About: I have been surrounded by animals throughout my life and have experience caring for a wide variety of pets, including dogs, cats, hamsters, rabbits, guinea pigs, and fish. I have trained my own dogs in agility, achieving Grade 5, as well as in Obedience and Trick Dog disciplines, earning recognised titles along the way. I am passionate about animal welfare and dedicated to providing the highest standard of care. I take pride in offering a reliable, professional service that enables more people to enjoy the companionship of dogs, with the confidence that their pets are receiving exceptional care. I currently work part-time, which gives me the flexibility and availability to provide reliable, attentive care tailored to you and your pet's individual needs. I provide a safe, secure home environment with a fully fenced garden and two friendly, well-socialised dogs to keep your pet company. If preferred, I can also accommodate dogs that are crate trained or require crating as part of their routine. I offer both dog walking and home boarding services. Whether you need someone to take your dog for a local walk while you're at work or a caring home-from-home environment while you're away for a few days, you can be confident your pet will receive attentive, personalised care. I also have three children who have grown up around dogs and understand how to interact with them calmly and respectfully, helping to create a welcoming and family-friendly environment for your pet.

“Michael was fantasti! He looked after our Basset Hound like she was his own. Michael sent me regular photos and videos. I will be using Michael again, whenever we need our Polly to be looked after.”

“Barbora was absolutely amazing with my 11 week old Cavapoo and all the challenges a puppy that young brings. She was able to have him with really short notice and was super flexible for me. I will definitely be booking her again”

“Will and his wife were very friendly and welcoming on arrival to drop off Tony. They did everything we asked of them whilst he was in their care. They coped well with him being unsettled in a new place on the first night and it sounds like he settled right in after that. We will use them again when in the area!”

“Anita is the ultimate dog sitter! She is extremely caring, vigilant and always reachable for updates, whenever she takes care of my dog Lola. In fact she's been the only dog sitter who knows how to quickly calm Lola down, soon after I've left her. Anita is also a truly wonderful person, sincere, polite and respectful, in every possible way. Lola loves her!”

About: I give every dog genuine care and attention as if they were my own. I’m patient, reliable, and focused on creating a safe and loving environment for pets of all ages and personalities. I’m comfortable caring for energetic puppies who need consistency, playtime, and basic training reinforcement, as well as senior dogs who may require extra patience, gentle walks, medication reminders, or special attention to their comfort and routines. I also pay close attention to each dog’s behavior, mood, and needs so owners can feel confident their pets are happy and well cared for while they’re away. I work from home most of the time, which means I have plenty of time to give dogs the attention, care, and companionship they need throughout the day. I’m able to provide regular walks, playtime, feeding, bathroom breaks, and lots of affection without pets being left alone for long periods. I live in a spacious modern first-floor flat in a quiet residential area, which gives dogs a peaceful space to rest and settle in comfortably. Abbey Fields is right on my doorstep, providing plenty of open space for regular walks, exercise, playtime, and fresh air.

About: Having been surrounded by pets my entire life - from cats and dogs to horses and lizards - has given me a deeper and innate understanding of animal care. Since I could walk, animals have been a constant presence in my life, which has fostered a genuine love and respect for them. Family and friends frequently rely on me to house sit and look after their pets whist they are away, trusting in my dedication, ability and experience. This lifelong exposure sets me apart from others as I provide a level care and service rooted in a lifetime of hands-on experience and a sincere passion for animal welfare. My commitment to ensuring each pet's well-being and happiness in unwavering, making me uniquely qualified to offer exceptional pet care. I work from home Monday to Friday, ensuring your pet will never be left alone. My routine includes a morning walk and feed before I start work, followed by a lunchtime walk with various toilet breaks throughout the day. After work, I often take the dogs for a longer walk, bathe them if necessary, and feed them their second meal before letting them out one last time before bed. I am more than happy to accommodate any specific routine requirements, as I have the flexibility and luxury of working from home. This allows me to provide consistent and attentive care for your pet. In my home, I provide a safe and welcoming environment for your pets. I have a fenced garden where they can play and exercise, along with a friendly dog to keep them company. I regularly walk and bathe the dogs to ensure they stay healthy and clean. If needed, I can easily crate your dogs for safety and comfort. I love spending quality time cuddling with pets and can continue their training to help them feel secure and well-cared for. Additionally, I am happy to offer house-sitting services so your pets can remain in the comfort of their own home.
