Looked after loved Animals for 50 years

Pet care experience

I've looked after and loved dogs and indeed all animals since I was a 10 year boy in North London. I now live in a large bungalow in Dorset England. I have a large very secure garden and access to lovely countryside walks round the New Forest. I would love to share my environment with some furry friends and look forward to meeting your animals

David came to look after our pug, General Custer, at our house. The General says 'thank you for looking after me so well - I hope I will see you again'. Thank you for sending us updates, which we really appreciated, especially as it was our first time booking a rover.com dogsitter.
