Ratings and reviews
Ivan looked after our dog for 10 days and offers outstanding care. We have complete trust in him when leaving our dog. She has tons of fun, exercise, fun games and regular walks. Ivan keeps you regularly updated for a complete piece of mind and ensures every dog’s personality is catered for. 100% recommend!
Ivan was simply fantastic. This was the first time we had left Cami with anyone and we were slightly nervous but Ivan kept us updated everyday with photos and videos of her amazing walks so we knew she was being well looked after. Each day she got to explore a different park so she never got bored. I couldn't have asked for anyone better to look after Cami and would definitely book with Ivan again.
We were so worried about leaving our fearful pup with someone else, but honestly, we couldn't have found better care than with Ivan. Everything was absolutely perfect—the communication, flexibility with our last minute change, his place and garden, and the daily walks. We loved the tons of pictures and video updates. Pippa came back home very happy and ready for a long nap after so much fun with her new friends :) Thank you so much, Ivan.
Minnie had a lovely day with Ivan and family! We will be requesting to rebook again soon.
Honestly the best dog sitter you could ask for . You ca tell invan. It ky cares but enjoys looking after your pets. Regular update and lots of walks and attention. Simply the best
We couldn’t have wished for Eddie to have a better experience boarding while we were away. Ivan took really great care of him, and kept us informed with lovely daily photos and walk updates. We’ve come home to a happy dog, and wouldn’t hesitate to book again!

Schedule
I am available 7 days a week and aim to be as flexible and reliable as possible. This is my full-time role and care is my priority. Daycare is up to 9 hours, between the hours of 8am and 9pm. Extended care available for £15 if needed. Boarding is a full 24-hour stay with overnight care. We are always happy to help with early drop-offs or late pick-ups where possible, as long as this is arranged in advance. We communicate planned holidays well in advance, allowing you make alternative arrangements, and I am proud to say, we’ve never cancelled a confirmed booking.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
We care for multiple dogs (small and medium breeds only) at the same time in small, well-managed groups. Most of the dogs are regular visitors and are well matched in temperament to ensure a calm and attentive environment. We have a secure, fenced garden where dogs can safely play, explore and enjoy plenty of exercise and stimulation throughout the day. Dogs are under constant supervision and they are never left unattended. Inside, dogs are welcome to relax on comfortable sofas and rugs in both the kitchen and the living room, with cool floors and/or cooling mats available for warmer days or dogs with thicker coats. Water is always available, with bowls placed at both ends of the kitchen and replenished regularly to keep it clean and fresh. Owner approved treats are provided in moderation throughout the day as part of play, positive reinforcement, and to make their stay extra enjoyable.
A typical day
Once a dog arrives, I give them time to settle in at their own pace, become familiar with the environment, and enjoy a relaxed garden break. The morning is usually spent resting or enjoying gentle play at home, allowing dogs to feel calm and comfortable. Around midday - depending on the season and weather - we head out for a walk, making use of several nearby parks. We rotate the parks daily to ensure new smells and a stimulating experience. After returning home, dogs can rest and recharge. In the afternoon, we enjoy more relaxed play and interaction - cuddles, enrichment activities, such as puzzle toys, ‘find it’ games, and fetching balls to suit each dog’s energy level and interests. In the evening, we start winding down in preparation for pick up or bed time when boarding. Owners are kept up to date throughout the day with multiple photos and videos including a custom video of our walk.
