“Ben and Rebecca have been caring for our three and a half-month-old Roger for almost a week. We were concerned about his interaction with other dogs as he is still a young puppy and easily frightened. Ben and Rebecca were exceptional with our boy. They have provided excellent care, taught him how to play with other dogs, adhered to his usual routine and treated him as if he were their own. Ben kept us regularly updated and sent us numerous videos and photographs. When we returned to collect Roger he appeared very happy and comfortable. He frequently sought cuddles from Ben and Rebecca. Ben and Rebecca, thank you for looking after our Roger. You are both fantastic! Roger will be delighted to return and spend more time with you. Thank you again for being so great with our boy.”

Thank you for looking after our pampered pooch as we would Polly, Hamish and of course Bentley”

“Carlos is amazing. He’s reasonably priced, super reliable and very friendly. I was worried about leaving my dog as she has bad separation anxiety but she had a great time with the whole family and his dog. 10/10 would recommend and will be using again in the future.”
About: Hi I'm Kim, an enthusiastic do lover from birth. I've always been around dogs from a young age. I've cared and loved my own terrier for 5 years now and he is the loveliest little boy you will ever meet. It can be a nervous time trusting a stranger with your fur baby but my aim is to treat your dog as if they were my own. I am more then happy to broaden my experience and care for other breeds and wonderful animals. I will also send you photos and videos and keep you updated on what your doggo is up to I live in a friendly neighbourhood in a cosy, and safe environment with a fenced off garden to run around in. I regularly go out for walks with my dog the same time every day. I try and mix things up and visit different places or routes to make it interesting. Feeding is also part of the routine at the same time, day and night. Your dog will have toys to play with and a friend to socialise with in my very cosy and open home. Dogs have free reign of the whole house, Chilling on the sofa or cuddles in bed, water is regularly topped up and an abundant of treats are always on stand by
“Laura was an absolute god send, she had our dog whilst we went away on holiday for almost 2 weeks. She is a very lovely person and it was really reassuring knowing our dog was so well looked after. Laura was very accommodating to lulu's usual routine, and wanted her to feel totally at home. She had the run of the house and was even allowed to sleep on the bed like she does at home. She had the best time with Laura and her family, who also spoilt her with lots of attention and cuddles (even doggy ice cream). We are extremely grateful and would not choose anyone else to look after her when we go away again in the future. Thank you so much Laura!”
“Lyndsey and her family were absolutely amazing when she looked after our Lola. She followed everything we asked, and also sent lots of pictures and updates throughout the 2 weeks she had her. I would have no reservations in recommending Lyndsey to look after anyone's fur baby, ours will be visiting again next year without doubt. Thank you Lyndsey.”
“This was my dog’s second stay with Gemma. Darcie can be quite timid but she took to Gemma and her family straight away. Gemma kept me updated and sent photos of Darcie’s adventures. I know that Darcie is being cared for as I would so I can relax and enjoy my holiday. Highly recommend Gemma and I will be booking her again.”
“Highly recommend! I felt incredibly comfortable leaving our dog with Rebecca. Her experience and love for dogs was obvious right from the start. Plus, her excellent communication and regular updates were so helpful and reassuring while we were away. I will definitely book with her again and recommend to anyone looking for this service. Thank you 😊”
“Emma was fantastic with Tinkerbell and Charlie. Very attentive and proactive. Especially with my older dog who had a small problem, however Emma acted quickly and compassionately and kept me updated. Emma sent lovely pictures of them enjoying walks, and cuddles on the sofa. Would definitely use her again.. if she is willing!”
“Elena looked after Parker for us for two nights. We had met her before at an arranged meet and greet-which went really well. Whilst Parker was in Elena’s care, she kindly sent us regular updates with photographs, so we knew he was ok. Gave us a summary of how he had been on collection. Would recommend Elena. Thank you for having Parker for us.”
“Dave was a fantastic sitter for my very timid whippet he was so patient with her and took time to understand her ‘unique ways’ I would definitely ask Dave to look after Cagney again.”

Both cats are quite shy but they've taken to her 🥰🥰 so nice to know i can pop away now and not rely on neighbours Thank you so much Philippa 🥰”
“Thank you so very much Fernanda, you shared lots of pics of a happy Pippy, very reassuring . We returned to find her just as we left her, so thank you for brushing the seeds from her fur (which she picks up on a daily basis). Fernanda is a very reliable & respectful sitter, I recommend her 100%.”

About: Since I was born, I have grown up in a household with multiple cats. I absolutely adore cats and I understand their subtle body language queues. I have taken care of my neighbours cats whilst they went on holiday and have regularly called in and looked after my sisters bengal.
About: What sets me apart is the genuine care and dedication I bring to every dog I look after. I’ve been a dog sister (my mum's dog) for over 10 years, so I understand dogs aren’t just pets—they’re family. I’m extremely reliable, caring, and attentive, and I always treat each dog as if they were my own. I’m fit, healthy, and active, and I walk every day, which means your dog will get plenty of exercise, enrichment, and outdoor time tailored to their energy level. I’m confident handling dogs of different sizes, ages, and personalities, including seniors who need extra patience and gentler care. I’m naturally calm, affectionate, and loving (dog kisses are always welcome!), and I focus on creating a safe, happy, and stress-free environment. Whether it’s long walks, companionship, or simply making sure your dog feels secure and loved while you’re away, you can trust that they’ll be in caring, capable hands with me. Pet care fits naturally into my routine. I work full time as a teacher, so I’m available for dog walking in the evenings and on weekends. I already walk daily, so fitting pet walks into my schedule is easy and consistent. Dog boarding is available on weekends only, which allows me to give dogs my full attention, plenty of exercise, and lots of companionship without weekday time constraints. I plan my schedule carefully to make sure every pet receives dependable, high-quality care, love, and attention during the times I commit to. I tailor my care to each pet’s individual needs, routine, and personality. I always take time to understand a dog’s feeding schedule, exercise needs, training cues, and any special requirements so they feel comfortable and secure. In my home, dogs are treated like part of the family. They receive plenty of love, supervision, regular walks, playtime, and a calm, safe environment. I keep routines consistent and make sure dogs have their own space to relax while also enjoying lots of attention and affection. In a pet owner’s home, I respect your space and follow your instructions closely. I focus on maintaining your dog’s normal routine, providing walks, feeding, playtime, companionship, and any basic care needed. I’m reliable, tidy, and trustworthy, and I always make sure pets feel happy, safe, and well cared for while you’re away.
“Wonderful - thank you so much, Jess! It was such a relief knowing Bear was in safe hands the whole time I was away. You seem like a very lovely and caring person and ideal for this job. I couldn’t have asked for better care. Thank you again!”
“Jess has ensured our cat has been cared for whilst we had a short break away. Great peace of mind, Jess adds photos and important info to let us know how she is! Would highly recommend.”
About: Even if you have the slightest bit of experience with cats, it's well known that cats can have a lot of personality and sometimes boundaries. Whether it's tons of fuss or a little bit of space that's something to be respected. 😺 Growing up with cats my whole life, I am well aware that clean water is an absolute must. During stays I would frequently clean and refill water & food bowls, I would also be sure to maintain litter boxes. 💧 I absolutely adore cats and would treat them as if they were my own, giving them all the love, attention, grooming, play time and/or space that they require. 🥎 Whether they are young or old, I am comfortable caring for cats of all ages. If your cat requires any medication or being bottle fed I would be comfortable administering this for them, providing you tell me specific dosages and if need be, show me how you would typically do this for them. 💊
About: I have looked after cats my whole life alongside dogs. I love looking after all types of animals no matter what they are, I have also taken animal first aid courses and am very used to administering medication if needed
“Gemma was brilliant at making our slightly timid cat be at ease and our cat warmed up to her in now time. Gemma responds promptly and is a brilliant cat sitter. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for someone to take care of their furry friend!”

“Ben was great, would definitely recommend and will be asking for his services again! Our dog was really happy there, there was lots of photos and videos of him to keep us updated which was really appreciated.”
“Zoe loved staying with Kassandra and Maggie today and I think she has made new friends. When leaving, Zoe was whining as I don't think she wanted to leave:-) Kassandra has a love for dogs and was caring and kind towards Zoe and has a lovely clean house. It has been easy to communicate with Kassandra over the App and in person.”
“We wanted to find a sitter for Murphy who would treat him like he was their own when he was away from us… and today we found them! Murphy has had a lovely day and I’m so happy that we’ve found fabulous people to care for our fur baby when we need it! 10/10 - 5* - A++++”
“Barney our 10 week Springer had a fantastic day with Sarah today. It was lovely hearing what a great day he had. He's shattered now from all his doggy playtime. Thank you Sarah”
“River had a great time with Lucie for daycare 🐾 We booked at short notice and Lucie was quick to respond and happy to arrange a meet & greet before the booking took place. We received updates & photos during Rivers stay and it was clear to see that River has enjoyed her day! Thank you ☺️”
“What a wonderful experience. Kim and Casey where really good....I was kept up to date with photos all day long, very flexible with delivering and puck up times and I could see from the photos that Shanti wad feeling at home which is what you really want for your dog....i will recommend Kim and use her day care again....thank you so much”
“Tracy and Seb managed to fit me in last minute and were so amazing. They welcomed both my dogs and me into their home at drop off and made sure the dogs were comfortable all day especially in the heat. When I picked Missy and Bugs up they both had very waggy tails and could not get enough scratches off them both before we left. Can not wait to book them again.”
About: I've had dogs for the past 8 years and have previously looked after family and friends dogs too as my day job (environmental economist) is 100% remote from home. This means I am always at home with my Golden doodle Briannah and would love to extend our hometo other dogs too either for day care or dog boarding. I enjoy an active life style and live in rural Dorrington within a short walk from an open field and countryside with plenty of opportunities for dogs to exercise on or off the lead. As explained in my bio I work from home so I am typically always in the house during a normal working day. I walk my dog twice a day morning and evening where we go to the nearby field and play fetch or go for a country walk in the surrounding public footpaths. However I can accommodate 3 walks a day if that is what your dog is used to. We have a decent sized fenced garden and I let my dog go out as much as she wants to and I would do the same for yours. If he or she likes company I can set up their dog bed in my study and they can be by my side at all times. As I explained the garden is a good size (around 90m2) and is fenced so there is no way out. I am happy to walk off lead at your recommendation particularly if they like to play fetch but would keep them on the lead otherwise. We have 3 children age ranges 0 to 9 and my older two love to see new dogs and will typically get me to ask if we may pet them whilst we are out and about. As we have a cat dogs who are used to them are preferred. Either way my cat will typically hide at first as she did when we got our dog but with time she learns to trust them.
About: As a teacher, I am naturally patient, reliable and caring, and I bring those same qualities to looking after animals. I absolutely adore pets and treat every animal as if they were my own. I do not have children, so my own dog is very much my baby, and I understand how important it is to find someone you can completely trust with your pet. I have experience caring for both cats and dogs, including looking after neighbours’ pets while they are away on holiday, regularly caring for my parents’ and sister’s pets, and dog walking for elderly neighbours. I am confident with animals of different ages and temperaments and always take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable and loved. What sets me apart is the level of care and attention I give to every pet. I know every animal has their own routine, personality and needs, and I am happy to adapt to what makes them happiest. Whether that is long walks, lots of play and attention, or a calm and gentle approach for older or more nervous pets, I will always provide the same level of care that I would expect for my own dog. I currently have 6 weeks off over the summer holidays. Due to not having children, I can be incredibly flexible with pet care. I take my own dog for 3 walks a day anyway and enjoy physical activity. I have one cavapoo boy dog who absolutely loves company. We have a lovely fenced garden that we will often play in, an endless supply of toys and even a small paddling pool for the summer hotter months.
About: Hello, I’m Karen. Having grown up with dogs, especially varying types of spaniels, my love for them has grown even more into adulthood and I understand that dogs are family. I have a passion for learning and understanding all different types of dogs. I have 40+ years of experience in dog walking and dog care, with a passion for dogs having a happy home. Whether your dog needs extra belly rubs or a patient companion, I am dedicated to providing a safe, loving environment. I believe love is just a tail wag away. Dog people are my people. No matter how long we have our dogs, it's never long enough. My dogs are not pets; my dogs are family. My experience in Pet Care is from having my own dogs and caring for family and friends' dogs over the years. I have plenty of availability to provide love and care for your beloved pet dog. I will take the initiative to slowly build trust with your dog through patient, consistent and compassionate care. I have a secure garden. The garden is surrounded by fencing and hedging, and includes a gate. The garden has a lawn and patio area.
About: I have had family pets since I was a child. I have had Loki, my 3 year old cat since he was 6 weeks old (rescued from local vets). Often look after family members dogs when they are on holiday or away for long periods of time. I work from home so pets will not be left alone during the day. I can provide toilet breaks and multiple walks a day as required. My sister is a RVN so have access to professional help in case of concerns. I work from home 5 days a week with the odd office day once every couple of months. I have the ability to walk around the estate/local park before work, during lunch break and after work if required. I have a fenced garden so dogs can not escape. There is plenty of room for a dog crate if required. My cat is used to other dogs, although he can be cautious, he often spends time with other dogs in the house.
“Gerry had the best time with Edward! From the second I dropped Gerry off he was very comfortable with Edward and greeted him like an old friend! I'm very happy that I've found someone so close to me who my dog quite obviously spent a wonderful day with and clearly adores! Thanks so much Edward - we look forward to seeing you again soon!”
“Louis was absolutely brilliant. He helped us out with a sit at very short notice and was really friendly and helpful. Nothing was too much trouble and you could tell he really loves dogs. Stanley was very happy and we'll definitely be booking again”
About: I’ve grown up around animals and have always loved caring for them. I’ve had cats since I was young, rescued 3 lovely dogs, worked at a dog daycare in London, and volunteered at dog kennels, so your pets will be in experienced and loving hands 😊 I’ve just moved back from London to be with family and my aim is to do dog walking/sitting full time so my availability is very flexible, I can be free in the week and on weekends. I currently live in a lovely home with my mum, dog and cat with a fenced off garden for your dog to run around, and spaces in the home for your dog to rest and relax! If you need me to come to your home that’s no problem
About: As well as many years experience caring for my own dogs at home, I have previously run a dog care business, looking after many dogs of different ages, sizes, breeds and personalities. I have a certificate in Dog Training Essentials, and have even volunteered to look after wildlife abroad. (Not that I can accommodate elephants and cheetahs at home, but you know - I like caring for animals.) I'm a lifelong dog lover and really believe they are our family members to be cherished. Apart from part of my week revolving around school run times, I'm generally at or near home so your dog wouldn't be left alone for too long. I have a small enclosed garden that can be used for toileting and play with my little friendly terrier. Our home is your dog's home.
“Took my frenchie for the day and lauren was so welcoming and friendly and olive loved it there she settled straight away, highly recommend lauren as a dog sitter and definitely be using her again when In the area”
“Our border collie was so relaxed and content. I could see from all the photos Kin Yan sent that he had a fabulous walk and really bonded with her. Her communication was excellent and we were able to keep in touch easily. Thanks 🤩 again”

About: Now experienced dog sitters, Louke and I have both grown up with dogs. At the moment as well as our own dog, Pacey (a rescue Border Collie x Retriever) we also have ‘shared custody’ of Louke’s parents’ Lab Retriever, Oli. We regularly look after our family dogs, which range from Frenchie to Shitzu to Labradoodle. We’ve experience with dogs of all sizes and had dogs from a pup so we’re capable with training too. We understand from having our own anxious boy how hard it can be finding trustworthy sitters who treat your dog like their own, but that is definitely what we will do. We’re happy to continue any training needs your dog may have and have experience with dogs of all ages. I’m very outdoorsy so love going on long walks - my favourite local spot is Nescliffe Hill, but also love an afternoon on the Long Mynd. Louke is at home full time and available to do additional dog walking services, and I work in a hybrid role working from home some days of the week, so we have a great schedule for caring for your four-legged friends. We only have a maximum of five dogs at a time, including our own dog Pacey. We have a walled garden for playing, and some nice spots locally to our home for walks, but will also be taking them out in the car (provided you are comfortable with this) for longer walks. As mentioned above, we have our dog Pacey living with us full time and Oli once or twice a fortnight, and they’re both very easy-going and friendly so plenty of opportunity for your dogs to socialise.
“Kim is our regular dog-walker for our staffy, Egg. She is super reliable and wonderful with Egg. She’s also really flexible and happy to change things around as/when we need it. Egg absolutely loves Kim and we love seeing the photos of the walks and all the fun Egg is having. I’d recommend Kim to anyone, even more challenging dogs, as Egg can be.”
About: I offer genuine love, patience, and attention to every dog in my care. I know how important it is to find someone you can trust, so I treat every dog as if they were my own by offering plenty of affection, play, cuddles (if they enjoy them!), and individual care. I’ve taught my own dog a wide range of tricks, commands, and life skills, and I love keeping dogs mentally stimulated through enrichment games, sniffy walks, fun training sessions, and reinforcing the routines they’re already familiar with. As an inclusive teacher, patience and understanding are second nature to me. I’m experienced in adapting to different personalities and needs, whether your dog is an energetic youngster who loves to learn or a quieter companion who just wants company and a gentle walk. My priority is making sure every dog feels safe, happy, loved, and excited to come back. I offer meeting before any care so you can decide if Penny and I am a good fit. I’m staying in Shrewsbury over the summer and into September, as I am on summer break as a teacher. I have a very flexible schedule, which means I can dedicate plenty of time to the dogs in my care. My own dog, Penny, is at the heart of my daily routine, so our days are built around walks, play, enrichment, training, and rest. Because I’m home for most of the day, I can easily adapt our routine to suit your dog’s usual schedule, whether that’s multiple walks, medication, training, regular toilet breaks, or simply plenty of companionship and cuddles. I know every dog is different, and I’ll do my best to keep their routine as familiar and stress-free as possible. (As long as you don’t mind Penny coming along for the ride) My priority is making sure every dog feels safe, loved, and part of the family while they’re with me. Your dog’s safety, happiness, and well-being will always be my top priority. Whether I’m taking them for a walk, dropping in for a visit, or staying overnight in your home, I’ll care for them with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own dog, Penny. I know how important it is to find someone you can trust, so I take the time to understand your dog’s routine, personality, and any specific needs before we begin. I’ll also keep you updated with regular photos and messages, so you can relax knowing your dog is happy, settled, and in caring hands.

About: I have had pets my entire life until my dog of over 16 years passed away in January 2025. I miss playing, walking, training and hanging out with him very much and truly understand how our pets are part of our families. I currently work from home full time 8:30am - 16:30pm. If I am boarding a pet, I would be able to provide regularly attention and toilet breaks during my working hours and exercise outside during my lunch breaks and after 16:30pm I have a good sized back garden. It has a poor fence on one side but if that would be a concern, I can use a leash or walk the dog to a local park 5mins away. Always happy to play with and train dogs during the day for physical and mental exercise as well
“My dog does not really like strangers much and it takes him time getting familiar with a new person but he immediately warmed up to Sam! Sam also was clearly knowledgeable about dog behaviour, especially dogs with reactivity. Looking forward to more walks.”
About: I have lots of spare time and am available at short notice for dog walks and pet sitting and drop ins. I love dogs and cats as I have grown up with them and I am very trustworthy and reliable.Look forward to meeting you all🐾 I currently have lots of spare time so I am very flexible and have lots of time to take care of your pets at short notice! I will make sure the gate of your garden is shut and the garden is secure so your dog can enjoy the garden without running off.
About: I have had dogs all my life, I am definitely more of an animal person, than a person person. Dogs and walking are 2 of my main passions, so to be able to combine the two makes me very happy. I have been dog walking for friends for about a year now, so I thought I would offer my services to other people too. I work full time at a restaurant, but when I'm not there, I am out with my labrador, Penny, finding new places to explore. I will do whatever it takes to make you and your pup as happy as possible. I always have treats in my bag, and I love playtime.
“Zoe can sometimes be a little distant when first getting to know someone but took to Jessica right away, so I had no concerns with leaving her and she really seemed to enjoy her walk. You can clearly see that Jessica has a love for animals and I'm sure Zoe picked up on that.”
About: Both myself and my partner Amy have had dogs all our lives, and love having them around. I work from home near the quarry with a fenced garden. I/we will give them attention and regular walks, and they can roam the house and garden as they see fit. I work from home most days, and our plans vary weekend by weekend. I live close to the quarry and have a fenced garden. We are very relaxed and want the dog to feel at home with us, having fresh water, attention and walks. We have always loved dogs, we will look after them however you tell us, but generally lots of attention and walks! They can make the house their own!
“Thank you so much for accommodating a last minute change of plans and walking Ernie today especially as it's freezing 🥶 Ernie looked like he had a lovely time and enjoyed his walk 😊”

About: Hi, I'm David! I work to ensure that fur babies of all sizes are properly looked after and cared for, with plenty of cuddles and attention. I've spent my life around animals and understand how irreplaceable loved ones are. I am willing to meet up before arrangements to find out whether we're a good fit for each other and your pet(s). Although I am new to this platform, I am not new to what it takes to care for a variety of different animals including Dogs, Cats, Birds, Hamsters, Reptiles and even my sheep named Minty. I love animals and I'm happy to learn how to care for them, even the ones I'm unfamiliar with. That doesn't stop at the type of pet or the personal needs that each may have. I understand that each pet has their own needs, including how long they can comfortably be left alone for. Pets would rarely be left alone for extended periods during my care, and I would send regular photo updates so you can see how they're getting on. Although I have a willingness to learn and adapt, I love animals so much that I would not feel comfortable feeding one animal to another pet (with the exception of bugs/insects). Transparency and honesty are important to me, so feel free to ask me anything. It's very important to me that both you and your fuzzy, fluffy, feathered or even scaly family member feel at peace knowing they're in safe hands. I am also fully DBS checked. In the unlikely event of an emergency, your pet's safety and wellbeing will always be my top priority. I carry a phone at all times and will contact you immediately if any concerns arise. I am available early mornings and evenings. I can walk your pets for around 30 minutes, more or less depending on their needs, and would keep them within Shrewsbury. During stays I can maintain things like litter boxes and enclosures. If you require assistance with more extensive work, we can discuss things further. I look forward to helping. Pet Care 🐾 I work full time from home on a rota that varies between 8AM-9PM, but most shifts are between 8AM-6PM, and I sometimes work on weekends, because of this I don't have a 'set' schedule, however, I would almost always be available during the early morning, evening or on my days off to take care of your pets. Boarding & Drop-In Visits 🏡 Due to me working from home, if you require a pet sitter at your home I would be available on most days, providing that you have accessible Wi-Fi for me to connect my laptop to and a table for me to work at. If you require Drop-In Visits, I can also accommodate these on most days as my work hours can be flexible, but early mornings, lunch time and evenings would work best for me, let me know your preferences on Drop-In times and we can figure something out. 💕🌼 Pets have needs and wants like the rest of us. It's important for us to be in-tune of what they are, just as we would for ourselves. I know that I wouldn't appreciate my bathroom break being put on hold for an hour; when you gotta go, you gotta go! It's the same for them. 💩 I would give your pets frequent 'potty' breaks/walks to match their personal needs. I would also give your pets lots of love and attention throughout the stay and if you have a set schedule that your pet eats at and likes to take walks, please let me know and I will try my best to accommodate you and your pets needs. If your pet requires medicine, I have done this before and would be comfortable with administering that for them, just let me know beforehand precisely what dosage and how you typically provide that for them. 🩺 During home stays I would leave no mess behind and ensure I would maintain your home and any cat litter trays and/or enclosures. 🧼
About: I have grown up around dogs, and lived rurually with horses, sheep and chickens as a responsibility to help my family with them since around 10 years of age. I am a runner and enjoy walks to break up my online work when dog sitting. My mum is extremely good with dogs and has trained many a dog. Establishing routine and mutual respect with her dogs. I pride myself on being intuitive and listening to the needs of the animals I care for. I have looked after cats a few times since house sitting and enjoy learning their behaviours and needs. I have been a house sitter more seriously since Sep 2023 I work online as a health coach within my business that I started in 2023. I have a very flexible schedule with a few calls dotted around in the week. I currently teach classes in church stretton 2 evenings a week for a maximum of 2 hours, and lunchtime on Wednesday, and morning until lunch on Thursdays in Shrewsbury. I will be available to house sit in your home, and will be available to talk about any measures needed to help with safety. I was in the RAF Police and I am very vigilant when it comes to securing the house in which I am staying in.
About: When you’re away, your dog deserves to feel safe, settled and understood. That is the environment I aim to create — a calm, steady home where care is personal, structured and consistent. I offer structured, home-based care for dogs who need more than just supervision. With 12 years of hands-on experience in boarding, day care, dog walking and grooming, I understand how to create balance — enrichment without overstimulation, affection with clear boundaries. I intentionally keep numbers small so each dog receives proper supervision, individual attention and thoughtful emotional awareness. No cages. No overcrowding. No rushed handling. Just a calm, structured home where dogs can soften, settle and feel secure. I work particularly well with: • Larger breeds • Sensitive or anxious temperaments • Dogs who benefit from calm, steady handling This is not a high-traffic boarding setup. It is a secure, professionally managed home environment where dogs can relax and regulate naturally. Pet care is part of my daily structure, not something I fit around other commitments. Boarding dogs are rarely left alone and follow a consistent home routine. My day is organised around walks, enrichment, rest and supervision, ensuring each dog receives steady attention throughout their stay. Drop-off and collection times are arranged in advance to maintain a calm, predictable rhythm for all dogs in my care. I believe: • Dogs mirror the energy around them • Calm environments encourage calm behaviour • Overstimulation creates stress • Stability builds trust For that reason, I don’t run a loud or high-traffic setup. I maintain a steady, balanced rhythm where dogs can settle naturally and feel secure. This is home-style care — managed professionally. • Fully licensed home boarding • Pet First Aid trained • Secure, family home environment • Structured daily routine • Enrichment-based care • No forceful handling • Regular photo updates Dogs are managed thoughtfully — never rushed, never crowded.

“Ben and Rebecca have been caring for our three and a half-month-old Roger for almost a week. We were concerned about his interaction with other dogs as he is still a young puppy and easily frightened. Ben and Rebecca were exceptional with our boy. They have provided excellent care, taught him how to play with other dogs, adhered to his usual routine and treated him as if he were their own. Ben kept us regularly updated and sent us numerous videos and photographs. When we returned to collect Roger he appeared very happy and comfortable. He frequently sought cuddles from Ben and Rebecca. Ben and Rebecca, thank you for looking after our Roger. You are both fantastic! Roger will be delighted to return and spend more time with you. Thank you again for being so great with our boy.”

I've cared and loved my own terrier for 5 years now and he is the loveliest little boy you will ever meet. It can be a nervous time trusting a stranger with your fur baby but my aim is to treat your dog as if they were my own. I am more then happy to broaden my experience and care for other breeds and wonderful animals. I will also send you photos and videos and keep you updated on what your doggo is up to I live in a friendly neighbourhood in a cosy, and safe environment with a fenced off garden to run around in. I regularly go out for walks with my dog the same time every day. I try and mix things up and visit different places or routes to make it interesting. Feeding is also part of the routine at the same time, day and night. Your dog will have toys to play with and a friend to socialise with in my very cosy and open home. Dogs have free reign of the whole house, Chilling on the sofa or cuddles in bed, water is regularly topped up and an abundant of treats are always on stand by
“Lyndsey and her family were absolutely amazing when she looked after our Lola. She followed everything we asked, and also sent lots of pictures and updates throughout the 2 weeks she had her.

Would definitely use her again.. if she is willing!”
“Dave was a fantastic sitter for my very timid whippet he was so patient with her and took time to understand her ‘unique ways’ I would definitely ask Dave to look after Cagney again.”
About: Both myself and my partner Amy have had dogs all our lives, and love having them around. I work from home near the quarry with a fenced garden. I/we will give them attention and regular walks, and they can roam the house and garden as they see fit. I work from home most days, and our plans vary weekend by weekend. I live close to the quarry and have a fenced garden. We are very relaxed and want the dog to feel at home with us, having fresh water, attention and walks. We have always loved dogs, we will look after them however you tell us, but generally lots of attention and walks! They can make the house their own!
“First time leaving Jessie and Buddy with a sitter, they loved it! Emma was friendly and reassuring, we met up a few days before and she explained everything. We were kept up to date with regular messages and pics. Emma was brilliant with them and we will certainly leave our babies with her in future.”

“We felt very happy leaving Rosie with Joanne. She clearly loves animals and Rosie really enjoyed her time with them. We only left Rosie there for the day as she hasn’t been away from us before, but she had a lovely day, we will definitely be booking for longer next time!”
“The perfect dog boarding experience provided by a lovely couple who adore dogs, in an idyllic peaceful countryside setting with excellent communication throughout. Our two larger breed (lurcher & greyhound) dogs were looked after brilliantly and quickly built a trusting bond with Tracy and Seb. Their home and gardens are stunning and they are so warm, welcoming and accommodating- it truly is a beautiful holiday for your dogs while you’re away. ❤️ Do I want to gatekeep you guys? Yes. Would I recommend you to absolutely everyone though? In a heartbeat.”
