Pet care experience
Belly-rub & ball thrower! 🐾
Hi there! I'm a genuine dog lover who believes every walk should be fun, safe, and tailored to your dog's personality. Whether your pup loves long adventures, endless sniffing opportunities, or a gentle stroll, I'll make sure they get the exercise, attention, and affection they deserve. Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, and I currently have three of my own—two that I've raised from puppies and are now 6 years old. I also have a wonderful rescue from a puppy farm, who I took on three years ago when she needed lots of care, patience, and encouragement. She's now a happy and thriving 12-year-old lady, and the experience has taught me so much about understanding dogs of all ages, backgrounds, and temperaments. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your dog, so I'll treat your furry friend as if they were one of my own, keeping you updated with photos and messages along the way. 🐶❤️

Ratings and reviews
David and his lovely wife, Angela, took Bobby into their home and treated him like one of their own. We met up the week before to ensure everyone got on prior to his stay. The signs were good! During his stay, he was walked, fed, taken swimming, cwtched, loved and his medication administered. He seemed truly happy. David listened carefully to Bobby's new food regime he was transitioning to and also ensured his dry eye treatment was continued in our absence. Dogs don't follow your holiday plans but David and Angela stepped up to cover what was needed. Their three gorgeous Cocker Spaniels took Bobby into their home and welcomed him to the pack. I would be more than happy to place Bobby back into their care and, also of importance, David and Angela say they would be happy to welcome him back. He was a poor, sickly pup rescued from a farm with many health problems when we took him in 8 years ago, but he has grown into a loving, trusting and sociable dog who loves his new Spaniel friends. Thank you David and Angela for your care and kindness to Bobby and for taking him into your home. The updates, photos and videos whilst we were away were fantastic. 🥰🐶
Wini had the best time with David and is wife, she was looked after like one of their own you, she was spoiled rotten and loved every minute of her stay. I highly recommend them and will definitely be using them again.
David was great, speedy responses, lots of updates and in a good location for our trip West. The most important part is that he clearly cares- Gary has been spoilt rotten this weekend and will likely sleep for the next week. Diolch David
Both dogs seemed very happy with their stay with David. As were we. Will definitely be top of the list when we visit the area again.
I decided to try Dave as he was recommended to me by a friend. I have a 6 year old Cockapoo who up until she was 5 had only spent a few nights at a time away from me staying with a family member. Being a lock down puppy she is very wary of new people but I knew Dave had rehomed an ex breeding bitch from Many Tears so he understood it would take a while for Ruby to warm to him. We built the visits up gradually and now she pulls me to his door runs in and having jumped up at him for strokes jumps straight up on the sofa and doesn’t give me a second glance. She is clearly very happy there and Dave keeps me updated with photos/videos of their walks or just chilling etc throughout her stay which is great. I would highly recommend Dave
The love and level of care that Dave will give your dog knows no bounds. They will be treated like royalty and given the highest standards of care. Reliable, kind, caring and going the extra mile is second nature to Dave when it comes to our four legged family members. I would have no hesitation in recommending him and his services, your pooch will be treated like royalty.

Schedule
I am retired and am passionate about my dogs making sure they have at least one beach walk a day whatever the weather! If the weather is hot I get up at 4.30 ish so I can walk them in the relative cool. Second walks tend to be woodland with rivers as they do like to swim!

I have a fenced garden and three friendly cocker spaniels to keep any visitors company. I go out with the dogs in the garden to keep them company.

A typical day
A typical day starts with cuddles and breakfast followed by walkies, then back home for a brush and yet more cuddles! Rest time next, for the dogs that is, then before tea a shorter walk.
- 0 to 7 kg7 to 18 kgNo females in heatDavid can host up to 2 pets per night
- It would be ideal if I could have some information on your dogs including walks and recall, type of treats, where they like to sleep! A picture would also be nice to have.
