Caring, loving home for your dogs

I have had dogs for most of my life from big to small and know that they are an important part of your family. Having recently lost our 2 border terriers I find myself missing the pleasures of having a dog around the house. I would love to care for your dog during the day when you are unable to do so. I am now retired and have the time to give your dog the attention it needs, from long walks, cuddles and chill time. You can be rest assured that you beloved pet will be looked after.

Doggy Day Care • Mai 04, 2026

Mark & Tim were so accommodating and friendly, and they are clearly dog lovers! They certainly put our mind at ease, as this was our first time using a dog sitter. Our dog had a lovely day and was taken on a nice long walk. Regularly pictures and updates were provided throughout the stay, which was very reassuring. We will definitely be booking again and would highly recommend!

Doggy Day Care • März 22, 2026

It was our first time leaving Sunny with anyone other than family and I was nervous but I wouldn’t hesitate to use Mark again. Excellent communication throughout and Mark and his partner were friendly and welcoming at the first meet and Sunny took to them straight away. I think Sunny kept them on their toes during his stay as he can get a little puppy crazy at times but he seemed relaxed and happy when I collected him.

Doggy Day Care • Jan. 25, 2026

We were a little anxious as our German Shepherd / Border Collie as he can be reactive and picky with the people he likes. He either loves you or wants to eat you. Mark suggested a pre meet and from the moment we stepped into his house we needn't of worried. Dexter instantly made new friends. On the day, Mark sent us pictures to keep us updated and showed us that he was not stressed or miss behaving and looking very chilled and relaxed. Thank you Mark

Safety, trust & environment

I live a large town house with a back garden that the dogs can use, they will have the lounge, utility room and garden at their disposal. I also live 2 minutes away from Connaught Park where I will take them for walks as well as other nearby walks.

A typical day

i Would love to take your dogs out to the local park which is only 2 minutes away from my house. Also taking them around the local areas such as the seafront, parks and woodlands taking in the sites and smell they will love. Lots of chill time in between walks in the lounge with cuddles and relaxation.
