David looked after our nervous red Labrador Heidi and our two cats Bert and Zeus for a week. He was very friendly and amenable and our pets were all calm and contented on our return and the house was in good order Would recommend David as a caring carer.

We had such a great holiday and having David stay with our dog made it extra great! We could tell right away from meeting him before we left that he was exactly the type of person we wanted to stay at our home and look after our dog Gibson. It can a bit of a nervous experience leaving your home and pet with someone, but you will have zero worries with David at the helm! He's responsible, reliable and had an affinity with our dog. He even kept my squirrel snack jar topped up for my little garden buddies. The house was well looked after and looked like it did when we left. We appreciate him so much and will for sure book him again. Amazing person! Thank you so much David!

David was fabulous with Ozzy, very patient and caring, spoilt him rotten. Never left Ozzy on his own for too long, which was great as Ozzy loves company. He kept Ozzy in his routine which was perfect. Highly recommend David to anyone.

David looked after our spaniel and elderly cat for 10 days. He did exactly that! Doug (spaniel) bonded well with David, he was even allowed to sleep with him (as he does us). Our elderly cat Millie is a rather solitary and shy soul however seemed perfectly herself when we returned home. I would recommend David to look after your pets, he even watered the plants for us. Thanks David and we hope you enjoyed your stay with our pets. June & Mark 🐾🐾🐾🐾
