Pet care experience
Powered by cuddles & dog hair! 🐾
Hi, we're Kieran & Mike, two dog lovers based in Birmingham, sharing our home with Bruce (our scruffy sweetheart) and Loki (our spotty Dalmatian goofball). Dogs are a huge part of our lives, and over the years we've welcomed all kinds into our home, from energetic puppies and playful adolescents to senior dogs and those who need a little extra patience and reassurance. Whether your dog loves long adventures or prefers a quiet cuddle on the sofa, we'll make sure they feel safe, relaxed and part of the family. We both work within the charity sector and are DBS checked, so trust, communication and reliability are second nature to us. We know how important it is to leave your dog with someone who'll care for them as if they were their own. Our home has: 🏡 A secure, fully fenced garden. 🛋️ Plenty of cosy spaces to relax (yes... sofas are allowed!). 🐕 Two friendly resident dogs who love making new friends. 🌳 Regular walks, enrichment games and lots of fuss. Every dog is different, so we'll always follow your routine as closely as possible, from feeding schedules and medication to favourite toys, sleeping arrangements and walk preferences. We believe consistency helps dogs settle quickly and enjoy their stay. While you're away, we'll keep you updated with plenty of photos and videos, so you can relax knowing your best friend is having a great time too. We'd love to meet you and your dog before their stay to make sure everyone feels comfortable. We can't wait to welcome your four legged family member into ours! ❤️🐾

Ratings and reviews
We were so glad we found Kieran and Mike. From the very start they were incredibly patient and caring with Oliver which allowed him to settle into their lovely home. Oliver got on amazingly with their two dogs, Loki and Bruce - it seems like he had a holiday of his own. Oliver already misses his new buddies. We were kept up to date with messages and photos, which made us relaxed - knowing Oliver was having a fun time and being cared for so wonderfully. We would 100% recommend them and would absolutely be happy for them to look after Oliver again.
Kieran and Mike were absolutely amazing! They were available quite last minute after our other dog sitter cancelled a week before we were going away and they’ve definitely become our go to! They treated Ozzy like one of their own and made sure he had a holiday as well. Ozzy is a 10 month old Bernese mountain dog, so a giant baby essentially and we had some concerns before going but they handled Ozzy amazingly and we had no worries while we were away. Ozzy loved their dogs, Bruce and Loki, and he’s going to miss having some doggy friends around all of the time. We definitely wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for a sitter!
Dexter our GSP has just come from spending a week with Kieran and Mike, I am always nervous leaving Dexter at first as although he is no problem at home and with family I always worry when he’s in someone else’s home. Shouldn’t have worried he got on famously and as far as I’m aware he didn’t disgrace himself 😀. From the off us humans and Dexter was made to feel welcome which put me at ease straight away. We had regular photos, videos and updates which were very much appreciated and it was great to see that Dexter got on with Kieran and Mikes own dogs too, he enjoys being outside and off the lead and this was also facilitated which again was appreciated. Fabulous experience, thank you
I really can't give Kieran and Mike enough credit for the way they looked after my Dog and 2 cats for 10 days ! these Guys really love Animals! from the moment we went away we were updated with photos and Videos . this allowed me to relax while away knowing the animals were in good care. they go above and beyond to make sure they are happy and well looked after.
Bradley had a wonderful time and I felt completely at ease that he was being well looked after. Regular updates and photos of Bradley with his new friends. Thank you so much, will definitely use again.
Kieran was an amazing host for Buddy and he had a great time there. I was kept up to date with video and text messages during his stay and I could see how happy and content Buddy was during walks and playtimes with Keirans own dog. Buddy will definitely stay with him again and I can thoroughly recommend him. 5star home boarding

Schedule
Pet care is a big part of my daily routine since I have two dogs of my own. I make time for regular walks, play sessions, and plenty of cuddles every day. I’m flexible with scheduling as me and my partner work from home and can accommodate your pet’s needs, whether it’s a quick walk or a longer stay

A typical day
This depends on the needs of the dogs we are caring for as we like to keep their routine as close to normal as possible. A typical day for us is: Morning – Sniffari walk; breakfast & chill. Late morning/afternoon – Kieran works from home, so dogs hang out in the office or will relax with Bruce and Loki around the house, puzzle toys or garden breaks every couple of hours. Evening – Park adventure (Sutton and Pype Hayes are regulars but we also go to secure off lead dog parks too), dinner, then sofa cuddles. Updates – Photos/videos each day + a short summary of how they have been
