Me and my wife Katy are a dog-loving family with real, hands-on experience — not just with easy dogs. Our beagle Oscar (12) has been with us for 6 years. He's a committed food thief, so we're well used to keeping counters, bins, and pockets secure, and he's trained in sit, down, stand, leave it, recall, and roll over. Our husky Amber (4) has been with us for 3 years — she's an attention seeker, but that doesn't faze us; we know dogs like her just need someone happy to give them the engagement they're after. We usually walk our own dogs at lunchtime and after tea, but we're happy to adapt to whatever routine suits your dog best — whether that's their usual feeding times, walk schedule, or any specific habits they're used to. Both our own dogs are on specific food regimes, so we're used to weighing out meals precisely and giving supplements on schedule — it's something we look for in other carers too, so you can trust us to follow your instructions diligently, right down to the last gram. We also have a 6ft fenced garden for safe off-lead time.
