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!

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.

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.

Extremely pleased with how David looked after Ted, our dog, whilst we were away. He was treated like one of the family and made so welcome; it was comforting to leave him in such a friendly environment. Received lots of reassuring photos and videos while we were away, which were so lovely to see. Will have no hesitation in trying to book with David again.

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.

No females in heat
Takes only one pet owner at a time
David can host up to 1 pet per night
Let me know if your dog has any special needs to cater for. You’ll bring their own bed to help make them feel more at home. Although I’ve set out that I’ll just look after one dog, I would consider more than one from the same household.
