About: Our experience with dogs 🐾 Ellie has always had dogs and has experience with a wide range of breeds, including rescue dogs with different backgrounds and needs. She also set up her own rescue, Praxie’s Promise, through which she has helped rehome hundreds of dogs. She is Canine First Aid trained and has a real understanding of how important it is to provide dogs with patience, care and a safe, loving environment. Gethin has always grown up around pets and has plenty of experience caring for dogs. Over the years, we have regularly looked after friends’ dogs, from walks and day-to-day care to having them stay with us while they're on holiday. Between us, we have a great deal of experience with dogs of different personalities, breeds and needs, and we want every dog staying with us to feel comfortable, settled and part of the family. We both work shifts, but Gethin works from home full-time, so there will always be someone around to care for your dog and provide company throughout the day. Your dog won’t be left alone for long periods and will have plenty of attention, affection and company while staying with us. We’re both active people and enjoy getting out for walks, so we’re happy to provide as much exercise and outdoor time as your dog needs, whether that’s relaxed walks or something more energetic. We are both very flexible and happy to fit into your dogs schedule, whatever they need! We also have our own dog, Chevy, who is 11 years old and very calm and friendly. He is very adaptable to all kinds of dog personalities and is used to being around dogs with different temperaments and energy levels. We’ll make sure every dog staying with us gets the attention, exercise and care they need, while also giving them the space and time to settle in and feel comfortable. Your dog’s safety and wellbeing will always be our priority. We have a secure, dog-friendly home with a fully enclosed 5ft fenced garden, giving dogs safe access to fresh air and outdoor space throughout the day whenever they need it. As Gethin works from home, there will usually be someone around throughout the day, meaning dogs won’t be left alone for long periods. With Ellie’s extensive experience caring for and rehoming dogs, including rescue dogs with a variety of personalities you can feel confident that your dog is in experienced and caring hands. We have kept our own dogs safe for 20+ years and your dogs will be looked after like one of our own. We’ll introduce dogs to Chevy carefully and at their own pace. We’re happy to follow your dog’s usual routine as closely as possible and will keep you updated during their stay, so you can relax knowing they’re happy, safe and well cared for.
“Second stay for Bruce with Marnie & Eddie, he had a fabulous time. He’s cared for so well. Love the regular updates of what he’s been up to each day. Highly recommend!”
“We could tell straight away that Teddy had been in a loving, caring environment. Teddy had a lovely time and was really happy when we picked him up. Sophie took fantastic care of Teddy during our 10 days away and kept us reassured with periodic updates on how he was doing. Will absolutely book again & would recommend highly!”
“Thank you for looking after my boy 🤗. Sharon is a lovely lady with a nice place and a secure garden, which was ideal for an older dog with mobility issues. There was no issue with any of my requests, and whenever I asked, I always received a reply assuring me that everything was fine. Unfortunately, I did not meet Steven, but that doesn't change the fact that they took good care of him. I will definitely use them again in the future if needed.”
“This was Charlie’s second stay with Sophie, and it was clear he was happy to be back! He settled in much more quickly this time and seemed completely relaxed and at home. It’s such a comfort knowing he’s in safe, caring hands! 😊”
“I contacted Leah to see if she had availability at short notice as we had a family funeral. She responded very quickly to say she could look after our dog. He had another great stay and just loved playing with the other dogs. Thanks again Leah!”
“Lauren and family were absolutely amazing! They had shadow for a week while we were on our holidays and we got regular daily updates of her having the absolute best time. I cannot recommend these guys enough.”
About: Raised with a farm in the family I was surrounded by most animals growing up but dogs were always a constant companion. Now, having lost our family dog after enjoying his company for over 16 years we are without. The next 12 months for us involves GCSEs and A levels so a dog of our own is not the cards at the moment. I am a sat at home/home-educating mum and am needed less and less so I would like to get out in the fresh air and get those ‘steps in’ with a doggy companion and if a dog needs to stay over at our house, we would all enjoy that. I currently home educate my youngest son (GCSEs next year) so am at home most of the time and can fit walks in throughout the day I have a fenced garden and further gates/fences within it which were essential when I had my dog. When dogs visit, our back door can be opened for them to move freely from the house to the garden and back again.
“Can thoroughly recommend Jessica, Skye was well looked after and Jessica was great at keeping in touch, she sent us photos and updates too. Won’t hesitate to rebook with Jessica if we need boarding again.”
“Winnie had a wonderful stay with Baz and his family. She is a nervous girl but seemed to settle really well and Baz kept me up to date with how she was getting on. We will definitely rebook 😊”
“I highly recommend Alisha! Ben stayed with her for a full weekend, and she was absolutely wonderful. I really appreciated all the photos and updates she sent; it was obvious that Ben was super happy and well cared for. Her communication was flawless. I will definitely trust her with Ben again!”
“Jacqui really took care of our furry girl. Her dog looked after her too! I couldn't have asked for more and totally felt Elly was settled and very happy. We will definitely use Jacqui again.”
“Joanna is amazing at looking after our dog, plenty of walks, cuddles and great update videos/photos. We feel 100% comfortable leaving our dog for overnight stays knowing she's loved and well looked after.”
About: I have grown up with dogs and have always loved being around them. Honestly, I probably like dogs more than humans. Dogs have always been a big part of my life, so looking after them feels natural and enjoyable to me. Back at my mum’s home, we have a Beagle, and I also have a Cockapoo. I understand that every dog has their own personality, habits and routine, and I’m happy to give them the attention, patience and care they need. My children would love for us to have another dog, but before making that commitment, I thought it would be lovely to spend more time with dogs through pet sitting. I’m therefore looking forward to welcoming another furry friend to play with, go for walks and keep company. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, playing, giving plenty of cuddles and following your pet’s normal routine and instructions. I’m also happy to spend extra time with dogs who need companionship or reassurance while their owners are away. Most importantly, I will treat your dog as if they were part of my own family. I want them to feel safe, happy, loved and comfortable while they are with me. I have a flexible routine and can make time in my day for pet care. I enjoy going for walks and spending time with dogs, so caring for a pet fits naturally into my daily routine. I can provide regular walks, playtime, feeding and companionship, while making sure each pet’s routine and individual needs are followed. I treat every pet as part of the family and take their safety and wellbeing very seriously. I have grown up with dogs and currently have a Cockapoo, so I understand how important it is to provide a safe, calm and loving environment. Before caring for your pet, I will make sure I understand their routine, personality, feeding requirements, walking habits and any special instructions. I am particularly patient with nervous or shy dogs and will give them time to settle in. I will always supervise pets carefully, keep doors and gates secure, and make sure they are comfortable and happy. I am also happy to send regular updates and photos so you can feel reassured that your dog is having a lovely time while you are away.
“Anca is a super friendly, super helpful and lovely dog sitter. We had never left our pup with anyone before and we weren't sure what to expect but Anca was brilliant. We got regular updates and photos and she was very reassuring. She was also extremely understanding when our train was cancelled and we were later getting back than we had originally planned. Best of all, our dog came home happy, healthy and well looked after. Would highly recommend Anca's services.”
“Amy was brilliant, so welcoming and great communication start to finish. Goose clearly felt happy and he was the calmest he's been when we've picked him up from anywhere! Absolutely would recommend and we'll be booking again in the future 😊”
“Wow , what can i say about Radleys stay. He has been so well looked after and treated like their own. Hes been to lots of great places to walk, play and swim.He was welcomed by Rocky and they became firm friends. Sam and Max are such nice people , who sent videos and photos of Radley and Rockys adventures. Highly recomend and we will be using them again soon. Thanks again xx”
“Katie was friendly and instantly made Teddy feel relaxed . Her communication was brilliant and she was very gracious and accommodating with Teddy’s needs . I went away feeling confident my dog was in good hands . Thanks Katie I would highly recommend!”
About: I’ve grown up around animals and have had dogs and cats throughout my life, including a Labrador and a Cocker Spaniel, both of whom I helped raise from puppies. I’ve also had cats of my own. Over the years, I’ve looked after lots of different dogs for friends and family, including Labradors, Spaniels, Golden Retrievers, Saint Bernards and Bernese Mountain Dogs, so I’m comfortable with dogs of very different sizes, ages and personalities. I’m also a volunteer dog walker for a local dog charity and usually spend part of most weekends walking and spending time with the dogs there. I absolutely love animals and genuinely feel happiest with a dog around the house. I’m not in a position to commit to having my own dog at the moment, which is why dog sitting suits me so well. I get to enjoy having animals around while giving someone else the reassurance that their dog is being looked after by someone who genuinely loves having them there. I work from home the vast majority of the time, so pet care fits very naturally into my day. Because I’m home most of the day, pets would have plenty of company and wouldn’t be left alone for long periods. For dogs, a typical routine would usually include: * A morning walk * Another walk around lunchtime * An evening walk, depending on their usual routine and energy levels * Plenty of attention, company and cuddles throughout the day At weekends, I often go out for walks and generally have a fairly relaxed schedule, so any pet staying with me would very much be included in whatever I’m doing. My home is calm, quiet, child-free, pet-free and smoke-free, so it’s a lovely relaxed environment for pets to settle into. I have a fully secure yard for toilet breaks, as well as a park just five minutes from my home, so it’s very easy to get outside whenever needed. I’m very happy to follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including: * Feeding times * Walks and toilet breaks * Sleeping arrangements * Any little habits that help them feel comfortable and at home If they normally sleep on the sofa, in the bedroom or even on the bed, that’s absolutely fine with me if their owner is happy with it. My main aim is to make any pet staying with me feel safe, relaxed, loved and genuinely at home.

About: Hey! I’m Paige 👋 I used to have a cat up until last year, but unfortunately had to re home due to moving to a busy main road.

“Chloe had an amazing time with Ellie and Gethin and even made new doggy friends. Ellie and Gethin couldn’t have done enough for her and it was so nice knowing she was happy and enjoying herself. Chloe will be going back every week, we’re really happy we’ve found someone she’s comfortable with.”

“Absolutely a legend person! He took care of my dog while I was working at 5:30am! And bring him back to my house. If you are working early hours and need someone to look after your dog THIS IS THE PERSON! I cannot wait to book with him once again!”

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover living in Higherford with my 14 year-old son, Billy. We both love spending time with dogs and treat every pet that stays with us as part of the family.

Our home has a secure garden and is surrounded by beautiful countryside, making it the perfect place for plenty of walks, fresh air, and adventures. I enjoy fell walking and keeping fit, so your dog will get lots of exercise, attention, and affection. We also have our friendly tripod cat, Seth, who is used to dogs and can be kept completely separate from visiting pets if needed.

About: We are a friendly, reliable couple with a genuine love of dogs, animals and the outdoors. With three dogs of our own, dogs are very much part of our everyday lives, and we understand how important it is to find someone you can genuinely trust with a much-loved member of your family. Alongside our practical experience, Shirley holds a Canine Communication Diploma, awarded with Distinction by the Centre of Excellence. This complements our hands-on experience and helps us to understand canine communication, behaviour and the individual ways dogs express themselves. We also prefer focusing on giving dogs stimulating outdoor experiences rather than simply a quick walk around the block. We love the outdoors and enjoy giving dogs opportunities to walk, explore, sniff and enjoy plenty of enrichment. We are also fortunate to have access to private fields giving us fantastic opportunities for outdoor exercise and enrichment, whilst also providing indoor and outdoor spaces to cater for a better environment for any lovable pet and their individual needs. Having two of us means there is plenty of opportunity for companionship, supervision and individual attention. We understand that every dog is different — from energetic adventurers to older dogs who simply enjoy a gentle wander and plenty of affection — and we adapt our approach accordingly. Above all, we want you to be able to leave your dog with us knowing they will be treated with kindness, patience and respect. We don't just look after dogs — we want them to genuinely enjoy their time with us. 🐾 Caring for dogs fits naturally into our everyday life. As mentioned we have three dogs of our own, so walks, feeding, play, exercise and companionship are already part of our normal daily routine, along with anything else our beloved pets throw at us. We both enjoy being outdoors and can structure our days around the dogs in our care rather than trying to fit them into a busy schedule. Having two of us also means we can share responsibilities and give each dog plenty of individual attention, supervision and Whether your dog enjoys a good outdoor adventure or a quieter routine with shorter walks and plenty of company, we are happy to adapt our day to suit them. Safety and trust are extremely important to us. We understand that leaving your dog with somebody new can be worrying, so we want owners to feel completely comfortable and confident about the care their pet will receive. We have access to private fields with limitrd and no access, providing a better oppurtunity and environment for exercise, enrichment away from public spaces. We are also developing dedicated indoor and outdoor areas so dogs can have appropriate spaces for activity, rest and relaxation. We will always follow your instructions regarding feeding, walking, leads, routines, interaction with other dogs and any individual requirements. We never assume that because something is suitable for one dog it will be suitable for another. As we have dogs ourselves, introductions and compatibility are important to us. We want every dog in our care — including our own — to feel safe and comfortable. We are happy to discuss this fully and arrange an introduction before a stay where appropriate. We will provide responsible supervision, plenty of attention and a calm, caring environment, with your dog's welfare always coming first.

“Merlin has been for overnights and day care with Amy now and the service is always amazing! He comes home happy and tired (despite snoozing his day away!) and obviously enjoys going to visit Skye - he bounds over to greet her from the car and is never in a rush to leave! Amy keeps us updated throughout the day which puts my mind at ease too”
“Merlin loved his first day with Carrie and her lovely dog Bella - they had loads of outdoor time and plenty of time for snoozing too, he can’t wait to come back and so glad to have someone local who he enjoys the company of! 💚”
About: I have looked after a variety of dogs and my 2 fur babies are a Siberian Husky, who loves to play with other dogs and a Patterdale Terrier, who just loves to be warm and cosy under the covers!

“Leah is amazing, she is incredibly responsive and provides regular updates which keeps my mind at ease. Toby absolutely loves her and I can tell he has a fantastic time with Leah. He is such an energetic boy but he seems to be relaxed with Leah which is great. I can’t recommend her enough, whenever we need our pooch looking after Leah is the first person I go to! Thanks so much.”
About: I have taken care of many of my friends dogs whilst they go on holiday(s) over the last 5 years. This has included two beautiful, high energy spaniels and older Dachshunds. I work from home and have a spaniel myself so I’m constantly out and about making sure they have the best day. I wake up around 5.45 on week days and take George (my spaniel) on a nice 5k walk along the canal. I work from home so will get my morning meetings out of the way, let George out in the back yard in between. I usually walk to the local park at lunch which is around 2.5k round trip. And after work, depending on what I have planned we usually are out and about places. Quick walk around the block just before we go to bed. I have a fenced yard. Plenty of room in the kitchen to keep a cage. A ring camera that overlooks into the kitchen for if I need to nip out to the shops. And George is the most loving companion, he has been so socialised since I’ve had him that he loves having other dogs over for sleepovers.

About: Since childhood, I have always had a family dog, so being around and caring for dogs has been a big part of my life. I’ve been volunteering most weekends at Holly Hedge Dog Sanctuary, whenever my work schedule allows. During my time there, I’ve had the opportunity to work with a wide variety of dogs, each with different personalities and needs. This experience has not only shown my love for animals but has also helped me develop a strong confidence in looking after dogs and understanding their behavior. It's something I really enjoy and feel passionate about. My work schedule changes each week, so feel free to send me a message! Your dog will always be my top priority, and I will make sure to find time to give them the attention they deserve. I’m currently living in military accommodation on Catterick Camp. While my living area isn’t very spacious, I can guarantee that your dog will receive plenty of attention and care. I’ll make sure to take them out for walks in a secure and safe environment where they can enjoy themselves. Your dog's well-being is important to me, and I want to ensure they have the exercise, love and attention they need.

About: Our experience with dogs 🐾 Ellie has always had dogs and has experience with a wide range of breeds, including rescue dogs with different backgrounds and needs. She also set up her own rescue, Praxie’s Promise, through which she has helped rehome hundreds of dogs. She is Canine First Aid trained and has a real understanding of how important it is to provide dogs with patience, care and a safe, loving environment. Gethin has always grown up around pets and has plenty of experience caring for dogs. Over the years, we have regularly looked after friends’ dogs, from walks and day-to-day care to having them stay with us while they're on holiday. Between us, we have a great deal of experience with dogs of different personalities, breeds and needs, and we want every dog staying with us to feel comfortable, settled and part of the family. We both work shifts, but Gethin works from home full-time, so there will always be someone around to care for your dog and provide company throughout the day. Your dog won’t be left alone for long periods and will have plenty of attention, affection and company while staying with us. We’re both active people and enjoy getting out for walks, so we’re happy to provide as much exercise and outdoor time as your dog needs, whether that’s relaxed walks or something more energetic. We are both very flexible and happy to fit into your dogs schedule, whatever they need! We also have our own dog, Chevy, who is 11 years old and very calm and friendly. He is very adaptable to all kinds of dog personalities and is used to being around dogs with different temperaments and energy levels. We’ll make sure every dog staying with us gets the attention, exercise and care they need, while also giving them the space and time to settle in and feel comfortable. Your dog’s safety and wellbeing will always be our priority. We have a secure, dog-friendly home with a fully enclosed 5ft fenced garden, giving dogs safe access to fresh air and outdoor space throughout the day whenever they need it. As Gethin works from home, there will usually be someone around throughout the day, meaning dogs won’t be left alone for long periods. With Ellie’s extensive experience caring for and rehoming dogs, including rescue dogs with a variety of personalities you can feel confident that your dog is in experienced and caring hands. We have kept our own dogs safe for 20+ years and your dogs will be looked after like one of our own. We’ll introduce dogs to Chevy carefully and at their own pace. We’re happy to follow your dog’s usual routine as closely as possible and will keep you updated during their stay, so you can relax knowing they’re happy, safe and well cared for.
“We could tell straight away that Teddy had been in a loving, caring environment. Teddy had a lovely time and was really happy when we picked him up. Sophie took fantastic care of Teddy during our 10 days away and kept us reassured with periodic updates on how he was doing. Will absolutely book again & would recommend highly!”
“Thank you for looking after my boy 🤗. Sharon is a lovely lady with a nice place and a secure garden, which was ideal for an older dog with mobility issues. There was no issue with any of my requests, and whenever I asked, I always received a reply assuring me that everything was fine. Unfortunately, I did not meet Steven, but that doesn't change the fact that they took good care of him. I will definitely use them again in the future if needed.”
“I contacted Leah to see if she had availability at short notice as we had a family funeral. She responded very quickly to say she could look after our dog. He had another great stay and just loved playing with the other dogs. Thanks again Leah!”
“We would absolutely recommend Andrew and Nicky. We are bowled over with how much love and attention they have provided for our 13 year old schnauzer. He has come back in great form. Andrew and Nicky followed all our guidance and adjusted care to incorporate an older dogs requirements…we were so reassured by all they did for him ; especially during a heat wave. We will definitely be using their services again if we need them. Thanks ☺️”
About: Raised with a farm in the family I was surrounded by most animals growing up but dogs were always a constant companion. Now, having lost our family dog after enjoying his company for over 16 years we are without. The next 12 months for us involves GCSEs and A levels so a dog of our own is not the cards at the moment. I am a sat at home/home-educating mum and am needed less and less so I would like to get out in the fresh air and get those ‘steps in’ with a doggy companion and if a dog needs to stay over at our house, we would all enjoy that. I currently home educate my youngest son (GCSEs next year) so am at home most of the time and can fit walks in throughout the day I have a fenced garden and further gates/fences within it which were essential when I had my dog. When dogs visit, our back door can be opened for them to move freely from the house to the garden and back again.
“Alexandra was very responsive and gave lots of pupdates! Rupert seemed comfortable right away and even went to a gala with the family. I would happily have Rupert stay with Alexandra and her family again.”
“We met Ashleigh and Arlo for a pre-stay meet up to check our dogs were happy in each other’s company. They were! Arlo is as chill as Ashleigh. When we dropped Milo off for his holiday stay, he was confident in her home as he’d already visited and was happy when we left. Regular updates and photos arrived while we were on holiday so I was happy and confident too. Milo was the most relaxed after a holiday that I have ever known him. Milo has a medical condition that Ashleigh appreciated and accommodated in her care while we were away. I definitely recommend Ashleigh to look after your pup with care and affection.”
“Doug and Bobby loved their stay with Rafael! We enjoyed being kept up to date with photos and updates on how they are getting on throughout their stay. We would happily book again and recommend if you’re looking for someone to look after your pets.”
“Thank you so much for looking after Mabel again. She had the best time, I can tell from the photos you sent and from having to drag her out of your house again when we picked her up ha ha. I don’t have to worry at all when she is with you. She already cannot wait for her next visit. X”
“Winnie had a wonderful stay with Baz and his family. She is a nervous girl but seemed to settle really well and Baz kept me up to date with how she was getting on. We will definitely rebook 😊”
“Bo as always had a great time with Alison, lots of updates and she was very settled (amazing as she is a hyper dog!) We are always very happy she is in safe hands, plenty of walks and snoozes on the sofa :)”
“Fantastic hosts! Our dogs were made to feel at home right away and settled in from the off. We were kept up to date with some lovely photos of our dogs whilst they stayed over which was really nice. Would highly recommend!”
“Aidan is lovely - we booked rather last minute and Honey normally goes to Kennels and sulks for a few days afterwards, BUT this was a completely different experience she was so calm, happy and content when we collected, no sulking! We knownHoney had an equally good weekend and its was great to check in and know she was happy ! Thank you will rebook !!”
“Amy was brilliant, so welcoming and great communication start to finish. Goose clearly felt happy and he was the calmest he's been when we've picked him up from anywhere! Absolutely would recommend and we'll be booking again in the future 😊”
About: Your pet will become part of the family, and be cared for with lots of love and attention during the stay, as the owner you get regular updates and with years of experience and qualifications like pet first aid, your loved one will have the best holiday of their own. I'm at home full time, so your pet becomes part of the day, for the full day. From morning walks to lots of stimulation and play outside in the garden, they will have the best time. The garden is fenced and secure with double airlock system so no one can sneak out. It's fully concreted and cleaned multiple times a day. Air Conditioning cools and warms inside as needed and there's lots of space for them to stretch out if needed.
About: I’ve grown up around animals and have had dogs and cats throughout my life, including a Labrador and a Cocker Spaniel, both of whom I helped raise from puppies. I’ve also had cats of my own. Over the years, I’ve looked after lots of different dogs for friends and family, including Labradors, Spaniels, Golden Retrievers, Saint Bernards and Bernese Mountain Dogs, so I’m comfortable with dogs of very different sizes, ages and personalities. I’m also a volunteer dog walker for a local dog charity and usually spend part of most weekends walking and spending time with the dogs there. I absolutely love animals and genuinely feel happiest with a dog around the house. I’m not in a position to commit to having my own dog at the moment, which is why dog sitting suits me so well. I get to enjoy having animals around while giving someone else the reassurance that their dog is being looked after by someone who genuinely loves having them there. I work from home the vast majority of the time, so pet care fits very naturally into my day. Because I’m home most of the day, pets would have plenty of company and wouldn’t be left alone for long periods. For dogs, a typical routine would usually include: * A morning walk * Another walk around lunchtime * An evening walk, depending on their usual routine and energy levels * Plenty of attention, company and cuddles throughout the day At weekends, I often go out for walks and generally have a fairly relaxed schedule, so any pet staying with me would very much be included in whatever I’m doing. My home is calm, quiet, child-free, pet-free and smoke-free, so it’s a lovely relaxed environment for pets to settle into. I have a fully secure yard for toilet breaks, as well as a park just five minutes from my home, so it’s very easy to get outside whenever needed. I’m very happy to follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including: * Feeding times * Walks and toilet breaks * Sleeping arrangements * Any little habits that help them feel comfortable and at home If they normally sleep on the sofa, in the bedroom or even on the bed, that’s absolutely fine with me if their owner is happy with it. My main aim is to make any pet staying with me feel safe, relaxed, loved and genuinely at home.
“The level of care was outstanding and the updates made me feel Pebbles was being well looked after. Pebbles stayed with Hayley for a week and obviously had a great time. Lots of photos were sent to keep me updated. Plenty of walks, which I received map updates showing the distance/time. And lots of play time with Hayley and her family (partner and two kids) too. I would highly recommend Hayley to anyone wanting their dog looked after.”
