“Maria was so lovely with our dog Chester. She took excellent care of him and even brushed him and he returned smelling better than he's ever smelt in his life!! Thank you so much!”

“We do not normally leave our dog with anyone, so the thought of arranging for a stranger to have him for the day, was quite daunting initially. But we shouldn’t have worried, we arranged to meet Beatriz before the day and the actual day went without any stress. I would recommend Beatriz and would have no problem of using Rover again.”

About: Hi! I’ve had dogs and cats since I was 7 years old, so caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life. I moved from Hungary to the UK in October 2025, and after our dog left in December, the house has felt very empty without a pet around. Although I became an engineer, I always loved spending time with animals, and back home friends often trusted me to look after their cats while they were away. I’m calm, reliable, patient, and currently have plenty of free time for walks, visits, playtime, and giving your pets lots of attention and care. I work from home full-time, so I’m available for pet care all day long. I can easily adjust to your dog’s schedule for walks, playtime, meals, and cuddles. I’m also happy to do overnight boarding or weekend stays whenever needed. I have a fully fenced yard and a safe, pet-friendly home where your dog would spend most of the time inside with me. The house is calm and secure, and I can crate your dog if needed. Playtime is always supervised in the fenced garden.

About: I have had dogs since I was a child and have always had a special bond with them. I have experience caring for dogs of all ages, including playful young pups and senior dogs who need extra patience, comfort, and attention. I provide loving, reliable care and treat every dog as part of my family. I currently work from home, which allows me to have a flexible schedule and provide attentive care throughout the day. I can accommodate dog boarding during weekdays and weekends, ensuring pets receive plenty of companionship, exercise, and care while their owners are away. I provide a safe, comfortable, and welcoming environment for pets in my spacious home with a large garden where dogs can enjoy fresh air, playtime, and exercise. I also have my own friendly 3-year-old Cavapoo, Poppy, who loves having canine company and can help your dog feel happy and relaxed. I always treat every pet with care, patience, and attention, making sure they feel secure and part of the family while they are staying with me.

About: I’ve always grown up with dogs, currently have 2 British bulldogs. They are both 3 years old and one was a rescue. We will treat your dogs like our own, they can sit and cuddle us on the sofas no where is out of bounds. There is always someone home so your dogs will never be left. We walk twice a day with our dogs and the back door is always open to the garden. We have lovely walks around us with huge fields opposite and woods. I walk the dogs once in the morning and once in the evening. I have woods and fields opposite my house. I have the back door open all day so garden is always available. I have a large fenced garden. There are also gated fields opposite my house. Dogs are welcome in any part of the house. I have a big kitchen/ lounge where they can sleep with sofas.

About: My background as a professional animal trainer with 10 years of hands-on experience, including working with a wide range of species means I have a deep understanding of animal behaviour and behaviour modification. This helps me read body language, prevent issues before they arise, and support pets who may be anxious, reactive, or who struggle adjusting to new environments. I place a strong emphasis on high welfare standards and kind, ethical handling. I’m patient, calm, and consistent, and I tailor my care to each animal’s individual needs. I’m comfortable supporting young animals as they learn good habits, and providing thoughtful care for senior pets who may need a slower pace or extra consideration and everything in between. Above all, I aim to make pets feel safe, understood, and relaxed while giving owners peace of mind. We are animal care professionals with years of experience and a love for all animals. Our bungalow is enclosed and has a garden designed to be engaging for dogs and cats through paths and scents.

About: Over 20 years dog and cat experience, I'm reliable, loving and fit. Nurturing and playful with lots of time and attention to give to your dog. I'm a writer so have plenty of time to walk and care for pets. I find they curl up under my desk or on my lap while I work. In the summer they garden with me. I have a big home close to the coastal path with secure gates and CCTV. I provide a safe, loving, home from home stay. Dogs that I walk tend to want to stay with me! I only look after dogs exclusively from one family so the environment is peaceful and calm.

About: Ive taken care of my own dog (Yorkie) since I was 10, after that I’ve worked with dogs throughout collage and university. I’ve worked at a groomers, dog behaviouralist and at the vets as a student vet nurse. I can work with big and small dogs alike, with both nervous or ‚spicy’ personalities. I can walk dogs, train them, trim their nails, give them baths and brushed them out (but can’t clip or trim fur due to lack of equipment). I can administer topical, oral and injectable medications and know how to look after puppies, sick / injured, or geriatric dogs. I’m currently working part-time as a bartender (Friday and Saturday nights, and the occasional mid week night shift), so I’m available all week during the day, and most of the week over night. This may change once I find a full time position, however I’d be happy to continue services for regulars or on special occasions given prior notice. I prefer to go clients homes as that’s where the animals feel the safest, but if that’s not possible I’m able to bring animals to my home. I have a few house mates that you might cross paths with that don’t mind animals in the house. I have a big living room, which is where we’d spend most of the time (outside of walks and sleep) and I have a very small garden, however it’s too small to be comfortable long term. During nights, I’d bring the pets up to my room and either put them in a kennel if provided and requested by owner, or will allow them to sleep on my bed (if owner permits). While taking care of cats, they would be kept indoors at all times unless leashed walks are requested, and I’d require the owner to provide a harness, cage or kennel for transport and safety reasons. For pick ups and drop offs, I can only provide this if you are within walking or public transport distance and my main mode of transport is not suitable for pets.

“Laura was great with Digby she picked him up as arranged and looked after him very well , he seemed very happy with her care so would recommend Laura”
