Gabby had a great time with James and his room mates. They took good care of her and she came home her usual, happy self. This was her first time spending time away from us. We had lots of photos, videos and updates. Would definitely recommend, and Gabby will already be having another holiday with them soon!

I can tell when Tommy has had a good time and when he’s had a great time… and he’s definitely had a great time with James! James saved me when I had a last-minute emergency and needed someone to look after Tommy. He kept me updated throughout and took fantastic care of him. Thanks again!

James looked after our 6 month old puppy for a week and was absolutely great with him, taking him to lots of new places for walks and even practicing recall. Sent regular pics and videos, and seemed to gel well with our pup. We hope he'll look after him again next time!

James and Hannah were brilliant. Our spaniel loved their home and seemed to really enjoy them both. Fantastic experience all round

No doubt about it, James loves animals and animals love James. He has a great affinity and affection for them and loves to walk,play and have fun with them. Many times whien I have visited James he is dog sitting people's pets in his own home and his canine friends look happy and cilled out. He is responsible and tuned in to those in his care, centred upon their wellbeing. Highly recommend

How often they need walking? How many grams of food they take? Are you providing food for the stay or are they happy with regular kibble? How many times and at what times do they eat? Can they have treats? Do they need to be on the lead at all times when outside? How to they interact with other dogs? How about people? Are they very loud and bark often? Do they need medications? What is their temporament? - Thank you :)
