Pet care experience
Home from Home
I’ve owned dogs for the last 25 years. Sadly last year my awesome Buster passed away from leukaemia aged only 7. He was my best friend and home is just not the same. I have decided not to try and replace Buster but instead offer my home to look after other people’s bestie in the knowledge that they’re warm cosy walked and treated just like a member of the family - just while you’re away!

David and Joanne came to our rescue last minute and we are so grateful to have found them! They boarded our 11 month old (very energetic) golden retriever and he had the best time. They were extremely friendly and communicative, even accommodating a meet and greet with short notice which we really appreciated. We got loads of updates, so we could know and see what George was up to They made us feel so at ease and you can see they truly care for the dogs they sit. I would highly recommend them and have even booked again with them already! Thanks so much both of you. X
Apollo always loves his time at David's! Definitely his favourite sitter ever and ours too 😊
David and his family were fantastic and are well accustomed to caring for dogs. Our german short haired pointer, who can be very anxious, settled down in a very short space of time. Highly recommend.
Jasper was so well cared for. He settled sleeping well and enjoying his walks .I was kept well informed with photos
We would highly recommend David and Jo, they looked after our little one Winnie. They did an amazing job and were extremely accommodating to us as we had some problems getting back our end. We received regular updates and Winnie loved being there!
Thank you David and Jo for taking good care of our young border collie for four nights. It was lovely to receive photos and videos of him on walks and playing games etc. we hope to be able to use them again.

Schedule
My place of work is totally open and dog friendly with numerous dogs accompanying their owners daily. There are open fields to walk run and play in and plenty of attention to be lapped up!
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have a fully fenced garden but will be taking your bestie for several walks each day. Having seen on social media how upsetting it can be when a dog does escape, I will fit an air tag to your dogs collar just in case. They will sleep downstairs preferably in their own bed.
A typical day
Your dog will start the day with a good old sniff around the garden followed by a light stroll around the neighbourhood. Stopping off at one of several parks or woodland spaces nearby. They’ll spend most of the day keeping me company before an evening stroll followed by settling down with me to watch a movie or listen to some music. They’ll finish the day checking the garden is still intact before snuggling down in their bed.
