Highlights
Pet care experience
Pugs n Pals
From the age of 16 I helped out my sister walk her dog and help look after him when she was at work or went on holiday he would live at our family home until they were back. My partner has had dogs around her all her life so has always been used to looking after them. We did look after dogs prior to COVID aswell as we were wanting to get into a routine before we got our own. We’ve now had our pug Kovu for 6 years and wouldn’t change any of it for anything

Ratings and reviews
Great service from Declan, easy to contact, very accommodating, lovely family who clearly love dogs, lots of pictures sent during the boarding, would happily book again!
Our pugs Jack and Victor absolutely love Declan and his family. It was their third time with them. They are very well looked after and especially they have plenty of fun. They are best friends with their pug Kovu and can’t wait to spend their next holiday with him all over again.
Declan has had Hugo on 2 separate occasions now and it certainly won’t be his last! Hugo has the best time and is so well looked after, Declan provides updates and photos throughout Hugo’s stay which puts our minds at ease that he’s in good hands! 😊
Id give 10 stars if I could. After becoming unwell and stuck declans family was able to take my wee guy for a week last minute and was given updates videos and pictures daily that kept me going though think my boy exhausted the other dogs. Just got him home and can't thank this family enough. Would HIGHLY recommend and a huge thank you again it's meant a lot knowing he was well cared for 😊
Jack and Victor had an amazing time with Declan and his family. It’s their second time with them. They ve been given so much attention and love, they will definitely be going back next time again.
Declan, Steph and their lovely girls made Lily feel so at home that I was instantly put at ease leaving Lily for the first time ever. She was with them for a week and they regularly sent photos and updates so that I knew she was settling and eventually eating. Steph even fed Lily by hand so that she would relax. They were so flexible with drop off/pick up times that resulted in less stress. I would highly recommend this sitter and if I need Lily looked after again I would not hesitate to contact Declan again.

Schedule
Me and my partner both work full time and we have 2 girls who absolutely adore Kovu and every other dog they come across they believe should be coming home with them aswell. I am out the house from 07:00-15:30 and my partner 08:00-16:30 but we always make sure Kovu gets his routine walks and meals

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Kovu has a great little routine going which keeps him as happy as can be. I take him his first morning walk around 06:00 then back for his breakfast before I head to work and my partner lets him around the garden again roughly about 07:45 just for another trot around the garden and a couple of treats. When I’m home from work with the girls I let him around the garden again and when my partner gets home from work we either go a family walk or I take him a walk myself. After the girls are down for the night I take Kovu another quick walk at about 8pm after his dinner and then before I go to bed just let him trot around the garden again and giving him some treats. Both of our gardens are fenced off with a 4ft fence at the front and a 6ft fence around the back. Our girls are also not short in trying to play with kovu but sometimes he just enjoys hiding out their way when he is too tired
Pets
A typical day
We just like to go walks as a family to be honest. Kovu isn’t really a typical dog who likes to play fetch or play with a ball but we have taken care of family members dogs who have enjoyed the odd day at the beach or down the park to play with the ball
