About: I have always been in a home full of dogs from a young age, training & caring for multiple breeds of dogs over the years. I have 3 terriers of my own aged 1, 4 & 8. One is blind, they are well trained but spoilt as my dogs are like family to me and yes they do come to bed ha. I am happy to cater for all your dogs needs & individual requirements, walking, cuddles, play time and sticking to their routine & boundaries you have set for them is very important to me. I am a regular dog boarder and happy to come out to your home for visits & dog walks if you prefer. All my own dogs are neutered. I only accept fully vaccinated dogs up to date with worming & flea treatments. I work full time but I am home 3 days a week and have my own dogs visited during the day on the two days I am in the office. I walk my dogs twice a day, we have regular playtime and weekends are for four legged adventures. I have a large property with plenty of garden and yard space to run around in. My dogs have the run of the house but your pet who is boarding at my home will be catered for as per its individual needs, dogs will be in separate rooms for night time arrangements and if left for short periods. If I agree to have your dog I will ensure they are my priority for the duration of their stay & provide you with regular updates. We have lovely countryside around us so off road walking will be available for your pet to enjoy.

“Flynn had a fantastic time with Joy and her family in their lovely home. It was great to receive pictures and updates of his day. He had a lovely time. Joy and her husband are very attentive and ensure they cover everything regarding your pets needs. I'd fully recommend to anyone.”


“Hannah is a responsible person and we felt comfortable leaving our puppy with her. She looked after him very well, and Toby was very happy around her. Would definitely book again.”


About: I have had pets for over 13 years especially dogs with plenty of energy so I know how much care and attention they need on a daily basis . I've also been walking my friends dogs regularly as and when they need me to drop in to them at short notice. I'm currently working part time so i have plenty of spair time to play and walk your dog and keep them entertained throughout the day. I have a fenced off garden so your pet will be safe and secure and I always keep an eye on them at all times as I know they can be very sneaky at times and like to know where they are and what there doing at all times

About: I have grown up with dogs, mainly border collies who we had from puppies, who I helped with the care of such as walks and training. Then for ten years I had my own greyhound who I adopted after she retired from racing. She made it to the age of thirteen and a half before I had to say goodbye due to age related illness, and I miss her very much. I work from home, so will be around for most of the day to play and let dogs outside, and have time each morning to take them for a good walk. I have a good sized garden, with six foot fencing all round and locked gates for security. I have space in the house for a medium sized dog crate if needed, and where possible will keep to the routine your dog is used to. I do have children in the house, I can keep them separate from the dogs the majority of the time and, of course, will never leave them alone together.

“Cathryn and her family were great with Lola. Looked after her at really short notice and she clearly had a great day being walked and getting lots of cuddles. Would highly recommend!”


“Snoop had a lovely day with Kiah and she was very accommodating taking the booking last minute. She sent a video of him playing and he seems very happy since we picked him up! Thankyou for looking after him! 10/10 would recommend:)”


About: I’ve had dogs of all ages and breeds throughout my life. I have a true soft spot for senior dogs, making sure they are happy and comfortable is my goal. I recently lost my beautiful little girl, a Jack Russell and since then I haven’t felt ready, but now I feel I have lots of love to give to doggies that need it and I would love to help! Pop me a message and we can have a chat! I’m a full time stay at home mum to one. So my days are very flexible. At all times there can be a person at home if that is needed for your pet. Walks are also very flexible, along with check ins. I am flexible and happy to make accommodations where I can! I have a fully fenced off garden and I live on a very quiet estate with multiple walking routes available on or off terrain. I have a gate on my kitchen door which can be used if needed to separate the doggies without fully shutting the door as I don’t like to leave them alone! I am also happy to accommodate crates if that’s what your fur baby is happy in. :)

“I was really happy to have Alicia look after our 7 month old puppy. She found out all about her in advance and really put me at ease. Luna came home happy and relaxed after a day of fun. We will definitely book Alicia again in the future.”

About: Hello👋 I’ve always had a deep love and respect for animals, especially cats and dogs. Spending time with them genuinely makes my day brighter—whether that’s going for long walks, a jog in the park, or just enjoying a quiet evening curled up together. I believe animals deserve attention, patience, and kindness. I work from home, which means I’m very flexible and can easily fit in multiple walks, play sessions, and cuddle breaks throughout the day. My schedule allows me to step away from my desk whenever your pet needs attention—whether that’s a morning walk to start the day, a midday stroll to burn off some energy, or an afternoon playtime in the yard or living room. Because I’m home all day, your pet wouldn’t be left alone for long stretches, and I can adapt to their routine and energy levels. I genuinely enjoy taking breaks to bond, play, and care for animals—it keeps both me and them happy, active, and relaxed When caring for pets in my home, I make sure they feel comfortable and safe by keeping a calm, welcoming environment and following their usual routines as closely as possible. I provide plenty of playtime, walks, and quiet cuddle time, depending on what they enjoy.

About: I work from home full time which means your dog would get my undivided attention and walked at least twice a day (if needed). Have had my own dog 5 years, have previously fostered and often look after my brothers Vizsla. Walks are usually lunch times and evenings unless it’s too hot in which case they will be early mornings and late evenings. Plenty of different walks to choose from in the local area. Dogs will have free rein of the house, allowed on sofa and beds to ensure feel at home. Garden is secure with a bolted gate.

About: I’ve cared for animals since I was young, and I have always been passionate about their health, mental well-being, and nurturing to ensure they have the best quality of life. I work primarily from home, typical office hours, and have a flexible schedule to be able to work around the needs of dogs walking & feeding schedule. I have a fenced garden, and the park is nearby for long walks or quick toilet breaks. Flexible regarding the doog's feeding & walking schedule

About: My partner and myself do the dog sitting together, we look after alot of our friends dogs over night. We both love animals, they will be looked after very well and will have plenty of walks and cuddles and play time in the comfort of our home. My partner is at home all the time so they will never be on there own. They will get plenty of walks, love, play and cuddles. We live in a semi detached property, and have a lovely big garden. it's very cosy, no need for crates at bedtime, they have the freedom to go in any room :)

About: I have grown up with dogs all my life and love looking after the family’s animals, just can’t commit to a full time doggo with my career as I travel, but work from home otherwise 😊 I work from home and love the outdoors and have a good size garden. So walks outside are a good distraction from the laptop! More than happy for sofa doggos too 😊 I live on my own, so the doggo can have free rein of the sofa if they like! I have grown up with dogs and rescue dogs so happy to look after any 😊
