We’ve just finished a lovely few days at Plas Y Wern Holidays in beautiful West Wales with our two Mastiffs 🐾

The dogs quickly claimed the raised patio outside the cottage as their favourite spot, happily standing guard and watching the world go by! Meanwhile, our favourite place was definitely the hot tub, soaking in the stunning views and spectacular sunsets. 🌅

We’ve enjoyed some lovely walks, plenty of relaxation, and a genuinely dog-friendly welcome throughout our stay.

Now we’re off to the next stop on our Welsh adventure! ❤️🐾

Some sitters want the easy Labrador who sleeps all day.

I want your:
✔️ reactive shepherd
✔️ anxious rescue
✔️ stubborn bulldog
✔️ clingy spaniel
✔️ elderly giant breed
✔️ “he’s fine once he knows you” Rottweiler
✔️ escape artist husky
✔️ entire male humper with strong opinions

And the multi-pet households?
Even better.

Give me the smallholding.
The mini zoo.
The laminated feeding charts.
The colour-coded leads.
The “they all sleep in different places” bedtime routine.

10 dogs? Fine.
Cats? Lovely.
Parrots shouting obscenities? Standard.
Chickens escaping? I’ve probably already caught them. 😂

Nothing really phases me anymore.

I’m calm, experienced, capable, and completely used to managing complex households, difficult dogs, senior pets, medical routines, reactive behaviours, and animals that need a little extra understanding.

This isn’t bargain-bin pet sitting.
This is premium, five-star, round-the-clock care in your pet’s own home — keeping routines consistent, stress low, and your animals safe, happy, and understood.

Because sometimes your pets don’t need “just a sitter.”

They need someone who genuinely gets them 🐶

Last day with these absolute beauties today 🐾💛

We were up early to beat the sun and get our walk in before the heat kicked in ☀️ Then it’s been all about enrichment, treats, cuddles, and keeping cool at home 🧊🐶

Going to miss these gorgeous faces!

If your animals come with a user manual, a side-eye that could cut glass, or a household routine that needs its own colour-coded spreadsheet… we’ll probably get on brilliantly 🐾😂🐶

The giant breeds? Love them.
The awkward dogs? My favourites.
The misunderstood babies who just need patience and understanding? Absolutely my thing ❤️

And the multi-pet households that make other sitters quietly panic?
Also my speciality 👀

Big dog packs, complex dynamics, rescue pets, nervous animals, farm-style chaos, tiny zoos disguised as family homes… I genuinely love managing households where every animal has different needs, routines, quirks and rules.

Whether your dog is:
• nervous
• reactive
• clingy
• stubborn
• anxious
• or simply convinced they personally pay the mortgage…

…I provide calm, experienced in-home pet sitting where your animals stay in their own environment, keep their routines, and are cared for properly — not just “watched.”

Because quality care isn’t the cheapest option…
but neither is coming home to utter carnage because someone underestimated your 45kg escape artist and the emotional support spaniel that screams when left alone for 12 seconds 👀😂

Experienced care matters — especially for:
✔ large breeds
✔ reactive or complex dogs
✔ multi-pet households
✔ rescue animals
✔ working breeds
✔ smallholding-style homes
✔ pets with very specific routines

💥 LAST MINUTE AVAILABILITY 💥
📅 29th may -7th June , if you have been let down or you’ve been debating a getaway,

☀️ FINAL SUMMER AVAILABILITY ☀️
📅 26th July – 1st aug
Once these dates are gone, my summer diary is pretty much full.

✔ DBS checked
✔ Fully insured
✔ Canine first aid trained
✔ Experienced with complex households & behaviour needs
✔ In-home pet sitting only — no kennels, no upheaval

Big feelings. Big paws. Big personalities. Big households.
Exactly how I like them 🖤🐶🐾

Started a new job today and I’ve officially been hired by this very serious-looking little crew… plus their gorgeous old girl 🐾😂

I’ve got the pleasure of spending the next week with these three little legends and their lovely senior lady — and honestly, just look at those faces. These guys have absolutely mastered the art of posing for the camera while looking deeply unimpressed about it 💕📸

Safe to say I’m already obsessed.

Back with the famous little princess Lily 🐾👑💕
A little nervous at first, but we’ve been having the best time together this week — lots of play, cuddles, walks, and adventures out and about 🦴✨
Such a sweet little girl and an absolute joy to spend time with 🐶💖

omg I do this and also can’t sing ,, poor dogs 😂😂😂🤣🤣🐶🐾

Back spending some time with these lovely boys this week 🐾💙

Sexy Dexy is clearly very aware of how handsome he is and has been striking a pose every time I turn around 📸✨😂

His rescue brother has still been happy, comfortable, and coming out for plenty of butt scratches 🥹🐶… he’s just not quite as keen on the camera as Dexy is!

🚨 Oh look… a unicorn. 🦄

I actually have availability.

Due to a last-minute cancellation, I’m free from 29th May – 7th June for pet sitting in your own home — which almost never happens because my diary is usually chaos. 😅

So if you’ve been let down, ghosted, or suddenly realised your “friend who said they’d help” absolutely cannot handle your 45kg lunatic on a lead… hello. 👋

I specialise in the households many sitters avoid:
🐾 Large & strong breeds
🐾 Multi-pet homes
🐾 Reactive/nervous dogs
🐾 Pets needing proper routine & experienced handling

I’m fully insured, DBS checked, canine first aid trained, and I offer full-time care — not popping in for ten minutes and hoping for the best.

I’m not the bargain-bin option. I’m the “you can actually relax while you’re away” option. ❤️

If you need reliable cover between 29th May and 7th June, message me ASAP before somebody else snaps the dates up.
