About: We live in a clean, modern house next door to a large country park where we walk our Sprocker Willow twice a day. When we aren’t at the local park, we use AllTrails to explore walks across the region or you might catch us at our cricket club! James works in Education and holds an Enhanced DBS check for piece of mind. We want to use Rover as an opportunity to trial life with two dogs, during their stay your pooch will very much become part of our little pack. Making sure to send Paw-rents pictures and updates on our day! James has recently completed Pet First Aid Training. James is a Teacher and Samantha works from home in finance. Whilst looking after your doggo we will keep time alone to a absolute minimum but Willow will be around for company! Owners can see our walks on AllTrails if requested! We have a fenced back garden with a soil, decking and stones. We usually leave the door open during the day for Willow and friends to come and go as they please. We are quite happy for visiting pups to sleep wherever they like but will always follow the instructions of their parents! We’d like to think that you are getting a quality service where your dog is treated as ours and will be taken on quality nature walks whilst in our care.

“Sima went above and beyond watching Clancy, and was super flexible even as my pickup time was hard to be precise about. This was my first time leaving my dog with anyone, and she send me regular updates and put my mind at ease. Clancy seems to have had a good time, as well! Highly recommend”


About: I’ve had my own dog for 6 years, I’ve watched friends and families dogs when needed. I absolutely love animals especially dogs. I enjoy being outdoors, so if your dog loves activity we are a perfect match but I’m also happy to give cuddles, strokes and lots of love to dogs that’s less active and just likes to curl up. I’m experienced in giving medication to pets as I do this for my own and have done for friends pets. I have my own little dog, named Albie who’s a shih tzu and he is 6 years old. I spend 3-4 hours outdoors with him per day (split up to 3 walks), I’m available and flexible with whatever routine your dog needs. I have a large enclosed fenced garden with patio area and grass, your pet will never be restricted in my home, they’d be welcome anywhere I’d go and on any furniture. I will love your pet as if they’re my own when they’re with me, I’ll show them all the love, care and attention I’d show my own pet. In my house is my myself, my partner and dog so there will always be someone home with you pet to give them all the strokes and cuddles they need.

“Suzie and Mango absolutely love Victoria and her family. They’re such sweet people. Victoria made me feel so comfortable, I know my babies are in safe hands with her ☺️”


“My spaniel Winnie can be a little shy when she first meets new people, but she loved Charlotte from the moment she met her! She’s always so excited to visit and runs straight out of the car and up to Charlotte’s front door which is such a great sign. I trust Charlotte with Winnie and she’s very reliable too so I would highly recommend.”

About: I’ve had family dogs since I was 3 years old, looking after other family members and friends’ dogs and I have my own cocker spaniel puppy, so am more than happy to look after puppies! 😊 I work full time, but mainly from home. It isn’t a very demanding job, so I get a lot of time to spend with my dog. I have a fully fenced, secure, big back garden that my puppy runs and plays in constantly, lots of dog toys and tennis balls. There are 2 fields I go to regularly just round the corner from me, which is perfect walking distance in the hot weather especially as it’s not too far. My cocker is massively friendly and thrives off playing with others, more so the same age as him. He is also amazing with kids, I have a 5 year old daughter, so any dogs for daytime will need to be okay with young children.
