Highlights
Pet care experience
A true dog loving, home from home for your pups!
Having owned and worked with dogs my whole life we love meeting new dogs and seeing the pups come back again and again! For many years I volunteered with the retired greyhound trust fostering dogs to get them ready for their forever home. That experience has helped me to become happy with and appreciate all personalities of dog. Here your dog will be treated as one of the family and get lots of walks and cuddles, or space I’m led by you on your dog! Photos of your dogs day will be sent so you can relax and be sure your pet is safe and sound. With access to the garden all day, with the lickey hills and local parks on my doorstep for walks. Any medication or allergies will be carefully looked after. Specific feeding needs all taken care off. I know we can help your dog have a happy stay! Between myself and my partner who does shift work there is always someone home to supervise and care for your pet, and extra effort is put in when boarding so that your pet will have company, play, walks and plenty of fuss! Access to the garden is nearly all day (save trips to shops etc) Walks and food are given after finding out your dogs usual routine and their own bed to keep them as comfortable as if they were home. My garden is medium sized, grassy and fenced. So no escapes! Child safety gates on stairs for dogs that need them, I allow dogs on sofas, only if the owner allows it. Dogs have free roam of the house and access to the garden at all times.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Thank you for taking such good care of my baby and sending photos to reassure me
David was a great sitter. Bill came back content and relaxed. David kept me updated with some photos and was very warm, friendly, and professional throughout the process.
David was brilliant. Really helpful and kept us updated with pics. Ralph had clearly had a brilliant time and fell asleep as soon as he got home
I booked David to look after Holly while I was on holiday and he honestly exceeded my expectations. He has a calm, warm energy that Holly reacted to immediately, which surprised me, because she’s usually quite sensitive with new people. I really appreciated the little updates he sent, not just photos and videos but small notes about how she was doing. He was also very easy to communicate with, relaxed, organised and flexible. Thank you David for treating Holly with such care!
Herbie had a brilliant time staying with David. It was easy to tell he was in very good hands: safe, reliable, caring and knowledgeable. David sent me regular updates and photos and kept Herbie fed, walked and entertained. Would definitely book David again.
Finlay LOVES David and his partner. Always has a great time and comes home happy. Definitely recommend!

Schedule
With Working remotely from home, and my partner doing part time shift work we are able to give bundles of time to our furry friends! I only have 2 dogs maximum at any time and always from the same family. This enables me to give full attention to each dog!
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
When boarding at my home I walk, feed, play and take care of each dog on a one to one basis being led by each owner on the needs of each individual dog. Photo updates sent daily to give peace of mind.
A typical day
Each dog is different so I take my lead from you on how much exercise your pet will need, for walks we have local parks and the lickey hills are a favourite with plenty of nice places to walk close by. Play with your pup is important as each dog is unique again I take my lead from you!
