I operate as a joint trader with my husband and believe in providing a service on a 1:1 basis or 2:1 if there are two pets or more . Our service provides care in their own homes or solo dog walking. I do not board in my home but can pet sit in animals own homes.

Debbie Clarke
Pet Sitting
came across Bark.com, whilst looking for an alternative dog sitter, as I had been let down by Rover.com dog sitter.
After putting in the details of my dog, Margaret’s details popped up.
I liked her reviews. So I messaged her.
Literally, from messaging Margaret, I felt she knew my dog, as she too had a Staffy and we exchanged photos of our dogs.
So I booked Margaret. We continued messaging each other for a meet and greet.
Margaret is calm, but got excited when she saw my dog, … AND most importantly, my dog attached to her and her husband instantly, very reassuring.
Then I booked Margaret for an hour walk.
Our dog was happy with her walk and continued to play with Margaret when she got home.
Margaret arrived on time to look after our dog for the week. Our dog was very excited to see her.
Each day I got photos and videos and messages ensuring me our dog was fine.
I would 100 percent recommend Margaret and I too would book her again.

Margaret is a true dog person and my two fell in love with her from the get go. They always return from their walk, well and truly worn out and sleep for the next few hours. Margeret's rates are very reasonable and we are so glad that we found her. More...

Was very apprehensive as had never left our dog Pip before.
Margaret is excellent, always covering when needed and Pip loves her.
We wish we had found her earlier and would highly recommend

Margaret looked after our doggie's while we went on holiday for 2 weeks, she was absolutely fantastic and sent photos daily and updates, she is a very caring and kind person and extremely helpful, she Evan looked after our plants for us, she is everything we could have wished for and we have already booked her up again for next year.

Margret was absolutely fantastic. She looked after my 2 cockapoos for 8 nights. She was professional at all times. She sent me updates, photos and funny little stories about the dogs daily which I really appreciated. She is trustworthy, kind and thoughtful. I would give her more than 5 Stars! Thank you Margaret, we will definitely ask you to look after our dogs again! More...

Margaret came to meet our furry family yesterday and I have no hesitation in Margaret looking after our 3 dogs while we're away. I could tell she is a kind and trustworthy lady who really loves animals I know they will be in safe hands :) More...
Jane Rogers
Pet Sitting
She is a kind, warm-hearted lady who is good with dogs and I had no hesitation at our preliminary meeting which she suggested, over a cuppa and chat at my house, in then hiring her to dog-sit my two dogs one of whom is a boisterous puppy and handful right now. She was great, following my suggestions and instructions carefully, ie feeding times when to let my dogs outside to toilet etc. Very happy indeed with her service. More...
