Become A Member Of Our Family 🐶🐈

As a lifelong dog lover, I'd be thrilled to invite your furry companion to join my family during your time away. Your dog will be treated as one of my own, receiving plenty of love, care, and attention. I have a deep passion for dogs and genuinely enjoy their company. Your dog will experience a perfect blend of fun and relaxation in my home. We'll embark on regular walks, enjoy playful moments, and share plenty of laughter and cuddles. I also love exploring nature, so we can go on long walks and hikes or visit local parks and hills together. I understand that every dog is unique, and I am happy to accommodate any special needs or requests your dog may have. Your pet's safety and well-being are my top priorities, and I take my responsibility as a caregiver very seriously. Rest assured, your furry friend will receive the utmost care and attention while staying with me. I am experienced, responsible, and dedicated to providing a loving and nurturing environment for all the dogs in my home. So, if you're looking for a trustworthy and passionate dog lover to care for your beloved companion, look no further. I am excited to meet your dog and provide them with a home away from home.

Erik and Railey did a fantastic meet and greet with us and Railey got on really well with our dog Nico during her check ins with him. Overall they are professional, friendly and approachable and I wouldn't hesitate to book them again. Thank you both!

Erik is great! Tuki has obviously loved having Erik around while I’ve been away. Erik shared photos of splendid walks and sitting on the sofa with him. Tuki would have been in his element. Thank you, Erik. It’s lovely to return to a happy dog!

Amazing as always! Pippin really enjoys his stay at Erik’s and I’m always kept up to date with what he’s been up to and how he’s getting on.

Erik and his wife provided a wonderful home for our dog and maintained her training/house rules that we have set for her. They updated us frequently as to how she was getting on and it was clear that she was very well looked after. We would happily ask them to look after our beloved dog anytime.

Safety, trust & environment

I understand that consistent care is essential for pets, and I strive to create a seamless transition when they stay with me. I maintain a structured routine that includes regular feeding, exercise, playtime, and any specific care requirements they may have. I prioritise their well-being and aim to create a safe and comfortable space for them throughout their stay. I can ensure I can give your dog the quality care they need without scheduling conflicts. This arrangement allows for a consistent routine and stress-free experience for you and your beloved canine companion. Please let me know if you have any questions or want to discuss further.

Pets

A typical day

I live by a large park, perfect for engaging and entertaining the dogs I watch. When it comes to fun activities, I believe in tailoring each experience to suit the individual needs and preferences of the dogs. Whether playing fetch or teaching them new tricks, I aim to keep the dogs active and mentally stimulated during their stay. Additionally, I know the importance of regular exercise and the joy dogs find in exploring new environments. In addition to the park near my home, I have discovered several other unique places ideal for walking. These may include scenic nature trails in nearby neighbourhoods. I always prioritize the safety and well-being of the dogs, ensuring that the locations are secure and suitable for their adventures. By incorporating various stimulating activities, I aim to provide an enjoyable and enriching experience for every furry friend in my care.
