About: I have taken care of many animals, from many different owners, including; dogs, cats, rabbits, horses and guinea pigs. I can either drop in for day visits or live in/house sit. I work full time but can pet sit in evenings, early mornings and weekends. I will work around the owner as much as possible, making the process as easy as possible. I have a fenced garden and a quiet household. There are no children in the household and only one dog, who is friendly towards all other animals.

About: I’ve had dogs all my life, including Retrievers, labradors, Staffordshire bull terriers, beagles, cavapoos, cocker spaniels. I have successfully trained dogs with ease. I live with my partner Will who is also a dog lover, and our Cocker Spaniel. We have a big fenced garden and live near wonderful countryside walking areas. As we already have a Spaniel we are used to round the clock dog care. We both work from home so are able to be with the dogs. We have a big garden which is fenced and totally secure. We have a crate which can be assembled should the owner prefer their dog to be in a crate at any point. The dogs are happy sleeping in the kitchen overnight. No dogs are allowed upstairs or on the furniture, but we have plenty of comfy dog beds!

About: I’ve grown up around dogs and have had them in my life for as long as I can remember. I currently have a 5-year-old fox red Labrador who I’ve trained to work - she’s incredibly calm, gentle, and great with other dogs, which helps create a relaxed and safe environment for any dog in my care. Over the years I’ve regularly looked after dogs for friends and family, often having multiple dogs staying at once - having 5–6 dogs in the house is something I’m very comfortable with. I understand different temperaments, routines, and how to manage group dynamics calmly and safely. I live in a rural part of Wiltshire with a large, fully fenced garden and direct access to beautiful footpaths, fields, and woodland. Whether your dog prefers relaxed lead walks or more active runs, I can tailor their exercise to suit them. I’m very flexible and happy to follow your dog’s normal routine closely, including feeding, sleeping arrangements, and any specific needs. I’m also comfortable taking puppies who aren’t yet house trained and will handle them with patience and consistency. Above all, I treat every dog as if they were my own - giving them a calm, safe, and enjoyable stay. I have a flexible schedule and spend a lot of time at home, so your dog will have plenty of attention and company throughout the day. Walks are built into my daily routine, with easy access to fields, woodland, and quiet rural footpaths right from my doorstep. I can adapt to your dog’s usual routine, whether that’s early morning walks, multiple shorter walks, or more active exercise. I’m available for both weekdays and weekends and can be flexible with drop-off and collection times where needed. Your dog will be cared for in a calm, safe, and secure rural environment. I have a large, fully fenced garden where dogs can safely explore and play, as well as direct access to quiet countryside walks. I have a well-trained, gentle Labrador who is great with other dogs and helps create a relaxed, social environment. I’m experienced in managing multiple dogs and understanding different temperaments, ensuring all dogs are introduced and supervised carefully. I’m happy to follow your dog’s usual routine closely, including feeding, sleeping arrangements, and any specific needs. Crating is absolutely fine if that’s what your dog is used to, and I’m also comfortable caring for puppies who aren’t yet house trained.
