I am an introvert and dogs are my people! Joy is bonding with them! 😍 I love spending time with them and going on little adventures.

We lost our fur baby Bella and miss her terribly. We have been pet sitting for the past 6 years. Providing your pet with the love and caring they need whilst you are away, so they are secure and happy and having their own little holiday, is something we strive to do for your peace of mind and your fur babies. I have looked after dogs with dietary requirements and administered medications morning and evening.

The experience of the types of fur babies that we look after is very broad, from Maltese Shitzu's to Labradors, Staffy's, Cocker Spaniels and vary in ages from puppies to older dogs. I take care of two 14 year old fur babies who need that extra care, administering medications an hour before breakfast and dinner.

We like to train them to have good recall if they are allowed off the lead for a run around down the park, and a bit of socialising with other pet owners. Happy to keep them on the lead also if required.

We spend the first day with them, all day just focusing on getting them settled in and comfortable so they feel safe and secure in our home. The joy we get when those connections are made and they are our little shadows is the sweetest thing. You can't beat the feeling of our clients dogs just wanting to be around us all the time and by our side at night when it's settle down time and a bit of TV, cuddles amd scratches.

We are their home away from home.

We live around the corner from a big council park and will walk your pets twice daily, in the morning and evening as this makes for a happy fur baby and creates a stronger bond and a fun loving place for them to want to come back to again and again. As our back garden is big we love to play tug of war or catch with them. We also live close to a dog beach which we like to take pets, especially during the summer months if allowed. Our property is safe and secure with fencing all around the garden and no way of pets being able to escape. What your pet is used to we adhere to replicate to alleviate any stress they may feel being away from their family. Your pet will not be short of cuddles and ear scratches. We only pet sit one families pets at a time, so we can give them our full attention and care. Sleeping arrangements for your beloved pet is indoors and we are happy for them to sleep in our bedrooms. We offer short and long term stays and have a fair amount of experience with pet sitting.

We have made a an alcove by the front door with a child gate near the entrance for added security and no sneaky escapes. This helps us feel safe that no-one can come into the door and the pets have a direct way to get out.

Someone is always home, I work part-time in the mornings and my 18 year old daughter works part-time afternoons.I live with my 18 & 21 year old daughters, who love to play in the back garden with the pets we care for. We have secure fencing and a large back garden and we don't leave your pet outside if we aren’t home unless specifically requested. Vaccinated pets preferable.
