Overnight sitting
I stay the night. Your pets stay home.
My flagship service, and it runs as a full 24-hour cycle. I stay overnight at your house so your pets keep their routine, their bed, their garden and their smells, and I come back at lunchtime for a walk so your dog isn't left on their own all day. It works for anything from one night to a month, and your home is occupied and looked after while you're away.

In my own words
How an overnight works
One night with me is a full 24-hour cycle. I arrive from about 5pm and your dog gets their tea at the usual time. I stay the night, so nothing about their evening changes except who's on the sofa. In the morning it's the usual feed and a short walk, and I leave about 9am.
Around lunchtime I call back for another short walk. That is the part people tell me matters most: your dog isn't shut in on their own all day while you're away. It's included in the price. If they'd like a longer walk at lunchtime, that's £10 extra.
At 5pm I'm back for teatime and the cycle starts again. One night, one 24-hour cycle, and it's the same care whether you're away for a night or a month. Any pet sit of more than 14 nights gets one night free.
If you want more daytime company on top, I can add a pop-in from £10 or an hour's walk from £15. For two or more dogs there's a supplement, which we'll agree at the meet & greet. And holiday house-sitting is available even if you have no pets. Just ask.

Common questions
Questions about overnight sitting
If yours isn’t here, ring me on 07813 081573. I answer my own phone.
Do you take my dog to your house?
No, never. I come to you. Your pet stays at home, in their own bed, with their own routine. I don't board or kennel dogs.
What does an overnight include?
A full 24-hour cycle. I arrive from about 5pm for the teatime feed, stay the night in your home, then do the morning feed and a short walk before I leave about 9am. Around lunchtime I call back for another short walk, and that's included in the price. At 5pm I'm back and it starts again. From £50 per night for one dog.
Is there a discount for longer sits?
Yes. Any pet sit of more than 14 nights gets one night free.
Do you charge more in school holidays?
No. A bank-holiday supplement applies, and we'll agree that at the meet & greet.
How far ahead should I book?
As soon as you know your dates. It's first come, first served, and I'll hold provisional dates for 48 hours while you finalise a holiday. If you can, check my availability before you book the holiday.
