Pet care experience
Caring For Pets Like Their Our Own
We’ve had dogs in our family all our lives and have had our own furry family member, Daphne, for the past four years. She’s a real bundle of energy, so we’re very used to keeping up with an active dog and adapting to different personalities and behaviours! We’ve been through dog training and behaviour courses ourselves and use the skills and techniques we’ve learned with Daphne every day. This has given us a good understanding of dog behaviour and how to provide calm, consistent and positive care. We also regularly look after dogs for friends and family and have done so for many years, so we’re very comfortable welcoming other dogs into our home, taking them on walks and helping them settle into a new environment. Most importantly, we treat every dog in our care like one of our own — with plenty of love, attention, patience and, of course, lots of walks and cuddles!

Ratings and reviews
Darrel has been caring and walking my fur baby since he was a wee babi and I have to give him 5stars +. He’s professional, calm and like a second daddy to my cooper. If you want someone to treat your dog like he birth it himself look no further.

Schedule
I work from home, which means I have plenty of time throughout the day to give your dog the care, attention and playtime they deserve. Our days include morning, lunchtime and evening walks, along with a few sessions of training games and enrichment throughout the day. Your dog will be treated just like one of our own and will be welcomed into our usual routine, helping them feel settled, comfortable and at home. Of course, I’m more than happy to adapt their routine to match what they’re used to or what you feel works best for them.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
We’ll care for your pet as if they were one of our own. We absolutely adore our dog, so you can rest assured that your pet will receive the same love, attention and care that we give to ours. Our outdoor area is fully fenced and secured with a locked gate, giving your pet a safe and secure space to enjoy some fresh air. Our home is pet-friendly and set up with your dog’s safety in mind, with anything potentially harmful kept safely out of reach. We also have a Ring doorbell camera for additional security around the outside of the property. I’m usually always within sight or close by to our own dog, and I’ll provide the same level of supervision and attention to your pet. We want every dog staying with us to feel comfortable, relaxed and part of the family. For overnight stays, we’re more than happy to provide plenty of cuddles and even a spot on the bed if that’s what your dog is used to! If we have multiple dogs staying with us, we have a spacious, secure kitchen area where they can settle comfortably together, with our own pup to keep them company. We also have dog cameras set up in the kitchen so we can keep an eye on everyone when needed.
