Highlights
Pet care experience
Active, flexible couple
Martyn and I miss having dogs in our lives and their positive impact on our daily activities. Our own family dogs (now no longer with us) were companions on our many day trips and lengthy camper van holidays in the UK and abroad. We raised and trained them from puppies to their senior years, meeting their changing needs as the years rolled by.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
As I come away from meeting with them, I just knew that Murphy would be in great hands. They were just lovely which made me feel comfortable. Murphy had a wonderful stay and they looked after him like he was there own. I really didn't want to do this review because I want them for myself! Excellent!
Marina is excellent with dogs, love walking and has bucket loads of energy. She's kind, and patient and will be a perfect pet sitter! I wouldn't hesitate for her to look after my dog.
I would highly recommend Marina to anyone looking for a pet caregiver. She kindly volunteered to walk our Springer Spaniel on a regular basis, and she was wonderful with her. Anyone who has experience with Spaniels knows they can be energetic, strong-willed, and sometimes a little challenging, requiring plenty of patience, consistency, and enthusiasm. Marina rose to the challenge! She was reliable, attentive, and clearly enjoyed spending time with our dog, who always came back from walks happy and well-exercised. It was obvious that Marina genuinely cared about our dog's wellbeing. We felt completely comfortable entrusting her with our Springer and would not hesitate to recommend her as a capable and confident care-giver. She would be a fantastic addition to the Rover community.

Schedule
We both retired early and will be able to meet your pets needs in terms of activity and human companionship. Your dog will be walked twice a day, or as per your instructions and will have the run of our bungalow and fenced garden. We would expect to take your dog out on errands and day trips if that is what your dog would like and we live close to the beach and countryside for walks. Our home has no other pets or any children living with us
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Your dog will be part of our family during their stay with us. The bungalow is warm in the winter, with many shady spots in the summer, and the garden fence is high and secure. Your dog will have a permanent designated space for water, food and bed and will be fed on time, according to your instructions. We are very digitally competent and will send you regular photos and written messages. If we are caring for your dog in your home, we will be careful with security and will update you on how they are doing without you. In all cases, we will alert any dog owner to any welfare concerns. We prefer to walk dogs on leads until we are certain your dog has attached to us and will safely return and while we don’t want dogs on our furniture and beds, they get all the cuddles they need when we sit and play with them on the floor. We are happy to discuss any of your concerns.
Prices include all fees.
