Pet care experience
Loving big family and your dogs home from home
We are a big family with lots of love to offer your dogs. We are Ian (43) and Teresa (35), a couple with 4 kids ranging from 3 to 16. We are very active and like going on walks to get out in the fresh air and countryside. We are big animal lovers! and both had dogs most of our lives. Now that we don’t have any we’ve decided to use the love and entertainment our big family brings to help look after other dogs. We have a decent sized house, 3 stories with a fence garden right on the canal which is great for long walks. Your pet will be in very safe hands with us :) Please note: Please check our calendar to see if we have availability before requesting a booking. Also whilst we have no restrictions, if you would prefer us to put any rules in place, please let me know and we will do that.

Ratings and reviews
Ian and his family looked after our dog Ziggy while we were away in Poland and she honestly couldn’t have been happier. She was clearly loved just as much as at home, had loads of walks, and we got plenty of photo updates which was lovely. Not sure she even missed us! Would definitely recommend.
Ian and his family are lovely. They are so welcoming and make your dog part of their family. It’s helps that they have the most adorable little girl ever who fussed and cared for my boy Bailey. I now feel so relaxed about leaving Bailey again in the future.
Oreo had a great time with Ian - don’t think she wanted to come home! We were nervous to leave her with someone new but Ian put our minds at rest straight away by accommodating for needs and even sent pics and videos throughout to let us know how things were going. Have already booked a follow up stay. Thanks to Ian and your family!
Amazing best experience ever will be using you again when we go away made me feel at ease this was the first time I left my button with someone that wasn’t family and you made it amazing thank you so much recommend alway
We highly recommend Ian and his family for pet sitting. Ian looked after our dog for just over a week and this was the first holiday after we got him as he’s only a year old, so I wanted to make sure we got this right. And we certainly did! Sent constant updates and pictures which really made our time away so enjoyable and felt we could fully relax. Our pup is very nervous round men so when Ian built up such a fantastic bond with him, we couldn’t believe it. To the point I’m pretty sure he didn’t want to come home! Thanks so much to Ian and his family. So glad we found you. Jen
Ian and teresa! What can we say! We have never loved anyone as much as we love these with our pup! Their family are always so kind and considerate with us. We had some awful news whilst away and they did everything they could to accommodate time and time again. Rufus always comes home so happy, clean and walked! We are nervous about who we leave him with as he is a rescue pup, but they welcome him into their family like their own! Thank you so much. Rufus can’t wait to see you again ! If you are looking for a family who will love your pet look no further than here! Xxx
