Our Whole Family Dog-Sits Together!

Pet care experience

We're a husband and wife with two happy teenagers who absolutely love dogs and are the ones our friends and neighbors always ask to babysit when they go away! We're all very laid back, and very experienced when it comes to pet care. Jeff and Grahame grew up with dogs (Grahame's family raised collies and Australian cattle dogs), and we've always had dogs in our home with our children, ages 15 and 17. We live and work in Manchester and our hours are all slightly different which allows us to give your dog full attention on a very flexible schedule 7 days a week. We have a fenced in yard, a great neighborhood for walks, and everyone's welcome on the couch in our house! In addition to our beloved dachshund-beagle cross, Pappie, and our collie, Mister, we have five cats and even a few birds for your dog to meet, all of whom are very well socialized. We believe in snuggles, brushes, playing ball and cuddles and will spoil your baby like we do our own!

What a wonderful home/family to leave your own precious pet with. Our dog had a wonderful time both times we left him here. Graham and her family gave our dog, Willie , lots of love, exercise and attention. They communicated with us to ensure us all was going well and to keep us from missing and worrying about him. Second time around we had no worries just knew Willie was in good hands which made it easy to leave him for the week. Thank you so much!!!

Grahame and her family were wonderful with Durzo! He enjoyed his staycation while his momma traveled. We didn’t worry even for a moment because we were confident they were the right match for our family ! Thank you very much - Brenna & Durzo

I am so glad I chose to have Cooper stay at Grahame and Jeff's home. They are the best!!! He recieved so much attention and had fun! He made new friends and had fun with "Pappie". Grahame sent daily messages with a picture of him having a good time. I know where Cooper will be staying when we go away again? Thank you so much!

Grahame and her family take wonderful care of my dog, Brenna. She sends pictures and a daily update. Brenna is a big black lab who loves to sit on you and sleep in bed with you. Not a problem!!! Thanks for making going away much easier knowing my fur baby is at her home away from home.
