Pet Sitting Stonegate

About: Hi we are Victoria and Fabien. We've both grown up surrounded by dogs, from tiny Yorkshire Terriers to large Deerhounds and Ridgebacks and anything in between, giving us a well-rounded understanding of different breeds and their unique needs. As a couple, we currently own a lively and loving 2-year-old Huntaway who we've trained from a puppy into the confident dog he is today. This hands-on experience has taught us the patience and consistency needed for successful training and positive reinforcement. Victoria also grew up on a farm, caring for a wide variety of animals, further enhancing our understanding of animal care. We're comfortable with dogs of all sizes and energy levels, and are happy to provide everything from playful walks and cuddles to administering medication (if needed and with instructions) and specialised care for senior pets. We pride ourselves on our responsible and attentive approach, ensuring your furry family members are happy, healthy, and safe in our care. Because we're both self-employed, one of us is always home, providing flexibility and consistent care for your pets. Pet care seamlessly integrates into our daily routine. We already take our own dog for walks 2-3 times a day, so adding your furry friend to our outings would be a natural extension of our day. We also have a good-sized garden where dogs can play and enjoy the outdoors. This means your pets will have plenty of exercise, fresh air, and attention throughout the day. Whether it's regular walks, playtime in the garden, or simply companionship, we can easily adapt our schedule to meet your pet's specific needs. We prioritise the safety, trust, and well-being of every pet in our care, whether in our home or yours. Our garden is fully fenced, providing a secure space for dogs to play and explore. We're happy to crate dogs if required by their owners and will follow your specific instructions regarding crating procedures. In our home, we ensure a clean and comfortable environment, free from hazards. We're attentive to each pet's individual needs, providing appropriate exercise, feeding, and any necessary medications (with clear instructions). When caring for pets in their own homes, we respect their space and maintain their routines as much as possible. We are reliable and responsible, and will always communicate promptly with you about your pet's well-being. We understand the trust you place in us, and we take that responsibility very seriously.

“Caroline has been an amazing find! She totally took the stress and worry about leaving our cat alone for the best part of 4 weeks whilst we holidayed in Australia. She provided daily updates, including photos, and full reassurance. My cat is usually fairly standoffish with strangers, but fell in love with Caroline who clearly is a huge animal lover. We will 100% book Caroline for future trips and recommend her to friends with no hesitation whatsoever.”

About: I have walked and looked after dogs since 2023. I have always had a passion for dog breeds since I was very young. I have studied dog behaviour and temperament for a wide variety of dog breeds, in all categories from working, pastoral, gundog, toy, terrier, and utility. I am very happy to look after senior dogs and puppies. If you need a helping hand in the day or a sitter overnight, I am happy to help. I am a university student who studies from home for most of the week. At this current moment in time, I am at home for 7 days a week due to my first semester starting in late September. I am very active and love walking, I also paint and draw during the day, so if your dog prefers to sleep and rest, I am happy to keep them company as well. I live in a detached house with a medium sized garden that is secured. My family has one dog, a 6 year old golden retriever. She is friendly and likes to rule to roost.

“Chloe’s an absolute star. Had 2 drop ins today while I was out for the day. Great updates via the app, posted some great pix of my golden retriever during the visits and even put up with his (loud) barking! Will defo book again for drop ins and dog walks. Reliable and trustworthy. 100% recommended”

I’ve dealt with reactive dogs, working dogs, I’m happy to adjust to whatever the individual dog needs I am currently looking for work so my schedule is very flexible, however when I do get a job things may change but that can be discussed I will cater to each individual dogs needs, if they need more than one walk a day, done. If they need to be crated for certain times a day, that can happen. If they get funny about food, I’ve dealt with food aggressive dogs before. I will adjust according to each individual dog or cat
