in every situation is the pet’s wellbeing, comfort, and safety, and giving owners genuine peace of mind while they’re away.

“Couldn’t have asked for a better person to look after my dog! She was so good with him so knowledgeable with him being quite scared of dogs and high prey drive! Treat him like her own and I was so happy while I was away knowing he was so well looked after 🤍🐾”

“Courtney came to sit for us at short notice and she was amazing . Our poodle can be very shy however she liked Courtney straight away because of her calm confidence. Courtney took her for several walks throughout the day and sent us some photos to show Super having a relaxing day. I felt very comfortable leaving Super and would definitely contact Courtney again and throughly recommend her. Courtney was kind,,calm and knowledgeable of dogs, she was lovely with us on a busy morning getting ready for our son’s wedding ! Thank you Courtney - Super was very lucky to have you with her for the day .”

“Leah personality matched very well my little cutie. Benny is very selective and introverted but he followed her when she left, he really didn’t want to see her go.”

“Madison was incredible! Left the house spotless and really clean, even though it was a very wet few days, the wet dog could have made everything soaking. Most importantly my dog absolutely loved her and had a brilliant time. Would highly highly recommend her to anyone needing a dog sitter!”

I can recognize signs of stress, illness, or discomfort in pets, ensuring they stay healthy and happy while in my care.Having both a dog and a cat means I’m experienced in managing the unique needs of different species. I understand their distinct behaviors, dietary requirements, and exercise needs, so I’m well-prepared to care for a variety of pets.Caring for a disabled animal has taught me patience, adaptability, and compassion. I’m skilled in administering medications, assisting with mobility, and providing the extra attention and care that special-needs pets require. If your pet has similar challenges, I’ll ensure they’re comfortable and well looked after.My experience with a disabled pet has made me highly empathetic and responsible. I know how important it is to go above and beyond to ensure the comfort and well-being of the animals in my care.I know how important mental stimulation and socialization are for pets.

About: As a devoted pet sitter, my motivation stems from a deep-rooted love for dogs and a genuine enjoyment in caring for animals. My journey into pet sitting began organically as I found myself frequently looking after friends' and family members' dogs, as well as other animals, while they were away on holidays. This experience has not only enriched my life with countless wagging tails and warm nuzzles but has also instilled in me a sense of responsibility and understanding of the trust pet owners place in a sitter. I take pride in providing a service that goes beyond mere supervision. To me, pet sitting is about creating a bond with each animal, ensuring they feel loved, secure, and engaged in the absence of their owners. Whether it's maintaining their daily routines, providing stimulating playtime, or just being a comforting presence, my goal is to ensure that every pet is happy and healthy under my care. My services are tailored to each pet's individual needs, and I am committed to upholding the highest standards of care. With my experience and passion for pet sitting, I am confident in my ability to provide a safe, nurturing, and fun environment for your furry friends. I am presently engaged in a part-time job that allows me the flexibility to work remotely, which means that my schedule is quite adaptable. Consequently, I will have an abundance of time available to devote to the care and attention of your pets, ensuring they receive the best possible care during your absence. I live in a quiet area away from busy roads, surrounded by nature. Our back garden has a fence all around, so it's safe for animals. We've turned a small room in the garden into a cozy space for dogs, with plenty of spots for them to sleep.

About: I've cared for a variety of pets throughout my life, from dogs and cats to horses and livestock! My aim is for all pets to feel as loved as possible. I work part time from home, as well as helping on the family farm. I have lots of availability for dog walking and pet sitting. Currently only offering house sitting and dog walks while work is being done on my house. However, current clients will have priority for when pet sitting in my own home becomes available. I have a gentle but playful border collie who can join playful pups for walks, or single household walks are available too!
