Pet care experience

We are dog lovers with a great home

We are a semi retired couple and our beloved black Labrador left us a few years ago. We love dogs and have the time to provide a temporary home - all dogs welcome. We have a big detached house with a secure garden. Our friends all have dogs and regularly call on us to dog sit.

Gareth and Carrie are friendly and welcomed Eddie into their home for his first stay with them. They updated us with photos and we felt very comfortable that Eddie was being well cared for. He came home shattered! Many thanks!

Gareth has looked after our dog Baloo many times. Baloo loves him. He ensures Baloo has all he needs met: Love, Water, Food and Exercise. Gareth shows patience, kindness and is a caring person. We trust Gareth to look after Baloo and we hold him in high regard.

Schedule

We are both mainly retired so have plenty of time on our hands to look after a dog (our adult kids are also dog lovers and would probably come home just to help out. We don’t really have a fixed routine so can provide flexibility if we are around. We are however on holiday a lot so can’t always be always be available.
