“I met John and Marion prior to agreeing them looking after my dog Mercy. They made me and Mercy very welcome and I was reassured I was leaving her with lovely ppl. I was away for 12 days and they sent pics of her whilst away. On returning I picked Mercy up and am completely satisfied she has been looked after very well. Thankyou both. I would not hesitate with using their service again”
“Teddy was happy and wore out at the end he defiantly had a lot of fun playing with her child and them in the garden. And sent us pictures of him throughout the stay. We Would recommend her (:”
“Sally is a brilliant dog sitter. My dog is very nervous around new people but after recieving our first photo update, I could see how relaxed and happy she was with Sally. Thank you for taking good care of my pooch ❤️”
“Cannot recommend Megan enough! Megan looked after my girl Lola and did such a great job, she came home so happy and well looked after. She was so proactive and made sure she had all the info she needed to take good care of her, it made us feel confident we had made the right choice. Lola is quite nervous but she settled in well which was such a good sign for us. We got updates throughout her stay which put our minds at ease, we couldn’t have asked for a better stay for Lola.”
“Jack has been absolutely amazing with cassie. Lots of photos and videos to put my mind at ease as I was nervous about leaving her. She is a rescue who we've only had 2 months and she has had a really rough start in life. Was worried she would think shes being abandoned again. She has had lots of walks, cuddles and taken over his bed! Not even home from our holiday yet but already planning her next visit to him along with her big sister. 100% would recommend Jack to look after your fur babies!”
“Sara looked after my 6-month-old puppy Tiny for two weeks and I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the very beginning she was friendly, reassuring, and clearly very experienced with dogs, which immediately put me at ease. While Tiny was with her, Sara kept in constant contact and sent twice-daily updates with lovely photos. It was so nice to see how well Tiny was settling in and enjoying herself, and it really helped me relax while I was away. When I picked Tiny up, she was happy, relaxed, and clearly very well cared for. You could tell she had been given lots of attention, love, and exercise. It’s never easy leaving a young puppy, but Sara made the whole experience completely stress-free. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Sara again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and reliable dog sitter. She truly went above and beyond.”
“We couldn’t have asked for better dog sitters than Ebony and Reuben! They were absolutely wonderful – friendly, caring, and professional from start to finish. They followed all of our instructions perfectly and kept us updated frequently, which gave us total peace of mind while we were away. Marlow was clearly very well looked after and happy in their care. Truly top-notch service – we would highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable and caring sitters.”
“Danielle looked after our dog whilst she was recovering from surgery. Her place is ideal if your dog requires something quieter, she listened to our dogs requirements and communicated well.”
“Picky had an amazing time with Karen. I could tell he absolutely loved her. On our side, we were really happy with everything too. She asked many pertinent questions, we could tell that she really knows her way around dogs. Picky being epileptic, we really wanted somebody thorough and trustworthy with his medication. She didn’t disappoint and we are looking forward to booking her again!”
“Elvis loved his stay at Armans. We had regular updates and Elvis and Benji got on really well. Arman was really easy to communicate with and we’d be happy to use their service again. Thanks so much”
About: I’ve been around dogs for as long as I can remember and have grown up with both large and small breeds, from German Shepherds to little terriers. I currently have a 6-month-old Sprocker Spaniel, so I’m very familiar with the energy, enthusiasm, and affection that dogs bring into our lives. Spending time with dogs is something I genuinely love, whether that’s taking them on long walks, playing with them, or simply making sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I treat every dog as if they were my own and understand how important it is for owners to know their pet is in safe, caring hands. Alongside caring for healthy, active dogs, I also have experience looking after senior dogs with mobility issues, ensuring they receive the patience, support, and extra care they need. I’ve cared for rescue dogs, helped build confidence in dogs struggling with social anxiety, and supported dogs with medical conditions, including epilepsy, always following owners’ guidance and routines closely. My experience with dogs of different ages, temperaments, and needs has helped me become adaptable, attentive, and confident in providing the individual care each dog deserves. I work from home three days a week, which gives me plenty of time and flexibility to provide attentive pet care throughout the day. I have my own dog, so caring for pets is already a big part of my daily routine. We enjoy three walks a day (one long walk and two shorter walks), along with playtime, training sessions, enrichment activities, and lots of cuddles. I like to pay close attention to each dog’s personality, energy levels, and mood so I can tailor their day to what they enjoy most and what makes them feel comfortable and happy. I provide a safe, loving, and calm environment where pets are treated like part of the family. I take the time to get to know each dog’s routine, preferences, and needs to help them feel secure and settled. Whether caring for pets in my home or in their owner’s home, I ensure they receive regular exercise, playtime, mental stimulation, fresh water, feeding according to instructions, and plenty of affection. I always monitor how a dog is feeling and adapt activities to suit their energy level and comfort, while maintaining a safe and trustworthy environment at all times.
“Soraya has been amazing with my doggy, left with her on a very cold and wet week they had lots of walks and chills too! Couldn’t be happier, great communication whilst trusting he’s in good hands!”
“Erin was the perfect dog host and provided regular updates and pictures throughout the 4 night stay. While my dog and Erins did not exactly see eye2eye, Erin handled it just fine. I would have no problem in recommending Erin.”
“Demi was brilliant sent photos and a video of Kia my fur baby she made herself comfortable on the sofa with Demi husband and made my time leaving with them so easy Kia got sulks on with me when I got her home because she had such a good time playing with Demi dog and cats. Definitely recommend Demi to any dog owners who after leave there pets whilst they are away. Thank you Demi I think Kia would like to come back for another good time.”
“Minjia did a really great job with Franklin and helped us feel at ease while we traveled. For close to a week she made sure to provide us with consistent updates and pictures/videos, and we really appreciated all the time, care and effort she put in.”
“We left dita for the first time with someone who wasn’t family or close friends, we were very wary of this and how it would go, But our worries and concerns were immediately delt with. She accommodated dita with loving care and attention as she had an injured leg with antibiotics and pain relief. Not one single tablet was missed and dita was comfortable. We had multiple videos and updates every single day, I would thoroughly recommend booking with d, we for sure will be using again in the near future. 5 stars would give more if I could! Thanks for having dita and loving her as your own x”
“I am just incredibly grateful and happy I found Joseph C. We had a really big dilemma finding someone to look after our miniature schnauzer ahead of a week’s holiday planned in September. My mind was already at ease when we went to meet her - Lola was so relaxed when we went there (she can usually barks when she first meets someone but she didn’t at all!!) While we were away, we were sent updates and I can clearly see from the images that Lola had a great time. 5 stars from me - thank you for looking after our baby 🥰”
“Leah has been amazing from start to finish and I would thoroughly recommend her. She was great at communicating and very professional with her approach to all of the training that Billy is still needing because he is still so young. I was very happy leaving Billy in her capable hands and am already planning some more dates in the future.”

“Lauren was an excellent cat sitter. Our two boys can be a bit quirky and she figured them out in no time! I have already booked her for future visits and would definitely recommend her to anyone else.”
“We couldn’t recommend Megan enough! She provided thorough updates daily, tended to all tasks requested. Our cat isn’t the friendliest but she gave us assurance that he was happy & taken care of. We are extremely grateful for her.”
“Mason was incredibly helpful, stepping in to take care of our cats on short notice while we dealt with a family emergency. He was very capable and gave us regular updates to let us know the cats were fine which was very important to us as we didn’t have the mental space to be worrying about them as well. Our cats are a little skittish, and he managed that just fine, making sure that they were well cared for.”
“Came to our house everyday to take care of our cats and did a great job! Fed them both, gave them treats and cleaned the litter. We got updates every day with pictures so we could see them while we were away. The cats seemed to have a good time. Would book again. :)”
“Michelle is a lovely cat person! We came home to 2 very happy and comfortable cats who had been well fed and looked after!! She even visited an hour earlier when the clocks changed so they were fed on time!! Added to my favourites and will definitely book again! Thank you Michelle!! X”

Blade and layla love him only met several times but it will be a on going thing several times whilst im out working but he was brilliant with them.”
About: I’ve always had cats, always had dogs all my life. If I’m honest they help me, support me and generally make me happy. I’m recently retired, doing some dog walking and boarding under the Proper Dog Walking Co. I’ve recently started the Proper Cat Feeding Service. The use of the word proper is a bit tongue in cheek and relates to something my dad used to say about dogs needing a proper walk. I have two Main Coons and 3 dogs. I take their care seriously and would like to help where I can.
About: As a cat owner myself, I know how important it is to leave your cat with someone you trust. I'm experienced with feeding, playtime, litter care, and sticking to their usual routine, and I'll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you're away.
About: I have three cats, all with completely different personalities and preferences, which I’ve come to really love and understand. From more independent cats to those that want constant attention, I’m used to adapting to each one’s needs. I also have experience with both senior and younger cats, so I’m comfortable caring for a range of ages and temperaments.
About: A Lifetime of Cat Love. Your Baby, Cared For & Captured. My love for cats isn't just a job it's a lifetime habit. Growing up, our home was always filled with purring companions, teaching me the unique language and needs of every feline friend. When you choose me, your cat isn't just a client; they become one of my own. I believe in attentive, personalized care: engaging in their favorite games, providing daily brushing for comfort and bonding, and offering all the snuggles or respectful space they desire. As a passionate photographer, I include complimentary photo updates with every visit. You'll receive beautiful, candid snapshots of your contented kitty, so you never miss a moment and can see firsthand how they're thriving. You can relax knowing your beloved baby is in safe, experienced, and loving hands. Let's connect so I can learn all about your cat's unique personality
About: I am a huge dog lover and have been taking care of them professionally for the last few years but have had pups my entire life. I have lots of experience of walking and caring for all different kinds of doggos, big and small, with various needs and personalities. I promise to care for your fur babies as I do my own, with lots of love and play and will give them a home away from home where they can relax and feel comfortable. I’m currently fully available for walks any day of the week. Whether this be for a regular same time walk or a last minute one off. I would treat your pets just like I treat my own, with lots of love and play. I am used to caring for dogs of all ages, I recently lost my Peaches at the age of 12, she had a push chair and needed extra time on her walks. Whilst my Pru at age 3 and Folly at 10 months are both full of energy and zoomies.
About: Both myself and my partner Matt have grown up with dogs all our life. Up until August 2025, we also had a Samoyed who unfortunately passed away. Max is a highly energetic dog who loves to play so we’ve got more than enough experience with him alone. Our garden is fully fenced off and quite large so lots of space for your pets to run around! We also live close to Waverley lakes so have lots of great walks nearby! We already walk Max each day so what’s the harm in one more!? We have an 12 year old son who absolutely adores animals so is very excited to join us on this venture and give your pet all the love! We also have a newborn baby. Currently Matt works Monday to Friday so ideally we keep to boarding on the weekend so that we are both available for your pets. I am currently on maternity so I’m happy and available to do drop in visits and walks during the week. Myself & my partner Matt will be looking after your pets so you’ll have both of us to provide that extra care. Feel free to ask any further questions you need! Matt works Monday to Friday whilst I’m currently on maternity leave. Our preference is to board on a weekend as we are both available to look after your pets. I am available for drop in visits throughout the whole week. We have a secure garden and we have a dog to offer your pet lots of play time if wanted! We are happy to crate your dog if needed but you will need to provide the crate.

About: I was raised in farmhouse where we used to have many animals. Pets were treated as proper family members, not only addition to our house. As a dog lover, I would like to provide real, loving home for your little fella while you are away, so you can enjoy your stay without any worries. PS. your dog will enjoy it too ! 😊 Currently, I stay at home with our little boy, so we have plenty of time to take care of new quest in our home. Me and little Jacob would love to have some company to fill our day with walks and play time. I am available 7 days a week. We have got big, properly fenced garden and plenty of free time- that's the best combination 😊If you have got any questions, please feel free to ask.

About: Our Labrador Benji has come such a long way! When we rescued him two years ago, he was anxious and struggled with trust. Today, he's the sweetest, most playful boy you'll meet. His journey taught us patience, compassion, and what dogs truly need to thrive. We'll give your dog that same dedication—plus a built-in playmate who never says no to a game of fetch! As a work-from-home couple, we're around virtually all day—your pup will never be alone! We welcome guests on weekdays and weekends. Benji gets two daily walks to our local park, and your dog will join us. Off-lead dogs can enjoy fetch and play sessions together, while dogs who prefer staying on-lead will get quality walking time and gentle companionship at their own pace. Between walks, we will be relaxing at home with access to our fenced garden as well as treats! As we work from home, there is always someone around. The dogs will have access to our fenced garden for their needs or to play. Plenty of toys and napping spots are available too!
“I honestly can’t thank Stacey enough for the amazing care she gave Ozzy while I was at work. Leaving your dog with someone else can be worrying, but she made me feel completely at ease from day one. Stacey kept me updated with lots of lovely photos and messages throughout the day, so I always knew Ozzy was happy and having the best time. It was obvious she cared for him as if he were her own, giving him so much love, attention, and care. The biggest sign of all was on the second day—Ozzy couldn’t wait to get back and actually ran straight to her house with his tail wagging! That told me everything I needed to know about how comfortable and happy he was with her. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Stacey to anyone looking for someone kind, reliable, and genuinely passionate about dogs. Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of my boy, Ozzy.”
About: I grew up in a household with both dogs and cats, and like I always say, a house without them is not a home. They are our "other" children. You can rely on me to love your pets as if they were my own, to care for them, play with them, walk them, bathe them, brush them, give them their medication. My current work is from home, and part time, so I feel like I have all the time in the world, and not much to fill it with, now that my child is grown up. My garden is spacious and fenced, and inside my home pets are allowed everywhere. Unless otherwise specified by the owner, they sleep on my bed, lay on my couch, play with my child's old plushies.
“Anna & Liam were absolutely great with Molly. It was her first time staying with Anna & Liam, & i’m always a little anxious when leaving Molly with someone new, but Anna & Liam put my mind at ease by sending updates & pictures throughout the day with Molly. She was tired out when Liam kindly dropped her back home......a tired dog is a happy dog! Thanks again to the both of you for taking care of Molly! We will be seeing you again very soon 😊”

About: I bring more than just love for animals, I bring a lifetime of experience. Having shared my life with both cats and dogs for over 40 years, I’ve cared for pets through every stage, from their first clumsy steps to their golden years. Friends and family always count on me as their go-to pet sitter when they travel or host guests, because they know their fur-babies will be treated like my own. Whether it’s daily walks, cuddles on the sofa, or gentle care for older pets, I offer reliable, thoughtful, and genuine companionship. When I’m not buried in books, I’m happiest spending time with furry friends. Since I only work part-time in academia, I have plenty of free hours to dedicate to walks, cuddles, and check-ins. My schedule is flexible, so I can easily adjust to your pet’s routine, whether that means early-morning walkies, evening playtime, or cozy overnight care. In my home, pets get the full “grandma’s house” treatment; cozy, relaxed, and just a little bit spoiled. They’re welcome everywhere: on the sofa, on the bed, or curled up at my feet while I read. I have a little backyard where we can enjoy fresh air and shade, and just a short walk away are the parks, perfect for ball games, stick-chasing, or gentle strolls. Cats are just as welcome here, whether they prefer a quiet nap in a sunny spot, brushing sessions, or a bit of playful pouncing. When I care for pets in the owner’s home, I make sure to keep their routine consistent and their environment safe, as if you’d never left. Whether it’s walks, cuddles, feeding, playtime, or simply quiet companionship, I treat every pet as though they were my own, with love, respect, and lots of attention.

“Erin helped me out very last minute by looking after Manny while I had to attend a medical appointment. She did a great job adapting and taking care of him on a hot day, thinking about his safety and comfort. He had a wonderful time and it was very reassuring. Absolutely recommend. She is knowledgeable with rescues and sensitive dogs.”

If you would like me to cat sit in your own home then I am more than happy to spend some time making sure your pet gets all the attention they deserve during my visit!

About: I am an animal lover, I have previously worked in a family ran kennels. I also have my own experience with owning a mixed breed reactive dog. Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine. As a pet owner myself, I plan my day around making sure my pets are fed, exercised, and given plenty of attention and enrichment. This makes it easy for me to fit caring for other pets into my schedule. I always follow each pet owner’s routine and instructions to make sure their pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I take the time to get to know each pet’s personality, ensuring they have fresh water, meals on schedule, exercise and playtime. I have had previous experience working in a family run kennels working with a range of breeds and temperaments. As I’m currently looking for my next job opportunity, I have a flexible schedule and excellent availability, allowing me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. This means I can be reliable, accommodate a variety of booking times where possible, and ensure your pets are never rushed during visits.
About: I’ve had dogs of one sort or another all my life. They have been my constant source of support, company and joy. Now retired after years working from home I am walking dogs for those that need help and support. I am now retired, after years of working from home and looking after the family’s various dogs, cats and assorted weird and wonderful pets. As a retiree, I really don’t have a schedule. As always my dogs dictate my day and we try to be flexible with each other. I really am free to meet the needs of my customers and will always negotiate a way to help. My dogs and cats share my home. I keep them fed and watered and cared for and loved. I consider them my friends and family. I will treat your animals with the same care and consideration.
About: Dogs have been a part of my life since I was a baby, and until recently my husband and I have always had rescue dogs. Sadly last year I lost my beloved golden retriever, and I have a dog shaped hole in my heart. I am therefore looking to fill that, by caring for other pet owners pooches 🐶 I have a wealth of experience and love to give, I am patient, always kind and caring 🐕 This is my full time job - I admit I do have the best job in the world!! I structure my day around the pets I need to visit, ensuring that they each receive quality care I treat every pet owner's home with respect and whilst at the property look for any possible security risks (open windows etc). I also leave the house very clean and tidy, and ensure that mail is collected and put out of sight, bins are put out/in, lights on/off, plants watered, curtains etc
About: I’ve grown up with animals and currently have one dog and three cats, so caring for pets is just part of my everyday life. I’m used to the little messes, the different personalities, and the routines that come with them, and I genuinely enjoy it. Being around animals feels natural to me, and I’m patient, attentive, and comfortable handling whatever comes up. I’ll treat your pets with the same care and attention I give my own. I’ve recently graduated from university and am currently based at home, which means I have a very flexible schedule. I’m available throughout most of the week and can dedicate plenty of time and attention to caring for pets, whether that’s regular check-ins, longer stays, or last-minute needs. While I’m not able to board pets in my own home, I’m very happy to care for them in the place they feel safest in your home. I understand how important it is for pets to stay in their usual environment and routine, especially when their owners are away. I can stay in your home to provide consistent care and companionship, or carry out regular check-ins to make sure they’re fed, comfortable, and doing well. I’ll always treat your home and your pets with respect, and make sure you feel updated and reassured while you’re away.
“Alex was very generous during our first walk and meet-and-greet. He took the time to listen carefully to Fred’s needs and to the type of training we want him to continue with. It’s clear that Alex is confident working with large and power breeds. We will definitely continue booking walks with him, and so far we are very satisfied.”

About: I've taken care of my own dogs both rescue dogs over the last 5 years one a staffy the other a German shepered was not easy at first but we got there both fun loving beautiful dogs now before these 2 I had no experience so had to learn as I was going along and picking tips up along the way and learn things but dogs become my passion. Im currently just been put out of work so would be available full time and would be something I'd love to do all the time instead of factory work ect I've loved animals ever since owning them and looking after others would be a dream. I live in a flat so be best to visit your home and already have 2 big dogs so I wouldn't be able to have pets here .
About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was a child and I’ve always had a passion for pets. I’ve rescued numerous animals in and around my neighbourhood, including two baby squirrels, and cared for and reunited them with their owners. I am happy to care for cats and dogs with different needs and will try my best to accommodate. I currently work part-time and have a young child. However, I love animals and will accommodate as much as I can to ensure that they’re in safe, loving hands. I offer care in pet owners home and will always ensure that the owners rules are followed. In my own home we have baby gates, doors and a large fenced garden to ensure the safety of your animal.
About: I've studied animal management at college which I hold a HND (Higher National Diploma) qualification for. I did animal behaviour, training, welfare and ethics etc. I did work experience in a kennels, so I am used to dog walking, cleaning up after dogs, feeding etc. I can work with senior animals, adults, puppies etc. I work with dogs, cats, small mammals, reptiles and invertebrates. I work part time as a carer at my home for my autistic brother. However I take bookings based on what ones I already have on (so long as the pet owner doesn't mind me popping out from time to time then I'll take it on) We have fencing to keep our dogs in the garden. In someone else's home I'd keep windows shut, doors locked unless going out, and only walk your pets in areas you advise as safe for peace of mind.
About: Both myself and my partner Matt have grown up with dogs all our life. Up until August 2025, we also had a Samoyed who unfortunately passed away. Max is a highly energetic dog who loves to play so we’ve got more than enough experience with him alone. Our garden is fully fenced off and quite large so lots of space for your pets to run around! We also live close to Waverley lakes so have lots of great walks nearby! We already walk Max each day so what’s the harm in one more!? We have an 12 year old son who absolutely adores animals so is very excited to join us on this venture and give your pet all the love! We also have a newborn baby. Currently Matt works Monday to Friday so ideally we keep to boarding on the weekend so that we are both available for your pets. I am currently on maternity so I’m happy and available to do drop in visits and walks during the week. Myself & my partner Matt will be looking after your pets so you’ll have both of us to provide that extra care. Feel free to ask any further questions you need! Matt works Monday to Friday whilst I’m currently on maternity leave. Our preference is to board on a weekend as we are both available to look after your pets. I am available for drop in visits throughout the whole week. We have a secure garden and we have a dog to offer your pet lots of play time if wanted! We are happy to crate your dog if needed but you will need to provide the crate.

I would treat your pets just like I treat my own, with lots of love and play.

“I met John and Marion prior to agreeing them looking after my dog Mercy. They made me and Mercy very welcome and I was reassured I was leaving her with lovely ppl.

I would not hesitate with using their service again”
“Sally is a brilliant dog sitter. My dog is very nervous around new people but after recieving our first photo update, I could see how relaxed and happy she was with Sally. Thank you for taking good care of my pooch ❤️”
“Cannot recommend Megan enough! Megan looked after my girl Lola and did such a great job, she came home so happy and well looked after. She was so proactive and made sure she had all the info she needed to take good care of her, it made us feel confident we had made the right choice. Lola is quite nervous but she settled in well which was such a good sign for us. We got updates throughout her stay which put our minds at ease, we couldn’t have asked for a better stay for Lola.”
“Jack has been absolutely amazing with cassie. Lots of photos and videos to put my mind at ease as I was nervous about leaving her. She is a rescue who we've only had 2 months and she has had a really rough start in life. Was worried she would think shes being abandoned again. She has had lots of walks, cuddles and taken over his bed! Not even home from our holiday yet but already planning her next visit to him along with her big sister. 100% would recommend Jack to look after your fur babies!”
“We couldn’t have asked for better dog sitters than Ebony and Reuben! They were absolutely wonderful – friendly, caring, and professional from start to finish. They followed all of our instructions perfectly and kept us updated frequently, which gave us total peace of mind while we were away. Marlow was clearly very well looked after and happy in their care. Truly top-notch service – we would highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable and caring sitters.”
“Elvis loved his stay at Armans. We had regular updates and Elvis and Benji got on really well. Arman was really easy to communicate with and we’d be happy to use their service again. Thanks so much”
About: I’ve been around dogs for as long as I can remember and have grown up with both large and small breeds, from German Shepherds to little terriers. I currently have a 6-month-old Sprocker Spaniel, so I’m very familiar with the energy, enthusiasm, and affection that dogs bring into our lives. Spending time with dogs is something I genuinely love, whether that’s taking them on long walks, playing with them, or simply making sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I treat every dog as if they were my own and understand how important it is for owners to know their pet is in safe, caring hands. Alongside caring for healthy, active dogs, I also have experience looking after senior dogs with mobility issues, ensuring they receive the patience, support, and extra care they need. I’ve cared for rescue dogs, helped build confidence in dogs struggling with social anxiety, and supported dogs with medical conditions, including epilepsy, always following owners’ guidance and routines closely. My experience with dogs of different ages, temperaments, and needs has helped me become adaptable, attentive, and confident in providing the individual care each dog deserves. I work from home three days a week, which gives me plenty of time and flexibility to provide attentive pet care throughout the day. I have my own dog, so caring for pets is already a big part of my daily routine. We enjoy three walks a day (one long walk and two shorter walks), along with playtime, training sessions, enrichment activities, and lots of cuddles. I like to pay close attention to each dog’s personality, energy levels, and mood so I can tailor their day to what they enjoy most and what makes them feel comfortable and happy. I provide a safe, loving, and calm environment where pets are treated like part of the family. I take the time to get to know each dog’s routine, preferences, and needs to help them feel secure and settled. Whether caring for pets in my home or in their owner’s home, I ensure they receive regular exercise, playtime, mental stimulation, fresh water, feeding according to instructions, and plenty of affection. I always monitor how a dog is feeling and adapt activities to suit their energy level and comfort, while maintaining a safe and trustworthy environment at all times.

“I am just incredibly grateful and happy I found Joseph C. We had a really big dilemma finding someone to look after our miniature schnauzer ahead of a week’s holiday planned in September. My mind was already at ease when we went to meet her - Lola was so relaxed when we went there (she can usually barks when she first meets someone but she didn’t at all!!) While we were away, we were sent updates and I can clearly see from the images that Lola had a great time. 5 stars from me - thank you for looking after our baby 🥰”
“Amy and her partner were absolutely brilliant. They arranged to meet up with me before the boarding so that my dog could meet theirs. Communication was fantastic and my doggy seemed to have a lovely time having a sleepover 😊 Will definitely book again”
“Ellie was absolutely fantastic when Cleo boarded with her for a night. She sent lots of updates so we knew Cleo was having a great time. After playing with Ellie's dogs Cleo has come home happy and worn out, and we'll definitely book with Ellie again in the future ☺️”
“Ellen was an absolute star for Ollie !! She handled Ollie when he was a bit poorly and Ollie can be a super energetic pup - Ellen was really professional and sent us loads of pictures and regular updates!! Felt really safe being a neurotic dog mom with really high standards”
