Our first-class dog and house-sitting service
For owners seeking the very best while they’re away, our five-star rated dog-sitting service provides a truly effortless and luxurious solution. Rather than moving your dog into unfamiliar surroundings, one-to-one care takes place entirely within the comfort and security of your own home. This means your dog — and any cats or small animals — can maintain their normal routine, enjoy familiar sights and scents, and feel completely at ease while you travel.
This is a one-to-one service, with the same trusted carer staying in your home for the duration of your trip, ensuring consistency, calm, and a strong bond every time you’re away. Daily walks are included as standard, along with plenty of individual attention, affection, and companionship.
Some benefits of in-home dog sitting include:
A consistent, familiar carer, your dog can build a lasting bond with
A calmer, more settled experience compared to kennels or boarding
Unlimited one-to-one care, cuddles, and attention
Your dog’s usual walks and routines are maintained
Complete home care, including mail, plants, and general upkeep
No drop-offs or collections required— perfect after long car, train, or plane journeys
You’ll return to a happy, relaxed dog and a clean, well-cared-for home, with nothing left to organise. It’s a seamless, premium experience designed to give you total peace of mind — and your pets the comfort, care, and consistency they deserve while you’re away.
About Us
From growing up on a stud farm surrounded by horses and Rhodesian Ridgebacks, a life spent outdoors with animals has always felt second nature. That upbringing fostered a deep love for dogs and an appreciation for their loyalty, energy, and the care they deserve.
Much of the inspiration behind Barking with Becky comes from Ruby, our much-loved Rhodesian Ridgeback. Affectionate, gentle, and wonderfully goofy, she’s happiest close to home, soaking up a sunny spot or joining the occasional adventure. Ruby sits at the heart of the business and features in our logo — a reflection of the genuine passion and lifelong connection with dogs that inspired its creation.
Why choose us?
Whether we’re heading out for a walk or settling in for dog sitting, your dog receives more than just care — they receive dedicated companionship. At Barking with Becky, every dog is cared for with the same consistent handler, allowing strong bonds to form through trust, familiarity, and a deeper understanding of your dog’s unique personality, routines, and needs.
Fully insured and trained in canine CPR and first aid, Barking with Becky maintains the highest standards of safe, professional pet care.
My approach goes beyond exercise and supervision, focusing on calm, enriching experiences that help your dog feel secure, stimulated, and truly cared for. With dependable, personalised services designed to fit seamlessly into your lifestyle, you can enjoy complete peace of mind knowing your best friend is always in familiar, trusted hands.
What Our Clients are Saying
Dog sitting review
Becky is BRILLIANT! We totally give Becky 5 gold stars! We have two dogs who are our world, so finding someone to care for them was very important to us.
Becky walks them both regularly and has done house sitting for us on many occasions. The dogs totally adore her, and I actually think they really miss her when we return home! Becky sends us regular photos and updates whilst we are away.
Becky clearly understands dogs and has a lot of expert knowledge. We are so delighted to have found her! Besides the dogs adoring her, she is a really lovely person and has become part of our family!
— Teddy & Pip’s owner, Amanda
Group walk review
Ronnie absolutely loves his group walks twice a week with Becky and the other dogs. We can’t recommend her enough. We always get updates of his adventures, and some of the pictures we get of him are so funny. If you're looking for a reliable, dedicated dog walker with a genuine care for you’re babies then look no further.
