Pet care experience
💙A loving home for your pet to stay💙
Hi! I'm a lifelong dog lover with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I've had dogs all my life and truly understand how important it is to find someone you trust to look after your furry family member. I currently live with my friendly and sociable German Pointer, Obi, who absolutely loves the company of other dogs. Together, we enjoy regular long walks (or short, depending on need) and plenty of playtime. We're lucky to live in a beautiful part of Bournemouth, surrounded by dog-friendly parks, coastal paths, and woodland trails—perfect for keeping dogs happy, active, and well-stimulated. Whether your dog enjoys long adventurous walks or just cuddles and companionship at home, I can cater to their needs and routines. I provide a safe, loving, and calm environment where your dog will feel right at home. You can expect regular updates, photos, and peace of mind knowing your pup is in caring, experienced hands. We’re looking forward to meeting your 4 legged friend!

Ratings and reviews
Calvin has been so lovely and communicative and Yuzu seemed super happy with him. Would definitely work with him again
My dog Mochi loved his stay with Calvin. Very easy to arrange and good updates - thank you again
We are so pleased of having Duchess sat with Calvin. He was great with her, attentive and proactive. Had no issues communicating with him and all instructions were followed as we discussed. We truly recommend him and looking forward to next holiday when we will be using his services.
Our elderly dog Freddy stayed with Calvin for the first time. We had good communication throughout and Calvin seems to be a very caring person who loves dogs. We would definitely use him again.
We had such a great experience with Calvin looking after Bronson. From the start, he made us feel completely at ease about leaving him in his care. Throughout the stay, Calvin kept us updated with lots of photos and videos, which was really reassuring and lovely to see. It was clear Bronson was very happy and well looked after, and we especially loved that he got on so well with Obi too! It’s always a bonus knowing your dog has made a new friend. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Calvin and would definitely book with him again in the future. Thank you so much!
Great care for Bailey and lots of interesting walks.

Schedule
I work from home for my main job so am always around. When I am available caring for your pet will be my priority and you have every assurance they will be safe, happy and well looked after.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have a large fenced garden that is secure. No escapees on my watch! When your dog stays with me, they’ll be treated like part of the family. Dogs have full access to my home and are welcome on the sofa (unless you prefer otherwise!). I stick closely to your dog’s usual routine to ensure they feel secure and settled. Walks are a big part of our day – I live in a beautiful part of Bournemouth with access to parks, woodlands, and coastal paths/beaches, so there’s no shortage of exciting places to explore. My own dog, Obi (a friendly German Pointer), is great with other dogs and loves the company. I’m happy to cater to any special needs – whether it’s administering medication, feeding a special diet, or giving extra cuddles to nervous pups.
Pets
A typical day
Several walks. Good food and treats (if allowed) and lots of fun. We go on varied walks in the local area whether it be the forest, fields or beach. We try to involve rabbits and squirrels!
