Highlights
Pet care experience
A holiday for your dog, in our home
We've had cocker spaniels in our family for around 18 years. Our 2 dogs lived a happy life with lots of walks locally in Whiteley and many trips to the beach for a run around and a swim. They lived until they were old ladies (14 &15). Our daughters have 3 dogs between them, who come to visit us a lot and this is their second home. We love having them around (2 cocker spaniels and a staffie). Your dog will get walks in the nearby woods/paths and plenty of time in our secure garden. Trips further afield at the weekends too if your dog is happy to travel in the car. If not, Whiteley has a lot of options for exercise. I work from home most of the week as does my husband Brian. There will always be one of us here for your dog throughout the day and night. Your dog will be a part of our family life and it will be our pleasure to look after them.

Ratings and reviews
We have just collected Millie from her 3 week break with Marie and Brian and she’s had a thoroughly lovely time! From the initial meet and greet it was clear that Marie and Brian were experienced dog lovers and immediately gave us confidence leaving our lively 18 month old westie, Millie. They both took on all of Millie’s quirks and went above and beyond to make her stay relaxed and fun by receiving real affection, play and thoughtful attention. Millie has been cared for so well and had so much love shown towards her that she didn’t seem to want to come away! Marie gave us lots of updates and pictures of the fun things that Millie had been up to and it really helped us relax in the confidence that she was being so well cared for, along with lots of cuddles along the way too! Thank you so much Marie and Brian for treating Millie like your own and giving us total peace of mind. We would thoroughly recommend Marie and Brian and hope they will be available for our next holiday.
Marie has looked after my cavapoo several times and I know that she is always looked after and loved as if she were Marie's own dog. Marie's house is lovely and spacious with plenty of space for roaming around or wandering in the securely fenced garden. There are lots of interesting walks in and around the Whiteley area, along paths, through the woods and by the river if your dog does not like to travel in the car. I have no hesitation in recommending Marie as a pet sitter knowing that your pet will be cared for by a most trustworthy and compassionate person.
Marie & Brian have had family dogs for the last 18 years, with their three children growing up at home. A beautiful spacious house, and a quiet, secure and exciting garden for your dog to explore! Marie & Brian look after our two cocker spaniels for us when we’re away, and it’s their 2nd home - they love it! They’ll be loved and spoilt like their own, with a huge choice of fun locations to walk and play!
Marie is fantastic with dogs! With a huge garden to run around in and a cozy log burner in the living room, your dog will be more than cared for! Home away from home. She has helped us out with our dogs many times and I couldn’t recommend her enough!

Schedule
I work from most most of the time, as does my husband. Your dogs will get an early morning walk and will have attention throughout the day. We have a large enclosed garden where they can play and snooze. Walks in the evening too and they will be free to enjoy the family home.
