We will fulfil the owners instructions regarding their dogs; it may be that they need 100% attention or you may prefer them to be left on their own for a short while.

John W.'s Neighborhood

Energentic early retired couple -Lovers of animals

Pet care experience

We both grew up in families where dogs and cats played an important part in our lives. As a married couple, we owned a cocker spaniel called Millie for 14 years. Losing her left a very large hole in our lives and we help to fill that hole by looking after other people’s dogs. We love to create a loving and caring bond with the dogs that we look after.

This was the third time we left our dog Calli with John & Teresa and as usual she loved it. On arrival, Calli disappeared upstairs and settled straight in - which was great to see. We got some nice pictures while we were away and daily updates which put our mind at rest. We collected Calli after 8 days and as before, we could see the bond that John & Teresa have formed with her. Although it’s a 45 minutes drive from our home, it’s well worth it knowing that Calli is so well cared for. Thanks Again.

John & Teresa looked after our ‘giant teddy bear’ Calli for 8 nights in February while we went abroad. We had previously had a one night trial to ensure all went well. Leaving a dog is a big decision - but with John & Teresa, we knew all would be well as soon as we first met them. They are true dog lovers who ensured that Calli was well looked after and given long and varied walks to keep her happy. When it came time to collect Calli, it was very clear that she had made a special bond with John & Teresa and that was lovely to see. We have already booked another 8 night stay in April. Thanks John & Teresa for taking such good care of Calli-Bear.

We left our Caucasian Shepherd Cross rescue - Calli - with John and Teresa for a 24 hour period to see how she got on - prior to a couple of week long stints that we have booked with them in February and April. We had also been for a meet and greet prior to leaving her. It was clear from our first meeting that John and Teresa are lovely people who really care about dogs and also know how to look after them and make sure they are happy. We got a photo of Calli out on a walk in the country park that borders John and Teresa’s house. She was given 2 long walks during the day. On collecting Calli, I could see that she had bonded well and was very much at home - which was great to see and put our minds at rest about leaving her for longer periods. Knowing that Calli will be so well looked after is very important to us and John and Teresa are the perfect people to ensure that is the case. Thank you very much. See you in February.

John & Teresa are really lovely petsitters. It was obvious that they love dogs, and that Waffle was well looked after and we will have no hesitation booking them again.
