Couldn't have been happier with Bruce watching Otis. Great communication and sent lots of pics of him out on his walks. Very friendly and will be booking again 😊 Thank you!

Bruce housesat for us and took care of our little dachshund Sigmund for 6 days while we were travelling, and was just amazing. From start to end, he was just amazing - lovely, warm personality, very loving to animals and very knowledgeable as well. Our dog is a bit of a character and can be very reactive/aggressive with other dogs and strangers, but Bruce handled all of that in stride, trying various training techniques on walks and even got Sigi cuddling and playing with his own young dog. He has a great way with animals for sure and just hugely reliable and pleasant to deal with. Whilst we were gone he sent us loads of updates and videos/pics, and also took amazing care of our apartment. Hugely recommended!

Fabulous! Came home to happy dogs. All well in the house and the dogs have clearly been well cared for! Would absolutely use Bruce again! ?

Bruce is a natural with dogs, and our little Rusty loved him right away. He looked after him for us for a weekend, and when we returned, all his needs had been perfectly attended to. We will definitely be using Bruce whenever we go away again. He makes owners and dogs feel comfortable, and really cares and caters for your animal.

Bruce is so natural with my 10 year old Staffie, who can be a little nervous around other dogs from time to time. He’s patient with her when she’s having a bad day and his calm nature really helps her. I’ve seen massive improvements in her behaviour since Bruce has been walking and sitting her for me. Bruce keeps me updated with photos and videos of them exploring parks and trying new walks. I am always at ease when Bruce is taking care of her and cannot recommend him as a walker and sitter enough!

Schedule

I’m currently working part time from home and have time to look after more animals. Already I am out and about often with my own pup who is quite the adventurer. Happy to spend some time looking after more pets.

Pets

A typical day

I will always try to find a fun walk when I’m out with the dogs. Something that keeps them engaged and mixes it up from their usual routine (unless you’d prefer they stick to it) Happy to play fetch with sticks or balls, I’ve got a good throw and plenty of stamina.
