I have always been an animal lover, and have had both dogs and cats living together in harmony throughout my life. Realising the importance of home boarding, and having a dog walker for when you are at work, I created Happy Dogz and Catz in February 2018.
I am fully Licensed, DBS Checked and Insured with ‘Pet Business Insurance’, which includes Public Liability, Key Cover, Care, Custody and Control.
I am Pet First Aid Certified and have a Diploma in Animal Care as well as a Dog Walking and Pet and Home Sitting Professional Diploma.
12/5/2020 In light of the current situation, I have completed an online training course – Prevent Covid-19
Licence No. LI/21/00050/ANHOMB
I am also a member of the ‘Association of Dog Boarders’.
I can walk your dogs in the woods and lakes in the Sandhurst/Crowthorne/Yateley areas. I love to see the dogs all having a fantastic time with their pals, ideally off lead in a safe place, providing that they have excellent recall.
I board your dogs in my own home and treat them like a loved member of my family, when you go away for a few days or on holiday.
I also offer a daycare service if you don’t like to leave them alone at home for extended periods.
I understand how difficult it can be to leave your beloved dog with someone you don’t know; but I can assure you that while staying with us your dogs are in good hands and are treated like part of our family too.
Subject to my availability I can also offer Puppy Pop-ins if you have a new puppy that can’t yet go out for walks due to vaccinations. Home visits are also available for older dogs who may not need a walk, or who perhaps need a visit later in the day, as well as cats if like me you would prefer them to stay in the comfort of your own home when you go on holiday.
Lastly, if you can’t make a vet or grooming appointment I can also offer a pet taxi service, again subject to availability.
I have a VW Caddy van which is fitted with the highest quality and safest range of dog transit cages available within the UK, so I can transport your fur babies in complete safety.
I would be very grateful if you could please leave a review for me via my Facebook page, please follow the link below.
If you’re struggling to fit your dog’s exercise in with your working day, I can break up your dog’s day by giving him a 1 Hour Walk including travelling time.
On return from the walk I will dry him if he’s wet or muddy and make sure he has fresh water.
I will walk in the local woods, parks, meadows and lakes in the area.
When you’re out for the day and want your fur baby to have all day company, or if you’re going away for a few days or on holiday, your dog can come to stay with me and be treated like one of my family.
I have a large fully enclosed garden and your dog will have fun, love and attention and be treated to daily walks to the local woods and lakes in the area.
If you have a new puppy who can’t go out for walks yet due to vaccinations, and you need someone to pop in during the day to feed him/her, clear up any mess and play with him/her, then I would be delighted to help you with this. I can also exercise any training commands you may like me to practice.
Then when your puppy is old enough, he or she can graduate to day-care or group walks.
If like me you’d prefer to keep your cats comfortable in their own home when you go away for a few days or on holiday; I can come round to feed them, give them love and affection, play if they like to play, empty the litter tray, pick up your post and even water your plants if required.
If you are out for a long day and you need a pop in later on in the day to give your dog his dinner, and let him out in the garden, then I can do this for you.
Or perhaps you have an older dog that may not need a long walk, just some company to break up his day and to be let out in the garden.
If you can’t make a vet or grooming appointment due to other commitments, subject to my schedule I can provide a pet taxi service to get your pet to their appointment.
Please arrange your payment with the vet or groomer and let them know that I would be bringing them.

I never have dogs for daycare or overnight boarding that I have not met; I have a great group of regular daycare dogs and boarders who stay with me throughout the year, and I like to make sure any new dogs will be compatible with both my own pets and my regulars.
You will receive regular updates, as I post photos and videos on my Facebook and Instagram pages so you can see your dogs having fun while they are out and about on their walks and staying with me.
Important Notes
For all new overnight boarders I offer a meet and greet service; this consists of me coming to your house to meet you and your dog in his/her own environment. If this goes well, I will then invite you to bring your dog to my house a few days later for part two of the meet and greet process. You will be able to see where your dog will be staying, ask any questions, and we can also go for a walk so that I can see how your dogs are when out and about.
All new overnight boarders must also have a minimum of one night sleepover prior to their big stay with me, at a cost of £35 per dog, for up to 24 hours, (the applicable daycare rate will apply for over the 24 hour duration). This is a licensing requirement for any stay of 3 nights or longer.
I also like to have a meet and greet with all new daycare dogs, usually consisting of a walk and meeting at my house.
This is a great opportunity to ensure that your dog is suited to my home boarding environment and is compatible with my pets and my regulars. If their big stay is a way off, I also like to schedule in occasional daycare days to familiarise them with coming to me.
I am unable to accomodate last minute enquiries for dogs I have never met, with no time for the meet and greets or one night sleepover.
For Boarding dogs collected after 0915 Mon-Fri or after 1000 on a Weekend/Bank Holiday the applicable day boarding rate will apply.
A 25% non-refundable deposit is required to book your dog’s stay, and the remaining balance is required prior to your dog’s arrival.
Additional Requirements
Making an Enquiry
Please contact me to check availability of your dates, and to let me know a bit about your dog. If I am unable to accomodate you, for whatever reason, I will try to help you find a good alternative
My chocolate Lab Malteser is like my 3rd child. I love him beyond words and was worried about someone else walking and looking after him.
When I started looking for someone who offers boarding I was very nervous, but when I met Sally that changed. He has been for daycare, walks and an overnight trial and I am so happy with the level of care Sally offers. You can tell that she genuinely loves all the dogs she looks after. I feel very lucky that I have found someone who I know will look after him.

Our beautiful working Cocker Spaniel puppy Milo loves going to Sally’s. He cannot wait to get inside the house and doesn’t turn back to us when we drop him off. (Thanks Milo!) Being a working Cocker, he doesn’t tire out easily (even with plenty of mental stimulation games) but after a day at Sallys, he runs to our sofa for a snooze! I love seeing Sally’s social media so I can see what Milo is doing and knowing Sally has lovely dogs that attend her daycare means Milo has some new puppy friends! I can see he very much enjoys being there and being with Sally and I know he is taken care of, as Sally treats all the animals in her care like they are her own.
Rebecca Redman 29 November 2021
Leia my Sprocker Spaniel has been going to Sally for day care since she was 4 months old. She is now 2.
Sally is amazing with her and we can go to work knowing that Leia is happy, safe and well cared for.
Leia loves Sally and her family.
Pam Wise 17 September 2021
Sally has looked after my Golden Retriever since she was a puppy. I looked at a few other boarders but as soon as I met Sally, I knew I could totally trust her to take care of Saffie. Sally is very calm and patient and puts a lot of thought and energy into making sure the dogs in her care have the best time. She sets up all sorts of fun games for them in the garden and keeps owners updated with lots of photos and videos. Saffie always looks so happy when she’s staying with Sally. I’d highly recommend her.
Ann Cope 17 September 2021
My pup Fudge absolutely loves Sally!! He started daycare from a young age and I’m sure he sees her house as a second home, he is always SO excited when he arrives and can’t wait to get inside.
Highly, highly recommend Sally!!
Rachel Weekes 17 September 2021
It’s so reassuring to know that our cat is in safe hands when we can’t be there to take care of him ourselves. Thank you Sally
Jo Fraser 17 September 2021
Sally has just looked after our 2 cats whilst we were away for a week, with 2 home visits a day. I’d highly recommend her! She posted lovely photos of the cats morning and night and messaged us with up dates as and when needed – when they were up to no good and not coming in at night 🤣. They loved having the attention from Sally and it was great to know they were being checked on, fed and watered and played with whilst we were away. Definitely worth it! Thanks so much Sally!
Vicky Rice 23 February 2020
I’d thoroughly recommend Sally to anybody. She has been walking my dog Danny for nearly a year and Danny adores her. He knows the sound of her van and always runs to the door to greet her. She has also had Danny for the day or overnight. She posts regular photos of her walks and videos so you can see the fun they are having. He even got a Christmas present from her which was so sweet. I do shift work and she is very accommodating to my need for irregular days. So glad I found her.
Natalie Smith 7 January 2020
Our cocker spaniel Pippa loves staying with Sally and really enjoys playing with her dog Cinders!
We are regularly kept up to date with photos and videos and would highly recommend Sally and Happy Dogz and Catz!
Andrew Watkin 10 November 2019
I am very happy to recommend Sally.
Sally walked Luchi when our regular dog walker was away. She is excellent, very punctual and very fond of animals. Luchi loved her and I was delighted by the several, great quality photos and videos she took of Luchi and posted on Facebook.
I will definitely be getting in touch with her again!
Sneah Nair 3 October 2019
Sally has just looked after our two cats for us whilst we went away for a week and has done a fantastic job. Having never had cats before or leaving them for more than 48 hours we were really nervous but Sally went in and saw them morning and evening, fed them, played with them and made sure they were ok and got them in, in the evenings for us. Sally sent us video’s and photos of the cats which we really appreciated and made us feel really comfortable about leaving them and could relax on holiday knowing that they were in good hands and perfectly fine! We will definitely be using Sally again to look after Bella and Lola.
Jane Crawford 2 June 2019
Sally looked after our Husky for the first time for just over a week while we were on Holiday and I would not hesitate in recommending Sally and her family in looking after your Doggos! Hank seemed to have a great time and we loved the daily updates provided on the Facebook page. Sally was easy to contact, very responsive and most importantly Professional in her approach. thanks again Sally!
Hank and Family 😃🐶

May I please recommend Sally to any families out there looking for help with dog walking whilst they are at work, or dog boarding whilst they are away. Sally has become part of our family having been around willow since she was only 10 weeks old. We started off with Puppy visits where Sally would come over and play with her for short periods of time. She would help with our training and socialising and the two of them built a lovely bond. Willow then had individual walks before now heading out each week on group walks to meet all of her friends.. and the best bit, Sally uploads photos and videos before I’ve even got home myself so I can see what a lovely day my little pup has had.
In addition, as a family we’ve had a few unexpected situations pop up in the last few weeks and Sally has been there for us. We have asked as short notice as the day before or even the same day for help with an extra walk or a visit and she has always been more than accommodating!!
This is the perfect service for any pet owners 😀
Katy Darke 15 March 2019
I first met Sally when my old boy was still around, I saw her walking in Wildmoor Heath and Simons Wood. I have never needed or used a dog walker or boarder before but I liked the way Sally was with the dogs she walked and her calm and caring nature. So I took her card.
We now have a rescue pup Django and we needed someone to have him for 5 days. We did a couple of trial days and then off he went stay with Sally and her family. He absolutely loved it! I think he thought he was on holiday too 😂
I loved seeing the updates from sally with pictures from their walks, very reassuring and lovely to see the dogs having fun together. I felt confident and at ease leaving my fur baby with Sally and anyone who knows me knows that this is quite something! Thank you Sally
Louise Butler 17 March 2019
Sally looked after my 6 month old cockapoo for a long weekend at the beginning of December. Having not left him with anyone away from home before I was really anxious about finding the right person, however as soon as I met Sally I knew she would give him all the love & attention he needed. My boy had the best weekend with Sally & her family, as well as all the other dogs that he met throughout the weekend. Seeing all the daily updates on her page also helped put my mind at ease allowing me to enjoy my weekend away.
Thank you Sally for taking such good care of Ralphy, he can’t wait to see you again for his next little holiday!
Emma Croxford 14 December 2018
Sally looked after Millie our rescue dog for our 2 week summer holiday in July. We have only had Millie 6 months & she is still quite nervous. However she settled in so well after Sally & her family made her feel at home. Sally has such a calming nature on Millie & her set up is just like our home so Millie felt very comfortable. We were kept informed by the brilliant daily Facebook posts so we could see pictures & videos of Millie which was really reassuring. All in all highly recommended. 5 star! Thanks Sally.
Jon Mole 8th August 2018
Sally had our 10 month cockerpoo while we were on our summer holiday, she absolutely loved it ! Which you can see by the videos and pictures that Sally posts, highly recommend Sally she made us feel comfortable and at ease with leaving our puppy for the first time ! Thank you Sally
Alison Sullivan 29th July 2018
Ali and I first bumped into Sally at Shepherd Meadow. She was walking three dogs and we were impressed with the way she patiently controlled them. Having watched for a few minutes I asked her if she boarded dogs and cats. Sally told us that she did board dogs but only did house visits as far as cats were concerned. We asked for a business card and, some weeks later, contacted Sally to see if she would be able to look after Douggie (our working cocker spaniel) and his partner in crime Benjie (our manic Siamese / tabby cross). Fortunately for us Sally was able to look after them. By all accounts Douggie has had a brilliant week playing with his new doggie chums, going for walks in cool places and being made a fuss of by Sally. Benjie did his usual trick of disappearing all day but returned at night to eat his dinner. In summary, our cat and dog have been well looked after while we were away and Ali and I would be delighted if Sally can look after them the next time we are away. Thank you Sally.
Jeremy Flisher 23rd July 2018
Can’t recommend Sally highly enough. Ned has a fantastic time in his trips out and it’s lovely to see his daily adventures on the site. Thank you for taking such good care of Ned.
Stephen James 27th June 2018
We are very pleased to recommend Sally Pigott of Happy Dogz and Catz.
Sally looked after all our cats while we away. One of them, William, is diabetic and so needed twice daily injections / blood glucose monitoring as well as feeding and fuss! Sally took very detailed notes to make sure that William was very well looked after and dealt with everything very thoroughly and professionally.
We especially liked the Facebook updates on the cats.
Thank you again Sally.
Andrea Corr 12th June 2018
Biscuit had a great time with you. He has come back like a different dog, so calm and chilled. Thank you very much for having him x
Sarah Horsgood 1st June 2018
Our Vizsla has stayed with Sally a number of times now and she loves it. It’s nice to know that when you are on holiday your dog is in safe hands with somebody you can trust. We wouldn’t send her anywhere else now. I would highly recommend Happy Dogz and Catz to anyone.
Ross Lagden 30th May 2018
Sally provides an excellent service – her calm nature coupled with her clear love for dogs means I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending her, more to the point booking her dog boarding services again.
Charlotte Emma Gouldsmith-Leigh 9th May 2018
Really happy with Sally! Millie is a sensitive soul with some very strange traits but She took to Sally from day one and thoroughly enjoys her walks and swims
Katrina Marsden Payne 8th May 2018
Really good I think our dog Buster did not want to leave when we arrived to pick him up recommend them highly
George Wakefield 23rd April 2018
Our staffy cross Buster stayed with Sally on Saturday, I think he had a great time as since he’s been home all he has done is chill and sleep. Thank you so much for having him.
Wendie Wakefield 23rd April 2018
Fantastic dog day boarding service. Would highly recommend.
