Your Dog will be treated just like family.

Pet care experience

I grew up with dogs as my dad worked at Battersea Dogs home when I was a teenager. I started to look after friends & family dogs around 25 years ago. Then started to walk & train dogs & now as I’m semi retired I have the opportunity to board your beloved pet in a calm surroundings. Fully insured.

Darren looked after my beloved Benji for almost three weeks, as Darren will know I was very nervous leaving Benji but I had nothing to worry about, I couldn't of asked for anything more, Darren was absoutely brilliant with Benji, I got lots of updates and video's whilst we were away and when I got home and picked Benji up he was really happy, I knew he had, had a fab holiday himself. I would highly recommend Darren, he is extremely knowledgeable abouts dogs, he provides alovely environment for your dog, it truly is a home from home experience which is exactly what I was looking for. I will defintely be using Darren for all future holiday etc. Thank you Darren

I am so glad we managed to find Darren to look after Kobe . Kobe has enjoyed the long walks, playing fetch and socialising with other dogs. Kobe has had the best time and is back home as a better behaved dog Thanks to Darren. I will be leaving Kobe with Darren when on holiday in future. I highly recommend Darren as he has been great with our dog.

Thank you Daren for taking such good care of our 1year old pug for 9 nights. He clearly loved his time with you and actually looks much healthier than when he arrived. Hopefully we can continue your good work with Frank. I can’t recommend Daren highly enough, every care was taken to ensure Frank was safe and happy. Will rebook in a heartbeat. Thank you

Darren had Maui for 10 days whilst we was on our summer holiday. He kept us informed of how Maui was regularly and also carried out some obedience training with him (lead walking, recall, and also started teaching him to fetch) upon picking Maui up 10 days later although he was excited to see us he was a lot calmer on greeting and seemed to listen a lot better. Whilst Maui was staying with Darren he had a ear issue which Darren took care of by buying some anti bacterial powder this showing the care he provides for our pets whilst in his care. Darren will be the first person I ask to have Maui for any future holiday or periods away from home.
