Pet care experience

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!

Colin and family clearly had lots of experience handling dogs. My dog had a fantastic few days with them. They gave clear communication pre stay and during my dogs stay, they provided a safe and loving home, great outdoor space and took on board my dogs likes and dislikes and usual routine. My dog was clearly well looked after, when I collected her she was very happy. I hope to use Colin again for future stays.

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.
