Pet care experience

A family-friendly, loving environment for your pet

Mia grew up in an animal-loving household with a border terrier, a border collie, black and white moggie, rabbits, fish & guinea pigs! She also owns a cat sitting business, providing home visits in Cheltenham. Marcus grew up with lots of pets in his wider family, and has always had a soft spot for dogs. He couldn’t wait to get his own. We are now very proud owners of our beautiful Labrador, Bonnie, and black & white moggie, Loki. We are often asked to look after our neighbours dog, and family member’s dogs, due to the loving, committed care we provide.

This was our second time using Marcus and nothing but good things to say. It was evident my dog was treated like family while there. Communication was clear and frequent. Marcus was even very accommodating when our flight back home was 4 hours late. There is no doubt I will be using him in the future.

Our pup had a great time with Marcus and his family, and she is looking forward to her holiday with them in the summer! Thank you for looking after Ember 😊

Marcus and family were absolutely top rate sitters. We could tell the first time we met them that they were confident around dogs and nothing seemed to phase them or be too much trouble. Consequently Alfie & Ty settled in straight away and appear to have had a lovely couple of days.

Huxley had the best time with Marcus, Mia and Bonnie. They were so welcoming and Huxley slotted straight into their family life. We got daily updates and photos which was so lovely. Could not have asked for a better set up! Not only has Huxley found a new best friend in Bonnie, he has also found a second family. Thank you so much and we will certainly use them again.

Very good communication and lots of updates while our dog was with Marcus. He was really comfortable when we left him and upon his return, it was like he'd been on holiday and so relaxed! First time using Marcus's overnight boarding, but certainly will not the last
