“We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter for Rudi! Kat was absolutely lovely from the start — super friendly, personable and really easy to communicate with. She kept us updated throughout Rudi’s stay, letting us know how she was doing, when she had water and treats, and how much she had eaten. Kat also took the time to ask questions about Rudi and her preferences, which really reassured us that she was being looked after properly and as an individual. We felt completely at ease knowing Rudi was with Kat, and from all the updates, it’s clear she had the best time! 🥰 Kat is fantastic and we’ll definitely be trusting her with Rudi again for any future requirements. Highly recommend!”
“Anna and Jorge were brilliant with our dog. They got to know him and took care of him exactly how he likes. He came home happy and healthy and they enjoyed the week they had with him. We will definitely be booking them again”
About: Hi! I’m Martha, and I’ve been around dogs for as long as I can remember. I’ve grown up with both big and small dogs, so I’m comfortable caring for all breeds, sizes, and personalities. Dogs have always been such a big part of my life, and I genuinely love spending time with them. Whether it’s going on long walks, playing, giving lots of fuss and cuddles, or simply keeping them company, I’ll make sure your dog feels happy, loved, and cared for while you’re away. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, so I’ll always treat your dog like they’re my own and follow their usual routine to help them feel as comfortable as possible. My goal is to give you complete peace of mind, knowing your furry friend is in safe, caring hands. I can’t wait to meet you and your dog! I currently work part-time and work am shifts. I work from 2am - 8am and I get home before my partner leaves so there is always someone in the flat and I get the rest of the day! We will have at least 2 long walks per day and live next to a big field where we go and chuck the ball on too. I have a big field next to my building to let the dogs run round and chase a ball, and also a long walks down by a nice river next to us which is perfect for the pooches! I have one small male dog who is the most comfortable and friendly dog! He has never had any incidents with other dogs and is super friendly and playful to other dogs. He knows to keep a distance from not so confident dogs and is very well trained!
“Nala had another great stay at Rebecca’s, this time for a week! There were no issues at all and communication was great. I would 100% recommend, and Nala will be visiting more often 😁”
“I was really nervous about leaving my dog with strangers for the first time but with regular pupdates of how Rosie was & the fact they stuck to her routine put me at ease. The fact they had a friendly dog themselves made Rosie’s stay much more fun I would definitely use this couple again.”
“As soon as Juno, our border terrier, met Jessica at the meet and greet, it was clear that they were going to get on. She then showed no anxiety when I left her for our week away. Jessica then sent me photos and updates and I was completely reassured that she was enjoying her stay. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Jessica as she clearly loves dogs.”
“Lauren has looked after our two staffies twice now and we couldn’t happier with the level of care. She’s brilliant at sending regular updates and great at wrangling our big bundles of energy. We can tell how much our girls love staying because this time when we dropped them off they ran to the front door!”
“Would 100% recommend! Luna really enjoyed her stay, settled in really quickly and we got lots of daily updates. Thank you so much for looking after our baby 😊”
“Fynn had a fantastic time. We loved receiving the daily photo updates and they really paid attention to all of Fynn’s needs and we felt that he was in very good hands! We would send him back for future holidays! Thanks again!”
“Adele and Jordan were absolutely fantastic with our Basset hound Twiglet! I can’t rate them highly enough. If you are looking for somewhere safe,secure and caring for your dog. These guys are perfect.”

“Teddy had a wonderful time with Csilla and her daughter, he is an anxious boy but he settled in strait away. Csilla sent pictures and a video of Teddy playing in the garden. Although he greeted me enthusiastically when I went to collect him he was very happy to stay !! I’ve already booked two more stays and I would recommend Csilla to others without a second thought. Thank you for looking after my little man so well and treating him like one of the family.”
“If there were 10 stars Julie would get them all! She was so thorough and wanted to know all our dog's needs and requirements, which very much put our minds at ease. After a really generous meet and greet we felt very confident in leaving Thea with her, and we were right. Our dog can be anxious and high needs and Julie worked gently and sensitively with these and gave her such care and love. Would recommend her in a heart beat and will be booking her again. Thank you Julie, from us and Thea.”
About: We have experience caring for puppies, different breeds and dogs with varying temperaments.

“Bella loved her stay with Sarah, in so much she's seems a bit down not to still be with her. We went away for a week and Sarah kept us up to date with daily photos and messages which showed bella having a great time . Friendly and helpful throughout Sarah let Bella have the run of the house and looked after her brilliantly. We will definitely use Sarah again and some of our friends have already made inquiries about they dogs. Many , many thanks to Sarah for a professional and smooth weeks stay .”
“Absolutely brilliant. Naoise sent lovely videos and photos every day to show what Cooper has been upto. He was obviously so happy and content which made us feel happy and content leaving him. Could not recommend enough, we are rebooking already for our next weekend away xx”
“You couldn't wish for a better couple to look after your dog! From placing the initial enquiry we immediately felt at ease knowing he was going to be cared for whilst we were on holiday. Whilst we were away we received photos on the daily of the fun Woody and their dog Odie had been getting up to and we could see just how much fun Woody was having with them, allowing us to relax and enjoy our break. I would 110% recommend Demi and will absolutely look to them again in the future!”

“Oscar looked after my two cats (18 months and 6 months old) whilst i was away on holiday dropping in twice a day. He followed instructions perfectly and wasn’t phased by one of them being a little litter tray sensitive. He updated me with pictures and videos which gave peace of mind and both of my babies were in great spirits when I returned. Would absolutely book again!”
“I couldn’t recommend Louise enough to cat sit! She was excellent looking after my 3 cats, she was kind, understanding, and kept me updated on how my cats were doing including photos and videos. I came home to 3 very happy cats and will absolutely be contacting Louise to look after my cats again in the future :) ”
“Amy was excellent, she quickly made friends with our cat and took great care of him while we were away. She kept us very well updated with messages and photos each visit. We will definitely book her again. Thanks Amy!”
“Amelia was amazing with Luna, she came for two visits whilst we were away over night and sent updates and pictures which really re assured me. She also came to meet myself and Luna before hand which I also thought was really nice of her, I will 110% be using Amelia again and highly recommend her. She is amazing!! ❤️”
“Eve is a professional, caring person with the added advantage of her being a veterinary nurse and I will definitely use Eve again to look after Bella. She came to meet us prior to the booking, though Bella hid behind the sofa!!! Hopefully Bella will make friends with Eve next time (very nervous cat initially). Honestly contact Eve she is lovely and trustworthy. X”
About: I’ve loved and cared for cats for as long as I can remember! Currently, I’m the proud owner of Dolly, a energetic 4-year-old Bengal. Caring for a high-energy breed has given me plenty of hands-on experience with play, routine, and attentive care. Friends and family have always relied on me to pop in, feed, play with, and comfort their cats while they’re away. I’ll treat your cat with the exact same love and attention I give my own!
“Amela is very reliable and gives great updates on my cat when I am away. Also has lots of common sense, when something didn't work the way she expected it to she immediately contacted me. I have no reservations to recommend her on her reliability and common sense attitude.”
About: I have my own cat call Leo! Through this, I am used to taking care of cats. I have taken care of friends cats with various temperaments and needs. Such as specific diets, routines or medicine administration. I am aware of the importance of proper stimulation and play, if appropriate.
“I can't recommend highly enough - If I could give 6 stars, I would! Fiona looked after Harry, my Ginger Tom cat at very short notice due to unforseen circumstances in his arranged care while we were on holiday. Fiona was exceptional, a meet and greet was arranged promptly and Harry warmed to Fiona immediately. He couldn't have been in better hands while we were away, we looked forward to the daily videos and photos (some of the best photos taken of him) Usually an outdoor cat, Harry unfortunately came off worse in a scrap with a neighbourhood cat, following antibiotics and steroids, the wound was still healing and we were advised by our vet to keep him indoors and continue to leave a buster collar on to avoid him scratching the area - Fiona made sure the collars were changed regularly for fresh ones and updated us on the wound. Fiona made sure Harry's mind was occupied, bringing a feather wand and catnip toy box which he loved. Videos show him waiting to greet Fiona at the door with excited chirps and waiting eagerly to be let into the living room which Fiona renamed to the 'play room'. We arrived back to the house looking as we left it and smelling fresh - full litter change, new buster collar on, benches/sink clean and bin changed but most importantly a happy cat! I would book Fiona again in a heartbeat, we're extremely grateful for the care to Harry and our home. Massive thanks!”
“We have been using Julie to look after our cat for many years now. She is very reliable and will go out of her way to accommodate us if we have a last minute trip. Thank you!”
About: Up until 7 years ago when I got my first dog Bella, I always had cats from a very young age. Me and my mam rescued a cat who I named Missy who we then later found out was pregnant. I loved looking after the kittens and making sure they went to a loving home. I kept one kitten who I named Sox.
“Tasha was great with our cats having so much experience with her own we felt like our two would be right at home with her and we were right :) It was a last minute booking we needed but she made time to visit us the day before to meet our cats and go over their needs (as fitz especially is a weird one and bee hasn’t been dealing with the heat too well) She sent the most photos we’ve ever gotten from a cat sitter which really put our minds at ease. Thank you so much!”
“Anna has been a super sitter for us and our two cats. Kept us updated with messages and pictures to help us know everything was great back home. We highly recommend if you need a sitter. Thanks again Anna, you're an absolute star!”
“Lydia was so great at communicating and sending photos and also went the extra mile to do us a favour while we were away and pick up a parcel that had been delivered. We were super grateful, thank you! ”
About: I’ve grown up with cats and have always appreciated their unique personalities, independence and ways of communicating. I currently share my home with two cats, which has deepened my understanding of how important patience, routine and trust are when caring for them. Every cat has their own preferences — some love attention and play, while others need quiet companionship and time to feel comfortable. I pay attention to the little things that matter to cats: their routines, body language, favourite spots, feeding habits and individual quirks. My aim is always to create a calm, safe environment where cats feel respected and cared for while their owners are away. Whether your cat needs a friendly visit, feeding, playtime, or simply someone to provide company and reassurance, I’ll treat them with the same care and attention I’d want for my own.

About: I always have dogs in my house, my own, and from family, friends or neighbors who would leave them with me anytime needed. I'm very used to walking dogs and taking great care of them!

I have a fenced yard and an old fury baby - Lilica (14 years old, but very active). I also can easily keep the dogs apart if needed.
About: I have been pet sitting for almost 2 years and it has been something I fall in love with every day. I care with all the love and affection and meet each pet’s needs.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life, and the bond I had with my own dogs shaped everything about who I am today. They taught me patience, empathy, and how to understand animals who communicate more through feeling than words. Losing them was hard, but the impact they had on me is why I now pour my heart into pet sitting and dog walking. I specialise in supporting nervous, shy, and big‑feeling dogs who need someone steady, gentle, and predictable. I walk at a relaxed pace that helps dogs settle, sniff, decompress, and feel safe. I follow each dog’s routine closely — same walking routes, same cues, same pace — because consistency builds trust. I’m soft‑spoken, reliable, and fully present with every dog I care for. Caring for animals feels natural to me — like something I was always meant to do.

“Ana was really nice, met up with us beforehand and then took Watson out for two walks and gave me a little report each time. I would recommend her and will book again in the future!”

About: I understand that trusting someone with your pet is a big decision because I’m exactly the same with my own dog, Roo. She’s my daughter, and I would only ever leave her with someone I completely trust. That’s the standard of care I strive to provide for every pet I look after. As a professional dog walker, I hold a Level 3 qualification in Canine Behaviour and a Level 4 qualification in Canine First Aid. Combined with my hands-on experience professionally working with dogs since the age of 14, these qualifications allow me to understand canine body language, recognise signs of stress or illness, and provide safe, enriching care tailored to each dog’s individual needs. Whether I’m taking your dog for a walk, pet sitting during the day, or providing overnight care in your own home, I’ll treat them with the same love, patience and respect that I give Roo. I’ll take the time to learn their routine, personality and preferences so they feel safe, comfortable and happy while you’re away. I know how important peace of mind is, so I’ll keep you updated with regular messages and photos throughout my time with your pet. My priority is always their safety, wellbeing and happiness, giving you confidence that they’re in caring, knowledgeable and professional hands. Pet care is my full-time focus, so I plan my days around the pets I look after. This allows me to provide reliable walks, pet sitting and overnight stays without rushing, ensuring every dog receives the time, attention and enrichment they deserve. My own rescue dog, Roo, is at the heart of my daily routine, so I understand how important consistency, exercise and companionship are. I carefully organise my schedule to meet each pet’s individual needs, whether that’s sticking to their usual walking routine, feeding times, play sessions or simply providing company and reassurance while you’re away. I believe every pet deserves patient, attentive care, and I treat every dog as if they were a member of my own family. Your pet’s safety, comfort and happiness will always be my priority. I take the time to get to know every dog as an individual, understanding their routine, personality, likes, dislikes and any medical or dietary requirements, including allergies. As a professional dog walker with a Level 3 qualification in Canine Behaviour and a Level 4 qualification in Canine First Aid, I’m trained to recognise canine body language and behaviour. This allows me to assess how a dog is feeling and adapt my approach to ensure they remain relaxed, comfortable and happy throughout their time in my care. I’m experienced with crate training and understand that some dogs benefit from having a safe, familiar space to relax. I can also provide quiet, calming areas where dogs can choose to rest away from other animals if they need time to themselves. Every dog is different, and I always respect their individual needs and boundaries. I have a secure, fenced garden for safe outdoor time and share my home with my rescue dog, Roo, and my two cats. However, I appreciate that not every dog is comfortable around other animals. If your dog is nervous or prefers their own space, I can cater to their individual needs and carefully manage their environment to help them feel safe and secure. I know how much our pets mean to us because I feel exactly the same about Roo. She’s a member of my family, and I provide every dog in my care with the same patience, kindness, respect and attention that I would want for my own pet. My goal is to give you complete peace of mind, knowing your companion is in safe, experienced and caring hands.
About: I’ve been a dog-carer for 8 years and have good knowledge and confidence for our canine babies! I was brought up with dogs and other pets too; I’m all round an animal lover and seem to have created my adult life around this! I originally trained in behaviour therapy and counselling at university 10 years ago and now moved on to nursing, which I will qualify in this summer. I love animals and look after them as much as I can in my spare time. At home I have an elderly cat and 4 chickens. I share a collie dog part time also. I currently work part time and choose my own hours. My daughter is in school. My family and I look after dogs regularly and we have our own too. I’m a very active and healthy person, knowledgable of walks to suit any dog in the area and my home is very spacious with a fenced yard. I am a regular attender to dog festivals, training seminars and canine health. I am passionate for our canine babies and look forward to providing the best care so you can get the time you need! I have a very friendly collie who is in perfect t health and is neutered. My back yard is fenced and home is spacious. We take daily walks in open spaces for dogs to explore and play. At home we play stimuli games and I have dog puzzles too. I have a daughter who is in school but loves dogs too and already has a great understanding. She has been around dogs her entire life as I dog sit, board and walk dogs for friends and family. The health and happiness of the dog is priority and I make sure they’re kept to the best standards.
“Caitlyn was a massive help in walking bella dog for me today and was very accommodating when almost last minute I had to ask for an extra walk than the two planned. Highly recommended by Bella and me.”
About: Hi! I’m Chelsea 😊 I’ve owned multiple dogs at the same time for the majority of my life. Everything from chihuahuas to staffs. I absolutely love dogs, they’re my favourite humans (yes you read that right) I’m currently first aid and cpr trained so comfortable walking high energy, likely to get in a pickle dogs, puppies and elderly dogs needing extra care and attention. I’m more than happy to adapt to every dogs needs and demands to make their walk perfect for them. I am currently upgrading my skills with a level 3 award in canine care, behavior and welfare (ofqual standard) at the minute before I begin boarding and dog sitting from my home. I am the ever proud owner of my elderly chihuahua, Lexi who I love very much. She is one of my children. I’m used to walking 20k plus steps a day and love a good hike so am more than happy to provide bigger more strenuous walks for the high energy pups. I work part time, three days a week but finish on those days at 2pm so can still offer walks on those days too after that time I’m currently working part time leaving most of my week free for all your walking and dog sitting needs! I am free any day after 2pm and the majority of days free from 8am. I have a very large fenced back garden with plenty of running and playing space for your dog giving us a loads of opportunity for a good run up and down and some great games of fetch. Our garden is westerly facing for all the fury sunbathers out there with a large shaded area too! My home is all open plan for free roaming of the place and are more than happy for your doggies to cuddle up on the sofa with us!
About: Ive always loved dogs, had dogs since I was 11, two Bernese mountain dogs both lasting to 11+ years. I now have my own greyhound called Tess who is brilliant with other dogs, gentle and playful. I love to run (the greyhound ironically doesn't share this passion), and I love being outdoors no matter the weather. I am happy to take on group walks with my dog to get them socialized and playing together and she will ensure your dog gets tired out and a good run around and lots of play and care. I work three days a week in a&e. The rest of my time I do lots of walking and running. I love to be outdoors whatever the weather. I have a 3 year old rescue greyhound called Tess. I have a ground floor flat with an enclosed yard. I live in tynemouth adjacent to a large park and plenty of fields. I have plenty of toys and healthy treats
About: I have been surrounded by and caring for animals my entire life. From a young age, I have had the pleasure of living with and looking after a diverse range of pets, including dogs, cats, horses, and parrots, to name just a few. This lifelong experience has provided me with a deep understanding of the unique needs and personalities of various animal companions. Currently based on the Fish Quay, I share my home with my own beloved snow bengal cat, Dolly. This personal experience as a pet owner further reinforces my commitment to providing compassionate, responsible, and attentive care to all animals. I am dedicated to ensuring the well-being and comfort of your pets while you are away. I am available at anytime and usually on the day for your pet sitting needs. Reach out to me and I can try my best to fit into your routine. As I currently offer pet sitting services exclusively in your pet's own home, my care is entirely focused on maintaining their routine and ensuring their comfort and well-being within their familiar environment.
About: I have taken care of my own dogs since was able to walk, I take my own dogs into daily and always love the company. Walking is my safe space and dogs are too which is why this job is so well fitted for me I look after my own dogs daily so it’s routine for me. Normally I go to gym early then walk the dogs before lunch and at tea time. I leave close to the sea so a beach trip is manditory! I have a fenced garden with one friendly cocker spaniel at home, she loves running and especially the. beach and playing on a field, I’m always happy to bring her along with me!
About: I’ve grown up surrounded by animals, including dogs, cats and other pets, so caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routines and little quirks. Whether it’s a playful dog who needs plenty of enrichment, a nervous pet who needs patience and reassurance, or a cat who prefers calm and consistency, I take the time to understand what makes each animal feel comfortable and safe. I’m attentive to the small details — changes in behaviour, body language, preferences and routines — because I believe great pet care is about more than the basics. It’s about creating trust and making sure your pet feels happy and cared for while you’re away. I’d love to welcome your dog or cat into a calm, caring environment where they receive the attention and respect they deserve. I work from home, which allows me to build pet care naturally into my daily routine and provide regular attention throughout the day. My days already include structure, including daily walks and time dedicated to being active and outdoors, so caring for a pet fits naturally alongside my existing routine. I enjoy creating a calm and consistent environment where pets can feel comfortable and settled. When caring for pets alongside my own cats, I prioritise their comfort and safety. I would provide separate spaces where needed, allowing each pet to have their own area, routine and time to relax. For example, visiting cats would have their own dedicated space while they settle in, with individual time spent with them throughout the day, while my own cats have their familiar areas. For dogs, I would take a similar approach by managing introductions carefully and making sure each pet has the space and attention they need. I believe pets are happiest when they feel secure, respected and able to adjust at their own pace. My goal is to make pet care feel like a natural part of my day while ensuring every animal receives personalised attention, routine and companionship. My priority is creating a safe, calm and comfortable environment where every pet feels secure. My home has a fully fenced garden, providing a safe outdoor space for pets to enjoy fresh air and supervised time outside. I always prioritise safety, including being mindful of each pet’s behaviour, needs and comfort levels. As I have my own cats, I take introductions and boundaries seriously. I would provide separate spaces where needed, allowing each pet time to settle and feel secure in their own environment. Any interactions between pets would always be carefully considered, gradual and supervised, based on the individual temperament of each animal. I believe every pet deserves to feel safe, respected and understood. By maintaining clear routines, providing individual attention and adapting care to each animal’s personality, I aim to create a positive and stress-free experience while they are in my care.

I have plenty of time with your puppies. I’m just managing my kids school time which takes about 30 minutes for dropping them off and pick them up but if you dog can’t be left alone I can definitely take it with me without any problem.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life, from small breeds to big ones, so caring for them feels completely natural to me. Dogs are honestly my favourite beings and I love spending time playing with them, keeping them company, and making sure they feel safe and happy. I’m reliable, responsible, and always show up when I say I will. I treat every dog as if they’re my own and make sure they get plenty of love, attention, and care at all times I am not working at the moment as I would genuinely love to focus on Animal care because I love working with them more than anything I don’t offer this service unfortunately as I am currently living with my partner and the flat isn’t big enough to hold any animals sorry

“We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter for Rudi! Kat was absolutely lovely from the start — super friendly, personable and really easy to communicate with. She kept us updated throughout Rudi’s stay, letting us know how she was doing, when she had water and treats, and how much she had eaten. Kat also took the time to ask questions about Rudi and her preferences, which really reassured us that she was being looked after properly and as an individual. We felt completely at ease knowing Rudi was with Kat, and from all the updates, it’s clear she had the best time! 🥰 Kat is fantastic and we’ll definitely be trusting her with Rudi again for any future requirements. Highly recommend!”
“Anna and Jorge were brilliant with our dog. They got to know him and took care of him exactly how he likes. He came home happy and healthy and they enjoyed the week they had with him. We will definitely be booking them again”
About: Hi! I’m Martha, and I’ve been around dogs for as long as I can remember. I’ve grown up with both big and small dogs, so I’m comfortable caring for all breeds, sizes, and personalities. Dogs have always been such a big part of my life, and I genuinely love spending time with them. Whether it’s going on long walks, playing, giving lots of fuss and cuddles, or simply keeping them company, I’ll make sure your dog feels happy, loved, and cared for while you’re away. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, so I’ll always treat your dog like they’re my own and follow their usual routine to help them feel as comfortable as possible. My goal is to give you complete peace of mind, knowing your furry friend is in safe, caring hands. I can’t wait to meet you and your dog! I currently work part-time and work am shifts. I work from 2am - 8am and I get home before my partner leaves so there is always someone in the flat and I get the rest of the day! We will have at least 2 long walks per day and live next to a big field where we go and chuck the ball on too. I have a big field next to my building to let the dogs run round and chase a ball, and also a long walks down by a nice river next to us which is perfect for the pooches! I have one small male dog who is the most comfortable and friendly dog! He has never had any incidents with other dogs and is super friendly and playful to other dogs. He knows to keep a distance from not so confident dogs and is very well trained!
“Nala had another great stay at Rebecca’s, this time for a week! There were no issues at all and communication was great. I would 100% recommend, and Nala will be visiting more often 😁”
“As soon as Juno, our border terrier, met Jessica at the meet and greet, it was clear that they were going to get on. She then showed no anxiety when I left her for our week away. Jessica then sent me photos and updates and I was completely reassured that she was enjoying her stay. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Jessica as she clearly loves dogs.”
“Lauren has looked after our two staffies twice now and we couldn’t happier with the level of care. She’s brilliant at sending regular updates and great at wrangling our big bundles of energy. We can tell how much our girls love staying because this time when we dropped them off they ran to the front door!”
“Fynn had a fantastic time. We loved receiving the daily photo updates and they really paid attention to all of Fynn’s needs and we felt that he was in very good hands! We would send him back for future holidays! Thanks again!”

I would 110% recommend Demi and will absolutely look to them again in the future!”

About: I have cared for dogs since I was 11 years old and currently have a two-and-a-half-year-old Cockapoo in the UK. Alongside caring for my own dog, I have experience looking after both small and large breeds, as well as raising cats and rabbits in my home country. Dogs staying with me will enjoy daily visits to the nearby park, with at least two 30-minute walks or play sessions each day. With the owner’s permission and where it is safe, they can also enjoy off-lead play. I am patient, attentive and always take the time to understand each dog’s individual personality and routine, treating every pet as part of my own family. I believe every dog deserves to feel safe, loved and at home while their family is away. I am a PhD student with a flexible schedule, and my partner is at home full-time, so dogs staying with us will have plenty of company, attention and supervision throughout the day. Our usual routine includes three outdoor trips at around 9 am, 3 pm and 8 pm, with walks, playtime, sniffing and games of fetch in the large park just two minutes from our home. Between walks, dogs are free to relax, play and spend time with us at home. We also do our best to follow each dog’s usual feeding, walking and sleeping routine, so they can settle in quickly and feel comfortable and at home. We live in a spacious two-storey house with plenty of room for dogs to relax, play and move around comfortably. A large park is only a one-minute walk from our home, making regular exercise and outdoor time easy. Dogs are not routinely kept in crates, although we can follow their usual crate routine if requested. All guest dogs are welcome on the sofa, and dogs under 30 kg may sleep on the bed with the owner’s permission. We carefully follow all care instructions and make sure every dog is well supervised throughout their stay. I also keep detailed records of your dog’s daily routine and wellbeing, including their meals, walks, toilet habits, mood, behaviour and any other important changes, so you can easily keep track of how they are doing. Regular photo and video updates are provided throughout the stay, together with detailed status updates, so you’ll always know your dog is safe, happy and having fun. Photos are shared in a way that allows owners to easily view and save them as lovely memories of their dog’s stay.
“Lauren looked after our Cocker Spaniel Odie for a weekend. We were sent regular photo updates and Odie clearly looked very settled and happy with Lauren and her dog Hugo. Thanks again Lauren, we would definitely send Odie again!”
