Pet care experience

Family-friendly, loving environment

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 have been boarding dogs for many years and started on Rover in 2025, it’s lovely meeting so many different dogs!

Marcus and Mia were such a lovely couple - I really appreciated the daily updates, and I know Luna had a wonderful time because she came back absolutely pooped! I was also very grateful for their flexibility on timings as we were travelling quite a distance and had traffic to consider, etc. Overall a great experience. 🐾

A good amount of pictures and updates, and Tywin came home all happy and tired out. Really nice people and happy to make Tywin comfortable away from home :) thanks!

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 😊
