Another lovely stay for the Roo dog with James and Jayne. It makes our holidays so much more relaxing knowing Roo is safe and well cared for. Thanks James and Jayne, she had the best time 🫶

It was our first time leaving Otis for more than one night but I felt confident and reassured that Jayne and James were giving him lots of love, care and attention. We received lot of photo and video updates and Otis was so relaxed and happy when I picked him up that I know he had a wonderful time.

Another wonderful stay. When we dropped them off, the Captain & Luca were pawing at the door to get in to see Jayne & James. They are both so amazing with our boys.

Schedule

I am 60 and recently retired from career as a civil servant. My wife works in Pensions but is based 100 percent at home. We have plenty of time available to care for, walk and exercise and play with doggy guests. Although we are at a life stage that prohibits taking on new dogs of our own at the moment we love dog sitting and always look forward to hearing pawsteps around the house again.

Safety, trust & environment

Large house in very quiet cul de sac. Dogs staying with us would have the full run of the house ( as ours always did) . We have a large rear garden - fully walled / fenced. We live about a quarter mile from a beautiful nature reserve and less than 2 miles from the beach. We only ever have one dog ( or two from the same owner) and never mix dogs. While your dog is with us he /she is absolutely part of our family and will have our exclusive attention.

A typical day

We love going for walks and dogs would be exercised at least twice daily. Also enjoy playing in garden with dogs ( fetch, football). At night time dogs can choose where to sleep including our bed if that is what they are used to at home.
