Dog dad offering care services & walkies

Pet care experience

Hi, I am a 35 year old professional who is animal first aid qualified and DBS checked. I have been a huge animal lover all of my life and absolutely adore being in the company of dogs! I am currently proud dad to Ralphie my 2 year old miniature labradoodle, and Enzo my 9 year old British blue (who spends most of his time upstairs sleeping). During boarding Enzo will be kept separate upstairs, however I cannot accept dogs with a high prey drive for boarding overnight at my property. I cherish the time I spend with not only Ralphie but other dogs within my family and friendship groups. Ralphie comes almost everywhere with me, he’s very well socialised and loves to play with other animals and humans. He can therefore accompany me on walks with your dog(s), or if one on one walks are preferred that is also not a problem. My home is a large 3 bed terraced house on a quiet street, away from any main roads, within less than 10 minutes walk to both Light Oaks and Buille hill parks. My back yard is enclosed with pet friendly artificial grass for wee breaks, and the gate can only be opened from inside the garden, that being said I never leave dogs alone in the garden! I work fairly flexible hours from home and want to expand my services beyond friends, family and neighbours. I drive and have seatbelts for two dogs in the back of my car, and some of my preferred walks are Drinkwater park, Prestwich clough, Monton loopline, and Clifton country park. This ensures my fury friends get new adventures and places to explore. Treats, training leads and poo bags are all provided. Free meet and greets can be carried out at either your home or Buille Hill Park. I will ask about commands, recall, training, how they are around other dogs on/off lead etc. Also please do let me knowing your dog has any special needs or behaviours that need to be accounted for.

Karl had my 1 y/o bulldog Shug for 9 nights and I could tell he was really well looked after and happy. He was well groomed and got lots of walks, affection and attention. Karl sent pics and videos each day and I was able to relax on holiday knowing Shug was being so well cared for. Will definitely be letting Shug stay with Karl again in the future and would highly recommend. Thanks Karl x

We were really nervous about leaving our 6 month pup Maui but we were so happy with the care he had from Karl. He was made to feel part of the family and looked so well cared for, with regular photos and updates! We would really recommend Karl for a homely stay and would definitely love Maui to stay again if we go away!

Karl was great with our cockapoo Reggie! Really patient as he can take a while to warm up to new people. He sent me lots of of photos and videos and ensured he got plenty of exercise. Karl’s great with animals and was really flexible and understanding with our crazy dog!

Fernando absolutely loved Karl. I was a bit unsure of how everything was going to go as Fernando had never spent so much time with another dog, but he absolutely loved it. Karl kept me updated with regular pictures and messages. Fernando kept trying to find his friend in the back garden at home! That’s how much he enjoyed his stay. Recommend him 100%. Thanks again Karl?
