Harbie spent two nights with Mark and we felt confident he was in good hands! Would happily use again. ^_^

Mark looked after my dog really well, gave her lots of attention and a nice long walk. She was very happy on pick up day

Its the 1st time my 2 dogs have stayed with Mark. They settled in really well. Mark sent photos during their stay which is always reassuring. He would look after Shelley and Charlie again. I will have no problem in booking with Mark again.

Schedule

I work mornings from home and every afternoon walk along the seafront where I live, so why not walk with a dog? I'm also very close to Southsea Common and enjoy walking there as well. I can either pick up your dog or it can be dropped off depending on the time.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a walled garden and a house with no carpet on the ground floor - which comes in handy for any accidents! I live on my own but could only house sit at weekends as I work every morning.

A typical day

I love to get out and about so if your dog loves that too, then we'll get on just fine. I normally walk every afternoon either along the beach or perhaps to the countryside - I have no preference.

I really don't mind what type of dog I look after. I especially love all types of gun dog as I've grown up with them and had them as an adult but smaller or larger dogs would suit me fine. The only dog I wouldn't be 100% with looking after is an aggressive dog.
