Pet care experience

I cannot imagine life without pets

No matter the age, size or breed of dogs, all they would like is to be loved and cared for. A dog doesn’t deserve to be locked away for hours on end in solitary confinement, a pack animal needs to have company and be stimulated, I can care for your dog in my own home in a family environment.

Archie received a 5* service from David. I would not hesitate in recommending him to all. Thank you for looking after our little fella. Warmest regards, Kevin.

Ned had a wonderful stay with David. We received regular updates and photographs while we were away. David has the perfect setting for doggy stays with a large secure garden and plenty of lovely walks nearby. Ned had such a great stay, that we’ve already booked again for our next holiday!!!

David was excellent. Our buddy stayed for a week and settled in well. He was treated very well first class stay in a nice house with space to explore and great company. I was sent photos and video clips to show how much Buddy enjoyed his stay. Great communication and Buddy did not want to leave ! Thank you again highly recommended.

David was an excellent choice to look after Zac and we would definitely recommend him. Zac is a Harrier hound and needs a lot of exercise and a decent size garden to roam in, David provided both of these. He kept in touch sending us text updates and photos and videos so we were reassured that Zac was okay. Zac has been having some skin problems recently and when these got worse David ordered a shampoo and bathed him twice (not an easy job) to help with these - definitely above and beyond what we expected. When we got home Zac settled back in with minimum sulking which is how I know how happy Zac was with his boarding. Zac was happy.

David and Zoe were amazing with our 2 dogs. Lovely quiet area with 2 large gardens for our labrador and dalmatian to enjoy. I has very happy and relaxed to leave my dogs with David and Zoe. I was sent updates and both dogs were very happy on collection, think the dalmatian wanted to stay with them! Definitely recommend using David and will certainly use them again in the future. Thanks again

Safety, trust & environment
