Information Ian K. would like to know about your pet

To make sure your dog feels comfortable and cared for, please let me know if there are any special requirements or important details I should be aware of such as dietary needs, medication, exercise routines, or any behaviors or issues I should keep in mind. The more I know, the better I can make their time with me safe, happy, and stress free!

A typical day

A typical day with me is full of care, fun, and companionship! Your dog will enjoy a nice balance of activity and relaxation, we’ll take trips to the park for fresh air and exercise, spend time playing together in the garden, and when I’m working, they’re welcome to sit by my side for company and comfort!

Pet care experience

With a lifetime of experience caring for dogs, My wife Alice and I understand that every pet has unique needs, especially senior dogs. We recently had the privilege of looking after our 17-year-old pup with hearing loss and other age related challenges, giving us hands on experience in providing patient, attentive care for pets who need a little extra support, sadly we lost Breezer in 2024 just before our son was born. From daily routines to comfort and companionship, we treat every dog as if they were our own. Having grown up with dogs throughout our lives, we know the importance of trust, consistency, and compassion. Whether your pet is young and energetic or older and needing special attention, you can feel confident they’ll be safe, cared for, and loved while you're away!

Both dogs loved Ian and his family. They were looked after so well and given their meds when needed. We had regular updates and photos which really put our minds at ease. Would definitely use Ian again
