Highlights
Pet care experience
From Cavapoos to Ridgebacks
We have looked after dogs of all sizes, from small breeds like Cavapoos to large, strong dogs like Rhodesian Ridgebacks. I’m confident handling different temperaments, energy levels, and needs — whether that’s relaxed companionship, regular walks, or more active play. We’re comfortable with feeding routines, basic training reinforcement, and making sure dogs feel safe and settled in their environment. I treat every dog like my own and always aim to give them proper attention, structure, and care.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Ramsay and Jackson love Craig and his wife. They had the best time ever and Ramsay fell in love with their little doggy. The dogs can’t wait to go back. Highly recommend. Also super communicative.
Lovely sitter. He had the same dog as us. Sent lots of photos. Highly recommend.
★★★★★ We can’t recommend Craig highly enough! He took amazing care of our dog Mali. Being a 50kg Rhodesian Ridgeback, he can be harder to find a sitter for, but Craig was brilliant with him from start to finish. He kept us updated, clearly loves dogs, and Mali came home happy, relaxed, and well looked after. We’re so grateful to have found someone we can completely trust. We’ll definitely be booking with Craig again!
Craig has looked after my dog Buzz many times My dog absolutely loves him He does everything - from taking the puppy for hourly breaks to sending constant updates. I’ve used him many times at this point, for both short stays and holidays. I can’t recommend him enough.
I can't recommend Craig highly enough as a dog sitter. From the moment we met him, it was obvious that he genuinely loves dogs and understands how to make them feel comfortable and secure. We've used him to look after our dog Bailey a number of times and he is always happy to see Craig and sad to leave which gives us confidence that he has been well looked after. Giving us plenty of updates throughout the dog stays we're always aware of how our dog is going and what he is up to. With the recent heat he lets us know what accomodations be had made to make our dog as comfortable as possible during his stay. If you're looking for someone who will treat your dog like one of their own, Craig is an excellent choice. We'd happily leave our dog with him again and wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for a caring and dependable sitter.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
We provide a calm, safe, and structured environment where your dog will feel comfortable and well looked after. We’re confident handling dogs of all sizes and temperaments and always take the time to understand their needs, routines, and any specific instructions. Although we live in a flat, we have access to a large open field and nearby river, which is perfect for walks, exercise, and giving dogs plenty of space to explore safely. We prioritise safety at all times, whether that’s secure walks, feeding routines, or supervision at home. We’re also happy to crate if needed and will make sure your dog feels settled, secure, and properly cared for.

A typical day
We keep a good balance of exercise, stimulation, and downtime depending on your dog’s needs. We’ll go on structured walks, explore nearby parks, and make full use of a large open field and river area right by my home, giving dogs plenty of space to run, play, and explore safely. At home, it’s a calm environment where they can relax, with lots of attention, interaction, and supervision throughout the day.
