Working from home isn't work if there's a dog
Pet care experience
My partner (May) and I have both grown up around a mix of cats and dogs, from strays to pedigrees, and now have space in our home to care for others. I have raised two puppies and cared for many others, so we're happy to take on younger dogs and provide early socialisation and training. I currently volunteer caring for dogs at a local RSPCA branch where I receive training and experience in dog behaviour and safety. I have looked after dogs and cats for family, friends, neighbours, etc. for most of my life. For any check-ins or walks it will just be myself, and both May and I would be involved during stays with us.
Reviews
James took great care of our Dobbie. He came back to us happy and healthy. We will certainly book him again to take care of our dog.
AMAZING! This was the 1st time we have ever used a dog sitting service. James & his partner May, cared for our dog Teddy (who is a rescue) giving him all the cuddles & reassurance he needs. We felt able to relax, knowing that Teddy was in good hands. We would very much recommend this lovely kind couple, to care for your four-legged bestie. Thank you again James & May. Love Teddy & family x
Parker had a great time with James and May. He was very well looked after and we had photos and knew he was happy and safe. Even went for a big countryside walk! He was not fussed when we came to pick him up - a very good sign. Thanks guys!
Great communication and bear enjoyed his walk with james. Would definitely recommend his services.

Safety, trust & environment
We accept multiple dogs at once, but only from the same household so we guarantee they will get along. I have a fenced garden and plenty of space for your fur baby inside and out. I can accommodate most arrangements with regards to crating and maintaining your own house rules.

I am currently working from home full time. Outside of a few hours spent on calls per day I am in charge of my own schedule, so I'm free to play with any pups as much as they can handle!
