“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.”
“Absolutely wonderful. Our Labrador has had the best time with Alisha. What a fantastic couple. From the start there was a huge welcome and Frazer felt at home. Alisha kept me updated with pictures during his stay , which was very comforting to see. I can highly recommend Alisha and will definitely be asking to have Frazer stay 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.”
“Lauren was amazing throughout our experience for Bailey’s holiday! I was apprehensive sending our little pup to someone’s house but she put me at ease instantly! Bailey had complete freedom whilst staying with Lauren and made some new friends along the way! She sent me videos and pictures throughout and our little pudding looked like he had the best time! Bailey can’t wait to come back! And thank you so much again! Xxxx”
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.

About: I have loved dogs since I can remember and cannot pass one on the street without stopping to say hello. I am also now thinking I would like to work with them for a living so currently undertaking some training courses to help me to do that. Have had dogs from puppies and dog sat for several friends and family. I could provide references if desired. Please note : when I have put 20 years experience , I am meaning that's how long I have had dogs I am currently WFH 5 days a week on a very flexible schedule. I would walk your dog separate to mine during the week but walk them all together on a Sunday due to having access to a bigger car for walk location variation. Dependant on the weather as to how much time I would be in the garden with them (wouldn't be left unsupervised) but obviously regular toilet breaks are a given. I have a safe enclosed garden and both neighbours also have dogs. My two are friendly with Molly (Westie) being more playful than Dora (PBGV). I have several dog beds in several rooms but the dogs can go where they please in the house including sofas. (I fit round them most of the time!) If you prefer them to be crated at night, please just let me know. My dogs tend to prefer to be in a room where someone is but are free to roam. There are dog seat belts in the back of the car if I were to take them anywhere for walks. Your dog will be fed separately to mine as Molly is cheeky and tries to steal food. I had 3 dogs but lost our beloved Whippet last year, but used to 3 dogs in the house.
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: Insured ✅ Clear DBS I have been caring for cats from a young age, developing a deep understanding of their needs, behaviours, and individual personalities over the years. As a long-time cat owner, I have had the joy and responsibility of looking after three of my own cats, giving me hands-on experience in feeding routines, grooming, administering basic care, and ensuring a safe, comfortable environment. I pride myself on treating every cat in my care as if they were my own. I understand how important it is for pets to feel secure and loved, especially when their owners are away. During pop-in visits, I provide not only essential care such as feeding, litter maintenance, and health checks, but also plenty of affection, attention, and cuddles to keep them happy and relaxed. Having recently said goodbye to my last beloved cat, I bring both compassion and genuine empathy to pet care. I know how much pets mean to their families, and I am committed to giving each cat the same level of kindness, patience, and dedication that I gave my own.
“I’m so grateful to have found such a lovely and trustworthy person to watch my two cats over the weekend. She clearly has great knowledge and experience with animals, and I felt completely at ease being away. She kept me updated with sweet pictures and videos, which meant a lot. Highly recommend – your pets will be in safe, caring hands!”

I’m confident, caring and patient around animals, and genuinely enjoy spending time with them.

“Marianne kindly picked up Shadow from our house, very friendly and clearly adores animals! Shadow seemed to warm up to get very well and quickly, Marianne sent us photo updates whilst she had her which was a nice touch. Will definitely ask Marianne to look after Shadow again in the future! :)”
About: I have taken great care of dogs ever since I was very young surrounded by a dog loving family. I have owned dogs of varying size and temperaments of which I have trained since they were puppies and walked, fed and bathed them every day since. I work part time so my availability is pretty much open. I am available for boarding over the weekends and for walks any afternoons/evenings :) I will ensure all gates are secure and collar/leads are securely fastened. The doggies will be watched over 24/7 and will be in safe hands
About: Having worked in veterinary nursing I have experienced caring for a vast ray of cats and their individual emotional and welfare needs. Although I have not owned cats myself. I have fostered and find it very rewarding caring for cats waiting to find their forever homes.
About: Hi! I’ve always loved animals and really enjoy spending time with cats of all breeds, personalities, and temperaments. I understand that leaving your cat with someone else can be stressful, so I do everything I can to make sure both you and your cat feel comfortable and at ease. I treat every cat in my care as if they were my own and will make sure they receive plenty of attention, enrichment, playtime, and affection throughout their stay. Whether your cat is very social and playful or more independent and quiet, I’m happy to adapt to their routine and respect their space. I always assume every cat is an indoor cat unless stated otherwise, so I ensure a safe, secure indoor environment is maintained at all times. If your cat has specific outdoor access arrangements, just let me know and I’ll follow your instructions carefully. I am committed to providing a calm, loving, and comfortable environment where your cat can feel safe while you’re away. I’ll also keep you updated with regular photos and messages so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is being well looked after. With new clients, I like to arrange a meet and greet before accepting a booking request to make sure everyone is comfortable and it’s the right fit. I look forward to meeting you and your furry friend!

“Samantha's partner Max looked after Bobby. It was a meet and greet for everyone so we could use Samantha and Max again, I felt happy leaving Bobby there and both dogs seemed to be happy with each other. I will definitely leave Bobby again.”

I enjoy fell walking and keeping fit, so your dog will get lots of exercise, attention, and affection.

About: I’m a genuine dog lover who has been around dogs for most of my life. Since I was 11 years old, my family has had dogs of all sizes, including a Dalmatian and two Cocker Spaniels. We raised them from puppies, so I have experience caring for young dogs as well as fully grown adults. Our Dalmatian is now 14 years old, which has also given me experience with senior dogs and understanding the importance of slowing down and walking at their pace. I have also looked after friends’ dogs of various breeds and sizes (some of whom are pictured in my profile). I absolutely love dogs and am the sort of person who will happily stop in the street to ask if I can say hello to someone’s dog! I work mainly from home, which gives me a lot of flexibility. As long as I have somewhere to set up my laptop, I can work from most locations. My normal working hours are 9am–5pm, with an hour for lunch, so I’m available for walks during lunch breaks and shorter breaks throughout the day. I am also able to board dogs for the day or overnight. Your dog’s safety and wellbeing are my top priorities. I am very careful about keeping track of where dogs are at all times and always make sure doors and gates are securely closed when entering or leaving. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your dog, and I will care for them as if they were my own. My role is mainly remote so can work most places if there is a set up available for my laptop etc. I work 9-5pm and have an hour lunch so I would be able to walk the dog on short breaks and within my lunch hour Your pet’s safety and wellbeing are my highest priorities. I understand that trusting someone to care for your pet and enter your home is a big decision, and I take that responsibility very seriously. I am always mindful of where your pet is and take great care to ensure they remain safe and secure at all times. When visiting your home, I am particularly careful when entering and leaving, making sure all doors and gates are properly closed so there is no risk of your pet slipping out. My aim is to provide a calm, safe, and familiar environment where your pet feels comfortable and relaxed while you are away, giving you complete peace of mind.
“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’ve lived in BD13, Thornton for over 30 years, and have been a dog owner for the last 10 years. I retired from FT work in 2024, so have plenty of spare time. I walk daily, no matter what the weather, and know some great off road routes for dog walking, so can help your dog maintain a level of fitness if for any reason you’re unable to do so, whether due to health issues, or because of work or family commitments, or if you just need a break! I’ll record walks on Strava so you can see what exercise your dog has done, and I’ll send you pics to show your doggie having fun! Car owner, so can drive to / from anywhere local. For home boarding, I live with my wife of 33 years, along with Angus, our 12 year old Jack Russell Terrier. If your dog stays with us, they will be welcomed, and treated as our own. I retired from full time work in 2024, so have plenty of time to spare, and can offer dog care / walking services on most days. Even if it’s just a one off, to support your dog whilst you’re away for a special occasion, I can hopefully help out. My house has a lovely green garden, mostly fenced, so if your pet isn’t ready for walking the full requested period, they can relax either in my house or garden whilst you have time out! I will record all walks on strava, and send you screenshots of routes, so you know your dog has been exercised, aswell as pics if you wish.
About: I live in a beautiful rural area, surrounded by miles and miles of green fields and woodlands for your dog to enjoy. I currently have 1 little doggie, she is a fluffy, friendly poodle cross. I had dogs growing up and often look after pets including dogs for friends and families when there away. I live in a beautiful rural area, and currently work part-time. I can walk and look after small and medium sized friendly dogs in my home. I have children and pets. 1 dog and 1 cat. I have a garden for your dog to play in and my own little dog to keep them company. Our house is large, there is plenty of space for dogs to have there own space and get away from each other if needed. I can crate your dog if you wish.
“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!”
“Sophie was so quick to respond on the app and keep me updated all day! She was flexible and worked around what I needed!! She was gentle and kind with Hugo and he had the best day!”
About: I'm offering dog-walking, doggy daycare and overnight sitting in the Calder Valley. For dog-walking, I can collect your dog from your home, take them for an hour's walk and drop them back home. I can run or walk (and, of course, play Stick) with energetic dogs or do more chilled walks with smaller and elderly dogs. For sitting and day-care: I have a small fenced back yard for fresh air breaks but mostly your dog will be with me in my living-dining room, getting one to one attention - lots of games and cuddles. My house backs onto woods and fields for regular walks. I can look after older dogs who need regular toilet breaks (although my house does have steps up to it). I don't have my own dog (sadly, I can't commit to a full-time dog). I will never take on a second dog from another family without both families’ express permission first, so you have peace of mind that your dog will be my sole priority and there's no risk of fights and injury. My favourite breeds are the retriever and the sight-hounds families; I also love cockerpoos, daschunds and border terriers, in fact I’m discovering new favourite breeds all the time! I prefer not to take jack russells, akitas, rottweilers or dobermans. I work from home. I enjoy hiking, running and going to pubs and cafes, so if your dog is well behaved they can come everywhere with me. My garden is I fenced (I only have a small fenced yard) so I rely on taking the dogs for regular walks in the woods.

About: I have many years of experience with animals, growing up our family always had pets which is where I developed my love for them and I am very passionate about them being well cared for. I have volunteered at dog shelters both in Thailand and Portugal caring for dogs of all different natures, this gave me a much deeper understanding of them. In the past year I have been sitting various different dogs, some locally and some further away as I have experience with Thai rescues and with this being quite specific people have requested me for this reason. I have sat for elderly dogs, small dogs and younger energetic dogs so feel I have a good range of experience. I have received wonderful reviews from my customers, they always come back to a happy pet! I am looking to make dog walking and sitting my full time job, so I have plenty of time spare to care for your pups! I will always try to stick to the routine they already have, I would usually ask the owner on initially meeting to provide instructions including meal times, walk times, any medication they need and any other information that helps maintain there regular routine.
“Our dog adores Liam, always happy to see him. Liam brings with home many years of living with dogs and academic qualifications, not only is he giving our dog the daytime exercise and attention he needs, but also experience on how to raise and train a puppy. Thank you Liam”
“Megan was fantastic, wolf loved his walks. Really reliable and helpful was so happy to see her. Would 100 percent recommend. Wolf is a large breed who is scared of other dogs, Megan was not phased by this as she has lots of experience. Thank you Megan.”
About: I have over two years of experience caring for animals, including both big and small dogs as well as cats. I grew up raising an Alsatian and a Belgian Malinois and so I am confident, caring and patient around animals, and genuinely enjoy spending time with them. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, companionship and following each pet’s individual routine. I treat every animal with the same care and attention I would want for my own. My pet will fit naturally into my routine alongside work as an Actor, residential care practitioner, caring for children and elderly, with daily care, attention and love. I care for pets in their own home by following their routine, providing food, walks, playtime and companionship, while keeping their environment clean, safe and comfortable.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was kid, having grown up in an animal-obsessed family. I have my own cat and hope to one day have a little puppy too! My little girl is perhaps the biggest cat and dog fan ever. She’ll be coming along with me for any house visits or dog walks. I’m self employed but spend the daytime solely looking after my little girl, meaning we have all the time in the world to play and care for your fur babies. I typically work Monday-Wednesday. My work is all done from my laptop as I’m self employed, so it can be done anywhere. In the day, me and little girl are free for all your sitting needs. I can’t offer care for pets at my own house unfortunately, but happy to stay at your home where they’ll likely feel more comfortable anyway!
About: I work within animal nursing, I have experienced with a variety of breeds from bulldogs to greyhounds. I treat every pet as an individual and their emotional and physical welfare is my priority. I enjoy caring for animals and my days revolve around the care of my own Dogs. I typically do a morning toilet walk, breakfast. Longer midday walk usually 45 mins to a couple of hours. Tea around 5/6pm then an evening toilet walk. With toilet breaks in the garden throughout the day and evening. I have a fenced garden my kitchen window looks out on to with a secure gate I have two social Dogs who would be in the House with your pet. My dogs are very playful so please make me aware before hand if your Dog prefers a quieter home setting as I can keep my dogs seperated
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for many years through personal experience as a dog owner. I raised my first dog from just two weeks old, giving me hands-on experience with puppy care, feeding schedules, socialization, and basic training. I’ve also adopted and cared for rescue dogs, which has taught me patience and how to adapt to different personalities and needs. I’m comfortable with dogs of various sizes and breeds and have experience with strong, energetic breeds, including bully breeds. I genuinely love spending time with dogs, whether that’s going for walks, playing, providing companionship, or sticking to their established routines. I understand the importance of creating a safe, loving, and structured environment where dogs feel comfortable and cared for. I’m currently available on weekdays and have a flexible daytime schedule, which allows me to provide plenty of attention, companionship, and care for your pets. Whether your furry friend needs a walk, a check-in, or some company while you’re away, I’m happy to work with you to find a routine that fits their needs. I currently focus on providing walks and in-home drop-in care, as I love giving pets attention and companionship while keeping them comfortable in their own environment. I’m happy to follow your pet’s routine and provide plenty of care, playtime, and cuddles while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and well-being are my top priorities, and I will always treat them with the same patience, love, and respect that I would give my own pets.
About: Hi my name is Martyna and I live in Greater Manchester, Rochdale. My family has a little teddy bear Pomeranian named Ruby for the last 8 years and I lover her SO much. When I was at University I would make my sister send me pictures and video updates on her. I've always loved animals and enjoy spending time with dogs and cats of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. I understand that leaving your pet with someone else can be stressful, so I do everything I can to make sure both you and your pet to feel comfortable and at ease. I treat every dog in my care as if they were my own and will make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and cuddles throughout their stay. Whether your dog loves being active or prefers a quieter environment, I'm happy to accommodate their needs and routine. I am committed to providing a safe, loving, and comfortable environment where your dog can feel at home while you're away. I will also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is being well looked after. With new clients, I like to arrange a meet and greet before accepting a booking request to make sure everyone is comfortable and it's a good fit. I look forward to meeting you and your furry friend! PROMPT RESPONSES Pet care fits well into my weekly routine as I currently have a flexible schedule. I am due to graduate from university at the end of July and am on a zero-hour contract with a real estate firm, where I am typically booked in on Tuesdays and Thursdays, with additional days depending on workload and auction schedules. Outside of this, I work from home, which gives me a lot of flexibility to provide consistent care, visits, and attention throughout the week. My routine is generally adaptable, so I can plan pet care around existing commitments to ensure I am reliable and punctual. Because of this flexibility, I am able to offer a good level of availability during weekdays and can accommodate regular routines, feeding schedules, and any specific care needs. I prioritise safety, trust, and consistency in both my own home and the owner’s home. I always follow the pet’s usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding, exercise, playtime, and any specific care instructions provided. When caring in a client’s home, I am respectful, tidy, and mindful that I am in their pet’s familiar environment. I make sure all doors, windows, and access points are secure before leaving, and I pay close attention to keeping pets safe and comfortable at all times. I take the time to understand each pet’s personality and needs, whether they are more independent or require extra attention and reassurance. I aim to create a calm and stable environment so they feel relaxed while their owner is away. Above all, I treat every pet as if they were my own and every home with care and respect, ensuring owners can feel confident and at ease throughout the booking.

“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.”
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.

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: 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.
“Sophie is a life saver. She agreed to take care of my dogs as a replacement sitter for an urgent situation that happened while I am away abroad. She described my dogs as easy to handle, while I know that Russell (who is almost 17 yo) is sometimes not very easy. Sophie is patient and understands the need of a senior dog. She is a very reliable, responsible sitter. Thank you so much.”
About: Hi, I'm Lauren, and caring for dogs isn't just something I do, it's something I genuinely love. I've spent years building my knowledge and experience working with dogs of all ages, breeds and personalities. I'm currently training to be qualified in animal care, welfare and behaviour, experienced with puppy training, confident handling large and energetic breeds, and I understand that every dog has their own routine, quirks and needs. I share my home with my own rescue dog, William, who has taught me more than any textbook ever could. I've always rescued dogs and have had all kinds of breeds from greyhounds and cavaliers to staffies and papillons. Through training, socialisation and everyday adventures, I've developed a calm, patient approach that helps dogs feel safe, secure and relaxed while they're in my care. I am fully insured, DBS Checked, licenced for home boarding with Bradford City Council (287196/634260) and canine first aid trained. Whether your dog needs a fun-filled walk, a cosy overnight stay, drop-in visits while you're away or simply someone who'll treat them with the same love and attention you do, you can count on me. I'll always tailor my care to your dog's individual routine, ensuring they receive plenty of exercise, enrichment, affection and, of course, belly rubs if they're accepting applications. Your dog's safety and wellbeing are my highest priorities. I'm reliable, organised and committed to keeping you updated with regular photos and messages, so you can enjoy your time away knowing your best friend is having a wonderful time too. I know how difficult it can be to leave your dog with someone new because I'd expect exactly the same level of care for my own. That's why I treat every dog as if they were part of my family. I can't wait to meet you and your four-legged best friend! A typical day with me includes up to two enjoyable walks of up to an hour each through the beautiful woodlands and countryside right on my doorstep. Every walk is tailored to your dog's age, fitness and individual needs, allowing them to explore, sniff and enjoy the great outdoors at their own pace. If your dog isn't able to go for long walks, I'll provide plenty of alternative enrichment, gentle play and mental stimulation to keep them happy and engaged. I believe a dog's wellbeing is about much more than physical exercise. That's why I incorporate a healthy balance of walks, interactive play, enrichment activities and rest throughout the day, ensuring every dog returns home content, relaxed and fulfilled, both mentally and physically. Our living room opens directly onto a spacious, fully enclosed and secure rear garden through large patio doors, giving dogs easy access to a safe outdoor space where they can play, explore and enjoy fresh air throughout the day. Inside, dogs are free to relax and settle wherever they feel most comfortable, whether that's stretching out in the living room, curling up on a cosy bed or snoozing in their favourite spot. Every stay is tailored to your dog's individual routine, preferences and needs, ensuring they feel safe, relaxed and completely at home while in my care.
“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”
“Ash (and Arlo) did a wonderful job looking after Eddie for a week. Ash is incredibly caring, attentive, and clearly treated Eddie as if he was her own. I felt completely reassured knowing he was in such kind and capable hands. The service was excellent from start to finish, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Ash to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter. Thank you so much Ash”
“As everyone else’s review said - absolutely delighted with our Luna’s stay with Charlotte. We received pictures and updates daily, which was great as we were missing Luna quite a bit. Highly recommended!”
“Joe was really helpful with our booking and agreed to meet ahead of Ivan's stay to make sure he was comfortable. During the stay Joe kept up the communications so we knew how Ivan was doing and took him on some lovely long walks. It was great to get back a tired happy dog! Will be using Joe again as he's been great!”
“Alison was brilliant with our staffie Bo, who stayed overnight at her house. The regular updates and photos were much appreciated and Bo seemed very relaxed and comfortable with Alison (especially since she can be very hyper!) Would definitely recommend :)”
“Daisy is lovely and was absolutely brilliant with our Boston Terrier, Louie! She sent us pictures every day while we were away and we could tell how well Louie was looked after and what a fab time she was having. Daisy looked after Louie like she was her own 🥰. We will definitely be booking Daisy again in the future!”
