Pet care experience
We have both had pets all our lives and love our furry friends. We have one dog (Riley) and regularly look after dogs for family, friends and neighbours. We both work from home, so your pup will never need to be left alone for extended periods. We have plenty of time to give them the love and attention they need. There will also be lots of playtime, walks, and all-important cuddles. We have a lovely big garden (fenced) to explore. It backs straight onto the South Downs, which is great for short strolls or longer walks. We understand that each dog is unique and provide tailored care. By learning about their normal behaviours and routines, we can ensure a comfortable and familiar environment for your dog. We can look after puppies (once fully house-trained) and elderly dogs, and you can rest assured that your pet's needs will be fully met. We know what it is like leaving your dog behind when you go away, so we provide as many regular updates and photos as you want. This way, you can see how your dog is doing and feel confident that they are happy and well looked after. We are happy to pick up and drop off for an additional charge. And, of course, we are more than happy to answer any questions you have or arrange to meet so your dog can get to know us first.
Reviews
So glad to have found Kate & Mark who have been amazing in looking after Robbie when my Aunt was taken ill. Daily updates & photos have shown how settled & happy Robbie has been with them. He has also made friends with Riley & Chester. Heart warming . Planning on extending Robbie’s stay

Safety, trust & environment
We live in a quiet residential area that backs onto the South Downs. Your dog will be part of the family while they are here. Riley has free range in the house - we don't restrict where he goes, so your pup can roam as much as he/she likes. They will also have access to the garden whenever they want, and there will be lots of balls and toys to play with (Riley will happily share). Your pup doesn't need to be crate trained and will be be free to choose any comfy corner to make themselves comfortable and snooze in - if he/she has a favourite bed, feel free to bring it. We have a relaxed pup parenting style, but we are also happy to respect any rules and routines your pup has. Just let us know.

We walk Riley every day—he loves beach adventures and country-side hikes. We also take him out to socialise with the other dogs in the area on the local cricket pitch, so your pup will get plenty of outdoor exercise if needed.
