I will treat your dog as if it were mine

I don’t have any professional experience however, my family has had dogs since I was born. We have had a collie and 2 golden retrievers, I do also have a dog of my own which is a collie/retriever/german shepherd mix. I have experience looking after a variety of dogs from a mastiff/rottweiler cross to a Dachshund.

James and Simone were amazing, took wee Rufus for a last minute booking and he really got on with everyone. Kept in the loop, would definitely go back to them in the future. Thank you! :-)

James and Simone cared for Orla for three nights. Orla was very happy to see me when I picked her up but I could tell she’d been happy staying there too. She got on well with their dog and was well cared for. I wouldn’t hesitate to leave her with them in the future.

Thanks to James and Simone for looking after Archie. He had a great time and settled in well. Got lots of updates and he appeared happy and content

James was great; responsive to a meet up before we left just to ensure dogs got on etc., and kept us updated with photos while we were away. Pablo clearly felt at home, and was returned healthy and happy - we’re so pleased to have met someone we’d be happy to leave him with again. Thanks to both James and his partner for looking after him so well.

Everything went very smooth when Olive stayed with James and Simone. James provided regular updates and Olive came away really happy.

A typical day

If your fluffy friend loves water just pop me a note as I have no issue taking them somewhere they can go for a swim. I will allow them to explore all over the house and we will have lots of cuddles and play time.
