“Ellie went to stay for a week with Natasha and the first 48hrs were very stressful for us all as Ellie as a puppy struggled to settle, Natasha persevered and the week become a lot better with Ellie settling into a different dog for Natasha and everything going perfect. Natasha is a fantastic host and a very good choice for your pet, we even received photos of Ellie’s stay filling us with so much confidence of our choice.”

About: Hello! I'm Frankie and I live in St Leonards, just a short walk from the beach. I'm a mum of two teenagers who are now busy living their own lives, which means my home is a little quieter these days. I work from home as a Brand and Creative Manager for St John Ambulance, and I'd love some canine company during the week. Dogs have always been part of my life. Growing up we had family dogs, and as an adult I've owned a Labrador and spent plenty of time around Bearded Collies, Staffies and Jack Russells. I genuinely enjoy being around dogs of all shapes, sizes and personalities. I live in a garden flat with a secure enclosed garden, and because I mostly work from home I can easily fit in two or three walks a day. I'm also looking for an excuse to spend more time outdoors, so your dog will definitely not be short of exercise, attention or affection. My home is very much a dog friendly home. Dogs are welcome on the sofa for cuddles and company while I work or watch TV in the evenings. I'll happily follow any routines, feeding schedules or house rules that help your dog feel comfortable and settled. I usually travel to London one day a week for work, but this is flexible and can be arranged around bookings if needed. I'm not quite ready to commit to having a dog of my own again, but I miss having dogs around enormously. Looking after other people's dogs feels like the perfect solution. If you're looking for someone reliable, experienced and genuinely delighted to spend time with your dog, I'd love to hear from you ❤️ I work from home most of the week as a Brand and Creative Manager for St John Ambulance, so I'm around for company, feeding, toilet breaks and walks throughout the day. I usually travel into London one day a week, but this is flexible and can be planned around bookings where needed. Outside of that, I have plenty of time for pets and can comfortably fit in two or three walks a day for dogs. My own children are teenagers and rarely at home now, so I have the time, space and energy to give visiting pets lots of attention and companionship. I live in a ground floor garden flat in St Leonards with a secure enclosed garden and plenty of nearby walking routes, including the seafront. Pets are welcome as part of the household and will be treated as members of the family rather than left on their own all day. I've lived with dogs for most of my life, including Labradors, Staffies, Bearded Collies and Jack Russells, and I'm comfortable following individual routines, feeding schedules and care instructions. Whether your pet loves long walks, playing, sofa cuddles or simply having someone nearby, I'll make sure they feel safe, settled and cared for while you're away. As a manager at St John Ambulance, reliability, responsibility and trust are a big part of my day to day life.

“As always our Maggie was so well looked after, surrounded by love and fun, and we could have a restful holiday with a peace of mind about our doggy.”

About: I’m a newly quailed Occupational Therapist and a dedicated dog lover with hands-on experience caring for my own 10 year old Poodle. Looking after my dog over the years has given me a strong understanding of pet care; including feeding, walking, grooming, playtime, administering routines; and recognizing changes in behavior and wellbeing. My professional background has helped me develop excellent observations, communication and caregiving skills. I am trained to be patient, attentive, responsible, and focused on safety, all of which are valuable when caring for pets. I pay close attention to individual needs and understand the importance of consistency, routine, and creating a calm environment. I am confident caring for pets of different ages and temperaments. including senior dogs who may require extra patience, gentle exercise, and closer monitoring. I enjoy providing both physical activity and companionship to help pets feel comfortable and happy while their owners are away. What sets me apart is my combination of personal dog ownership experience, professional caring skills, and genuine love for animals. I understand that pets are family members, and I will treat your furry friend with the same care, respect, and affection that i give my own dog!💗 Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I make time every day for feeding, cleaning litter trays, and giving pets attention and playtime. I enjoy creating a calm and comfortable environment so cats feel relaxed while their owners are away. I’m organised and reliable, so I always make sure pets are cared for on time and according to their usual routine. When caring for pets in a pet owner’s home, I make sure to follow their usual routine as closely as possible so the pet feels comfortable and stress-free. This includes feeding at the right times, refreshing water, cleaning litter trays thoroughly, and spending quality time playing or giving attention. I’m always respectful of the owner’s home and keep everything clean and tidy. I also send regular updates and photos so owners know their pet is happy and well cared for.

“Steve and Cathy provided a home form home for our spaniel, after a bad experience using kennels it was great to see her so well cared for and happy, thank you Steve and Cathy.”
