A true dog loving, home from home for your pups!

Pet care experience

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.

This is the third time we’ve left Saffi with David. Would always be my first choice of dog sitter. Saffi doesn’t want to come home at the end of the booking - think she’d be happy to move in permanently! We’ve got a week away in May and it’s so reassuring to know that Saffi is going to be well cared for and that I don’t need to worry about her while I’m away. Would highly recommend.

Would 109% recommend David. Should I need anyone to care for Maisie again it will definitely be David. I was very worried leaving Maisie with all her medical conditions especiallyas going abroad. David sent regular updates and photos helping me relax knowing that she was being well cared for. He ensured all her medication was given, made sure she only had her special food and let her snuggle up on the sofa, her favorite place. He has provided her with everything I could ask for and more. An excellent dog carer.

Daisy was very happy staying with David who is very caring and thoughtful. We appreciated the earlier introductory meeting which gave us confidence that Daisy would be safe and cared for. The pictures that David sent to us during her stay showed how relaxed and happy she was which was really valuable in helping us to feel confident that she was in a good place. We would not hesitate in recommending David as his service is excellent and we will certainly ask him to look after our precious Daisy in the future. Thank you so much 🙂

Information David W. would like to know about your pet

Dogs that are good with kids and non aggressive with other dogs are ideal. Also it’s important to have all up to date jabs, flea and worm treatments up to date.

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!
