Trust is majorly important

Alison & I have been together for 27 years and decided to take early retirement, travel around the UK taking in all the sites whilst carrying out sitting services. We are prepared to travel anywhere in the UK for stays of 10 days + and will undertake longer term sits if requested. Throughout our lives have had or looked after both working and utility dogs and understand the importance of keeping the regime that they are use to, Some of our clients have several dogs in one home that have different exercise and dietary requirements and we ensure that given instructions in regards to the what where and when are adhered to.

It is with reluctance that I write this testimonial as when you have really good people you can call upon you somewhat selfishly do not want to share them. Carl and Ali are a fabulous couple, trustworthy, honest, honourable and they absolutely adore dogs. We have known them for years and nothing is too much trouble for them, and for us it is a pleasure to leave our dogs in their care when we go away. Furthermore, when we get back the house is arguably in a better state than when we left it.

Carl and Alison have recently started dog sitting after taking early retirement from their respective jobs. They have had their own dogs over the years and have loved and cared for them. They are genuine dog lovers and responsible house sitters. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Carl and Alison.
