“Ana was extremely helpful and flexible with looking after our newly rescued greyhound, Kiki. Ana stayed in with Kiki, walked her, fed her, provided plenty of photos and kept Kiki very happy. We will be using Ana again next time we are in the area”

“Lily was the 1st person to look after our 1 year old cockapoo aside from friends and family and I couldn't have been more happier! I would recommend Lily to anyone who needs a dog sitter! She is very calm and kind and I know Bramall was left in the best hands for us to go out to a family party! Highly recommend. Thankyou Lily ?”

“It’s clear that Jane loves cats! Her communication was brilliant from the start, she really put us at ease. She is a great fit for our cat Bluebell, and sent lots of photos and updates, and we could see that Bluebell was relaxed and happy, which was wonderful. She arrived & left at the agreed times, and the house was left immaculate. Bluebell is looking forward to us going away again, so she can get more fuss from Jane 😂❤️ Thanks again for taking such good care of our fluffy girl!”

I never use retractable leads unless specifically requested, and I never allow off-leash play in unfenced public spaces.Home Security: During drop-in visits, I treat your home with the utmost respect.

About: I’ve had dogs all my life and regularly look after pets for friends and family. I’m comfortable caring for all breeds, from young puppies to older dogs, and I’ll make sure your dog is safe, happy, and well looked after while you’re away. I work from home so am available mornings, lunchtime and evenings from 5pm onwards.

About: Welcome to The Home and The Hound - luxury, home-from-home dog boarding in a warm family environment. Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them is something that comes very naturally to me. Over the years, I’ve gained a lifetime worth of hands-on experience with pets of different breeds, ages, temperaments and needs, including through fostering for local charities as well as boarding. Growing up I have always had family pets - both cats and dogs and until a couple of years ago, had our own lovely dog, Bella. All this has given me valuable experience with everything from playful, energetic pups to more nervous dogs who need extra patience, reassurance and a gentle approach. I understand how important it is to feel completely confident when leaving your dog in someone else’s care… My aim is to provide a calm, loving and reliable home where your dog will be treated like one of the family, with plenty of comfort, affection, playtime, countryside walks and one-to-one attention. Every dog is different, so I always take the time to understand their usual routine, personality, likes, dislikes and any special requirements, and replicate these as much as possible le throughout their stay. Whether your dog loves cuddles on the sofa, quiet companionship, enrichment games or long walks, I’ll do my best to make sure they feel safe, settled and truly at home. Your house rules are our house rules when your pet stays with us. I have many customers who are willing to provide direct, independent and glowing references. I’m so excited to welcome your pup into our family home. My priority is always to make sure both dogs and owners feel happy, reassured and well cared for from the moment they arrive until the moment they go home. I work from home in Swadlincote, so pet care fits naturally into my daily routine and I’m around throughout the day to give dogs plenty of company, attention and reassurance. Dogs staying with us will be part of our normal family home life, with time for walks, garden breaks, play, rest and cuddles. Whilst I will always remain the sole carer looking after your pets while they stay with us, my husband is a Head of Year at a local secondary school, so during school holidays - often peak boarding times - there is even more time, attention and hands-on help at home. Our two children, who are very ‘pet savvy’ through the experience of us fostering pets for several local charities over the years, also enjoy being part of our gentle, dog-loving family environment. I aim to offer two walks a day of between 20 & 60 minutes, depending on your dog’s usual routine, age, energy levels and preferences. We also love visiting secure dog fields for safe, enriching walks and playtime. Meals times will follow your home routine and requests. Your house rules are our house rules when your pet stays with us I offer a safe, calm and loving home-from-home environment with no pets of my own. For this year, I’ll only be boarding one dog, or one household of dogs, at a time, so your dog will receive dedicated one-to-one care and personalised attention throughout their stay. Dogs will always be supervised when using our fully secure, fenced garden, and I will follow your guidance closely around feeding, walks, sleeping arrangements, routines, training cues and any special requirements. I understand how important it is to feel reassured when leaving your dog, so I’ll do everything I can to help them feel safe, settled and loved. Your dog will be welcomed into our family home and cared for with patience, kindness and consistency, just as I would want for my own, and you will be provided with regular photo and video updates throughout their stay with us.

“Jayne and Brian stayed at ours for the first time looking after our dog Willow. Jayne sent regular updates with photos, which was wonderful and made us feel very much at ease, as we could see that Willow was having a great tine with them. Jane and Bryan are lovely trustworthy people and we can't recommend them highly enough. In fact, we have our next booking with them already in the calendar!”

About: Having had dogs throwing life and having had my own for the past 10years and been a regular sitter for those of friends and family too I love the joy that a dog can bring to you home and your life overall. I really enjoy the time out and the mindfulness of walking a dog and in the comfort and care you get from them in return when chilling at home afterwards. Although full time employed I routinely work from home and a can adapt my day to suit the potential needs of any booking. I can work remotely while dog sitting in your home or arrange to walk your dog as part of my days routine. I would consider being your dog into my own home if they are sociable and gel with my own cocker poo Martha. I am caring and considerate and would respect your home as my own if caring for you dog in your own home. I would follow all instructions given. If bring them to my home I have a securely fenced garden should the care be in my own home. I also know of many wonderful walks int he area that are safe and dog friendly.

About: I'm a dedicated animal lover who treats every pet as if they were my own. I take the time to understand each pet's individual personality and routine so they feel safe, happy, and comfortable while you're away. I'm patient with nervous pets, attentive to senior animals, and happy to care for energetic puppies and kittens. Whether it's playtime, walks, feeding, medication (if needed), or plenty of cuddles, I always provide reliable, loving care and keep owners updated with regular photos and messages for peace of mind. My work is very flexible and work from home for bits which gives me plenty of time to take care of your pets when they need walking, giving them attention and playing with them, letting them out for potty and feeding them. I listen to what you do in your home and respect those boundaries that are set up example pets not allowed on furniture I will respect those rules.

About: I have lots of experience looking after animals. I have sitted dogs overnight and in the day many times. And I absolutely love it! I have experience with different types of dogs. I work part time, so I have a lot of free time to spare, and I would love to spend this with animals! I am vegan and have been for nearly 6 years. Whatever your rules are I will follow, giving pets the love and care that they deserve. Making sure they are safe in their environment! They won’t want me to leave!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was young, and friends, neighbours and family regularly rely on me to walk, feed, bathe and play with their pets. I run my own pet care business, so I’m experienced with all temperaments, routines and needs. Your pet will always get patient, attentive and loving care. I currently work part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility for pet care throughout the week. I’m available for drop-ins and walks most weekdays after 2pm, with full availability on weekends. I always make time to give pets proper attention, play and companionship — never rushed visits. I prioritise safety and comfort in every home I visit. I follow each pet’s routine closely, keep owners updated with photos, and ensure fresh water, clean spaces and supervised play at all times. I’m calm, confident with all breeds, and treat every pet as if they were my own.

“Jordan looked after our dog reactive rescue Staffie Daisy at our house for the day while we were out at work and we would definitely recommend her. Daisy immediately liked Jordan (as did we!) and had a lovely day cuddled up on the sofa with her and out on her lunchtime walk. Jordan paid close attention to our training, which is always important to us given Daisy's reactivity and we felt confident leaving her (and our house) in Jordan's care. A meet and greet was easy to arrange and communication was great when booking the date of sitting. We will definitely be asking her to sit again and I'm sure Daisy is looking forward to a repeat visit!”

About: I have owned a dog all my adult life and come from a family of dog lovers, we have all different breeds and sizes which as a family we all care for together, we often meet up and socialise them together. Having had dogs myself I have cared for them from puppy to their final years. I have 2 Frenchies and a cat of my own, after recently being made redundant I decided to work for myself dog walking as I love Dogs, walking, and understand the stress this takes on working dog parents. I offer a free meet up for all new dogs and complete a questionnaire to understand your pets specific needs. I offer a variety of walking services all listed on my website.
