“Ambrose spent a very happy 10 nights with Beth & he couldn’t have been happier. He was taken on lots of wonderful walks & we were sent photos and videos of him every day, which we loved to see. Knowing that Ambrose was being so well looked after enabled my Wife and I to completely relax and enjoy our holiday. I couldn’t recommend Beth more to ensure your doggie has a proper ‘home away from home’ with an amazing host!”
“Max had an amazing time with Will and Jodie. Their communication throughout was excellent, easily arranged a pre stay meet up and sent an evening message with the activities of their day. Highly recommended, can't wait to book with you again.”
About: I’ve grown up around animals and have 12 years of experience caring for our family dog, Max, a Bichon Frise, as well as two cats. I’ve always loved spending time with animals and have really enjoyed the responsibility that comes with looking after them. My partner (Abz) and I are now living in Bucks and we’re keen to gain more experience caring for other people’s dogs before getting one of our own. We’re friendly, reliable and genuinely love being outdoors, so dog walking and sitting feels like the perfect way for us to spend our weekends while giving your dog plenty of care, attention and company! We have recently started looking after our family and friends pets and thought we could make it more official on here! I work as a Doctor so schedule can be variable in the week but weekends from Friday are available for dog walking and boarding. We spend most weekends outdoors walking/hiking so this will fit in easily with our normal schedule. We currently have no pets of our own but in a house with access to public green spaces. Dog can roam all 3 floors of the house and secure balcony.
“Jemma was great with our greyhound Yana. We felt completely comfortable leaving her with Jemma for the weekend. She kept us updated and communicated really well throughout. Highly recommend!”
“Superb experience with Kaitlin and Chris, who cared for our lab, Obi, for ten nights over Christmas. We hadn’t used pet boarding before, so wasn’t quite sure what to expect, but Kaitlin made the process reassuringly easy. It was a great comfort to know that both her and her husband are experienced handling and training dogs. The location is superb. Kaitlin kept us updated with photos, was flexible and responsive, and it was so reassuring to know Obi was well cared for whilst we were away. Would have no hesitation in using their services again. Thank you, Kaitlin and Chris!”
“Louise did a fantastic job looking after our miniature schnauzer! I think she might actually prefer being boarding at Louise’s house than being back home with us😉”
“Jen was fantastic and Henley had a lovely time! I got daily updates with lots of photos and Henley was looked after very well. Would definitely be using Jen again and I’m sure Henley will be very excited to go back.”
“Katherine accepted to look after my dogs despite it was a very short notice . The communication was very smooth and easy . Unfortunately, one of my dogs turn out to be not very good with children and we had to shorten the period for staying , but she gave us a great support by communicating with Rover's support team patiently so that we receive the refund for those dates . Thank you very much !”
“Jessie and her partner have taken good care of Tigger. We had daily reports, which made me feel reassured. Tigger was limping at the beginning of his stay, Jessie made sure to pay attention to his paw, given him gentle walks to ensure recovery.”
“Sarah and family are amazing. Dusty had such a great time with them for a second booking, so much so you that we could actually see Dusty smiling. Sarah sent regular updates and lovely photos. Thank you Sarah for taking amazing care of Dusty, we will ask to book again when we next go on hols.”
“My cocker spaniel had a great overnight stay with Jane and I felt very comfortable leaving her. Jane is very friendly, responded to emails quickly and sent me several updates. I could tell that my dog enjoyed staying with Jane and I've already made another booking.”
“Rosie had a lovely time being looked after by Gemma and her family. Daily updates and photos showed how much she was enjoying her time. Would highly recommend Gemma for looking after your pet and to have peace of mind while you are away.”
About: I’ve had two dogs of my own over the past 13 years, and they are truly like my children. I’ve also cared for dogs belonging to friends and family, and I’ll look after your dog with the same love, care and attention as I do my own. Dogs staying with me will be part of our normal home routine. I take my own dog for three walks a day, and we have a large open field right next to our home for plenty of space and exercise. Dogs are fed three times a day, with their usual routine and needs always taken into consideration. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my priority. Our garden is fully fenced and secure, and dogs are always kept under my supervision. Any potentially dangerous items are safely put away, and I am trained in animal first aid. I also make sure dogs are kept clean, comfortable and well cared for throughout their stay.
“Bailey had a great time staying with Joe at his home at was obviously very well looked after throughout his stay. We’re on Rover because we’re no longer willing to put Bailey in kennels. While Bailey was staying with Joe we were kept up to date with how he was getting on and it made our time away all the better knowing Bailey was having a holiday of his own; lots of walks and plenty of time in the company of others (which he loves). We will ask Joe to look after Bailey again and would have no hesitation in recommending him to others.”
“Our dog had a wonderful time over Christmas! Ksenia was so accommodating & easy going. It was also so reassuring knowing Kitty (our dog) was so happy with all her new friends.”
About: Dogs have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up with two German Shepherds and later three Labradors, as well as cats and rabbits. Once I got my own home, I’ve had a Frenchie x Staff, my beautiful Willow, and now my one-year-old Staff x Presa Canario, Wilfred. Willow was incredibly special to me and sadly passed away. She was the best thing in my life, and she taught me so much about the bond between a dog and their person. I’ve also regularly looked after dogs for family, friends and neighbours, including puppies, nervous dogs and older dogs. I’m comfortable getting to know each dog as an individual and adapting to their personality, routine and needs. I work full-time but have the flexibility to work from home 2–3 days a week — and I can also work remotely from your home if needed. This means I’m able to offer plenty of company and attention and can be flexible around your dog’s usual routine. I’m available for walks and drop-ins on my WFH days, as well as weekends and holidays. I’m also happy to look after your dog either in my home or in yours, depending on what works best for you and your dog. Your dog’s safety and comfort will always come first. I’m used to dogs with different personalities, including puppies, nervous dogs and older dogs, and I’m happy to take things at their pace. My home is a relaxed, dog-friendly environment right next to a large park, with fields and woodland nearby for walks. Dogs are welcome on the sofas and beds and are treated as part of the family. My own dog, Wilfred, is a friendly and sociable one-year-old Staff x Presa Canario who is great with other dogs. I’m happy to give dogs their own space when they need it, and I’ll always follow the routines and instructions you provide.
“Thank you for having Zuma, he seems to have had a great time and very well looked after. He’s slept since so clearly been exercised too! The communication was perfect! I’ll definitely be using again in the future. I definitely recommend Samantha.”
“Senali and family were so welcoming and lovely, they had Jeffrey for nearly 2 days and despite his initial separation anxiety he had a great time with them and their dog Bella! Senali sent many photos and updates which helped too! Will definitely send Jeffrey there again!”
“It was the first time that Bentley stayed overnight with Sheila and he had a great time. Bentley has instantly taken to Sheila and her family and it is real peace of mind knowing that he is happy and settled when he is there.”
“Agnes is a lifesaver. She accepted a quite urgent 3-week sitting job with only a couple of days' notice. She took great care of my Westie and uploaded photos on a regular basis. No issues were raised, and the communication was excellent. I am very happy with the service and would recommend her to any dog owners.”

I live locally with my partner and two teenage children who are all equally big animal lovers.
“Sean looked after my 2 feline children when i went away, i felt guilty leaving them for first time so i asked sean just to let me know if any problems.

I will now be asking sean on a regular basis as i was so pleased how good he was and i know now i can go away and feel confident that my cats are in safe hands as they are my world.”
“Second time with Rachel looking after Gus and I am so happy. Brilliant communication and great twice-daily update with pictures. Love being able to go on holiday and know he is in safe hands!”

“My very anxious old dachshund was sad to see me go but 8 hours later when I came to pick him up he wasn’t in a hurry to leave, in fact instead of following me to the car he followed Jodie back in the house! Very quick response from William to my initial message and a seamless booking. Will definitely leave my guys with these guys again. Thanks x”
About: Hi, I’m Beth. I work from home and I'm a lifelong dog lover based in Princes Risborough, I provide attentive, reliable, and premium home boarding for small to medium-sized dogs, including senior dogs. From my own experience as a pet owner, I know how important it is to find a safe, loving environment where your dog becomes part of the family. I'm adaptable to your dog's needs. I work online and with mostly flexible hours, which means that your dog comes first for their daily walks. Because I work from home, your dog will rarely be alone and will receive dedicated care, company, and regular toilet breaks every 0–2 hours. I walk daily and would enjoy having the companionship of your dog to share those walks. I live in a top-floor flat (34 stairs) above my mum’s house and we are all dog lovers here. While the flat is cosy, there is a large, secure garden where your dog can roam freely while I’m working or gardening. I have experience of caring for small to medium sized dogs, as well as elderly dogs. I treat every dog as if they were my own. I adapt to your dog's pace and preferences. I understand the trust you’re placing in me, and I will provide safe, attentive, and loving care. A review that arrived too late to be included: We couldn’t be happier with the care Beth gave Leo while we were away for a week. From the very first moment we met her, Beth’s warmth and kindness shone through – she welcomed Leo like an old friend and immediately put him at ease. Throughout the week, she took him out for frequent walks and adventures, giving him plenty of exercise and stimulation, and always made sure he was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. Beth was incredibly communicative, sending us regular updates and photos, which gave us such peace of mind. It was clear she wasn’t just looking after Leo’s basic needs – she genuinely cared for him as if he were her own, offering patience, affection, and a nurturing touch in everything she did. Her home and the beautiful surrounding area were perfect for Leo, and he adored exploring it all with her. By the time we came to collect him, it was obvious he had loved every moment there. We are so grateful to Beth and wouldn’t hesitate to have her look after Leo again. Anjeli P. Today
“Luna had a great time and came home sleepy. Chris and Kaitlin were good hosts and looked after Luna well accommodating all her GSD puppy antics. I would recommend them for sure”

About: I have had dogs my whole life however since moving out with children my family is yet to have one our own. We’re a very outdoorsy family - we spend a majority of our days doing woodland walks and at the parks. Your dogs will always be treated as though they’re one of my own and I’d always be happy to provide references from clients who note how quickly their dogs have warmed to me etc. I have experience with all sizes of dogs from small to XL and I am comfortable working with dogs that have reactivity and behavioural issues. I previously fostered rescues with dog reactivity so this is something I am particularly familiar with. Walks would be tailored to suit your dogs individual needs dependent on whether they love to chase balls or require on lead walks somewhere with plenty of places to explore and sniff. Please feel free to message me with what your dog requires and I’d love to see if I can help. I’m a stay at home mum, available 24/7 - so I would be able to accommodate your dogs needs, whether that was plenty of walks and outdoor activities or shorter walks and more mental stimulation inside, whatever you felt your dog would cope with best I can accommodate. As a family we often spend a majority of our days outside. If your dog was comfortable with other dogs we love to explore with my parent’s black Labrador Rio who loves to play, we have doggy pools and lots of fun things to do in the garden there also for hotter days. I also rent enclosed dog fields/woodlands for run arounds, exploring and fun in a safe environment perfect for dogs that don’t have a safe recall🐾.
About: I’ve taken care of both cats and dogs from a young age and I am very reliable and trustworthy. I ride horses too so am used to being around lots of different animals and types of dogs. I currently work full time from home in a 9-5, so can be very flexible. I would prefer weekdays at the minute as weekends I tend to be busy with family. I take your dogs care and safety very seriously and will listen to your needs carefully. I am very caring and diligent, but will also be great company for your beloved pet.

“Amazing from start to finish. Really good communication and lots of lovely photos and videos through the day. Frank seemed really happy and loved his day with Gemma and family. Would definitely recommend Gemma and will definitely be using her again.”
“Sam and her daughters are so lovely! They took care of my dog as if she was their own. I was happy knowing that my pup had a great family to play with rather than being stuck at home by herself. I'd highly recommend her and I've already rebooked! Thanks Sam!”
“Nelson has a wonderful time with Samantha and comes home happy and exhausted. Samantha and her family are welcoming and flexible, making regular daycare really easy. Highly recommend”
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life, including my own Jack Russell, and I’m confident caring for dogs of all ages and temperaments.

About: I’ve been a pet sitter & walker for the last 5 years, so I know how to care for pets of all sizes and needs! I’ll follow your lead in caring for your pet. However you approach and manage their quirks, I’ll be able to care for them in exactly the same way you usually do and what they are used to. I have a lot of extra love for all furry (and even the non furry ones) animals, and it brings me a lot of joy to spend quality time with them. I’m more than happy to just do one-off walks and check-ins, but over time I hope that I become a familiar friend to your pet and a reliable helper to you in caring for them :) I work remotely and have a flexible schedule so I can always move plans around to fit with what you need! Mon-Fri checks ins and walks work best, but with enough advance notice I can certainly help out on weekends. Of course, if anything last min crops up, I will do my best to help. I understand that sometimes life happens quicker than we can plan for it! Whenever I’m visiting I treat your pets and home with the utmost respect. You can be assured that your instructions will be followed and expect any unforeseen issues (pet messes, accidents or dangerous situations) will be handled with professionalism and care.
About: I’m a Level 3 qualified canine care professional and trained in canine first aid, so your dog will be in knowledgeable and responsible hands. I understand that every dog is different, so I tailor walks to their individual needs, personality and energy levels. Whether your dog loves an energetic adventure, prefers a slower sniff-filled walk, or needs a little extra reassurance and patience, I’ll make sure they get the right experience for them. My training has given me a strong understanding of canine behaviour, body language, safe handling and managing dogs appropriately around other dogs and people. I’m particularly focused on making walks enjoyable, enriching and safe rather than simply covering distance. I’m reliable, calm and professional, and I’ll treat your dog with the same care and attention I’d expect for my own. I currently work Wednesday to Friday, which means I have good availability on Mondays, Tuesdays and at weekends. I can offer regular weekly walks as well as occasional bookings, and I’m happy to discuss timings that work best for you and your dog. I’m Level 3 qualified in canine care and trained in canine first aid, with a strong focus on safety and your dog’s individual needs. I offer on-lead or off-lead walks across a variety of local countryside routes, depending on your preferences and what is appropriate for your dog. I take time to understand each dog’s temperament, recall, energy levels and behaviour around other dogs before deciding what type of walk will suit them best.

About: I grew up with dogs and love having a lovely furry friend around in my home. Dogs are allowed on furniture in our home and I will try and emulate the same level of care and instruction that you dog receives at home.

My husband, scott, and I have experience of walking and caring for a dog who has become deaf in his older years and have an ongoing relationship with the owner. I have walked dogs of different breeds for friends and family and we have dog sat for multiple families regularly over the last few years. We live in a beautiful area of Oxfordshire with access to a variety of country walks, around the local nature lakes, the hills, along the icknield way and the Phoenix trail which is a great safe place to walk if you don’t want paws too muddy! You can rest assured your dog will be welcomed into our home and loved by us and our children. We have an enclosed garden that is secure and lots of love and cuddles to give. I can provide a stimulating environment for your dogs with access to many lovely walks. I am based at home so I have plenty of time to play with, socialise and exercise your dogs. I offer taking on multiple dogs in my home, if required, but I am happy to only host one dog at a time also to fit around the needs of your dog. I will always check with you first. I have a fenced and secure garden. I can crate dogs, if required, for their safety. Our house is quiet and comfortable and is ideally suited to put your dog at ease. Dogs are allowed on furniture and we have a fenced, secure garden they can play in between walks.

I am experienced in looking after primarily dogs and cats, and my extensive experience with senior dogs and cats makes me a trusted individual to look after your furry family members.

I am available weekdays and weekends, with a few existing commitments on weekday evenings that should not impact my availability.

“Karen really helped me out at short notice when I couldn't walk my dog due to covid! She was very quick to reply and even gave me a discount code to reduce the costs. Rafi came back seeming very happy and was nice and tired (which is just what I'd hoped for!). Overall I would definitely recommend Karen's dog walking services!”

About: What sets me apart as a pet sitter is my extensive experience and unique skills. I had a rescue dog for 10 years who had challenging needs, including separation anxiety, requiring lots of attention and specialized care. This experience has given me a deep understanding of how to treat and look after dogs, making me confident and comfortable around pets of all temperaments. Additionally, as a doctor, I bring excellent communication skills, responsibility, and reliability to my pet-sitting services. I ensure that pet owners are kept up to date as required, providing peace of mind that their beloved pets are in capable and caring hands. My background equips me with the ability to handle various situations calmly and effectively, ensuring the best care for your pet. Having recently returned from traveling, I'm currently not diving back into full-time work, which means I'm available most days of the week. This flexibility allows me to seamlessly integrate pet care into my daily routine. With ample free time, I can dedicate my attention to ensuring your pet receives the best care possible. Whether it's daily walks, playtime, or just keeping them company, I'm here to meet their needs and provide a loving, attentive environment. When caring for pets, my focus is on safety, trust, and creating a nurturing environment, whether at my home or the pet owner's. This involves pet-proofing the space, building trust through positive interactions, maintaining regular routines, and keeping open communication with owners through updates and photos. By prioritizing these aspects, I ensure that pets receive the best possible care and feel comfortable and secure during their stay.
About: Hi! I’ve always loved animals from a young age, and caring for them has always been something i genuinely enjoy. I have two 8-year-old dogs of my own, so i understand how important it is to find someone trusting and reliable to look after your pet. Whilst looking after pets including my own, it has taught me the importance of routine, patience and understanding every dog has their own personality and is different and requires different needs. Whether it’s walks, playtime, cuddles i will always make sure your dog feels safe and well cared for. I know how much our pets mean to us, and that it is important to have that trust with the one looking after them and i make sure to treat them like my own with kindness, love and patience. At the moment, I work part-time which gives me a lot of flexibility and free time in order to work around your schedule to take care of your pets. I’ll follow your pets usual routine and any instructions that you provide including dietary requirements, medication and daily walks etc. I’m also happy to send regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pets are in safe, caring hands when your away.

“Max had an amazing time with Will and Jodie. Their communication throughout was excellent, easily arranged a pre stay meet up and sent an evening message with the activities of their day. Highly recommended, can't wait to book with you again.”
About: I’ve grown up around animals and have 12 years of experience caring for our family dog, Max, a Bichon Frise, as well as two cats. I’ve always loved spending time with animals and have really enjoyed the responsibility that comes with looking after them. My partner (Abz) and I are now living in Bucks and we’re keen to gain more experience caring for other people’s dogs before getting one of our own. We’re friendly, reliable and genuinely love being outdoors, so dog walking and sitting feels like the perfect way for us to spend our weekends while giving your dog plenty of care, attention and company! We have recently started looking after our family and friends pets and thought we could make it more official on here! I work as a Doctor so schedule can be variable in the week but weekends from Friday are available for dog walking and boarding. We spend most weekends outdoors walking/hiking so this will fit in easily with our normal schedule. We currently have no pets of our own but in a house with access to public green spaces. Dog can roam all 3 floors of the house and secure balcony.
“Jemma was great with our greyhound Yana. We felt completely comfortable leaving her with Jemma for the weekend. She kept us updated and communicated really well throughout. Highly recommend!”
“Superb experience with Kaitlin and Chris, who cared for our lab, Obi, for ten nights over Christmas. We hadn’t used pet boarding before, so wasn’t quite sure what to expect, but Kaitlin made the process reassuringly easy. It was a great comfort to know that both her and her husband are experienced handling and training dogs. The location is superb. Kaitlin kept us updated with photos, was flexible and responsive, and it was so reassuring to know Obi was well cared for whilst we were away. Would have no hesitation in using their services again. Thank you, Kaitlin and Chris!”
“Jen was fantastic and Henley had a lovely time! I got daily updates with lots of photos and Henley was looked after very well. Would definitely be using Jen again and I’m sure Henley will be very excited to go back.”
“Katherine accepted to look after my dogs despite it was a very short notice . The communication was very smooth and easy . Unfortunately, one of my dogs turn out to be not very good with children and we had to shorten the period for staying , but she gave us a great support by communicating with Rover's support team patiently so that we receive the refund for those dates . Thank you very much !”
“Jessie and her partner have taken good care of Tigger. We had daily reports, which made me feel reassured. Tigger was limping at the beginning of his stay, Jessie made sure to pay attention to his paw, given him gentle walks to ensure recovery.”
“Ernie had a great meet and greet and trial night stay with Yamini and family. They were very welcoming and put him at ease quickly. He loved being able to sit on the sofa with them, as he’s used to doing this at home. It was great to get regular photos and updates from Yamini even with a short stay, as it ensured we felt confident he was being well looked after and enjoying his stay. We’ll certainly be confident leaving Ernie with Yamini and family again in the future.”
“Sarah and family are amazing. Dusty had such a great time with them for a second booking, so much so you that we could actually see Dusty smiling. Sarah sent regular updates and lovely photos. Thank you Sarah for taking amazing care of Dusty, we will ask to book again when we next go on hols.”
“My cocker spaniel had a great overnight stay with Jane and I felt very comfortable leaving her. Jane is very friendly, responded to emails quickly and sent me several updates. I could tell that my dog enjoyed staying with Jane and I've already made another booking.”
“Bailey had a great time staying with Joe at his home at was obviously very well looked after throughout his stay. We’re on Rover because we’re no longer willing to put Bailey in kennels. While Bailey was staying with Joe we were kept up to date with how he was getting on and it made our time away all the better knowing Bailey was having a holiday of his own; lots of walks and plenty of time in the company of others (which he loves). We will ask Joe to look after Bailey again and would have no hesitation in recommending him to others.”
“Emily looked after our dog Milo so well. He is very active being a Borador and needs a lot of exercise and mental stimulation. She took him out for many walks and she has extra space in a field with jumps and Milo could run around! He was well cared for and he had the best time. She sent lots of photos which we loved and he was happy in every single one! I would highly recommend Emily.”
“Tanya and her family made Hades feel right at home, he has been extremely well looked after and we will definitely be asking Tanya to babysit him for us in future. Lots of regular update with photos to match throughout our 2 week Holiday. I would highly recommend Tanya to anyone who wants their dog treated like one of the family.”
“Our dog had a wonderful time over Christmas! Ksenia was so accommodating & easy going. It was also so reassuring knowing Kitty (our dog) was so happy with all her new friends.”
About: Dogs have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up with two German Shepherds and later three Labradors, as well as cats and rabbits. Once I got my own home, I’ve had a Frenchie x Staff, my beautiful Willow, and now my one-year-old Staff x Presa Canario, Wilfred. Willow was incredibly special to me and sadly passed away. She was the best thing in my life, and she taught me so much about the bond between a dog and their person. I’ve also regularly looked after dogs for family, friends and neighbours, including puppies, nervous dogs and older dogs. I’m comfortable getting to know each dog as an individual and adapting to their personality, routine and needs. I work full-time but have the flexibility to work from home 2–3 days a week — and I can also work remotely from your home if needed. This means I’m able to offer plenty of company and attention and can be flexible around your dog’s usual routine. I’m available for walks and drop-ins on my WFH days, as well as weekends and holidays. I’m also happy to look after your dog either in my home or in yours, depending on what works best for you and your dog. Your dog’s safety and comfort will always come first. I’m used to dogs with different personalities, including puppies, nervous dogs and older dogs, and I’m happy to take things at their pace. My home is a relaxed, dog-friendly environment right next to a large park, with fields and woodland nearby for walks. Dogs are welcome on the sofas and beds and are treated as part of the family. My own dog, Wilfred, is a friendly and sociable one-year-old Staff x Presa Canario who is great with other dogs. I’m happy to give dogs their own space when they need it, and I’ll always follow the routines and instructions you provide.
“We are very pleased to have found Tracey. Harvey can be a little shy at first but he loved his stay and got on well with Louis😁. Tracey is very efficient, she supplied us with photo updates and everything went smoothly. We felt confident of leaving Harvey with her as she was understanding of his needs and obviously loves dogs. We would absolutely recommend her and Harvey’s is looking forward to his next stay! Thank you Tracey.”
“Rebecca and family are so adorable. All of them including Percy their 1year old retriever took care of our puppy. He was exhausted with playing so much and slept on the way back in the car it was so cute. There's gonna be lots of play dates in the future I can see. Thank you so much.”
“It was the first time that Bentley stayed overnight with Sheila and he had a great time. Bentley has instantly taken to Sheila and her family and it is real peace of mind knowing that he is happy and settled when he is there.”
About: I’ve had dogs all my life always had two dogs and have two cocker spaniels a girl and a boy Lenny is too and Luna is one very good with children very good with any animals. We walk an hour a day both my dogs are awfully dogs, but that isn’t a problem if your Dog is on a lead. We live in a beautiful town with lots of places to adventure. So I dropped my children off at school and then we go for a walk. This will be a long walk which is about an hour long and then we go home and snooze and then in the evening we go round the block. But of course each Dog is different some dogs don’t like to walk that far. I’ve got 2ADHD cocker spaniels that don’t walk they run. But they generally walk themselves come back every now and then say hello and then off they go again. I have a fenced off Garden and I also have two cocker spaniels that are very friendly with children and dogs. If your dog prefers to sleep in a crate, I have space for that also.
About: Having recently retired, I've found myself with some spare time and what better way to spend it than to look after dogs! I often look after our friends and families dogs on our family farm. I've looked after all ages, all temperaments and all breeds. I have been around dogs most of my life. For the last 19 years we have had dogs ourselves, we had our darling Bailey, a golden lab who died at 16 and now Grace, our black lab who's 11.5. I am recently retired, and while I do spend some time looking after my grandchildren, I feel like I will have the time to look after your pets! I live on a farm surrounded by fields, with a garden which is partially fenced. I have one gentle labrador to keep yours company or if your dog prefers their own space, I can accommodate this. As with all farms the kitchen is the hub of the home and the dogs get the prime spot infront of the aga.
