Pet care experience
They have created a loving and nurturing environment for their cocker spaniel named Darcy. Both James+Viv have a deep-rooted connection with animals, with James having spent his childhood on a farm in rural Wales, caring for animals of all kinds, while Viv has had dogs as companions since she was a young child. With their extensive experience and love for animals, James+Viv understand the importance of providing a playful and social environment for dogs. They are thrilled to have Darcy, who enjoys playing and being around other dogs.
Reviews
6 stars! We left our young dog with viv and James. We had only had him a week so were nervous but needn’t have been! The best rover I have used by far. A little more pricey than some other options but definitely worth it would have paid more for the peace of mind that my dog was being loved and cared for like their own. Lots of photos of wonderful day trips and doggie games and all sorts. Our dog came back to us better trained than when we left him! He no longer barks at other dogs! If you want to be sure your dog is happy and being well looked after by people who know dogs well and really care, this is the rover for you 😅 can’t thank you guys enough 🥲 xx
James and Viv looked after my dog Ted for a few days whilst I was on holiday. They were flexible in arranging a play date beforehand to check Ted got on with their dog Darcy. They sent loads of nice photos of Ted, were really clear and quick with communication and clearly treated Ted as if he were theirs. Have already re-booked them for future holidays.
Bella had such a lovely time! She had a great time on her walk and was so well looked after, with lots of pictures and updates. Thank you James and Viv!
James and Viv were very generous with their time and really helped us out by being so flexible. They took very good care of our dog and sent us regular updates. We would definitely recommend them.
