Highlights
Pet care experience
Relaxed family on the edge of Sheppys Orchards
We have both grown up with various pets and sadly we have recently lost our 14 year old springer spaniel “Harley”. There is now a hole in our lives and we would LOVE to fill that hole by helping to care, walk, visit or look after your 4 legged family member when needed. We have recently moved to the countryside and now have the benefit of acres and acres of sheppy orchards in our backyard we would love to take advantage of this and hope your pet would enjoy the surroundings. We are a flexible couple with a laid back lifestyle with plenty of time to spend with your best friend. Please contact us with any requests and we would be happy to see how we can help!

Ratings and reviews
Colin and Mel were wonderful in welcoming Wilf into their home for his first stay and he settled in straight away. He was included in family life and was just like home from home, they kept me updated and nothing was too much trouble including sorting out his food when my supplies ran out. Wilf will be very happy to stay again and is already booked in for June. Thank you Colin and Mel for allowing him to be part of your family and taking such good care of our boy.
Colin and Mel are lovely, we felt Gus was in very kind, caring hands. Would definitely ask Colin again. Thank you😊
Dogs were really happy and came back well and full of beans.
Colin and Mel were fantastic with all 4 off our dogs we can't thank them enough,they all came back happy and content Colin kept us updated with photos while we were away and we felt relaxed knowing they were in good hands We will definitely use them again 🐶
Colin and his family accommodated my two dogs, one geriatric and one four months. Colin was happy to put some time in before leaving them with a meet and greet first with me and then with the dogs. I was confident that Colin has a good knowledge of dog ownership. On collection, both dogs looked very well cared for and relaxed and happy. I am very grateful to Colin, and his family.
Colin looked after our 3 dogs while we got married, they took really good care of them and are so accommodating. We highly recommend Colin. Thank you so much for taking care of our dogs.

Schedule
I work from home, so your pet will be accompanied all day and be taken out 2-3 times a day depending on the energy levels.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
All dogs are treated as if they were our own, so they it will be a home from home experience, from relaxing on the sofa to their evening routine we try to match what they are used to.
A typical day
Having Sheppys orchards as our extended back garden, we would offer daily exercise around the vast acres offered. We also benefit from some beautiful country walks that your pet would absolutely love
