“Jol;ene and her family made Margot feel so welcome. She made me feel at ease and I was really comfortable leaving Margot in her care. Ill definitely be using Jolene and again and can highly recommend her.”
“Charles and Dexter welcomed Margot for an overnight stay. Charles sent lots of picures of Margot throughout the day. She seemed to have really settled in. I would recommend Charles.”
“Jamie was lovely, I knew Sherlock was in safe hands from the start, he had plenty of walks during his day care and loved spending time with Jarvis the spaniel too. Jamie also has a big garden which I’m sure Sherlock enjoyed having access to! Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend.”
“Amanda did a great job looking after our 8 month old puppy. When we arrived she was warm, calm and professional which gave us total confidence Otto was in safe hands. Otto clearly had a lovely time! We would definitely recommend Amanda to anyone.”
“I’m sure Purdey was very happy with Stephen, he kept me updated with pictures every day she had other dogs to play with and looked very comfortable there he’s a lovely guy and would definitely recommend him to others.”
“We had the fortune of meeting Dara when the petsitter we booked cancelled in the last minute. Dara looked after our one year old Yorkie for two weeks. From the beginning, communication was easy and reliable. We visited her before our trip and from the moment we met her we felt reassured that our dog would be in great hands. Dara has Maya, a lovely friendly Spaniel and the area where she lives is fantastic for walks by the canal. While we were away Dara sent us wonderful photos and videos of his walks. Our dog had so much fun, we absolutely enjoyed watching him run around and make so many friends. He spent so much time outdoors and in different parks of London. Dara kept us informed about everything related to Zorro. This was really important as we all missed him so much and also, it made enjoy our holiday without a worry. Also, one super plus is that Dara’s boyfriend was also helping to look after Zorro and we could see how much fun Zorro had playing and how much they enjoyed each other’s company. Finally, I would like to point out that not only is Dara a wonderful pet sitter, but she is also such a lovely person! We wholeheartedly recommend her! Thank you!”
About: I have had a dog of my own for 12 years and I have experience in all stages of a dogs life. I have undergone puppy training as well with my own dog. I have plenty of spare time to spend with your dogs and give them the care they need. I can offer boarding, day care, drop in visits and dog walking 7 days a week. I have a dog friendly house and garden. Fenced and secure. I have stair gates to prevent dogs from going upstairs and a gated front garden. I also have ramps to help get out into the garden.
“Our dog, Huxley has just stayed with Becky while we were away for the weekend. He was really excited to see her again and looked instantly at home. He came back on Sunday, tired, relaxed and very happy. Becky sent us pictures and was really friendly and professional throughout. Really helpful too, when I needed to adjust all the travel plans due to train changes. We saw Hux went on some fab walks and looked really settled at her home. She made the whole experience really easy for us and we're looking forward to using her again. We highly recommend Becky!”
“Wanling took great care of my coco over the weekend. She sent me lovely picture updates and it was nice to know coco had a dog buddy to play with. I’ll be booking again!”
“It was the first time Charlie stayed away from home and it was a success. Robert is a kind and calm person who made Charlie to relax straight away. She came back calm and happy after 2 nights stay.”

“Caterina is a very lovely and kind person. I felt straight away very comfortable leaving our dog Lexy with her. Her little pug is adorable and gave Lexy confidence whilst staying with them. Thanks again for looking after Lexy, she had the best time with you guys 💛”
About: Absolutely love dogs and have experience looking after my families dogs. I have a beautiful one year lab who is extremely friendly and used to being with other dogs. I have the summer off so am available from 18th July to the beginning sept and other school holidays. Two walks a day and perhaps more if required . I have a fenced off garden with high locked gate . A large lounge for chilling time and dogs allowed on the furniture. Your dog will be cared for like my own
“Tara looked after Cooper whilst I was away at Easter. She was a perfect host, willing to meet me and Coops before the stay, asked lots of questions, gave him great care and sent me regular updates. Would definitely recommend Tara and I will be asking her to take care of Coops in the future.”
About: I’ve grown up with working spaniels and currently have a 2yo cocker, so I’m comfortable with even the most crazy and demanding dogs. I care about meeting breed-specific needs and investing quality time in games that they naturally love. Happy to practice any training you might be working on and I’m understanding of the unique quirks they all seem to have. I will always try to make walks fun and engaging, but my house is a quiet and comfortable environment to relax in - just me and my own dog. There is a fully enclosed garden to run around in and I have a dog-safe car for trips out or emergencies. I work from home 4 days a week (sometimes all week) so have time and flexibility to engage with my dog. A typical day starts with a fun activity walk to engage the brain, followed by plenty of naps and a bit of training/play during the day, then a calm evening on the sofa. My house is dog proof and dog friendly. It’s clean and cosy, but big enough for a bit of space for alone time if needed and I have a fully secure garden with plenty of room to run around, sniff and play games. The road is quiet so very few strange noises to bark at. My dog sleeps overnight in a crate, but he is allowed to chill on the sofa if invited and sometimes on the bed if he’s been good. Treats are always nearby for good behaviour.
About: Calm, home-from-home dog boarding by the beach 🐾 I offer a relaxed, loving environment where your dog will be treated like part of the family. Living right by the beach means plenty of fresh air, walks, and a calm routine — it’s like a little holiday for them while you’re away. I keep things small and personal, usually caring for just one dog at a time. This allows me to give your dog plenty of attention, consistency, and a stress-free environment, which works especially well for more sensitive or excitable dogs. I’m experienced with a range of temperaments, including puppies and high-energy dogs, and I’m confident following your routines — whether that’s feeding, training, or medication. Owners often say they feel completely at ease knowing their dog is in safe hands, and I always keep you updated with messages and photos so you can relax while you’re away. I work part-time, so I have lots of flexibility for walks, playtime, and company throughout the day. I’m active and out walking daily, making sure your dog gets a good balance of exercise and downtime. I’m always happy to accommodate your dog’s usual routine and sleeping arrangements to help them settle in comfortably. I'm currently working part time so I've got lots of time to walk/ play with your pup. I'm very active and walk/run daily. I can be available most weekends also and daytimes too. I don't have a crate at home but we're happy to have your pet sleep in the living room (on the couch if prerable). Happy to accommodate any need
“Jo is always fantastic with our 3 British Bulldogs..She’s very reliable. She’s caring , attentive and knowledgeable! They absolutely adore her .. And the house is always beautiful and clean on our return .Thank you so much Jo xxx”
About: I will look after your pets like they're my own! I have had cats and dogs from a young age and I am experienced in looking after them and each of their unique quirks and how they mix together. Of course all animals are different so I will work with you to look after and care for your fur babies and their individual needs exactly how you would want them to be cared for. I work full time Monday to Friday and on average I work from home 2 days a week over the month. Which days I choose to work from home are completely flexible. So have plenty of wiggle room for caring for you pets at home (either mine or yours) for drop ins/walkies. My weekends are my own so I am pretty available and flexible. I have my own cats so for dog sitting in my own home they would need to be non-aggressive towards cats. I have a lovely garden that is fenced at the back (backs onto an alleyway) and low walls to neighbouring gardens.

“Amanda was brilliant with Betty and with looking after my house. She was lovely to deal with and really helped to put me at ease and provide updates of Betty. I came home to a very chilled cat and well looked after house - what a joy. Will certainly be booking her again - highly recommend.”
“Alice looked after my cat Nina over the weekend while I was away, and I couldn’t be happier with the care she provided. She was reliable, caring, and kept me updated throughout, which gave me real peace of mind. I’d happily recommend Alice to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive pet sitter. Thank you again!”
“Dana was absolutely wonderful when she looked after Nori for me. I needed someone to go in twice during the day to walk her and feed her while I was in London. It was the first time we had met and she offered to join our morning walk to get to know both of us before spending time with Nori that day, which I’ve really appreciated. She gave me lots of updates during the day, and I felt very secure in the knowledge that Nori was in good hands. I would definitely book her again – in fact, we’ve already made a plan for the next sit! Thank you!”
“The cats were very well looked after by Gosia on our recent trip. She is so kind and caring. She is responsible and organised - which really puts my mind at ease leaving them. We got photos and feedback for each visit which was really helpful. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Gosia.”
About: Dogs have been in my life for as long as I can remember but since meeting my partner (Cara) 13 years ago, we have had the responsibility of looking after our own dogs We lost our Australian terrier 6 years ago but now we have a cocker spaniel who is 5, very well trained with recall and tricks, although very excitable but this is due to the love he is shown regularly. Our dog is walked three times a day so you can guarantee any pet left with us will get exercise if desired. We are dog and animal lovers so they’ll be in great hands. I currently have a lot of flexibility in my job that allows me to work from home. This means I have the ability to care for your pet and also provide walks in the morning, lunch and evening. I’m outdoorsy and a keep fit kind of guy, so weather does not prevent me from getting my steps which is beneficial to me and your pets. Cara is unable to work from home but she makes it for our evening walks and our weekends are centred around our dog, we don’t go anywhere without him and even if we do he is left with our parents, not home alone. I have a fenced back garden, a very friendly dog named Jarvis (working cocker spaniel) which should provide some much needed company and entertainment for your pet.
About: Hello, I’m Jamie, a reliable and experienced professional based in Margate. I work flexibly across consultancy and community-based roles, which allows me to offer dependable cat care throughout Thanet. I’ve always loved cats, and if I’m honest, cat sitting started because so many friends in my circle have adorable cats that I’ve happily looked after over the years. What began as helping out friends when they were away quickly became something I genuinely enjoy. Every cat has its own personality, routines and quirks, and getting to know them is one of the best parts of the job. I understand that leaving your cat with someone new requires trust. Whether your cat enjoys company and play, prefers a quiet fuss on their own terms, or simply needs feeding and a welfare check, I’ll provide calm, attentive care and regular updates while you’re away. I pride myself on being dependable, communicative and attentive to each cat’s individual needs. My aim is simple: to make sure your cat is happy, comfortable and well cared for, and that you can relax knowing they’re in safe hands. I also love taking photos and will happily share updates so you can see how your feline friend is getting on while you’re away.
“Hollie was so helpful, I contacted her to help with my mums cats, mum is tech averse so Hollie's patience and communication flexibility as well as popping in prior so mum could meet her was exactly what we needed. Mum was very happy with the standard of communication and care Holllie offered. 5 stars rightly deserved! Thanks Hollie!”
“Fern is a great Cat sitter! Our timid cat was easy with her, we had videos and updates throughout.. we were very confident that our Cats got the best care.. would use Fern again without question :)”
About: I’ve had cats throughout my life and understand that every cat has their own unique personality and routine, I genuinely love spending time with cats and have experience caring for them both as a pet owner and while helping friends and family when they’re away. Whether your cat enjoys lots of attention or prefers their own space, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable and well cared for. They will be well looked after and I’ll always have time for playtime and cuddles (if they want them!) and regular photo updates for your peace of mind😊
“Bethany is wonderful, she provided drop in services to feed 5 cats, engaged with all of them wonderfully and very consistent. Excellent communication, provided each day with a lot of information. Attentive and understanding, definitely would book again with Bethany!”
About: I’m a caring and responsible dog lover with a genuine passion for keeping pups happy, safe, and loved while their humans are away. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or cozy cuddle sessions, I make sure every dog gets the attention and care they deserve. I’m experienced with different breeds, attentive to each pet’s unique needs, and committed to providing an stress-free, tail-wagging experience. I have two dogs and one cat of my own. I can do dog checks morning day and evenings seven days a week. Weekends, any time weekdays evenings only for check-in and walks and any additional time needing to stay with your pup. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I create a calm, secure environment where they can relax, play, and feel at home. Whether indoors or outdoors, I keep a close eye on them, ensure they’re in a hazard-free space.
“We booked Sophie for regular drop-ins over the span of two and a half weeks and honestly she has been an incredibly reliable, caring and communicative cat sitter. We could sleep easily knowing that someone responsible and genuinely good with pets is looking after our cat while we're out of the country. Dexter is usually very shy around strangers but instantly took a liking to her, which says a lot. We were concerned about letting someone we don't know have the keys to our flat for that long, but she has been nothing but respectful of our home. To sum it all up, we would definitely book her again!”
About: Felines have been a constant, comforting presence in my life since the day I was born, shaping a deep, lifelong bond with every purr and headbutt. Whether it is understanding their subtle body language, earning the trust of a shy rescue, or simply sharing a quiet afternoon curled up with a affectionate companion, my connection to cats is rooted in a lifetime of shared memories and genuine mutual respect.

“I knew Laszlo would be in good hands with Annie as a fellow spaniel lover and he clearly had a great time with her. She was very accommodating and kept me updated with pictures and videos of him having fun and playing games. Very happy with everything and reassured to know Annie is nearby in future”
About: I've taken care of dogs since I was 18, was a house sitter for multiple animals at the same time. Love going on multiple walks per day around the beach and parks local to me. Love having dogs socialise with each other as I have a dog myself, he loves playing with other dogs. Love spoiling dogs and giving them the world they deserve. I don't necessarily have any special training that I can provide for your dog, however I will always make sure they are well behaved! Working from home gives me a lot of time with the dogs , I will usually keep the back door open all day so they can go into the garden when they want to. Happy with big, small, medium sized dogs, as my dog gets a long with all dogs. He's an ex rescue dog and very shy around people. However around dogs he comes alive! I'm currently working full time from home. I have an online business, meaning I can work when I want. My typical schedule would involve my partner waking up around 5AM to let the dogs out as she leaves for work around 6AM. The dogs then come into bed with me until I wake up which is around 7-7:45AM. My work starts with a meeting at 8:15AM which usually lasts 30mins-45mins. After the meeting I typically go on a dog walk for an hour, this can be around the fields , parks or beaches near me. Then I come home and work through the day, the back door will be open all day so the dogs can go out. I then go for an afternoon / evening walk around 5-6pm. This usually is an hour however can change depending which dogs i'm looking after. I can also do 1 walk per day if that is all your dog needs (some dogs cannot be over-excercised). Pet-care very easily works around my daily life, nothing would change in my schedule if I was to look after your dog. I have a fenced garden, and a very friendly 10 -month old rescue puppy called Dexter. He loves playing with other animals and dogs, male of female. There are 2 doors to get in, 3 if you count the one without a lock. Meaning if they were to get out the door to my flat they wouldn't be able to get out to the road. My dog does not get protective over treats or food so eating wouldn't be an issue. My dog also does not get jealous , he's never been aggressive in the time we've had him, he's scared of people but loves animals ! My dog also does not bark ! If your dog was to bark or try to dominate him he would allow it to happen, he's very placid.
“First time using the service and so pleased to have found Stephen. Warm and welcoming home which put both myself and George at ease. George had a great time on his first visit and was excited when we arrived for his second stay. Highly recommend.”
“Amanda was great. Duke and Bobby were very happy. We had picture updates so we know they were ok,both ours dogs were very relaxed and happy around Amanda look forward to using her again.”
“Faith was brilliant with Ralphie. She took him at very short notice for the whole of my work day plus trains and she was amazing when he had an upset stomach unexpectedly. She dealt with it with maturity, grace and kindness. Her poodle Coco is so sweet and was a great friend for Ralphie.”
About: I’ve had dogs in my life for as long as I can remember, and caring for them has always come naturally to me. I currently have a 7-year-old Fox Terrier, so I’m very familiar with the energy, intelligence, and personality that comes with the breed. Over the years, I’ve looked after dogs of different ages and temperaments, from playful puppies to more senior dogs who need a gentler approach. What sets me apart is the personal attention and patience I give to every animal. I understand that every dog is different—some need lots of play and stimulation, while others just want a quiet cuddle and a steady routine. I treat every pet like my own, and I’m always happy to follow any special instructions to make sure they feel safe, relaxed, and happy in my care. I work at a studio just 5 minutes from my home, which gives me a lot of flexibility. I can either bring a dog with me to the studio I create a calm and secure environment where pets can relax, play, and feel safe. I don’t have any children or other pets besides my own friendly Fox Terrier, so your pet will get plenty of attention and one-on-one care. I make sure the space is pet-proofed, clean, and suited to their individual needs—whether that means lots of play, quiet time, or regular toilet breaks.
“Huge thanks Jamie and Cara. Another fantastic stay for Ziggy; particular thanks as it was a last minute booking. It really helped us out; your communications and organisation of timings etc all superb. So delighted to have found such a wonderfully relaxed and caring home from home for our pup Ziggy. Thankyou again”
“Tara was brilliant. We made a last minute request, she stepped in and our dog absolutely loved her. He obviously had an awesome day and Tara sent us lots of lovely photos. Thank you Tara.”
About: I’ve cared for animals of all kinds since I was a child. I’ve owned everything from rabbits and guinea pigs to goats and cats and have looked after dogs of all ages and temperaments. I work from home on a flexible schedule so am available for companionship, feeds and walks all day…and even in the night. I also walk on the cliffs, parks or beaches regularly and welcome the company. I have a large fenced garden and home with areas that can be closed off for safety and cleanliness. I believe in positive reinforcement with respect for space and building a bond with individual animals.
About: I am 52 years old and have fed, walked, mucked out and administered medication (pills) to: dogs, cats, budgies pigs, pigeons and a rabbit. I have had a loving connection to animals since childhood. I respect their right as individuals being mindful of their needs for companionship and down time. I can provide caring and respectful interaction with your companion animal and carry out instructions for feeding and their other routines as well as make sure that your property is kept secure and tidy. I am physically fit, (running, cycling, swimming and climbing). I love to get out and about especially hiking/walking/running at your dog's pace and I love to play them at their own games, tug of war and fetch! I provide regular photo and video updates and supervise their care routines. I have 11 years of monthly volunteer experience at a vegan ran animal rescue sanctuary, which keeps rescued pigs, sheep, cows, turkeys, geese, ducks, an alpaca and also had a sadly departed rescue deer. I have also volunteered at Kerala animal rescue in India for stray dogs (rescue, neuter, vacinate and release). I can provide references upon request. I'm currently working from home and enjoy taking breaks to exercise and interact with companion animals. We usually play their favourite game or walk/run either locally or on an exciting trip. I usually sit with companion animals in their home, and get a sense whether they want to play or chill out. I also provide their food and medication per regular routine.
“I booked last minute and something come up and had no one to look after my dog. Anne-Marie was amazing with my dog Jezza, she sent updates and videos which made me not worry as much, I was very nervous to leave him as I hadn’t done it before but he loved every minute of it, she gave him plenty of exercise he came home and slept the rest of the day! Made me feel so relaxed that he was being well looked after, would use her again and recommend her to anyone who needs there dogs look after😊”
About: I’ve owned dogs throughout my life and have always loved caring for animals, I used to regularly walk a friend’s dog and have looked after dogs for friends and family while they were away on holiday. I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy to care for your pet, and I will treat every dog as if they were my own 😊 I’m happy to provide regular updates, photos and plenty of attention to help both you and your dog feel comfortable and relaxed!

“Steve was brilliant, friendly and so adaptable, we wouldn’t hesitate to use him again and are really happy to have found such a lovely sitter. Sherlock has been so well looked after and enjoyed Steve’s lovely garden and joining him and his dog Bailey on walks, Bailey was also very welcoming to Sherlock! We felt very comfortable and happy leaving Sherlock with Steve, we received updates which we really appreciated during the day. Thanks so much Steve.”
About: Dogs have been in my life for as long as I can remember but since meeting my partner (Cara) 13 years ago, we have had the responsibility of looking after our own dogs We lost our Australian terrier 6 years ago but now we have a cocker spaniel who is 5, very well trained with recall and tricks, although very excitable but this is due to the love he is shown regularly. Our dog is walked three times a day so you can guarantee any pet left with us will get exercise if desired. We are dog and animal lovers so they’ll be in great hands.

I’m outdoorsy and a keep fit kind of guy, so weather does not prevent me from getting my steps which is beneficial to me and your pets. Cara is unable to work from home but she makes it for our evening walks and our weekends are centred around our dog, we don’t go anywhere without him and even if we do he is left with our parents, not home alone. I have a fenced back garden, a very friendly dog named Jarvis (working cocker spaniel) which should provide some much needed company and entertainment for your pet.
About: My love of dogs began in 2022 when I moved into my current house. The family I lodge with own two adorable pugs, they stole my heart and never gave it back. Since then I've loved them as my own, taking them on nice long walks most days, mucking in and cleaning up after them and providing lots of daily snuggles on my bed. My room is their room. Plus I provide full time care when their owners go on holiday. I love all dogs. I bartend part time in a dog friendly pub and shower affection on all our doggy visitors. Every dog from Rotties and Boxers to tiny little Daschund's and Chihuahua's. After a redundancy last year my calling became clear. I've been dog sitting and caring for dogs for nearly 4 years, I want to spend my whole day with dogs (to be honest I prefer dogs to humans) so making a career of it makes sense. As well as providing all the love and care in the world, your dog will be in safe hands, I'm conscientious and diligent in watching over them, keeping them safe from food and weeds, keeping them hydrated, thorough with all the clean up and very communicative, I like taking photos of all our fun so you can always be assured your dog is safe and having a wonderful time. I hope you'll choose me as your next dog-sitter, I look forward to meeting you and your furry friend soon. I work as a writer so I'm very flexible, with lots of time to devote to your pawsome friends and can often be available at short notice. Their safety is my number one priority. I keep a watchful eye out at all times, keeping food out of reach and doors locked, if they're out in the garden I make sure it's secure.

About: Growing up surrounded by a vibrant menagerie of animals instilled in me a lifelong love and deep intuitive understanding of pets. This hands-on background has translated into years of trusted, practical experience caring for the dogs of friends and family, treating every pup with the same patience, affection, and attentiveness as my own. I am currently working part time three days on three days off until 2:30 pm but I am looking to take on looking after pets and my full time job soon I have a fenced garden it’s quite small because we have a large shed and 2 cats. Unfortunately there is no grass it is a patio garden.

“Charles and Dexter welcomed Margot for an overnight stay. Charles sent lots of picures of Margot throughout the day. She seemed to have really settled in. I would recommend Charles.”
“Jamie was lovely, I knew Sherlock was in safe hands from the start, he had plenty of walks during his day care and loved spending time with Jarvis the spaniel too. Jamie also has a big garden which I’m sure Sherlock enjoyed having access to! Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend.”
“Amanda did a great job looking after our 8 month old puppy. When we arrived she was warm, calm and professional which gave us total confidence Otto was in safe hands. Otto clearly had a lovely time! We would definitely recommend Amanda to anyone.”
“We had the fortune of meeting Dara when the petsitter we booked cancelled in the last minute. Dara looked after our one year old Yorkie for two weeks. From the beginning, communication was easy and reliable. We visited her before our trip and from the moment we met her we felt reassured that our dog would be in great hands. Dara has Maya, a lovely friendly Spaniel and the area where she lives is fantastic for walks by the canal. While we were away Dara sent us wonderful photos and videos of his walks. Our dog had so much fun, we absolutely enjoyed watching him run around and make so many friends. He spent so much time outdoors and in different parks of London. Dara kept us informed about everything related to Zorro. This was really important as we all missed him so much and also, it made enjoy our holiday without a worry. Also, one super plus is that Dara’s boyfriend was also helping to look after Zorro and we could see how much fun Zorro had playing and how much they enjoyed each other’s company. Finally, I would like to point out that not only is Dara a wonderful pet sitter, but she is also such a lovely person! We wholeheartedly recommend her! Thank you!”
“Our dog, Huxley has just stayed with Becky while we were away for the weekend. He was really excited to see her again and looked instantly at home. He came back on Sunday, tired, relaxed and very happy. Becky sent us pictures and was really friendly and professional throughout. Really helpful too, when I needed to adjust all the travel plans due to train changes. We saw Hux went on some fab walks and looked really settled at her home. She made the whole experience really easy for us and we're looking forward to using her again. We highly recommend Becky!”
“Wanling took great care of my coco over the weekend. She sent me lovely picture updates and it was nice to know coco had a dog buddy to play with. I’ll be booking again!”
“Fern was absolutely amazing looking after our 8 month old puppy for the weekend! Would highly recommend, regularly updates with pictures and videos, really settled our nerves as we were anxious about leaving him. Dexter is already looking forward to his next visit!”
“Tara looked after Cooper whilst I was away at Easter. She was a perfect host, willing to meet me and Coops before the stay, asked lots of questions, gave him great care and sent me regular updates. Would definitely recommend Tara and I will be asking her to take care of Coops in the future.”
About: I’ve grown up with working spaniels and currently have a 2yo cocker, so I’m comfortable with even the most crazy and demanding dogs. I care about meeting breed-specific needs and investing quality time in games that they naturally love. Happy to practice any training you might be working on and I’m understanding of the unique quirks they all seem to have. I will always try to make walks fun and engaging, but my house is a quiet and comfortable environment to relax in - just me and my own dog. There is a fully enclosed garden to run around in and I have a dog-safe car for trips out or emergencies. I work from home 4 days a week (sometimes all week) so have time and flexibility to engage with my dog. A typical day starts with a fun activity walk to engage the brain, followed by plenty of naps and a bit of training/play during the day, then a calm evening on the sofa. My house is dog proof and dog friendly. It’s clean and cosy, but big enough for a bit of space for alone time if needed and I have a fully secure garden with plenty of room to run around, sniff and play games. The road is quiet so very few strange noises to bark at. My dog sleeps overnight in a crate, but he is allowed to chill on the sofa if invited and sometimes on the bed if he’s been good. Treats are always nearby for good behaviour.
“Jo is always fantastic with our 3 British Bulldogs..She’s very reliable. She’s caring , attentive and knowledgeable! They absolutely adore her .. And the house is always beautiful and clean on our return .Thank you so much Jo xxx”
