Highlights
Pet care experience
Dependable, Loving Dog Sitting, tailored to you!
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!

Ivy had a wonderful time staying with Ian and Alice. Communication was excellent throughout, and we really appreciated the regular updates and beautiful photos. We’d happily recommend them.
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

Ian and Alice are absolutely fantastic sitters. They looked after our nervous rescues as if they were their own. They provided regular updates and lovely pictures, leaving us to enjoy our holiday knowing that our dogs were having a great time. Our dogs returned safe, happy and well rested. We’d 100% recommend them to other pet owners :)

Schedule
Currently, I work a mostly remote job which allows me to work from home and my wife is a childminder that works 4 days a week (mon-thurs) at a different premises, while having off most school holiays and fridays. We are available most weeks, if given notice to look after your pets!
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Our garden is completely fenced off all the way around with no chance of any escapees! We are very aware of doors being closed off before the front door is being opened in case of any houdini doggies!
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!
