About: My mum has always had an irrational fear of dogs so have never had the honour to own one myself until I moved away from home. Growing up I have often dog sat for my godparents who have 2 beautiful miniature schnauzers and my neighbours Jack Russell. Since I was 19, I was using borrow my doggy to get experience with different dog breeds and learn the needs of each pup. I work full time primarily working from home with the odd day on site. I love spending time outdoors especially now with my cocker spaniel pup! I have a 3 bed house with a wrap around fenced garden for your pup to roam around in. I don’t allow any pets upstairs so should your pup stay overnight, they need to be okay sleeping downstairs. As I have a dog of my own, I do not take on non-neutered male dogs and they must get along well with other dogs.

About: Dogs have always been part of my family - I have owned and looked after dogs since I was a child. If it's going for walks, playing games with toys, treats or cuddles rest assured your best friend will be well looked after in a relaxed and safe environment. Currently I own 2 French bulldogs myself so I am often taking them for walks in green areas like Pennington Flash or The 3 Sisters. I'm currently working from home but with flexible hours so I can look after for your dog any day of the week. Either in mornings -evenings are fine. Clean, relaxed, safe environment and accommodation catered towards your dog’s needs. Spacious and secure garden/yard area for play Comfortable sleeping area Lots of Snacks/treats Lots of attention & care -play with dog toys or a cuddle on the couch. Daily walks/exercise and socialization with other friendly dogs (if your dog is social!) Regular updates and photos I have a fenced garden area with a locked gate yard to ensure your dog can play freely and safe at my home. I have a dog pen if needed too. I Offer a meet and greet before you decide to book and a free day where I have your pet for a couple of hours or for the day so I can get to know them and their routine.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a very early age as they have always been in my family. I currently own my own Pattersdale x Staffy female (age 3), Willow. She is the only other animal in the home but is very good with other dogs. I also live with my 2 year old daughter so all animals must be good with kids. I am available for all care services for your fur babies! I am a stay at home mum currently so I can cater to look after your fur babies at any point and on longer stays I will be available 24/7 I have a fenced yard and have plenty of areas to go for walks. I have a 5 year old dog myself to keep your fur babies company, she is fully crate trained so happy to have your pup in a crate or out the crate if needed!

“Had the most wonderful meet and greet walk with Melissa ready for ottos holiday with her! I was so worried about leaving him but Melissa clearly adores animals and really made me and Otto feel at ease! I won’t worry about him being with her while we are away in fact I think he may not want to come home! X”


“Bettyna is amazing, she went above and beyond to accommodate my pets, she took great care of them, walked my dog regularly and my cat absolutely loved the catio in the garden.

About: Dogs have been in my family for years ever since I was young. I have cared for dogs ever since I can remember so much so that I had to get my own dog, Luna. Family dogs stay with us overnight occasionally and Luna gets on with them just fine, she loves their company and playtime. I work full time in the week and have weekends available to Dog Sit for the day or overnight stays. I work from home on a Friday and Monday so early drop offs or late pick ups are fine with me. My house has a fenced garden to allow your dog fresh air and lots of playtime. Luna loves to sit out here when the sun is shining and play ball. Luna is allowed on the couch and sleeps on the bed so you can be at ease knowing I would allow this for your fur baby. Luna is crate trained which allows her to feel comfortable staying on her own when I leave the house.
