I love dogs and would love to have my own one day.
For now I get my doggy fix by looking after other dogs while their owners go away for a night, weekend or holiday. We have been looking after dogs for over 7 years now and the first dog we ever looked after still comes to stay with us all these years later.
Myself and my two daughers, aged 15 and 12 love having dogs to stay. The longest stay for a dog has been a month!
We starting doing this by being a host for a Barking Mad and now have private clients whose dogs are regular visitors.
We have had various breeds to look after including Labradors, Llasa Apso, Cocapoo, Standard Poodle, Bijon to name a few....
We have looked after dogs from 7 months upto 12 years old and they have all been lovely.
We live in a house with a front and back fully fenced garden and have many lovely countryside walks in walking distance from our house.
We don't have any pets of our own but we like to meet any new dogs to make sure the owners and dogs feel confident before the stay. Sometimes with more nervous dogs (or owners) we suggest a one night settling in sleepover or day so the dog can get more familiar with the us and the house.
We really do provide a home from home stay for our doggie visitors.
Full refund if canceled before 12:00 p.m. 7 days before the booking, 50% refund afterward.
No refund is payable if the booking is canceled on or after the start date.
Note: All times are based on the sitter’s time zone
I can’t speak highly enough of Jackie and how well she looked after our 3 year old Cockapoo. This was the first time he had stayed away from the family and Jackie took the time to meet Sunny ahead of his stay giving us absolute reassurance that he would be fine. Regular updates while we were away were great as well and he clearly enjoyed his stay with Jackie and her family. We won’t hesitate to use Jackie in the future.
Absolutely 100% recommend Jackie. Clear communication before and during Truffle’s stay and kept in touch with regular updates and pictures. Offered Truffle a real home from home.
