Pet Sitting Stroud

About: We have been a family complete with dogs until May 2025. We miss the companion & I want to offer love & joy for other pets into our life's in our safe space of home. I have raised a larger Doberman & a springer in the last 20+ years. I have also been raised with other breads such as Golden Labrador, German shepherd, Staffies, Jack Russell’s & pugs. Each of our family pets attended puppy school & was crate trained. Both really good & gentle whilst supervised at all times around babies, children, adults & other dogs. Due to old age & health conditions meant we worked hard as a family to offer our pets the best loving health care in the home to meet their fitness needs & abilities keeping them stimulated & safe in all stages of life. When needed we sought guidance from professionals to ensure the best care & quality of life was provided to our fur babies. This allowed us to be in tune with our pets likes & dislikes, recall & training when off lead along with understanding other ways to appropriately stimulate love & nurture them. Away from the home we created many healthy experiences for them to mix with other pets & various breads, on beach & woodland adventures. Our home was a fun filled exciting space with varied pet characteristics which we miss. Days out exploring, garden water play, grooming & snuggles by the fire have brought much joy to our lives. This is what I offer for your pets when in our home, when under my supervision as the sole care person responsible for your pet when boarding with me. I work from home & can break to walk or step into the garden every 2hrs. The pets can be sat in my presence whilst working & can also be seen with free flow in & out of the property & garden in appropriate weather. I offer great flexibility in boarding 24/7. Last minute care & scheduled bookings are both welcome. I would be able to offer 3pets from the same home at any one time. I am flexible to offer both lead & if well trained with good recall off lead walks twice a day AM & PM. Our home is big & spacious with open living space onto a sundeck, a large front & rear garden fully enclosed for free play, stimulating controlled play, challenges & snoozing in the beautiful South west facing garden after long woodland walks in & around the Cotswold way. My previous springer spaniel was an anxious dog due to an early operation limiting puppy engagement. He required lots of carefully managed rehabilitation & gradual social interaction in his recovery. During this time I learnt to administer medication, implement training, stimulate & exercise him. All to suit his age, pace & needs to make an amazing full recovery to be a super fit & social friendly adult, much loved family pet. During this time we managed his recovery with crate rest & would be happy to provide this for other pets that also board at the home. I have one large crate at the property more would need to be provided. I offer free range of the upstairs living area of our property for the dogs to roam, explore & relax. We sleep down stairs & this area would be off limits to the boarding pets. If this is a preference for your pet when boarding with me, we would be able to discuss suitability. I have no children living in the home (just 3 adult dog lovers). I will be the primary carer for your pet during the board, but pets will be fussed by all. I have some family with children ages 9+ who are comfortable & good with dogs. On the occasional visit we would carefully supervise them around any boarding pets adapting to the pets needs.

“Daisy is a friendly, professional and reliable dog walker/sitter. My rescue mini poodle with separation anxiety was comforted by her presence again today. She has a calming influence - my Angus whisperer! Thank you Daisy!”

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was 7. I’ve never not had a dog or been taking care of others. Whether it’s going on walks, dog sitting, volunteering at the RSPCA or more, I’ve always been a dog lover. I only want to let them have the happiest most loving experience life can offer. I have worked with a dog trainer and assisted in training for many dogs as well. I’m currently working full time with a hybrid schedule that allows me to work from home. I’m also able to bring a well behaved dog into the office if necessary. I also drive so transportation is no issue I have recently moved so this is the first time ever that I haven’t had a pet due to not being allowed with this flat. However we always had fenced yards, took the dogs on regular walks and road trips, had stellar relationships with the vet, and would allow the dogs to come inside regularly. They were very well trained as well.

I am extremely punctual and communicative, and I make it a priority to send you detailed updates and plenty of photos so you can see how much fun your pet is having! Safety is my top priority. I am very careful about leash safety, staying aware of our surroundings, and making sure your pet stays hydrated and happy.

I am a dog walker foremost however I can cater for specific needs, please get in touch and we can talk about an specific requirements.

“Liz is great. She visited Fivey twice a day for a weekend and not only administered his injections, checked his food, water and litter but also spent time playing with him and giving him some company. Five took to Liz straightaway which is unusual. Very trustworthy and a thoughtful individual. Would recommend to look after any pet. Will be using Liz again”

About: I've been surrounded by dogs my whole life. We got our first family dog when I was 15 and she became the best friend I needed at that time to get me out the house, play and lift me out of the teenage depression I was in at the time. Since then I have further cared for pooches for family and friends and in the past 5 years have completed house sits across the country for both dogs and cats as well as lived with a few more of them myself. Everywhere I go they keep appearing! People would describe me as gentle, sensitive and dedicated in my work. I am receptive to all of your pets needs and will take care of them wholeheartedly. When you hire me to look after your pet you can rest assured that they will be loved. I'm currently working part-time and flexibly so simply let me know your requirements and I'll get back to you ASAP. I charge a lot more for house sits due to consistent level of care and attention I provide. I ask the owner to provide clear instructions regarding any health and medical needs and anything out the usual. Unless indicated otherwise, I will always keep your dog on the lead, especially to begin with. If trust is developing well and recall is already in place then we can talk about offering more freedom on walks if that is what you would like.

About: I’ve been the proud owner of Bella, a Sprollie (Springer Spaniel x Border Collie), for four years 🐾 Owning a high-energy breed has taught me how to provide both physical exercise and mental stimulation to keep dogs happy and balanced 🧠⚡ During walks, I use consistent commands to encourage good leash manners and calm behaviour. I specialise in on-leash walks and long-lead walks in parks, giving dogs the freedom to explore safely 🦮🌳 Neighbours, friends and family have trusted me with their pets, and I treat every dog with the same care and attention I give Bella ❤️ For boarding, please bring your dog’s own food as every dog is different — some have specific dietary needs due to skin or health conditions and I want to make sure they’re comfortable 🍽️ If you have a favourite blanket or crate you’d like them to use, feel free to bring that along too 🛏️ For walking, just let me know whether you prefer on-leash or off-leash, and give me an idea of their recall so I can keep them safe 🐕 Before any booking, I always arrange a meet and greet so your dog is familiar with me before I come to pick them up — we can sort this out easily during the booking process 🤝😊 I’m currently available on weekends for drop-in visits, boarding, walking and dog sitting 🐾 Your dog will have great company with my Sprollie Bella, who loves making new friends! 🐕 Weekend availability means I can give your pup plenty of time, attention and fun without rushing 😊 I have a two-bedroom house with a fully fenced garden, so your dog can roam and play safely 🏡🌿 We’re just 5 minutes from large green areas around Malmesbury, perfect for both on-leash and off-leash walks 🦮🌳 We also live close to rivers, so just let me know if you’d prefer your dog to stay dry or if they’re happy to get a little wet! 💧 For boarding, please bring your dog’s crate or bed if you have one so they feel right at home 🛏️ We have our own dog bowls but you’re more than welcome to bring your dog’s own if they prefer — whatever keeps them comfortable! 🍽️ Your dog’s safety and happiness is always the priority, and Bella will be on hand to help them settle in 🐾❤️

Your home will be left tidy, with fresh water, clean bowls and happy pets!
