Pet care experience
Hi. Our names are Luke and Alex and we've recently moved from Malvern to Maidstone. I'm 32 and he's 27. Our jobs allow us a lot of time at home meaning there is always one of us around! We have 2 dog's. A soppy calm and loving lurcher called Pogo who enjoys sleeping on the sofa, sleeping anywhere, cuddles and long walks. And a loveable rouge of a greyhound hector who loves to play but is just as happy curled up in an armchair. We have multiple years of experience looking after animals professionally. But have both had animals our entire life :) Were huge animal lovers and being in maidstone are surrounded by perfect walking places. The commons, the fields, the hills etc. We also love fusses and cuddles with animals :) We offer dog walking, dog boarding and dog sitting. But would also be open to looking after little furries as well. Dog walks would be tailored to each dog, they can either go out for long walks (1hour plus) or shorter walks of around 30 minutes depending on energy levels. There are plenty places nearby to walk the dogs, the commons, fields, or if they are happy in cars I am happy to taken them to the local woods for a nice long and shady walk. My car is of a reasonable size and can comfortably fit a greyhound, lurcher and staffie! So there shouldn't be a problem. I also have seat belt restraints and harnesses to keep them safe. I work part time and Alex works predominantly from home meaning there is always one of us home. We fit pet care into our everyday life. We have a fenced garden that is fully secure (our Hector has tried and tested it!) Our house has ample space for the dogs to either spend time with one of us or to have some time on their own. We have space for crates if they are crate trained and a dog bed in Nearly every room!
Reviews
Charlie loved his two week stay with Alex and Luke. Many thanks and will recommend to others. He looks forward to another stay early next year.
Charlie had a great time with Alex and Luke.
We couldn't recommend Alex and Luke enough after they looked after Maverick for 2 weeks recently. Initially we were really anxious about leaving Maverick for such a long time, however throughout the process Alex has been excellent, meeting us for an introductory walk, then building up to afternoon, an weekend before the 2 week break. In all these times he's been excellent with Maverick and cared for him as if his own. During the 2 weeks, Maverick celebrated his 1st birthday and we were really touched they threw him a birthday party - and there was even day trips to Paws in the Park during the break. During our time away we got regular updates and photos which was really reassuring. As well as Alex and Luke Maverick also got on well with their 2 dogs who are calm and dealt well with Mavericks desire to constantly play. We'd really recommend Alex and will certainly be using him again.
Harley settled well with Alex and Luke On her return home she settled quickly Will definitely be placing Harley again

We have a completely secure back garden as Hector has tried to escape. We follow the routine you have for your pet so there is minimal disruption
Home
Information Alex D. would like to know about your pet
It's always helpful for us to know a few things before we look after your animals. Such as any foods they can't eat, (Most of our treats are natural and grain free) as we don't want to give your dog an upset stomach. Their normal daily routine, so we can fit around it as much as possible. Any recent injuries or medical queries we should know about. And whether or not you allow your pooch on the furniture or not.
A typical day
We base our day around your fur babies, be it an early morning walk where we wear them out (and us!) Or a lie in and lots of cuddles. Providing your pooch is happy travelling in the car we like to visit various country parks and beaches. If your dog is less fond of travelling we have plenty of great places to visit within walking distance.
