Marie was fabulous (as always). Called me as concerned for something, which I really appreciated!

Marie is fantastic and having such a dependable person makes it easier to go away, as i know my fluffy is in safe hands 🙌🏻

Our dog loves staying with Marie and her family and had another great time with her whilst we were away. Our dog came home relaxed and well cared for - we couldn’t ask for more. Thank you.

Marie was great, both of our boys settled with her immediately and we knew we'd be able to relax safe in the knowledge they were in good hands. Will definitely be asking her to come and look after them again, thanks Marie. Mark & Viks.

Schedule

I currently work from home writing reports and do not have a full 9-5 day, which gives me a lot of flexibility and freedom to go on long woodland and country side walks. I have experience of handling large dogs and love to snuggle up with them on the sofa in the evenings.

Safety, trust & environment

I have an open plan home with plenty of throws on the sofas for relaxing on after a long walk and a secure rear garden for toilet breaks between big walks. I let the pets choose where they want to sleep and will let them on the bed (being apart from their family can be unsettling) if they want to.

A typical day

I will do two long walks a day, the length of which will be dog specific but up to 15k, with a few shorter walks. With longer stays for dogs with more energy, I will go to a secure two acre field with agility equipment to have run arounds off the lead to have lots of fun.
