“This is the first time our cookie has gone to a sitter and Clare was amazing with him. I knew as soon as I met her he was in safe hands. Was sent updates and pictures which was nice and meant we could relax and enjoy our son’s wedding. Thank you Clare”
“Monica is an excellent dog carer, always updating us about our lovely doggo, and she answered my messages pretty fast with pictures as well. She is a lovely person and Lola had a great time with her. I highly recommend Monica.”
“We have just collected Millie from her 3 week break with Marie and Brian and she’s had a thoroughly lovely time! From the initial meet and greet it was clear that Marie and Brian were experienced dog lovers and immediately gave us confidence leaving our lively 18 month old westie, Millie. They both took on all of Millie’s quirks and went above and beyond to make her stay relaxed and fun by receiving real affection, play and thoughtful attention. Millie has been cared for so well and had so much love shown towards her that she didn’t seem to want to come away! Marie gave us lots of updates and pictures of the fun things that Millie had been up to and it really helped us relax in the confidence that she was being so well cared for, along with lots of cuddles along the way too! Thank you so much Marie and Brian for treating Millie like your own and giving us total peace of mind. We would thoroughly recommend Marie and Brian and hope they will be available for our next holiday.”

About: I have been around dogs ever since I was a baby. My nan cared for retired guide dogs for around 20 years, so I developed a strong love and adoration for dogs. My family has owned 2 dogs since I was a child, sadly our last dog passed away 2 years ago and my family and I have felt like a part of us has been missing ever since. No dog could replace our sweet Lionel, he was the most special dog ever, but I decided to start up a dog boarding business as a way to still surround us with dogs. I have looked after friends and family’s dogs many times as favours before I started my business and that’s what really pushed me to have the confidence to do this as a job. If you choose to have me as your dog boarder, you can be assured that your dog will be treated like family and will be given so much love and care. I am available everyday of the week as this is my sole job. I do volunteer most mornings of the week, however I live in a house of 6 people so it is very rare that no one is home. I am fully licensed by Southampton City Council, so my house and garden have been completely approved and catered to suit dog boarding. I also have a Canine First Aid certification, full insurance and DBS checked.
“Mea and family were very welcoming with Mace and put us at ease straight away! We had regular updates and looked like he had plenty of fun there. Would recommend and use again! Thanks for looking after Mace for us!”
“Daisy and Lily had a wonderful first sleepover with Natasha and Ben. It’s so comforting that my girls are happy to stay with them, and that Natasha and Ben enjoy having them 🥰”
About: Having grown up with dogs all my life, and 40 years of owning my own dogs, I can offer your dog a safe, caring and loving holiday. I have 2 Cocker Spaniels and have experience in training and breeding. I have recently retired from 40 years of being a staff nurse and now have the time to devote to caring for doggies. I have recently retired from 40 years as a nurse, so have lots of free time to walk, play and cuddle the dogs. I can offer long or short walks and am always down on Stokes Bay for walks with my dogs, come rain or shine. I have a fully enclosed fenced garden, With 2 Cocker Spaniels of my own. "Your dog's safety and comfort are my top priorities. My home is clean, secure, and dog-friendly, with plenty of space to relax and play. I make sure all hazardous items, foods, and small objects are kept safely out of reach, and dogs are always supervised during play and feeding times.l only accept a limited number of dogs at once so each pet gets individual attention and care. Walks are always done on-lead unless agreed otherwise and I follow each owner's instructions carefully regarding routines, diet, and medications. I also provide regular updates and photos for peace of mind.
“What a delightful, warm lady. Nothing was too much trouble. Kept me informed even though only had intermittent Internet. Boy clearly happy ad when we needed to return to collect his bed ge actually wanted to go back in and initially was refusing to come off the drive, even when door closed. Recommend without hesitation. Would score higher if I could”

About: My husband and I are huge animal lovers, and caring for pets is something we genuinely enjoy. We recently lost our beloved dog, Maya, who was part of our family for 17 years, so we understand how important it is to leave your pet with someone you can trust. We’re quite experienced at looking after both dogs and cats and always treat them as if they were our own. As I currently have plenty of time at home, your dog will enjoy at least two walks a day, lots of playtime, cuddles, and companionship throughout the day. We always follow your pet’s usual routine to help them feel safe, happy, and relaxed. We also have a secure, fenced green garden where dogs can safely play and enjoy fresh air. Our home is spacious, with a large living room that gives plenty of room for relaxing, stretching out, and feeling comfortable indoors. You’ll always be able to reach me, and I’m happy to send regular updates and photos so you can enjoy your time away with complete peace of mind. I also hold an enhanced DBS check for additional reassurance. We’d love to welcome your pet into our home and give them all the love, care, and attention they deserve. I’m normally a teacher, but I’m currently on my school holiday, so I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. I’m home most of the day, which means your pet will receive lots of attention, company, and regular care rather than being left alone for long periods. I can easily adapt to their usual routine, whether that’s walks, feeding times, playtime, or simply keeping them company. I know how important it is for pets to feel safe and comfortable, I always take the time to learn about their usual routine, feeding schedule, exercise needs, favourite toys, and any special requirements so I can keep things as familiar as possible. In my home, pets will have a clean, calm, and secure environment with plenty of attention and companionship. We also have a secure garden where dogs can enjoy time outside under supervision. I carefully make sure your pet stays happy, comfortable, and stress-free. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always put their safety and wellbeing first.

About: We are a married friendly couple based in Portsmouth, United Kingdom. We love to explore new places and have pets as company.

They follow a strict diet and schedule and it is a pleasure to see them everytime. We both work from home Monday to Friday 9-5 and so there can always be someone to be with your pet. We are used to walking early in the morning, at lunch time and also in the evening and so can meet the needs of your pet.

“We’ve now used Sally twice to look after our cat Peaches while we’ve been away on holiday, and we honestly couldn’t recommend her more. She takes such amazing care of Peaches, always making sure to ask about her routines, favourite toys, and what she likes so she can provide the best care possible. It’s so clear how comfortable Peaches is with her, which gives us huge peace of mind when we’re away. Sally also sends the loveliest photos and updates during every check-in, which always makes us feel relaxed and happy while on holiday. Peaches absolutely adores her, and we’re so grateful to have found someone so caring, reliable, and thoughtful to look after her ❤️”

Which is a complete relief to know someone was there for her while we went to a concert. Thank you so much Jennifer!!”
“Keighley filled in for us as our usual sitter was away and did a fantastic job. She kept us up to date with every visit and Pippi seemed perfectly content! Keighley kept her food topped up and took care of the litter tray for us, even cleaning up after Pips had an accident. Thank you so much for sitting for us, would 100% recommend to anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter!”
“Ashleigh was really great with Wotsit. She made sure that she knew all his likes and dislikes as well as coming round to meet him before we went away. She is a lovely woman and we will definitely ask her to look after him next time we go away.”

About: We all love dogs here, and dogs seem to like our relaxed house. We took a large dog that would pull your arm off, treated it like it was our child and it turned into the most loyal friend you could hope for. As myself and my husband work at different times, there is always someone at home to cater to doggie's needs. My husband goes for a walk every evening, and is missing Bruno when he does. We have a large, 30 metres, fenced in garden where dogs are free to play and run and fetch, and poop of course. And they can sleep where they are comfortable.
“Frank had the best time with Marie and Brian. Can’t thank them enough for all the updates throughout the day. They welcomed Frank like their own and he was absolutely exhausted after such a fun day 😁”
About: Hello! I'm Amanda and welcome to my dog-loving home! As a passionate dog owner I know how important it is to find a safe, comfortable, and fun place for your furry friend while you're away. I can offer years of experience and a loving home. Your dog will be treated like one of the family, enjoying: Comfortable Surroundings: Free roam of a spacious downstairs with plenty of comfy spots for naps. Secure Outdoor Space: Access to a fully-fenced, secure garden for playtime and potty breaks throughout the day. Daily Adventures: At least 1 walk per day, exploring lovely local spots. I tailor exercise levels to your dog's needs and energy! Having had Labradors and Pugs I understand the different needs all dogs have. Our family pug I’ve had since a puppy, he’s now 3 and very friendly. I also have an indoor cat who gets on with our dog. I volunteered at the RSPCA so walked many different breeds and temperaments. Lots of Love & Attention: Plenty of cuddles, playtime, and interaction are standard! I’m currently working part time from home so your dog would have company all day long. Access to the garden whenever needed. The home consists of my family of 4, 2 teenagers at college and university who have both grown up with dogs and my husband who also has grown up with dogs. I will be the sole carer for your dog even though they will be spoilt rotten by all. I have a fenced in garden and am at home all day. I can give your dog all of the attention and reassurance it needs whilst settling. I can accommodate a crate or just bedding whatever is necessary.
About: I’ve always been an animal lover and have several years of hands-on experience caring for both cats and dogs for friends and relatives, especially when they’re away. I’m comfortable with feeding, refreshing water, cleaning litter trays, walking dogs, playtime, basic grooming and keeping pets company. I understand that every pet has a different personality and routine, so I always follow the owner’s instructions closely and make sure they feel safe, comfortable and well cared for. I’m also happy to send regular photos and updates so owners can relax knowing their pets are in good hands. I work from home 2–3 days a week which gives me good flexibility for weekday drop-in visits and walks. On office days, I’m generally available in the mornings and evenings and I’m also happy to take weekend bookings. I’ll always try to work around your pet’s usual feeding, walking and playtime routine wherever possible. Your pet’s safety and comfort will always be my priority. I’ll follow any routines, feeding instructions and care requirements you provide and make sure doors, gates and windows are kept secure. During walks, dogs will be kept safely on lead unless you specifically tell me otherwise. I also understand that some animals need more space or time to settle so I’ll always introduce them to a new environment calmly and at their own pace.

About: I’ve helped friends with pet care for years. Whether it’s a long walk, playtime in the garden, or quiet cuddles at home, I’m all about making your pet feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I’m available for boarding on weekends, and free most weekdays after 2 PM for drop-ins, walks, or house sitting. Whether your pet needs playtime, a walk, or some companionship during the day, I’m happy to help and can adapt to your routine.

I don’t have a very busy lifestyle so lots of time for attention!!
“Dogs were very happy after a full day with Pauline. it was a perfect way top ensure the dogs were looked after whilst we were doing sight seeing at 'non dog friendly' sights and gave them a rest after visiting many of hampshires sights. Apologies to Pauline if they got a bit excited and pulled too much, for little cavaliers, when they want, they seem to have a lot of strength.”
About: I’m a nurse working bank shifts alongside my passion for animal care. I’ve owned reactive dogs for many years, so I understand the importance of calm handling, patience, routine and being constantly aware of surroundings while out walking. Early 5am quiet walks, off-the-beaten-track trails and avoiding stressful situations for dogs are something I’m very used to. We are a family home with children, so any dogs staying with us would need to be comfortable around children and a normal family environment. I offer gentle, reliable pet care with daily beach walks, peaceful hikes and a focus on making every dog feel safe, relaxed and happy. No other animals in the home. We only have one boarding dog at a time unless dogs come from the same house hols. I will be sole care for the dog during its stay. 5:00am – Quiet early morning walk 6:00am – Breakfast and calm rest time 8:00am – Garden play, enrichment or sniff games 10:00am – Beach walk or quiet countryside hike 12:00pm – Rest and nap time in the home 2:00pm – Toilet break and gentle play 4:00pm – Short afternoon walk or enrichment activities 6:00pm – Dinner time 7:00pm – Family time, cuddles and settling for the evening 9:00pm – Final toilet break and bedtime Our home has a fully enclosed garden and is just a 5 minute walk from the beach, perfect for calm daily walks and outdoor time. We are a relaxed family home with children, so dogs staying with us would need to be comfortable in a family environment. Your dog would not be left alone for long periods and would be treated as part of the family, with plenty of company, care, exercise and quiet time to settle and relax.
“A big thank you for looking after Loki at such short notice. Friendly welcome and Loki made himself at home very quickly. He had two walks which he would have thoroughly enjoyed. Once again, thanks so much for looking after him so well, Steven.”
About: I’ve looked after pets for 23 years, and animals have always been part of my everyday life. I live with Gizmo the pug, my permanent shadow who’s convinced my bed belongs to both of us and two cats who think they run the house. Because of that, I’m used to juggling different temperaments, routines, and a lot of personality. Friends, family, and neighbours have relied on me for walking, feeding, meds, bath time, and keeping their pets calm and comfortable. I notice the small things, keep a steady routine, and treat every dog as if they’re part of my own slightly chaotic, very loved little crew. I’m currently a SAHDM (if you know you know). I was made redundant in November so for the foreseeable my life is solely pet focussed I keep things steady, predictable, and low-stress. In my home, pets settle into a calm routine with regular walks, feeding times, and plenty of company. I have a large, secure garden for safe outdoor time, and Gizmo the pug usually acts as the welcoming committee. I manage introductions carefully so every animal feels comfortable. I supervise closely, keep spaces clean, and make sure each pet has its own quiet area to relax.
“Our little whippet can be a bit fussy, but she has taken to Caroline very quickly and has made her house a little ‘home from home’. Caroline is a natural with dogs and highly recommended by us!”
“John was great with our nervous boy. He won him round with treats and understood he needed to give him time to get used to him. By the time I picked him up he had made himself very much at home. I’d have no hesitation leaving Joey with John again and we have booked him for 10 days boarding at the end of the month.”
About: I’ve loved animals all my life and have experience caring for dogs, cats, and small pets of all ages and personalities. I grew up with pets and understand they’re part of the family. One of my most rewarding experiences was caring for my senior cat, who lived to 19, which gave me valuable experience looking after older pets. I’m comfortable with both small and large dogs, as well as cats and small animals, and I’m happy to follow any routines or care requirements. I treat every pet as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. Please feel free to reach out to me if you'd like to know more or discuss rates. Thanks I’m in the office three days a week, so I’m fully available all day on my two home days for sitting, visits, care, and walks. I also offer weekend drop‑ins and dog walks, which makes scheduling flexible for anyone who needs extra help outside the weekday routine. If you need specific times, I’m happy to work around what suits you and your pets best.

“Dotty enjoyed her first stay with Sandy and the boys. Due to a dotty being quite a nervous dog a home from home environment is much better suited for her. Sandy was fantastic with her and put us and Dotty at ease, keeping us updated during the day with photos and videos. Thank you so much!!!! ?”

“Life saver. We contacted Keighley en route to France as family members work arrangements changed and we found ourselves with a huge problem. Fortunately Keighley was able to step in and provide cover to walk and feed the dogs. Without her I think we would have had to cut short our holiday. Absolute life saver, professional and reliable. I cannot thank you enough.”
“Fabulous lady. My dog loves his daily walks with Sally (which is remarkable - because he's a grumpy dog who doesn't like anybody normally 😅)! Highly recommended by Wolfie ❤️”
About: I've grown up with cats and love spending time with dogs, and I have sat for owners of both cats and dogs. I love all animals and would be excited to look after all kinds of pets! I adapt well to the pet's needs and personality, allowing them to warm up to me naturally. I will be able to spend lots of time with your pet! I travel frequently to see my partner who lives overseas, so a regular work schedule doesn't suit my needs. That means the flexibility of pet sitting is right up my street, and is my main focus. Apart from a few hobbies, I will be spending all my time at home taking care of your fur baby! I like to learn your pet's routines and keep to them where I can to make sure they feel as comfortable as possible. I know how difficult it can be to leave your pet, so I will send messages about how the pets are getting on as frequently as you'd like. Daily pupdates are not too much to ask!

“I have been very fortunate to have found a true gem. Helena is a lovely caring person and she clearly loves what she does. She is prompt, communicative and nothing is too much trouble. The walking service Helena provides to our Cody is exactly what we had hoped for and is working well. He’s not the easiest of dogs to walk either but they appear to have fun together and long may that continue. Thank you Helena x”
“Isla loves her walks with Caroline! She always gets her energy out and Isla seems very happy when she gets home. Caroline is easy to get hold of and flexible for schedule changes. Thanks!”
“Abi was a brilliant dog walker for our elderly springer spaniel who we have never left with anyone before. Having met up beforehand we felt reassured that all would go well and Abi was a caring and confident person with dogs. She did a wonderful job and we would definitely recommend her, friendly and reliable. If we ever need help again we’ll be straight in touch! Thanks again Abi!”
“Katie is a lovely caring person and the way she talks to my dog is fantastic. He loves his walks and is so happy when she comes to visit. It's hard to trust a stranger with your animals but she is just so fantastic with them and walking dogs isn't a job it's a hobby for her.”

“"Alberto did a fantastic job with Nando's first walk! Nando came home happy and relaxed, clearly in good hands. Thanks, Alberto, for making Nando feel so comfortable and cared for. We're excited for their next walk together!"”
About: Always loved dogs. Had 2 westies myself but sadly when left my ex they stayed with them. So thought I would use this to use up some of my free time I work in events so normally work evenings but work pattern chances from time to time. Looking to enjoy time off and make some four legged companion friends too Fence garden. As well as lots of fields and beach near me for plenty of walks. As well as plenty of love and cuddles as well
About: Growing up we always had household pets, i have slept with atleast 1 cat on my bed all of my life. We always saved wildlife as my mum worked nights and used to find injured or abandoned animals and we have carried that on volunteering for several local animal causes. I have 5 horses and my own private stable yard, i have only just lost my 17 and a half year old pom who used to come with me there. At home now i have 3 cats and 2 gerbils, at the yard i have 8 rescued pigeons. Animals have taken the forefront of my life and i wish to continue my passion into everyday work. I am up early every morning. I have 3 house cats at home who are fed and fresh trays. I then go to my horses, depending on jobs for the day ill pick up some of the dogs on route to walk over my fields or pop in to any holiday pets if they are on route. I custom fit my days to make sure all needs are prioritised accordingly. Most days are the same others are well coordinated. I will always use a rear entrance if possible, to decrease risks of escaping pets. When walking dogs i follow all uk guidelines, stick to safe areas and only allow dogs off lead in enclosed settings with perfect recall. I have many long lines to allow freedom with restriction. I can have dogs on the land where my horses are which is fully enclosed.
About: I’ve been an animal lover all my life and have had had the privilege of being both a cat and dog mum. I lived in Dubai for 10 years and this is where I had my first experience of taking in 3 rescue kittens, that I went onto adopt. Then my rescue desert dog, followed by many more. They all returned with me to the UK and lived long and happy lives. I’ve also been a dog walker and cat companion for the RSPCA. Whilst I don’t have my own pets at the moment, we have many in the family that I am called on to look after. I work for myself so am able to run my own diary and I’m able to fit any pet care services around my current responsibilities. Although I don’t currently offer pet boarding services in my own home. I have a fenced garden and internal doors that allow for the front door to be separated from the main living area.
“Carole has been absolutely fantastic. She took on an extra day as we were in trouble with flights home due to strike action. She was brilliant with the dogs - that is not easy with 3 lively Springer Spaniels. They lived her. She sent me regular updates and photos so I coukd see the dogs weren't only OK, but happy. I will certainly ask her again!”
About: I'm a dog magnet, they seem to gravitate to me. I love their company and feel a house is not a home without a dog sitting next to me on the sofa. We lost our elderly dog a few months ago and he needed a lot of help as he had serious mobility issues. We have recently rescued a large male Rottweiler and we have 2 female cats who are very affectionate. All the animals get the best possible level of care, we give them everything they need to live a healthy and happy life. We live in a lovely house in a perfect location on a footpath opposite a forest.

“This is the first time our cookie has gone to a sitter and Clare was amazing with him. I knew as soon as I met her he was in safe hands. Was sent updates and pictures which was nice and meant we could relax and enjoy our son’s wedding. Thank you Clare”
“Absolutely thrilled with the care and attention Matthew gave to Stella and Carlos. In fact, they had such a great time, they were reluctant to come home! I received plenty of lovely photos and updates. I would not hesitate to recommend!”
About: I have been around dogs ever since I was a baby. My nan cared for retired guide dogs for around 20 years, so I developed a strong love and adoration for dogs. My family has owned 2 dogs since I was a child, sadly our last dog passed away 2 years ago and my family and I have felt like a part of us has been missing ever since. No dog could replace our sweet Lionel, he was the most special dog ever, but I decided to start up a dog boarding business as a way to still surround us with dogs. I have looked after friends and family’s dogs many times as favours before I started my business and that’s what really pushed me to have the confidence to do this as a job. If you choose to have me as your dog boarder, you can be assured that your dog will be treated like family and will be given so much love and care. I am available everyday of the week as this is my sole job. I do volunteer most mornings of the week, however I live in a house of 6 people so it is very rare that no one is home. I am fully licensed by Southampton City Council, so my house and garden have been completely approved and catered to suit dog boarding. I also have a Canine First Aid certification, full insurance and DBS checked.
“Mea and family were very welcoming with Mace and put us at ease straight away! We had regular updates and looked like he had plenty of fun there. Would recommend and use again! Thanks for looking after Mace for us!”
“What a delightful, warm lady. Nothing was too much trouble. Kept me informed even though only had intermittent Internet. Boy clearly happy ad when we needed to return to collect his bed ge actually wanted to go back in and initially was refusing to come off the drive, even when door closed. Recommend without hesitation. Would score higher if I could”
“Courtney was absolutely fabulous! So attentive to Theo while we were away for a few days. We received regular updates and he seemed to be very happy and comfortable with Courtney and the family! Will definitely be booking again in future🤗🐾 thanks so much!!”
About: I’ve grown up with and had dogs my whole life. I love being in their company on walks and seeing the joy it brings them. I’ve had Otis since he was a puppy, trained him well and look forward to him making new friends! I’m currently working part time, available Mondays, Thursdays and Weekends! I walk Otis twice a day around local woods, shoreline and large playing fields. I have a fenced in garden, 1 dog Otis who has access to most rooms and the garden. We play treat games for stimulation and have quiet time for naps.
About: We are a married friendly couple based in Portsmouth, United Kingdom. We love to explore new places and have pets as company. As we love to travel, we understand the stress of leaving our sweet angels behind, and you just want them to be as comfortable as possible and receive much love whilst you come back. Either me or my wife, or both will be taking care of your beautiful doggy. Although "young", we are very a responsible couple and will treat your pets just as ours ❤️ We both had our bulldog Khloe for 10 years, which is a very sensitive breed. We tought her how to potty train, a few commands. We also took care of her health, medication, water intake, meals, etc everything you do for a pet! My wife also pet and house sit houses in México before starting University and I've sat the cats of my parents around 10 times a year. They follow a strict diet and schedule and it is a pleasure to see them everytime. We both work from home Monday to Friday 9-5 and so there can always be someone to be with your pet. We are used to walking early in the morning, at lunch time and also in the evening and so can meet the needs of your pet. We have a large fenced garden which will allow your pet to explore should they so wish. We can also offer beds in each room and a variety of toys. We are also happy to provide meals and approved snacks and make sure they are hydrated during the day. Please be assured we will make your pet feel at home.
About: I’ve helped friends with pet care for years. Whether it’s a long walk, playtime in the garden, or quiet cuddles at home, I’m all about making your pet feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I’m available for boarding on weekends, and free most weekdays after 2 PM for drop-ins, walks, or house sitting. Whether your pet needs playtime, a walk, or some companionship during the day, I’m happy to help and can adapt to your routine. I keep water bowls full, follow feeding schedules, and make sure pets get plenty of attention and exercise. If I’m hosting pets at my home, I ensure a quiet, calm environment with secure spaces for rest, play, and outdoor time. I treat every pet with patience, respect, and lots of love, just like family.
About: I’ve taken care of pets from a very young age and have just recently lost my dog unexpectedly. I’m a friendly and reliable pet lover who really cares for dogs!!! I’m currently working full time from home but often like to go for a walk on my lunch break. I work flexi-time so my schedule is very flexible. I have to be in the office 2/3 times a week but I can do this whichever days suits me best. I have a large fenced back garden with lots of great walks around me. I don’t have a very busy lifestyle so lots of time for attention!!
About: I’ve always loved dogs and dreamed of having one of my own, so getting my first dog at 22 was very special to me. My family’s much-loved Black Labrador is now 9, and although I’ve lived on my own for the past three years, I still look after him regularly. I’m very involved in his care, from long, adventurous walks in the New Forest to grooming and administering his medication. Since then, I’ve also had the pleasure of looking after numerous dogs for friends and neighbours, including long walks, day care and multiple overnight stays. I genuinely love getting to know each dog’s personality and making sure they feel safe, happy and cared for while their owners are away. I’m patient, attentive and naturally very caring, and I’m happy to follow each dog’s individual routine - whether that means lots of exercise and play, plenty of cuddles, extra patience with an older dog, or simply being there for company. Your dog would be treated as one of my own, with lots of love, attention and care. I’m currently between jobs, which means I have a very flexible schedule and lots of time to dedicate to caring for your dog. Rather than being left alone for long periods, they can have plenty of company, attention, playtime and regular walks throughout the day. I’m able to tailor my routine around each dog’s individual needs - whether they’re an energetic dog who loves long walks and exploring, a puppy who needs plenty of attention and patience, or an older dog who prefers a slower pace and lots of cuddles. I’m also very happy to maintain their usual feeding, walking and medication routines so they feel as comfortable and settled as possible while you’re away. I genuinely enjoy having dogs around and would love the opportunity to give your dog a fun, loving and relaxed day while you’re busy or away. 🐾❤️ I live in a comfortable house with a secure, fully fenced garden, giving dogs a safe space to enjoy some fresh air and stretch their legs without needing to leave the garden. The house is pet-free, so your dog can have my full attention without having to share their space with other animals. I take security seriously, particularly when caring for a dog that isn’t my own. I have a Ring doorbell for added security and peace of mind, and I’m careful about keeping doors and gates secure at all times. Before your dog stays with me, I’d make sure I understand their routine, any house rules and anything they may need extra care with. I’m also very happy to arrange a meet-and-greet beforehand so you can see where your dog will be staying and we can make sure we’re all comfortable before their booking.
“Anna was absolutely brilliant from start to finish. The whole process was relaxed and easy, from the communication, the meet and greet to the boarding itself. Anna was quick to respond to any of my messages and sent me regular updates, pics and videos about how Spike was getting on while we were away. This was great for me as I've had a negative experience in the past. Anna and her husband Shaun took care of Spike for 5 nights, it was clear how well he was looked after, he had daily and interesting walks with their dog Joey and it was obvious he was treated as part of their family. He definitely the best time! I would 💯 recommend Anna if you are looking for a boarder. Smiling faces and wagging tails all round! Thank you Anna 😁”
About: Both me and Jack are animal lovers, between us we have grown up with many varied breeds of dogs in our families and have a great amount of experience being around dogs, including training puppies and attending dog training classes. We both currently work 8am to 5pm Monday to Thursday. So evenings, Fridays all day and night, Saturdays day and night, and Sundays day and night would be our current availability. We have a one story detached bungalow in a quiet cul-de-sac with a decent sized fenced off garden, close to great dog walking routes. This allows us to give your dog plenty of fresh air and exercise whilst also having a quiet indoor environment.
“Gertie and Teddy had the best time with Sofia and family. Sofia sent regular pics and updates and loved them like her own. I would highly recommend Sofia.”
“I just want to say how amazing both Ben and Eden are. They were friendly and welcoming. When I dropped Benji off, I left feeling calm and relaxed that he was going to be looked after very well. Ben and Eden sent me lots of lovely photos and kept me up to date on his adventures! I highly recommend Ben and Eden 110% I would definitely ask them to have Benji again in the future.”
“So pleased to have our furry baby cared for. We were kept up to date all through and Bobo had a wonderful time.. Have already booked Bobo's stay with Huiling and family!”
