House Sitting • Aug 06, 2026

David and Melanie looked after our two dogs in our home for two and a half weeks, and we couldn't have been happier with the care they provided. They kept us updated throughout our trip with regular photos and messages, which gave us real peace of mind. Our German Wirehaired Pointer is a real handful, but David handled him brilliantly with confidence and patience. When we returned, both dogs were happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. As an added bonus, the house was absolutely immaculate. We would highly recommend David and Melanie to anyone looking for trustworthy, caring, and reliable pet sitters, and we wouldn't hesitate to have them look after our dogs again.

David and Mel looked after Tayto overnight. They kindly came to meet us in advance and asked lots of good questions so we felt reassured about her going to stay with them. They sent lots of photos and videos and communication was great.

Dog Walking • Jul 06, 2026

David and Melanie walked our two Lakeland Terriers for a week whilst we were away and honestly could not be happier with the outcome. David communicated extremely well during our absence sending pics and videos during the walks. David & Mel both kindly came over for a meet & greet with us all before we booked and took time to get to know the dogs. As the weather was quite warm it was kind of David to take water with him for the dogs too. It was clear to see on the videos how happy the dogs were in their company too 🥰 would not hesitate to book David again and to recommend to our dog owning friends in the area too. Thank you - we really appreciate the care and attention you gave. Best wishes. Mike

David has looked after my two Border Terriers several times, and they absolutely love him. Otis (2 years old) can be a trouble maker and tends to get anxious around new people and other dogs, but David handled him brilliantly. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him!

David is a very trustworthy and hardworking man, that loves animals of all types and whenever I have been out with him he always seems to find a dog to play with. Lovely and polite person

Schedule

I work on a 4 on 4 off rotation, which gives me plenty of time to enjoy long walks across the downs on my days off. Perfect for tiring out energetic pups! That said, I know not every dog needs or loves a long walk so I’m flexible, my late dog rarely lasted more than 10 minutes, bless her.
