“Lucy was an excellent boarder for my dog - very warm and welcoming, regularly provided updates and was great at handling his initial fears when interacting with larger dogs. Would highly recommend and would rebook for my next boarding session”
“Ana was brilliant with our elderly dog Rico. She doesn't have a garden which I knew when booking. She took him out for regular breaks and sent me lots of updates and photos. Thank you Ana!”
“Norris loved his stay! He was a bit scared of the husky’s at first, but he settled really quickly then had a great time! He loved how active the house was, and he’s come home for a rest 😄”
“I highly recommend Carly and her lovely family. I contacted her at short notice to request an overnight stay for my French Bulldog. Communication was excellent - Carly sent message/photo updates to put my mind at rest. Lovely to now have a local, trustworthy dog sitter. Thank you Carly and family 💗”
“Angela was excellent and I was so reassured about leaving my dog Ruben with her. I received daily updates on him and as a result of my experience, have booked Angela for other dates during 2026 when I am away from home for work.”
“Bronn was great with Shelby from the beginning and Shelby loved his time with her and the other dogs. She would send us photos everyday so we could see that everything was going great and she administer all the medicines Shelby needed during that time. We booked her in the very last minute and she saved our holidays. Thank you very much!”
“I am so happy we used Daria to look after our Cockerpoo for 2 weeks. She kept us updated daily with photos and messages so that we know exactly what was going on which really put our minds at rest. Our dog had such a great time with Daria's 2 French bulldogs. So much fun in fact home may be a bit boring for her now! :). She was also able to administer her ear treatment which was a must. Its obvious that Daria loves dogs and took such excellent care with ours and we definitely use her next time we go away. Thank you Daria for looking after our dog in such a safe and fun atmosphere. Highly recommended.”
“Pitcha took great care of Frisco and kept us well updated throughout his stay. It was great to see he had an amazing time with Bacon, and has come home a very happy and tired pupper 😀”
“Absolutely amazing service. Rachel and her family were absolutely fantastic and treated Bruce like their own whilst we were on holiday. We were so relaxed (we don’t normally relax when leaving him with our families!) Cannot thank them enough and will 100% book again - Thank you Rachel X”
About: Hi, I’m Dani, founder of Ruby Pet Services and a devoted mum of two (plus one loyal German Shepherd and one beautiful cat!). Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I grew up surrounded by pets and farm animals, and caring for them has always come naturally to me. A few years ago, I began volunteering at a local cat rescue, which inspired me to turn my passion into a fully licensed professional pet care business. I am fully licensed, insured and DBS checked, giving clients complete peace of mind. I have completed certified training in: • First Aid for Cats & Kittens • Advanced First Aid for Dogs & Puppies • Behaviour Training Your pets are cared for with both genuine love and professional knowledge, ensuring their safety and wellbeing at all times. I offer dog boarding, day care, dog walking, home visits and pet sitting. Dogs in my care enjoy a structured, safe, home-from-home environment with close supervision and plenty of enrichment. My cat is kept completely separate from any dogs staying for boarding or day care, ensuring a calm and secure environment for everyone. I’m proud to already have a number of regular clients who trust me with their pets, and I’m now welcoming new customers as my business continues to grow. Reliable, compassionate and truly animal-focused, I treat every pet as if they were my own, with patience, understanding and plenty of cuddles. I would love the opportunity to meet you and your furry (or feathered!) family members. Please feel free to get in touch with any questions or booking enquiries. My Schedule: Dog Boarding: Available anytime – flexible to suit your schedule. Walks & Drop-In Visits: Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Sunday: Flexible around school hours. Tuesday: Available during the day; unavailable Tuesday evenings. Saturday: Available before 10am and after 2pm. I treat every pet like they’re part of my family. Whether it’s a long walk, a playful game, or a cozy cuddle, I make sure each animal feels safe, loved, and happy while in my care. I pay close attention to their individual needs, routines, and personalities, and I’m always ready to offer comfort, companionship, and positive reinforcement. With my experience in dog behaviour, training, and pet first aid, you can trust that your furry friend is in capable, caring hands.
“We couldn't be happier or thank Jason (& partner and fabulous dog) enough. Jason took care of our dog for a couple of days while we attended a family wedding. Beforehand he made sure that absolutely everything was in place to make our dog feel settled, safe and happy. Our dog had fun on walks, swimming, playing, etc. and she loved Jason's own dog who is beautifully trained, friendly and a wonderful companion for a dog on a trip away from home. The care taken of our dog and the fun she had was above the service you would expect. We cannot recommend Jason highly enough and when we collected our dog, it looked as though she would give the same review!”
“Teddy had a great time with Candi sure he didn’t want to come home. Had lovely regular updates whilst away and so pleased to see teddy mixing with other dogs. Sure it has been great holiday for him too”
“Eleanor was brilliant with our Staffy, Peggy. Peggy had a great week with her and her family, she enjoyed lots of cuddles and also enjoyed all the sticks she could find in the very extensive woodland that is out the back of the house! Eleanor kept us updated with how Peggy was and managed the medication she has everyday without any issue. Overall very pleased to have found her and would recommend for dog boarding.”
“Our usual dog sitter has moved away too far so found Alisha on here. So glad we found her! Luna and Murphy have got on soo well. She’s very playful and full on and Murphy is so chilled and accepts her. Alisha was so good when meeting Luna and Luna instantly liked her. She can be a bit funny with men but also instantly liked Alisha’s husband, Dan. Really appreciated Alisha doing a meet and greet and having Luna for a free daycare to ensure Luna was comfortable. She’s also helped to work on Luna’s recall and heel walking. Would definitely recommend Alisha and will use her as our sitter now!”
“Vanessa is a great and ovely dog carer, the drop off went really well, she sorted Milo sleeping bed next to her two lovely dogs and made Milo feel welcomed straight away and totallyat home! She kept us informed every day of Milo’s days with cute photos and videos and reassured us he was doing great. We will definitely use Vanessa again thank you for taking care of our little rascal and making him one of the family!”

“Absolutely amazing! What a lovely lady! We used to leave our cats in a cathotel and when we would return they wouldn't be very happy, it would take a few time to come around to us! With Sharon popping in, its a huge difference. They are so just so happy when we come home. They are so well looked after and she sends so many updates. She's the best!”
“Fatima has been amazing. I have bad piece of mind like never before and been able to to unwind and enjoy Christmas with my family. Great check-ins has been both fun and reassuring and the service has been complete value for money for me”
About: I’ve looked after my neighbours’ cats for several years and have experience feeding, playing with, and checking on them while their owners are away. I also use to have my own cat, so I’m very familiar with daily care, behaviour, and making sure cats feel loved and safe.
“My cats absolutely loved her! One of them is usually very timid and takes a long time to warm up to new people, but he was surprisingly comfortable and even playful around her. It was clear that she has a natural connection with animals and made them feel safe and at ease. We were thoroughly impressed and very satisfied with her service. She went above and beyond to ensure our pets were happy and well cared for.”
“Sarah looked after our two cats and immediately struck up a lovely relationship with them both, especially the very wary 8 year old who very quickly was sitting on her lap in respect of which we received daily photographs. A very confidence giving couple of days for them snd us.”
“Absolutely brilliant, thankyou so much. While we was away our cat brought a live bird in our house. Joanne got rid of the bird and cleaned up after it. Sent us loads of photo and great updates on our cats. We would 100% book again. Thankyou again.”
“Hannah is an amazing catsitter! Gracie is initially wary of new people but Hannah really took her time to let Gracie get to know her at her own pace. They were great friends by the end of the visits. Hannah provided detailed updates and I arrived home to a very happy cat”
About: I have taken care of a variety of dog breeds for the majority of the my teenage years, into adulthood. This has given me the opportunity to work with a variety of temperaments and makes me easily adaptable to being around different dogs, with confidence. I have had many dogs too - a Dalmatian, border collie, Labrador, pug, husky, and English pointer, only adding to my love for any breed of dog, big or small 🐶❤️ I’m able to fit sits in on specified days, depending on my other work commitments. I keep my calendar up to date with my latest availability for sits. I have a fenced, decent sized garden, a separate conservatory used as a ‘dog room’ with a sofa and lots of sunshine for the cooler months where my own dogs love to bask in the sun and relax. I have 3 friendly dogs too.
About: Have professionally worked with dogs since I was 15 and have had pets my whole life. I have pet first aid and animal care qualifications, so you know your pets are in safe hands I currently run my own dog walking business called Barktastic Beasts dog walking and would love to help more owners with their pets from big to small I love them all. I only offer hour long walks I love to get to know the pet and their usual routines so I can follow their usual day to day activities with extra attention and playtime I only offer hour long walks
“Felicitas is amazing! She’s just stayed at our house looking after our cat Rio whilst we’ve been away and just like the first time she looked after Rio - we had a great experience. Felicitas truly loves animals and during the first house sitting she spent time getting to know Rio and helping him to feel comfortable with her - even bringing toys to entertain him - all of which contributed to him being completely relaxed around her from the start of the second sitting - which for Rio is unheard of! Felicitas sent lots of photos and kept us updated on how he was doing, and left the house spotlessly clean. Couldn’t recommend enough!”
About: I have had family dogs from the age of 7 and have had dogs my whole life, I have had experience of many types of breed as well, we also look after our neighbours dogs when they need us to. I currently work from home so have plenty of time through the day as my hours are flexible, this enables us to be on hand all day, I can work from anywhere with WiFi so happy to care for your dog at your own home. We have a fenced garden with plenty of room for dogs to play, we also live very close to a number of walking routes which are great for dogs
“Darcey enjoyed Imogen's pop in. Thank you so much for playing ball with her in the garden ❤️ She loves company and attention. She looks forward to your next visit. Have no hesitation in recommending Imogen to look after your pets.”
About: I've always had a dog at home, ever since I was a child. I am a lucky owner of two beautiful, friendly French Bulldogs. I have the experience in taking care of various breeds. Took care of Labradors, Westies, Basset Hounds, Toy Poodles, Pomeranians, Yorkie, Chihuahuas, Golden Retrievers, Cavaliers, Spanish Water and Cocker Spaniels, Staffies and many others. I'm used to different breeds and understand different temperaments, and have the patience to bond with all dogs of different shapes and sizes, adjusting to their personality to fit their needs and ensuring that their time spent with me is amazing. I live in a house with a big fenced garden, close to a big park. Therefore, your pet will never be starved of exercise or fresh air, in fact, it will probably be bored of so much playing! As I mentioned... I could live without people, but not without dogs. Also, I'm certified in Pet First Aid & CPR. I work from home, with very flexible schedule hence always have time for a nice long walk. And I'm available for belly rubs all day long :D I have a big, fenced garden and two friendly French bulldogs who will keep your fur baby entertained. I make sure to feed dogs separately, so it doesn't create any tension between them.
About: I have had experiences with cats! I have been relied on my by my friends, family and neighbours to care, play and take good care of their cats! Do let me know if there is anything i can do to make their stay that extra bit nicer!

About: Over the years, I’ve gained valuable experience caring for pets by looking after my friends’ animals while they were on holiday and by house-sitting my friends’ parents’ two cats. These opportunities have not only deepened my love for animals but have also taught me the essentials of pet care, from maintaining feeding schedules to providing playful engagement and ensuring a clean and safe environment. My hands-on experience has equipped me with the knowledge and skills necessary to provide excellent care and companionship to pets, making me a reliable choice for anyone seeking a devoted caretaker. My flexible work-from-home schedule allows me to be highly available and attentive to the needs of the pets I care for. I am typically free during weekdays and can easily adapt to the specific routines that your pets may require, ensuring they receive consistent care and companionship. This flexibility also enables me to provide frequent updates to you about your pet’s day, giving you peace of mind while you’re away. Ensuring the safety and well-being of your pets is my top priority. I have cultivated a secure and nurturing environment in my home, where your pet will be treated with care and respect. I adhere strictly to safety protocols, including secure handling and constant supervision, to prevent any incidents. Trust is fundamental in my service, and I am committed to maintaining open communication with you, providing regular updates and photos, if requested, to reassure you that your pet is happy, healthy, and safe in my care.
“Amazing! Another wonderful day of doggy daycare under the caring wings of Rachel. Our Mira couldn’t wait to see her and Quin when we got to her place. They spent a great time playing and going on a hike. It is so wonderful to see our Mira have fun with Rachel and her lovely family. We were always updated thru photos and messages of what they were up to. We found the best doggy daycare Maidenbower has to offer. We will always trust Rachel for our daycare needs. Thank you so much Rachel! You are a treasure ❤️”
About: I’ve always been around animals and genuinely love caring for them. I have experience looking after both dogs and cats, including walking dogs of different sizes and temperaments, and providing calm, attentive care for cats in their own homes or in my own home. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, so I always take the time to get to know them and make sure they feel comfortable and safe. Whether it’s an energetic walk, a relaxed visit, or just keeping them company, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I’m reliable, patient, and attentive to detail, and I’ll always keep you updated with messages and photos so you know your pet is happy and well cared for. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine as I work from home and part-time, so I’m able to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. Dogs in my care won’t be left alone and will enjoy regular walks, playtime, and a consistent routine. I have children who are at school during the week, and they are gentle and used to being around animals. For pets that are comfortable with children, they’ll receive plenty of love and attention in a family environment. I also have a secure, fenced garden where dogs can safely relax and play. If your dog or cat prefers to stay in their own home, I’m more than happy to offer drop-in visits for feeding, playtime, and companionship, ensuring they feel comfortable and cared for in their familiar surroundings. I care for every pet as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well looked after at all times. I follow each pet’s usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding times, walks, play, and any specific care instructions, so they experience as little disruption as possible. Before any booking, I like to arrange a meet and greet so I can get to know you and your pet, understand their personality, likes, dislikes, and any special requirements. This also gives you the chance to feel confident and comfortable with me. In your home, I make sure your pet feels relaxed in their familiar environment, providing companionship, playtime, and lots of attention while respecting their space. In my home, pets are welcomed into a calm, safe, and loving environment where they’ll be supervised and included as part of the household. I’m attentive to each pet’s needs and behaviour, whether they’re energetic and playful or more shy and independent, and I always prioritise their comfort, safety, and happiness.
“Amazing, Milo enjoyed every minute with Fe and we were confident in leaving Milo for the first time in Fe's care. Thank You, you made our day away as stress free as possible.”
“Leo had an amazing time with Daria, her family and her two dogs and came home very happy. It was great that Daria kept me updated all day with lots of pictures and videos and seeing him having so much fun made me very happy ? I wouldn't hesitate to leave Leo with Daria again in the future.”

Lower energy dogs preferred but can manage medium if need be I am signed off work due to disability, but animals are my reason for getting up in the morning. My cats are the most spoilt, yet well cared for, beasties. Their needs are priority number 1 and, so will any of your furbabies. My flat is secure, and while I lack a garden, there are multiple grassy areas nearby that they can be walked to. A crate would need to be provided if that is a requirement for your pooch, but I am happy to allow any pet on my furniture. The only requirement for home-boarding is that they be cat friendly as my kitty’s safety comes first

“Felicitas has looked after Sidney twice now, once for the day, and once for a walk. She is very reliable and responsible, and Sidney absolutely loves her! She left the house in a very clean state when she stayed here for the day, and she provided me with regular updates on Sidney while she looked after him. She was very receptive to hear about his needs (which are a lot, being 11 years old now!), and she was understanding about his requirements. I would definitely recommend her, and will be using her again as a very reliable and safe pair of hands to look after my precious boy. His excitement at seeing her shows he enjoys Felicitas looking after him too!”

I am reliable, loving and committed to providing the best care possible for your dog. Please reach out if you have any questions 🐾 I am currently working full time (Mon-Weds 8-4, Thursday and Friday 9-5:30). This gives me availability in the evenings and on weekends. I am happy to accept bookings with a short notice period. In your home, I make sure to respect any rules and routines that have been set in place. It is your home, but it is also your dog’s home so I understand that a stranger could be unsettling for them. I will also research your area to locate walking areas and the emergency vets.

In my home, I provide a warm and welcoming environment where pets can enjoy plenty of playtime, and affection. I stick to their usual routines for feeding, walks, and rest so they feel secure and at ease. When caring for pets in an owner’s home, I respect their space and follow all instructions closely to maintain consistency in the pet’s routine. I make sure they get the right balance of attention, play, and rest, while also keeping the home tidy and cared for. No matter where I’m caring for pets, I treat them like part of the family and give them the same love and attention I’d want for my own. I don’t have a garden but I have a big field at the end of my road!
About: I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life and have regularly been trusted by friends and neighbours to care for their pets, including feeding, walking and general day to day care. I have my own car, so I’m able to travel locally and further if needed. I also have a flexible work schedule with plenty of time off, which allows me to accommodate last minute bookings, work commitments, or care while you’re away on holiday. We live in a cosy ground floor apartment with large fields and parks just outside, perfect for plenty of safe, enjoyable walks and outdoor time. I have flexible work schedule and lots of time off, so can fit in looking after your dogs and random times/when you need to be at work or out/on your holidays! We live in a cosy ground floor apartment and just outside we have huge fields and parks where we can go on lots of walks together
About: Hello! I'm Emma and I'm very pleased to meet you. I look forward to hearing more about you and your pets and what I can do for you! Bit about me!: I have had pets (aka furry side kicks!) my entire life and wouldn't have it any other way! In that sense I am very well-versed in the daily needs of dogs and cats and am not phased by any 'surprise' presents either. I have spent hours upon hours on hikes in the country with dogs and cuddled up on the sofa with dogs+cats - my absolute favourite places to be. Additionally, the majority of my family pets have been rescue animals, so I always remain conscious of the specific history or needs of any pets I meet, to ensure my approach to caring for them is tailored accordingly, for minimal stress and maximum waggy tails! Currently I own a handsome 7-year-old cat and then frequently visit and look after my parents' 2-year-old dog and 13-year-old cat, whom I very much class as 'my own!' They are quite the bunch of personalities and supply hours of entertainment - much to my delight. Our pets are our family and I understand how hard it is to leave them. I would be thrilled to look after your pets however you need and you can rest assured they would be loved as much as if they were my own! Please do get in touch :) I work from home Monday-Friday 9-5:30 so I am flexible to whatever you may need, including: 1. Pop-ins or dog walking before 8:30am, between 12-2pm and after 6pm 2. All-day house sit if I can work from your home 3. Overnight stays I love to go out for walks during my lunch break, and would always love some furry company! Just let me know if you have a preferred walking area too and I'd be happy to explore. I am mostly available during the week, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday, but would be open to discussing weekend trips if I am free :) Whilst at your home or out for a walk as appropriate, I would ensure that: 1. Your pet is in my sight at all times 2. Your pet's water and food (if relevant) bowl is at the right level 3. Your pet gets play time with their favourite toy! 4. Your pet's discipline routine is upheld. 5. Your dog is kept on the lead around other dogs, until it is clear everyone is safe to say hello. 6. Any 'surprises' are cleared up 7. Any muddy paws are washed 8. Lots of cuddles are given! 9. Pictures/updates are taken and sent! 10. Any special request you have is adhered to precisely, for your own peace of mind and for your pet's optimal health and wellbeing 11. Any emergency numbers (yours or your vets) are nearby and accessible.

I also have 2 big dogs and a cat so my house would be even more busy!
“Bronn walked out Frenchie for a few days while we were away on holiday. We arranged to meet a few days before our trip, along with our dog (Princess - our rescue), so we could put a face to the name and check Princess liked her! Princess was collected each day on time for her walk and was excited each day to be going out. We also received a daily report and a photo of Princess out snd about. I was a bit unsure about using a dog walker because my dog is very strong and isn’t great on a lead, but I would recommend Bronn.”

“Lucy was an excellent boarder for my dog - very warm and welcoming, regularly provided updates and was great at handling his initial fears when interacting with larger dogs. Would highly recommend and would rebook for my next boarding session”
“Ana was brilliant with our elderly dog Rico. She doesn't have a garden which I knew when booking. She took him out for regular breaks and sent me lots of updates and photos. Thank you Ana!”
“Norris loved his stay! He was a bit scared of the husky’s at first, but he settled really quickly then had a great time! He loved how active the house was, and he’s come home for a rest 😄”
“I highly recommend Carly and her lovely family. I contacted her at short notice to request an overnight stay for my French Bulldog. Communication was excellent - Carly sent message/photo updates to put my mind at rest. Lovely to now have a local, trustworthy dog sitter. Thank you Carly and family 💗”
“Pitcha took great care of Frisco and kept us well updated throughout his stay. It was great to see he had an amazing time with Bacon, and has come home a very happy and tired pupper 😀”
“Absolutely amazing service. Rachel and her family were absolutely fantastic and treated Bruce like their own whilst we were on holiday. We were so relaxed (we don’t normally relax when leaving him with our families!) Cannot thank them enough and will 100% book again - Thank you Rachel X”

“Teddy had a great time with Candi sure he didn’t want to come home. Had lovely regular updates whilst away and so pleased to see teddy mixing with other dogs. Sure it has been great holiday for him too”
“Our usual dog sitter has moved away too far so found Alisha on here. So glad we found her! Luna and Murphy have got on soo well. She’s very playful and full on and Murphy is so chilled and accepts her. Alisha was so good when meeting Luna and Luna instantly liked her. She can be a bit funny with men but also instantly liked Alisha’s husband, Dan. Really appreciated Alisha doing a meet and greet and having Luna for a free daycare to ensure Luna was comfortable. She’s also helped to work on Luna’s recall and heel walking. Would definitely recommend Alisha and will use her as our sitter now!”
“Vanessa is a great and ovely dog carer, the drop off went really well, she sorted Milo sleeping bed next to her two lovely dogs and made Milo feel welcomed straight away and totallyat home! She kept us informed every day of Milo’s days with cute photos and videos and reassured us he was doing great. We will definitely use Vanessa again thank you for taking care of our little rascal and making him one of the family!”
“T was amazing with Luna, 6 year old Jack Russell. Lots of playtime, walks and cuddles. Luna was happy and in her element with lots of fetch! T gave daily updates. Luna came home clean and washed. Would highly recommend and will be using again in the future. Thank you T! 🐾”
About: We have always had cats and dogs growing up. And have had our bella since she was 6 weeks old. I am very confident with animals and my husband actually prefers them over people I am currently a full time mum to my two young girls. We take our dog for a walk in the morning and my husband takes her in the evening. We live near lots of fields so lots of space to run around. I also have a nice size garden for regular trips outside I have a fully fenced garden with one dog of my own. She has free roam of the house when I am in and when I pop out she has to stay downstairs. Most of the time she comes with us wherever possible. I have plenty of room for a crate if your dog is crate trained. I will keep you updated with regular photos/videos and keep routine as close to home as possible.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs and had them all my life, so caring for them has always been a natural part of my day-to-day life. I’ve looked after dogs of different sizes, ages, and personalities, and I know how important it is that they feel safe, comfortable, and loved when away from their owners. I have one dog of my own, Luna, a very friendly 1-year-old rescue from Romania. I found her on the side of the road when she was just 6 weeks old while travelling and brought her back home with me. She’s gentle, playful, and loves meeting other dogs, so she’d be great company for any pup staying with us. We enjoy plenty of walks, playtime, and relaxing at home, and I’ll always make sure your dog is cared for as if they were my own. I’m happy to follow their usual routine and send updates, so you can feel completely at ease while they’re with me. I work remotely, so I’m at home throughout the day which means your dog will have plenty of company and attention. My day is flexible around walks, toilet breaks, playtime, and cuddles, so I can easily adapt to your dog’s usual routine. In the mornings we usually start with a walk and breakfast, followed by a calm day at home while I work, with regular breaks for toilet trips and a bit of play. In the afternoon we’ll get out for another walk or some time outside, depending on your dog’s energy levels, and then settle in for a relaxed evening with dinner, downtime, and lots of affection. Because I’m home all day, your dog won’t be left alone for long periods and will always have company, comfort, and supervision. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priority. I have a large, fully enclosed garden where dogs can play and explore safely under supervision. At home, I provide a calm and secure environment where dogs can relax and feel comfortable. I also have a crate available if your dog needs their own quiet space or is used to crate training, and I’m happy to follow whatever setup works best for them. I have all the essentials including food and water bowls, and I make sure everything is clean, safe, and ready before any dog stays. I’ll also follow your instructions closely to keep their routine consistent and help them settle in as easily as possible.
“Germaine was brilliant - she’ll stepped up at super short notice to help with my dog Frenchie. Great communication throughout and picked up a calm and happy dog. Really appreciated and highly recommended. Wouldn’t hesitate to book her again.”
“Karla was brilliant with our Bernese Mountain Dog, Rowdy. She kept us updated on how Rowdy was settling in, cared for her every need and was lovely to deal with. It’s clear that Karla and her partner love dogs and I would happily recommend them to anyone looking for a dog sitter. 10/10”
About: I have experience with puppies and senior dogs, from training and walking to just cuddling. I am a dog fairy godmother, welcoming all shapes and sizes. I am currently working full time which means I am available for pet care at weekends, Saturday and Sunday. Your baby will be cared for as if they were my own. I do not have a fenced garden and your pet will not be out of the house without a lead on. My own dog was fine with this and I took him for regular toilet breaks. If you dog prefers to cuddle all day, I am more than happy to do that. If your dog loves to walk 3 times a day, I am also happy to oblige. Whatever your dog wants, I am happy to help.
