Pet care experience

A dog and cat lover who loves walks

I understand that caring for animals means exercise and interaction, as well as a feeling of security. I can promise all three at my Maidstone home.

Gareth looked after our 8 year GSD for 10 days, and I would thoroughly recommend him. Gareth's communication and response time were excellent, he looked after Martha beautifully and she was clearly very happy there. He sent pictures and updates throughout the time and made everything very easy, I was completely at ease leaving Martha with him.

Schedule

I have a hybrid role, meaning I'm typically at home three days a week. My wife works part-time hours and returns home around 2pm each day. We have two sons, one is away at uni, the other is going into Year 11. However, the only people in my home who will be caring for animal visitors will be myself with assistance from my wife Dorota.
