Dog Sitting
After spending 2 years failing to find someone I could trust with my dogs when I couldn't be there for them, I saw an absence and failing in the dog sitting sector for dogs who struggle - I'm here for those moments when you can't be.
NOTE: I do not offer multi-weekday, week long or longer sits at any time.

Leaving your dog can be stressful, believe me, I hate doing it myself!
The people who find my site, usually do because their dog has struggles - whether it's in the home or outside, our struggling dogs often can't be left for long, or at all.
This makes life hard - while most of us are happy to give up the social life to support our dogs, there will always come events when you really need to go out: Weddings, funerals, and all important date nights and time with your friends for the sake of your mental health sometimes, or a weekend away to reconnect with your partner or family!
This is why I offer my limited short sits, because if you're overwhelmed with daily life, stressed because you feel shut in, you'll reach a point when you simply can't support your dog, and your own mental health can suffer. You can't fill their cup if yours is empty.
Please get in touch with as much notice as possible, so that I can spend time building a relationship with your dog - leaving them with a complete stranger won't do them any good, and you will worry about the 'what ifs'!
You can trust me to respect your dogs' boundaries - if you have to leave them and they're still worried around me, know that they will have all the space they need and I'm simply there to offer calm support and safety if they need it - in which case, they will come to me. Their safe spaces are important to them, and me.
