“Max had a brilliant few days stay with Kirsty. She took him on lovely country walks, played with him in the garden, provided loads of stimulation, looked after him as if he were her own, snuggled with him, and coped with his boundless excitability and energy. We cannot thank her enough for providing a real home from home and looking after him so well. We were provided with loads of great photos of Max and lots of updates about what he was up to and how he was. We would not hesitate to thoroughly recommend Kristy’s services, and will definitely be back again next year.”

She was easily able to follow our dogs routines ( medication, allergy accommodations, specialized diets) and provided us with cute pictures and updates every day. She was so communicative and our dogs loved playing in the backyard and being part of her pack! We feel so much more comfortable going on vacations now, knowing they are in Amy’s care.”

Joanna was very switched on to the habits and routines of my dog and I was confident that I was leaving her in good hands. Joanna was also very flexible with drop-off and pick-up times.”

About: I am a young, fit individual who loves going on walks and spending time with animals🐾🏔️☺️ I can provide daily visits for dogs (or cats), dog walking, doggy day care or at times overnight boarding! For overnight boarding the dogs are allowed on the sofa, and there are lots of toys and balls to play with here too☺️ I have had dogs my whole life, starting with labradors and now border terriers. My own dog Teddy has a diagnosis of epilepsy so I am able to manage dogs with medical conditions well. I have access to a car and can drive to any appointments🚘 If my availability doesn’t suit, don’t hesitate to send a request or message anyways and I will see what I can do. My partner often helps me too if I am unavailable🥰 I currently work full time through a shift schedule. However I often have spare time on my hands during days off on which I would love to go a walk or help out other dog owners. I can also provide overnight boarding for well behaved, socialised dogs. When in someone else’s home I will respect any instructions given to me. I can bring my own dog on walks (if wanted) to keep company.

He made time to meet with me and Frankie before I went away, which was really reassuring as I struggle with leaving my little one behind.

About: Having grown up on a farm, I'm lucky enough to have looked after animals of all shapes and sizes. In addition to my own lovely old Jack Russell I have a small holding which has approx 20 acres of deer fenced land where dogs can scamper about with out worry of getting out. I am dog first aid qualified, fully licenced and insured and here waiting for your dog to join us for their holiday while you enjoy yours! I work part time so only board dogs when I am off and free to give them plenty of walks and attention! When I'm home , I'm always out and about either walking my own dog or up at the fields tending to my other animals. I'm very flexible and easy going when it comes to caring for your dog. Furniture, beds, or crates...whatever they are used to they will get. All I ask in return is a house trained, fully vaccinated friendly dog who will be happy to share our space and get along with my very friendly old Jack Russell. Prior to overnight visits we do require a trial session, either a day or overnight stay to ensure your dog is going to be happy and settled with us.

About: I have always grown up with animals in the house, particularly dogs. They're a part of the family. I qualified as a veterinary surgeon in 1997 and currently work as a veterinary acupuncturist. I worked in small animal practice for many years so animals and in particular dogs have, and always will be a very big part of me and my life. Due to family commitments I am unable to commit to the responsibility of a dog full time right now but I have lots of free time every day to care for your pet and enjoy walking in any weather. There are many varied walks available nearby from grassland to woods to beaches. Every pet that stays or visits will benefit from enrichment to their environment which includes scatter feeding, lickimats and sniff-aris (to name a few!) I can provide a variety of services depending on your needs - dog boarding, doggy day care, dog walking and drop in visits. I also provide care for cats and small furries. New owner/pet bookings will benefit from £15 off their first booking by clicking on this direct profile link https://www.rover.com/sit/kirsth40895 and entering the promotional code KIRSTH40895. I look forward to meeting you and your pets :) I currently work part time and have plenty of free time to offer professional individually tailored care for your pets. I offer small animal boarding, small animal daycare and dog walking on a daily basis, 7 days a week. I am available to house sit and care for your small animal/s but I am limited to weekends unless by prior arrangement. I am a qualified veterinary surgeon so your pet will be in very safe hands. During your small animal's visit or stay they become part of my family and will be treated as such.
