James was a very responsible host. Tyson gave him a bit of a hard time and he was very patient and more understanding than I would have been. Pick up and drop off were seamless and he sent loads of updates and videos throughout the visit.

Safety, trust & environment

I spend most of my free time being attentive to my dogs needs, walks, homemade food, petting, cuddles, baths. My home is a safe place for dogs and plenty of space for them to relax and enjoy fresh air from the balcony.
