About: I’ve had dogs all my life and have hands-on experience caring for a variety of breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I offer home boarding, daycare, and pop-in visits, always making sure each dog feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I have two friendly, well-socialised dogs of my own—a Springer Spaniel (Woody) and a Sprocker (Hugo)—who are used to being around other dogs. I also have two children (aged 10 and 6) who are gentle and respectful with animals. Because of this, I only accept dogs that are friendly and comfortable around both children and other dogs. Your dog will be welcomed into a loving family home with plenty of attention, playtime, and companionship. I treat every dog as if they were my own and aim to provide a calm, safe, and happy environment while you’re away, with regular updates for your peace of mind We both have flexible jobs, which means one of us is often at home and able to give your dog plenty of attention, exercise, and care throughout the day. Dogs may be left for short periods when needed, so they should be comfortable being alone for a little while. Our daily routine includes lots of walks, playtime, and plenty of fuss alongside our own dogs, so your dog will be part of a happy, active home environment. We provide a safe, loving home with a secure fenced garden for outdoor play. We have two friendly, well-socialised dogs who are used to having other dogs around and help new dogs settle in. All dogs are supervised carefully, with calm introductions to make sure everyone is comfortable. We’re happy to follow your dog’s usual routine, including feeding, exercise, and any specific needs, and can crate if required. Our home is clean, relaxed, and focused on making sure your dog feels safe, happy, and well cared for.
About: I’ve been looking after dogs for friends and family for years, often for extended periods while they’re away on holiday. It’s not just quick check-ins, I regularly have dogs for full weeks at a time, so I’m very used to taking on full responsibility for their care and routine. I’ve cared for a mix of breeds, sizes, and personalities, from energetic dogs that need plenty of exercise and stimulation, to more relaxed or older dogs who prefer a slower pace and lots of comfort. What sets me apart is how naturally this fits into my lifestyle. I genuinely enjoy having dogs around, so they’re not just being “looked after”, they’re part of a calm, safe, and friendly environment where they get plenty of attention, affection, and consistency. I’m confident sticking to feeding schedules, walks, and any specific routines your dog is used to, and I understand how important it is for them to feel settled while you’re away. I’ll also keep you updated with messages and photos so you know they’re happy and in good hands. I run my own business from home, which gives me a very flexible schedule and allows me to prioritise pet care throughout the day. This means I can offer regular check-ins, walks, feeding, and plenty of quality time with your pet rather than just quick visits. Whether your dog needs exercise and routine, or your cat prefers a calm presence and consistency, I can easily adapt my schedule to suit them. Because I’m not tied to fixed working hours, I’m able to provide reliable, attentive care and be responsive to your pet’s needs. I care for pets in their own home where they feel most comfortable and secure. I understand how important routine and environment are, especially for cats, and I make sure to keep everything as familiar and stress-free as possible. With lifelong experience caring for animals, including breeding cats and currently caring for a 15-year-old cat, I’m confident handling a range of needs from energetic dogs to more independent or senior pets. I’m comfortable following specific routines, including feeding, walking, litter care, and administering medication if required. I always take the time to understand each pet’s personality so they feel safe and settled. I treat every home with respect and every pet as if they were my own. You’ll receive regular updates and photos, so you can relax knowing they’re in experienced, trustworthy hands.
“Wala and Tony took excellent care of our dog Mina. We received regular updates and photos throughout her stay and felt at ease that she was in a safe and nurturing home. Trustworthy, caring and thoughtful, we would highly recommend Wala and Tony, and have already booked in another stay!”
“Chewie loved his stay with Katie. It was clear Katie was very confident with him, and he immediately seemed chilled and at home. Katie was great with communication before and during Chewie’s stay and we will definitely look to use her for dog-sitting again. Thank you 😊”
“Natalia was amazing with our 11 month old Rottweiler Bruce. He instantly was welcomed into such a calm environment. We were super nervous about leaving him for the first time. But we honestly felt so at ease leaving him with Natalia - he has come back home super chilled and tired. Highly recommend! Thank you so much again!”
“Kiwi had such a good time over Christmas. There were no issues and great communication throughout. I felt super comfortable leaving my puppy with Becky and her family. Will definitely book again!”
“I booked Chloe at short notice after another arrangement fell through, and from her first message I knew Yoji would be in safe hands as she asked all the right questions. I received regular photos and videos, and came home to a very happy, tired pup. I’d happily book with Chloe again.”

“Zoey was a lovely sitter, she really took the time to play with Rex, and he seemed quite happy when I came back. Great communication and sent me lots of photos whilst I was away ! I would happily have Zoey again. ”
“Amazing, dealt with a grumpy morning cat very well. Was brilliant at keeping me informed on my cat, even managed to get some photos of her too. Loved reading the information about the visits. So glad to have opportunity to have her look after Gaia while I was away. Will be first one I call when needing care.”
“Katie is a five star very reliable cat sitter and our cat was well cared for and happy. She was very quick to respond to any communication needed during our holiday. Katie didn't need much in the way of instructions, she picked up everything she needed to know very speedily! We would definitely recommend Katie for your cat sitting needs. ”
“Crystal did a fantastic job at looking after my two kitties for the past few days! Sent regular updates, images/videos and had clear communication the entire time. I highly recommend, and we will be booking with Crystal again. 😊”
“Nataly was a last minute replacement as another sitter had cancelled with less than two days’ notice. We met the day before I travelled (less than 24 hours after I booked) so Nataly could meet Poppy and understand her needs. She was an excellent sitter and made frequent contact with me which was reassuring. I would definitely recommend to others.”
About: I’ve looked after cats my entire life and have a deep understanding of their behaviour, needs, and routines. I previously bred cats, which means I have hands-on experience caring for them at every stage, from kittens through to adulthood. I currently have a 15-year-old cat, so I’m very familiar with senior care, including patience, routine, and recognising subtle changes in behaviour or health. What sets me apart is my calm and intuitive approach. I understand that every cat is different, whether they’re affectionate and playful or more independent and reserved. I take the time to build trust and make sure they feel safe and comfortable in their own environment. I’m confident with feeding routines, litter care, and maintaining a clean, stress-free space. I can also follow specific care instructions if your cat has particular needs. I’ll always keep you updated with messages and photos, so you can relax knowing your cat is in safe, experienced hands.
About: Im Courtney and i cant wait to spoil your cat and others with all the cuddles and treats they deserve! Ive had many animals in the past (and still do), but my number one baby is my black cat called Rosie. She has been in my life for 18 years now! Even know she has a grumpy face, she is the most sweetest cat ever. I have a friendly, creative and compassionate personality. Ive always wanted to get into animal work of my own such as animal sitting, i love seeing all the different smiles from all fur babies
About: I became a dog and cat groomer in 2021 and have since done training in handling, management of, behaviour and care to make sure all my clients (furry or not!) have the best possible experience with me! This training has helped me so much with walking and sitting for friends and families pets. I joined Rover to broaden my horizons and meet more like minded people and their pets. I look forward to meeting you and your fur babies! Please note: House sitting is not a 24 hour service. During the week I will attend my 9-5 job, during my breaks I will come back to your house to provide your pets with company and any outside time they need (Weedon only!). House sitting during weekends will consist of popping in and out of the house to toilet and keep your pet some company for a few hours per visit, provide walks if needed, an overnight stay is included Rover has a very limited selection of services they offer, however I understand that not all prices shown are specific to each situation e.g additional pet rates, care required per pet and size of dog ect. Please contact me if pricing seems too high and we can amend this accordingly. I'm available for house/pet sitting on weekends and some Mondays, I can walk dogs in the evenings on weekdays and am available all weekend for this too Every safety precaution will be taken when pet sitting at your home, I'm happy to meet prior to the service in order to gain more understanding of your home and safety concerns. When walking, I will be happy to double lead dogs if you wish and stick to areas they know and are comfortable with if needed
“Katherine was just what we needed in a cat sitter. Always on time and provided great updates on our very sassy girl. Would highly recommend and we will definitely ask her to cat sit again for us”
About: I’ve taken care of neighbours cats before, making sure to give them lots of love and attention. I truely love cats, and always make sure they feel happy and calm. I own a senior cat so I am well equipped in that department in terms of fragile care and making sure senior cats are taken care with the correct handling
About: What sets me apart from other dog sitters is my unique blend of experience and passion for all stages of a dog's life. I grew up around dogs and now that I have moved out I am really missing their company so would love to help out. I currently work from home so I will be at home nearly every day so I will be able to give my full attention to the animal. I have a fenced garden where the animals can go, however I love long walks so they will get plenty of outdoors time. We live in a one bed house so will have space for a crate

“Thank you for taking such great care of Tashi. Each morning she's at your door wagging her tail, for the day ahead. Always greats communication with photos throughout the day”
“I would highly recommend Nataly to anybody that would need somebody to look after their dog or puppy while at work. She has sent photos and given updates throughout both days Luna has been with her so far, and has also given me some tips on how to keep her burning energy even when she is eating, which is great considering Luna is a very energetic 9 week old puppy. This was my first time arranging anything like this, so I was anxious at first but I am very glad that I have found Nataly to look after Luna. Luna has come back home happy each time and I will definitely be arranging more days for Luna to see Nataly!!”
About: I grew up with dogs my whole life. Been missing having a pet around since moving to the UK and would love to help out by taking care of your dogs. My partner Jon who lives with me has always loved dogs and wants to gain more experience with them to hopefully one day get our own. One of us is currently working from home each day. We will be around to give your dog all the attention they are needing. We don’t work weekends and love spending our days out on walks and in the garden. We have a large fenced in garden for your dog to enjoy. We live near a large park where we can go on long walks with dogs if needed.
“Jessica has been amazing and I cannot speak highly enough regarding the fantastic care she has given to my 2 dogs. This is the first time Ive left them, and I was worried about whether it was the right thing to do. Jessica quickly allayed any fears. We had a meet and greet the day before, and went out for a walk to get to know each other. Jessica is very personable, easy to chat to, and most of all so gentle and caring with dogs. I left them feeling confident about the fact they would be well looked after, and they were. I got lots of updates and pictures throughout the day, and when I went to pick up my dogs there were calm and relaxed. I would not hesitate to book again. Thank you Jessica”
“Amy and Tristan made me feel completely at ease from the moment I met them. They are friendly and caring and kept me updated throughout Koah’s stay. Koah came home happy and worn out after nice walks in the local woods! I would recommend and will definitely be using them again. Thank you!”
“Natalia agreed to take care of my German Shepherd pup at quite late notice. She was communicative and I think he had a great time! Would definitely book with her again!”
About: With years of hands on experience with my own dogs, I treat every dog like my own- offering patience, love and reliable care. I focus on building trust, understanding each dog’s personality, and making their time away from you stress-free. I have retired early from a long teaching career so I now have time on my hands to pursue other pleasures in life. My time is pretty flexible now on a weekly basis for daily dog walks and short or longer dog boarding in our lovely home. Our home has a walled secure garden. Dogs are free to roam around downstairs and come and go into the garden as they please. The kitchen tends to be the favourite place as there’s a warm range cooker on at all times. I also have a crate for dogs if they need a little space or time out! I have two elderly mini schnauzer’s and a old black lab who are all very laid back!
About: I’ve had dogs all throughout my childhood, and now I have moved out of home and bought my own place, I’m looking to help others with their furry bestie. I work from home during the week on a flexible work pattern, so I’m able to pop out and attend to your dogs needs when necessary. I have a fenced garden (with grass!) and a camera outside the house for extra protection. I work downstairs so your dog will never feel like they are alone.
“Adam is a superstar. First time for us leaving our dogs and as soon as we met Adam we instantly felt relieved and knew our dogs would be well looked after. They both came back happy and slept well after all the running around.”
About: At our farmhouse, dogs aren't just guests—they are the centre of our life! We live in a spacious home surrounded by open fields, offering the ultimate retreat for your furry friend. Whether your dog loves to sprint through meadows or prefers a quiet sniff around the lanes, we have the perfect environment for them. • Secure Exercise: We have private, enclosed dog paddocks on-site, allowing for safe, off-lead running and play without any worry. • Professional Expertise: My husband is a professional dog trainer, meaning we are deeply experienced in reading dog body language and managing various temperaments. • Quiet Countryside Walks: We are tucked away from the hustle and bustle, with access to beautiful, peaceful local walks right on our doorstep. • Constant Company: I am home for the majority of the day. Your dog will be integrated into our daily farm life, receiving plenty of attention, play, and supervision. Our Resident Pack Your pup will be joining our friendly and diverse trio: • Mouse: Our energetic Working Cocker Spaniel (always ready for a game). • Enzo: Our loyal German Shepherd family protection dog. • Ruby: Our lovely, "very lazy" Bulldog (the master of nap time). A True Home-Away-From-Home We understand that leaving your dog is a big deal. Because we have a toddler, we maintain a calm, structured, and clean environment. We are used to looking after multiple dogs at once and pride ourselves on providing a high-energy outdoor lifestyle balanced with cozy evenings by the fire. Whether your dog needs a high-intensity weekend of exercise or a relaxed stay in the country, we can’t wait to welcome them to the family! Our daily life is built entirely around the needs of our dogs. Because of our staggered work schedules, our home is almost never empty. My husband works during the day, and I work in the evenings, meaning there is nearly always a human on-site to provide attention, play, and security. • Frequent Fresh Air: We utilise our three AstroTurf paddocks and our large grass paddock throughout the day. Dogs are let out every two hours for toilet breaks, stretching their legs, and supervised play. • Countryside Adventures: In addition to paddock time, we head out for one or two long countryside walks daily to enjoy the local scenery and fresh air. • Seamless Supervision: I am home throughout the day with the pack. Our dogs are only ever left for a short window (typically between 3 PM – 5 PM) during the "handover" when I head to work and my husband returns home. • Evening Wind-Down: Evenings are spent in the farmhouse where the dogs can relax after an active day. Availability We offer boarding 7 days a week (weekdays and weekends). Because we have a structured routine with our own three dogs, guest dogs slot right into our "farmhouse family" life with ease! • Double-Gated Security: Our entire property is enclosed by a secure perimeter fence. • Paddocks: We have four dedicated, high-fence paddocks (three AstroTurf and one large grass) where dogs can exercise off-lead in a completely controlled environment. • Zoned Living: Inside the house, we utilise a "crate and rotate" or separated living style. We keep our own three dogs in separate areas of the home when necessary to ensure guest dogs have their own space to relax and decompress without feeling overwhelmed. Professional Management: • Expert Oversight: With a professional dog trainer in the house, we are experts at reading canine body language. We never leave guest dogs unsupervised with our own pack or our toddler. • Individual Care: We have various sizes of crates available if your dog is crate-trained and prefers their own "bedroom" for sleeping or mealtimes. • Safe Walking: When we leave the property for countryside walks, we use high-quality leads and remain in quiet, low-traffic areas to keep stress levels low. Trust & Peace of Mind: Because I am home during the day and my husband is home in the evenings, your pet is monitored around the clock. We are used to managing multiple dogs and understand the importance of routine, clear boundaries, and lots of supervised fun!
About: I’ve grown up having a variety of dogs from Labradors to Belgian Malinois & German shepherds. I currently own a 4 year old working cocker spaniel.

With more flexibility during school holidays I treat every dog as my own and take great enjoyment from spending time with them it’s what I love to do, they will receive the best service on my care.
About: Ever since I can remember, I have always been surrounded by furry animals of all sizes. I have always been able to house/dog sit for my Dad's west highland terrier - Trixy - and Sister's Labrador Retriever - Millie. I enjoy training, walking and looking after all kinds of dogs. I have also always grown up with cats around and love them equally as much as dogs 💛 🐶 😺 I am currently studying and have moved back home to Peterborough, so I'm free to look after your beloved animal any day of the week throughout the summer.

“Thank you Mark. Mark helped us with a dog walk when kids asked for a day out in London. We always planned days out where our dog could come with us but London would have been too much for her. It gave us comfort knowing that she had a walk & company mid day. Will book again.”
“I can highly recommend Adam. We have used him on several occasions and can honestly say he is great with my cockerpoo who can be a bit clingy and a bit of a madam. Thanks again”
“Stacey is fantastic very friendly and caring for pearl handled everything in the was I asked quite specific due to her size hopefully they meet again very soon on a more regular basis”
About: Hi! I’m a caring and responsible dog lover who has been a dedicated dog owner since April 2020. Although I don’t have formal pet sitting experience, I have hands-on experience caring for my own dogs every day — including raising a few newborn puppies. This has made me especially patient, gentle, and attentive to dogs’ needs at every stage of life. I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pet. I will treat your dog like my own family member, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved at all times. Pet care is already part of my daily life as a dog owner, so I easily incorporate it into my routine. I am available after 4:30pm on weekdays and all day on weekends. I also work from home one day between Tuesday and Thursday, which means I can offer daytime care and keep your dog company instead of leaving them alone. I have a flexible schedule during these times and can provide reliable, attentive care, ensuring your pet receives plenty of companionship, supervision, and love. I specialise in caring for pets in their own home, where they feel most comfortable and secure. By keeping your pet in a familiar environment, I help reduce stress and maintain their normal routine. I carefully follow all instructions, stay attentive to their behaviour, and make sure they feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for at all times. This approach is especially beneficial for dogs who are anxious, shy, or simply prefer staying in their own space. I’m also happy to provide regular photo and video updates for your peace of mind.
“We were very pleased to meet Nataly for the first time today. She arrived promptly and was immediately liked by our pets. She has a lovely caring manner and asked all the relevant questions about their care which gave us great confidence that they would be looked after competently and kindly. It was a wet day for walking and our dog was muddy on return and Nataly carefully cleaned her paws and legs. We would recommend her without hesitation”

About: I've taken care of dogs “professionally” ever since I’ve been 14 years old. This also doesn’t include the fact I have grown up with them during childhood. Neighbours, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets. I have a senior dog myself since she’s been a puppy I’ve been there for all her care and support necessary including surgery recovery. I am a student. Even if I’m not home which most likely I will be the whole time there will be a resposible adult home. I am completely available to board from Friday till Sunday with acceptions on weekdays. Sitting and walking can occur from weekdays and weekends. I have a fenced yard and a friendly dog to keep your fur baby company. I can easily crate your dog if needed, kept separate, walks only on leashes and alone.
About: Dogs have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. I currently own two Rottweilers and a German Shepherd and have grown up around Rottweilers and other large breeds throughout my life. My experience has given me confidence in handling strong, energetic dogs as well as understanding different personalities, temperaments and training needs. I am comfortable with large breeds, working breeds, puppies and senior dogs, and I know how important routine, exercise, patience and positive interactions are. Friends, family and neighbours have trusted me to care for their pets over the years, whether that involves walking, feeding, playtime, companionship or maintaining their normal routine while they're away. I treat every dog as if they were my own and strive to provide a safe, loving and reliable environment where owners can feel confident that their pets are in experienced hands. Why I Love Dogs Dogs have always been a part of my family and daily life. I genuinely enjoy spending time with them, whether that's going for walks, playing, training or simply giving them attention and companionship. Building trust with each dog and seeing them happy and comfortable is one of the most rewarding parts of caring for them. Skills ✓ Large breed experience ✓ Rottweiler experience ✓ German Shepherd experience ✓ Puppy care ✓ Senior dog care ✓ High-energy dogs ✓ Basic training reinforcement ✓ Comfortable with strong dogs on walks Caring for dogs is already part of my everyday life as I own two Rottweilers and a German Shepherd. I provide regular exercise, enrichment and companionship, and I have a Nissan Navara, allowing me to safely transport dogs to secure dog fields and walking locations for extra exercise and stimulation. I am committed to treating every dog as if they were my own. I provide a safe, structured and caring environment where dogs can feel comfortable and relaxed. With years of experience owning and handling large breeds, I am confident managing dogs of different sizes, ages and temperaments. I follow owners' routines closely, provide regular updates and can transport dogs safely for walks and visits to secure dog fields when appropriate. Your dog's safety and wellbeing will always be my priority.

I am working part-time, and would love to spend some of my spare time helping other families with their pets, when they can't be there I am happy to visit your pup for play dates and potty time. Or if it is required, I can take your dog for lead walks
About: Having had rescued dogs throughout my whole life, I understand each dogs needs are varied and the wide responsibilities that comes with that. I have masses of experiences in walking family dogs and looking after them independently. I have pet sat for many friends and feel I am truly reliable and can be trusted. I have recently moved to the area to be closer to my family, and have full availability for looking after any pet needs. As I only work from home for a few hours per week, I can be available what you are at your full time job and look after your pet. I do not currently have any ability to sit any dogs in my home. In an owners home, I will make sure the pet is always well looked after, with regular walks, lots of attention and well timed feeding.
About: I’ve had dogs all throughout my childhood, and now I have moved out of home and bought my own place, I’m looking to help others with their furry bestie. I work from home during the week on a flexible work pattern, so I’m able to pop out and attend to your dogs needs when necessary. I have a fenced garden (with grass!) and a camera outside the house for extra protection. I work downstairs so your dog will never feel like they are alone.
About: I became a dog and cat groomer in 2021 and have since done training in handling, management of, behaviour and care to make sure all my clients (furry or not!) have the best possible experience with me! This training has helped me so much with walking and sitting for friends and families pets. I joined Rover to broaden my horizons and meet more like minded people and their pets. I look forward to meeting you and your fur babies! Please note: House sitting is not a 24 hour service. During the week I will attend my 9-5 job, during my breaks I will come back to your house to provide your pets with company and any outside time they need (Weedon only!). House sitting during weekends will consist of popping in and out of the house to toilet and keep your pet some company for a few hours per visit, provide walks if needed, an overnight stay is included Rover has a very limited selection of services they offer, however I understand that not all prices shown are specific to each situation e.g additional pet rates, care required per pet and size of dog ect. Please contact me if pricing seems too high and we can amend this accordingly. I'm available for house/pet sitting on weekends and some Mondays, I can walk dogs in the evenings on weekdays and am available all weekend for this too Every safety precaution will be taken when pet sitting at your home, I'm happy to meet prior to the service in order to gain more understanding of your home and safety concerns. When walking, I will be happy to double lead dogs if you wish and stick to areas they know and are comfortable with if needed
About: I have grown up around cats and dogs my whole life. I have looked after pets of differing sizes and ages, belonging to friends and family. I have pet sat regularly, whether that's a daily visit or living with the pet for at least a week. I am hybrid working so have the flexibility in my schedule to visit pets or stay with them for extended periods of time. Whilst I do visit my office during the week, there is again flexibility for when that can be. I am also very active so can use the exercise of a pet as part of my routine, giving me more time to attend to your animal. I have a fenced garden to allow your pet outside. There is also a lot of space throughout the house. In the pet owners home I would ensure to keep the environment as normal as possible to ensure they feel safe and happy at all times.
About: I have been taking care of pets, my own and clients, for 10+ years. I’ve taken care of every animal type from dogs and cats and other animals I’m also well versed in medication administration. Please refer to my calendar for availability or feel free to send a message to ask about schedules or for any questions you have :) Currently unable to provide sitting for pets in my own home due to having a small space. But I am more than happy to take care of your babies in your home where they will likely feel more comfortable anyway!
About: I’ve had dogs around me since a child from puppies to rescue dogs. I’m reliable and trustworthy and will give your dog the same level of care that you give them at home. I’m currently working part time so I have lots of time to play with and care for your dog. I'm available mostly in the week to take for walks and board and can be flexible with weekends. I have a fenced small garden so your pet is safe, there is also lots of parks and open land locally to take your dog for fun walks. There is also space for crates if your dog requires it.

About: I’ve been looking after dogs for friends and family for years, often for extended periods while they’re away on holiday. It’s not just quick check-ins, I regularly have dogs for full weeks at a time, so I’m very used to taking on full responsibility for their care and routine. I’ve cared for a mix of breeds, sizes, and personalities, from energetic dogs that need plenty of exercise and stimulation, to more relaxed or older dogs who prefer a slower pace and lots of comfort. What sets me apart is how naturally this fits into my lifestyle. I genuinely enjoy having dogs around, so they’re not just being “looked after”, they’re part of a calm, safe, and friendly environment where they get plenty of attention, affection, and consistency. I’m confident sticking to feeding schedules, walks, and any specific routines your dog is used to, and I understand how important it is for them to feel settled while you’re away. I’ll also keep you updated with messages and photos so you know they’re happy and in good hands. I run my own business from home, which gives me a very flexible schedule and allows me to prioritise pet care throughout the day. This means I can offer regular check-ins, walks, feeding, and plenty of quality time with your pet rather than just quick visits. Whether your dog needs exercise and routine, or your cat prefers a calm presence and consistency, I can easily adapt my schedule to suit them. Because I’m not tied to fixed working hours, I’m able to provide reliable, attentive care and be responsive to your pet’s needs. I care for pets in their own home where they feel most comfortable and secure. I understand how important routine and environment are, especially for cats, and I make sure to keep everything as familiar and stress-free as possible. With lifelong experience caring for animals, including breeding cats and currently caring for a 15-year-old cat, I’m confident handling a range of needs from energetic dogs to more independent or senior pets. I’m comfortable following specific routines, including feeding, walking, litter care, and administering medication if required. I always take the time to understand each pet’s personality so they feel safe and settled. I treat every home with respect and every pet as if they were my own. You’ll receive regular updates and photos, so you can relax knowing they’re in experienced, trustworthy hands.
“Natalia was amazing with our 11 month old Rottweiler Bruce. He instantly was welcomed into such a calm environment. We were super nervous about leaving him for the first time. But we honestly felt so at ease leaving him with Natalia - he has come back home super chilled and tired. Highly recommend! Thank you so much again!”
“Hannah has been the best dog sitter I could ask for! Totally understanding and unphased of a bigger dog, let us come and meet and greet before and sent us regular updates of how all the dogs were getting on. Hunter is a lovely dog also and Ragnar got on with him so well!! Thank you Hannah!”
About: At our farmhouse, dogs aren't just guests—they are the centre of our life! We live in a spacious home surrounded by open fields, offering the ultimate retreat for your furry friend. Whether your dog loves to sprint through meadows or prefers a quiet sniff around the lanes, we have the perfect environment for them. • Secure Exercise: We have private, enclosed dog paddocks on-site, allowing for safe, off-lead running and play without any worry. • Professional Expertise: My husband is a professional dog trainer, meaning we are deeply experienced in reading dog body language and managing various temperaments. • Quiet Countryside Walks: We are tucked away from the hustle and bustle, with access to beautiful, peaceful local walks right on our doorstep. • Constant Company: I am home for the majority of the day. Your dog will be integrated into our daily farm life, receiving plenty of attention, play, and supervision. Our Resident Pack Your pup will be joining our friendly and diverse trio: • Mouse: Our energetic Working Cocker Spaniel (always ready for a game). • Enzo: Our loyal German Shepherd family protection dog. • Ruby: Our lovely, "very lazy" Bulldog (the master of nap time). A True Home-Away-From-Home We understand that leaving your dog is a big deal. Because we have a toddler, we maintain a calm, structured, and clean environment. We are used to looking after multiple dogs at once and pride ourselves on providing a high-energy outdoor lifestyle balanced with cozy evenings by the fire. Whether your dog needs a high-intensity weekend of exercise or a relaxed stay in the country, we can’t wait to welcome them to the family! Our daily life is built entirely around the needs of our dogs. Because of our staggered work schedules, our home is almost never empty. My husband works during the day, and I work in the evenings, meaning there is nearly always a human on-site to provide attention, play, and security. • Frequent Fresh Air: We utilise our three AstroTurf paddocks and our large grass paddock throughout the day. Dogs are let out every two hours for toilet breaks, stretching their legs, and supervised play. • Countryside Adventures: In addition to paddock time, we head out for one or two long countryside walks daily to enjoy the local scenery and fresh air. • Seamless Supervision: I am home throughout the day with the pack. Our dogs are only ever left for a short window (typically between 3 PM – 5 PM) during the "handover" when I head to work and my husband returns home. • Evening Wind-Down: Evenings are spent in the farmhouse where the dogs can relax after an active day. Availability We offer boarding 7 days a week (weekdays and weekends). Because we have a structured routine with our own three dogs, guest dogs slot right into our "farmhouse family" life with ease! • Double-Gated Security: Our entire property is enclosed by a secure perimeter fence. • Paddocks: We have four dedicated, high-fence paddocks (three AstroTurf and one large grass) where dogs can exercise off-lead in a completely controlled environment. • Zoned Living: Inside the house, we utilise a "crate and rotate" or separated living style. We keep our own three dogs in separate areas of the home when necessary to ensure guest dogs have their own space to relax and decompress without feeling overwhelmed. Professional Management: • Expert Oversight: With a professional dog trainer in the house, we are experts at reading canine body language. We never leave guest dogs unsupervised with our own pack or our toddler. • Individual Care: We have various sizes of crates available if your dog is crate-trained and prefers their own "bedroom" for sleeping or mealtimes. • Safe Walking: When we leave the property for countryside walks, we use high-quality leads and remain in quiet, low-traffic areas to keep stress levels low. Trust & Peace of Mind: Because I am home during the day and my husband is home in the evenings, your pet is monitored around the clock. We are used to managing multiple dogs and understand the importance of routine, clear boundaries, and lots of supervised fun!
