Dog loving couple in Hitchin

Pet care experience

I’ve had pets since I can remember and have always had a dog in the family home. My partner Declan and I are the go-to dog sitters for our friends and families, looking after dogs of all shapes and sizes from cuddly cockapoos to energetic springer spaniels! My family dog was a rescue and so I’m familiar dealing with dogs who are anxious on the lead/need a little more care than some others. We live in an apartment and are unable to get our own permanent dog just yet, but love taking care of other people’s to fill the puppy shaped hole! As we are in an apartment however we’re unable to take on any pets that aren’t fully toilet trained. We understand the value of routine and love to take care of every dog as though they were our own, with long walks both in town and through the surrounding countryside. Your dog will feel safe and at home with us, and you’ll get regular pup-dates so you can be sure they’re enjoying their stay!

Alex and Declan have looked after our two spaniels several times now. The dogs (very energetic rescue Bretons) absolutely love their time with them. Both Alex and Declan are very practical and conscientious, leave the house as spotless as they find it, and are just generally a really nice couple. We would not hesitate to recommend them as pet/house sitters.
