Pet care experience

Animal loving family home

My nine-year-old cockapoo Skye is adored by our family and allowed to rule the roost. Having grown up with cats, dogs, goldfish and sheep on a Croft, animals are a big part of my life. Our two children treat Skye like a princess but would love to give any visiting dogs the same care. Since my wife works from home there’s always company for more anxious dogs. I’m home evenings and weekends and up very early for those early morning walks and toilet breaks. We have an enclosed back garden for regular breaks and a nature park beside us with other lovely walks to vary our routine. We have looked after family members dogs and Skye enjoys the company of other dogs too.

Mack had the best time staying with this lovely family, he was well looked after and came home happy and exercised. We got regular photo updates and Mack can’t wait to stay again if you’ll have him :) Thanks again! x

Schedule

I frequently work from home so our dog is never left alone for long. I’m back early from work each evening and off at weekends, if I go to work I come back for breaks. We manage to get the dog out to our garden and on walks around the local area, which includes a lovely nature park. We also venture to the Campsie Hills, Mugdock or even further afield. My children are out of the home during school hours, but my wife works from home so is in the house the majority of the time.

Safety, trust & environment

My fenced garden and loving cockapoo will keep your cherished dog company. Together with my home-working wife and two animal-loving children, your dog will be well cared for. We can crate your dog if you prefer but if not we want them to feel secure and comfortable with us.

Pets

A typical day

I love to keep our dog active. Varying walks and places to go to keep her stimulate. Additionally games to suit the dog, such as fetch - my girl loves tug of war than play fetch, others love to fetch! It’s what each likes to do

I am keen to know about your dogs unique personality, like and dislikes. What helps them feel settled and reassured to feel at home. What they like to eat, and what is a treat for them.
