Safety, trust & environment

I live right next to Glebelands Park in Newport, which is my go-to spot for daily walks — I usually take dogs there in the morning and evening. There’s also Turner Street Park nearby, plus a large grassy area right outside my flat for quick playtime or bathroom breaks. My car has a spacious boot, so on weekends I love taking dogs on longer, more exciting adventures to different parks and trails.

Dave W.'s Neighborhood

Young professional & dog lover!

Pet care experience

I’ve looked after many dogs for friends and family, including my parents’ German Shepherd, working Cocker Spaniel, and Jack Russell. I have experience with both small and large breeds and enjoy adapting to each dog’s needs — from energetic playtime to gentle care for older pups. I can’t have my own dog at the moment because I sometimes travel for work, so caring for other people’s pets is something I genuinely love and take seriously.

Great service from Dave start to finish! He was very accommodating with dates/times of our booking as it was a last minute request. Communication was great and we had lots of photos to keep us updated on how Walter was getting on. Would 100% recommend and use him again.

Couldnt have wished for a better dog sitter. Dave made my dogs feel right at home , kept in touch , we new the dogs were in safe hands, we know now if we have to leave the dogs again Dave will be our first protocol.

Took great care of Oaka while we were away and was very friendly. Provided picture updates, which was lovely. Will definitely be asking Dave to look after her again 😊

This was the first time we left Bingo with Dave for 5 days. Dave kept me updated daily which was reassuring because Bingo wasn’t feeling well when I dropped him off. I can clearly see Bingo was well looked after & I would 100% recommend Dave & I will use him in the future. Thanks Dave!
