Pet care experience

Passionate and caring dog lover.

I’ve taken care of my own dogs, including puppies since a young age. I have experience with variety of breeds, including German shepherds, schnauzers, and at the moment I have a golden retriever called Poppy. Full time week days when I’m not working. Currently I am working 3 days a week, these days are flexible and include every other weekend. I leave in a house with my partner and our Golden Retriever. We offer a fully fancy garden with decking area, quite and safe environment.

Doggy Day Care • Nov 08, 2025

We were very lucky that Gustavo’s delightful partner Stuart was free to dog-sit our Standard Poodle Otis at very short notice. Stuart was friendly, accommodating and a great communicator. Otis was a happy, tired, and well-cared for boy when we collected him. Many thanks and 100% recommend.

Stuart was fantastic with our dog! He really went the extra mile, taking her for a proper run and spending time playing fetch, which she absolutely loves. It’s clear he’s a real dog person and genuinely enjoys spending time with them. We came home to a happy, tired pup and couldn’t have asked for better care. Would definitely book again!

Gustavo really is amazing! He agreed to care for my little Pomeranian at very short notice, kept me updated throughout the weekend with pictures and videos and clearly took 5* care of her for me while I was away. His home is lovely, as is his resident dog Poppy, and if I could give 6*s I would! Thank you Gustavo and Poppy!

Gustavo and his partner were seriously lovely! We left our 4 month old Vizsla with them over the Christmas holiday and it was so nice knowing he was going to be so loved. I hadn’t met either of the sitters before but the second I dropped Brady off I felt so comfortable with them. They took such good care of Brady and were so accommodating. Their own dog Poppy was so good with Brady so he had a lovely friend to play with. Would highly recommend and will 100% use Gustavo again ❤️

A typical day

I love playing with my dog Poppy, teaching her new tricks and how to be obedient to commands to keep her active and happy. I offer the same routine, playing in my garden and go to walk in a park near by my house.
