About: We have looked after dogs of all sizes, from small breeds like Cavapoos to large, strong dogs like Rhodesian Ridgebacks. I’m confident handling different temperaments, energy levels, and needs — whether that’s relaxed companionship, regular walks, or more active play. We’re comfortable with feeding routines, basic training reinforcement, and making sure dogs feel safe and settled in their environment. I treat every dog like my own and always aim to give them proper attention, structure, and care. We have a flexible routine, which means we can give your dog plenty of time, attention, and care throughout the day. We’re available for, boarding, including weekdays and weekends. Your dog won’t be left alone for long periods, and we can adapt to their usual routine to keep things consistent and stress-free. We provide a calm, safe, and structured environment where your dog will feel comfortable and well looked after. We’re confident handling dogs of all sizes and temperaments and always take the time to understand their needs, routines, and any specific instructions. Although we live in a flat, we have access to a large open field and nearby river, which is perfect for walks, exercise, and giving dogs plenty of space to explore safely. We prioritise safety at all times, whether that’s secure walks, feeding routines, or supervision at home. We’re also happy to crate if needed and will make sure your dog feels settled, secure, and properly cared for.

“Bronwyn took fantastic care of Oscar. Unfortunately he was a little unwell during the day but was very well taken care of which is all you can ask for. 🙂”

About: I've owned and looked after, and been around various dogs since I was a teenager (many years ago now), including terriers, GSDs, border collies, daschunds, and labradors. I have a fun friendly and sometines aloof husky GSD mix, who loves being around other dogs.. big or small.. lounging about the house, chilling in the back garden, playinf hide sniff and seek, fetch, or a walk through the woods or a run in the field. This is a family home, and I mostly work from home, so can only offer pet care on the days I am at home. The family have a friendly dog, so walks and doggy company is guaranteed, with 1-2 hours of exercise each day. To the rear od the house there is a good sized fenced lawned garden with plenty of shrubs, bushes, trees, and shaded areas, as well as access to downstairs rooms in the house. There are always bowls of fresh water inside and outside, as well as toys to run after, find, and chew. We encourage our furry friends to chill out on dog beds and rugs instead of (human) furniture.

“Where do I even start? I sent quite a few messages to detail Lola’s needs and asked so many questions. Karen always responded very quickly, having read all the information action and sounded so calm and reassuring. Lola spent the first 2 days with Karen, Alex and Pablo and I couldn’t be happier for my baby girl. She is being made to be part of the family but is also cared for according to her needs. She returned home after a full day in Karen’s care being very happy, having zoomies 🫶🏼 Karen is extremely conscientious, caring and lovely person. She truly takes great pride in looking after my girl. Karen, I cannot thank you enough for restoring my faith in people, especially orally when it comes to looking after my baby girl. You have been godsend and we are so relieved knowing Lola is in the best home she can be when I am in the office. THANK YOU 🫶🏼”

“Booked with Chenyan for day care and we couldn't be more satisfied. She was very caring and our dog Kary had a great time - I'm sure Mae helped a lot! As it was our first try, Chenyan sent us multiple updates within the day and kept us at ease that Kary is well. Would definitely book again and recommend.”

About: Dogs have always been a large part of my world and I do love them very much. My family are from the obedience show dog world, my mother is a dog trainer, behaviourist and breeder. She has competed for Wales at Crufts in obedience, and my Aunt once won Crufts obedience once outright (Bev Hughes, Woughstock Wisdom, or Jasper for short). We had a rotating cast of 7 border collies mixed with various pet dogs, well over 25 dogs over the years, five of them my own. Our pack has included poodles, sausage dogs, a Labrador cross, a Yorky, probably about 15 Border Collies + cross breds, GSD’s, Staffies, various others and finally the only current resident, a little male Jackawowa. We believe in the highest standards of care for all dogs, this means plenty of walks, plenty of play, and plenty of cuddles. I now offer professional dog walking and pet care services to the current generation of our four legged friends, this is my main work, so I’m not spending all day on Zoom calls ignoring your dog! and your dog will get lots of exercise on our regular walks unless they don’t want that. They will be looked after in our home, allowed on the sofa and treated as part of the family. So if you would like your dog to join our small pack for expert care on a temporary or permanent basis, get in touch. Please note: • While I’m happy to consider most dogs, I do not board, day care or group walk aggressive dogs. However, I can offer 1 to 1 walks for some smaller breeds and help with desensitisation. • I’m happy to refer you for larger dogs—there’s always a way forward, don’t give up! • I only board small females that are neutered or not more than four months past their last season, as my own dog is an intact male. If you’re unsure about suitability or have any concerns, feel free to reach out—I’m always happy to discuss your dog’s needs. (You can message or call through the rover phone App by clicking my profile/tap teh 3 dots at the top/Call Catherine.) Waggy tails! Cathy I like to give my own dogs two walks a day morning and afternoon/evening, and various games and breaks in between, I'll do the same for your dog, (unless your dog is elderly or it's too hot, or by other arrangement). Plus cuddles. For those dogs that like cuddles, lots of cuddles. Dogs are looked after in the same way as my own dog is, kept inside our house when not walking, and we have a secure enclosed garden. They are allowed on the furniture.

“Joanne and her partner were amazing and super friendly, our dog Mia stayed with them for a week during working hours and she was really happy, loads of pictures and videos. She was well walked and well rested when picking her so couldn't ask for anything more. Highly recommend!!!!”

About: I have taken care of a variety of dogs from small to large over the past 10+ years - mainly for family and friends. Whether that is providing a calm space for anxious dogs, ensuring any defined training actions are kept up whilst the owner is away or providing regular walking during the day. My home has a large fenced garden for animals to explore. I am full time WFH, with a job that allows for quite a bit of flexibility! I have activities or social events in the evenings often, but these can be arranged around dogs needs and typically are around 4-5 hours in duration I have a fenced garden, however, there is a chance for large and medium size dogs to jump over the back fence! As such, I spend any time with pets outside supervised, I have a large open dining room that looks onto the garden to help with this! Additionally, I have space to crate animals if needed, however, the crate will need to be provided. Currently, there is no other pets within my home.

“I was very pleased with the care Rocco received at Amanda’s for his first day care. It was clear that she genuinely loves and understands dogs. When I collected him he was happy relaxed and clearly had a great play day. I also appreciated the regular updates and photographs which were reassuring to see him enjoying himself while I was away. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring doggy day care 🐶”

About: I've had dogs my entire life and have been around animals since childhood. Caring for pets has always been a natural part of my daily life, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with them. Over the years, I've looked after dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities for family, friends, neighbors, and coworkers. Whether it's feeding, walking, playtime, administering basic care, or simply providing companionship, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I understand that every dog has unique needs and routines, and I take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I have experience with energetic puppies, senior dogs, and dogs that need a little extra patience and attention. My goal is to give pet owners peace of mind knowing their furry family members are in caring and dependable hands. I work a flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. Whether it's walks, feeding, playtime, or just keeping them company, I make sure they get the care and attention they need. I'm available most weekdays and weekends, and I'm happy to work with your pet's usual routine to help them feel comfortable and settled. Your pet's safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I have had dogs all my life and understand how important it is to leave them with someone you trust. I have a secure fenced garden within the building where dogs can safely play and explore. I follow any feeding schedules, medication instructions, and routines provided by owners so your dog feels as comfortable as possible while you're away. If your dog is crate trained, I can accommodate that as well.

“Best stay ever. Emilia - sorry I did not send you a review or said thank you sooner. We left Maggie with Emilia for a couple of days (and nights) when I was out of the Country. Maggie loved Emilia and her beautiful house. Emilia has a sweet personality and treated Maggie with great patience and care, despite Maggie's sometimes troubled relationship with other dogs...Thank you so much!! We will definitely count on you again in the future. All the best, Sara”
