Information David S. would like to know about your pet

If youy dog needs any medication I can give it to them as long as it is oral only. We have a car if we need to take your dog out but we normally just walk from home.

A typical day

We normally go for a couple of short walks during the day or one long one to get coffee or lunch. We can play in the garden too and there is a lot of attention from a family of 5 with their friends and family etc.

Pet care experience

We had a very good fluffy dog called Pheonix, his blanket is still on the window sil but unfortunately he'd died a while back. His spirit and us would like to look after your precious pet. At weekends we often walk into town or to the beach. We have a park nearby were other dogs all meet, which has a separate area for kids too. We have a private dog tight garden that is big enough for dog and kids to run and play. We sometimes look after my sister's two dogs, they all get on great. My wife and I have 3 kids in a good size house for a busy family. My wife works 4 days a week and I work mainly from home so there is nearly always someone here , especially with three teenagers .

David and his partner took great care of our elderly blind dog for a couple of nights. We received updates on his progress and he seemed very chilled when we collected him. We are very happy to book with him again.

Bronson absolutely loves staying with David! The communication is always excellent, with regular updates and plenty of pictures that really put our minds at ease. It’s clear how much care and attention David gives because Bronson gets so excited the moment he realizes where he’s going! Thank you so much, for always going above and beyond. I couldn’t ask for a better sitter reliable, caring, and truly passionate about dogs. Highly recommended!
