Boarding • May 29, 2026

John took such great care of Stanley while we were away. It was clear from the moment we met him that Stanley would be in safe and caring hands, and throughout our holiday John kept us regularly updated with messages and photos, which really allowed us to relax and fully enjoy our time away knowing Stanley was happy and well looked after. Stanley was so well cared for and clearly had an amazing time — I honestly don’t think he wanted to come home! We wouldn’t hesitate to book with John again in the future and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter.

We use John every time we need someone to mind our dog, Caesar. He loves visiting and always comes home happy and healthy. John gives plenty of updates throughout the stay and ensures all Caesars needs are met and his routine is as close to normal as possible. Can’t recommend John and Shelly enough

John has been just brilliant with Oakley I can tell he has been well cared for, I was sent updates and photos throughout, he has returned content and relaxed. Hope to leave him with John in the future, thanks so much!

Doggy Day Care • Dec 01, 2025

Wallace has enjoyed some more time with John and Michelle recently, and has loved every second! He drags us up the driveway now, tail wagging, and it's so reassuring to know he'll be happy and safe whilst we're gone. He enjoys lots of interesting walks, playtime and peaceful snoozes with John, and it's clear that the dogs in his care are made a priority. Nothing feels like too much trouble to accommodate his home comforts, and we consider ourselves very lucky to have them nearby!

Just picked Stanley up from John’s house yesterday after a 10 night stay. He has been cared for beautifully and given lots of nice walks. We were sent photos and updates all the way through so very reassured our dog was in great hands. No hesitation to recommend John to others.
