Highlights
Pet care experience
Cliched but true, dogs are a man’s best friend
I have had dogs in various shapes and sizes since I was a child. A Jack Russell that lived to 17, a rescued Great Dane, a beautiful Weimaraner (the love of my life, sadly missed) and now a 3 year old Bedlington terrier. I also work part time at ITFC and have been DBS checked 👍 Unlike other sitters who will take two, three or even four dogs we will only have one guest dog at a time, this means we can give more attention to your dog.

Good to know that Sammy is happy and well cared for - thank you once again Mark!
Bibi had a lovely stay with Mark who Looked after her so well with lots of walks. She loved playing with his dog ! Thank you Mark
I had never used a pet sitter service before and was very nervous about leaving my fur baby with someone I didn't know, however on the first meet with Mark and his lovely dog Ozzy, my little Jug kiera was running around chasing Ozzy in the garden and having the best time. On the day of dropping her off I received a video and photos and she looked like she was having the best time. Lovely walks 2x a day and well taken care of. I will definitely be using Mark again. Thank you
Our Cockerpoo, Charlie, has just spent another week with Mark. As before, he has returned to us a very happy and relaxed boy. Mark also sent us regular updates and pictures while we were away. We will certainly be asking Mark to take care of Charlie when we go away in the future and can’t recommend him highly enough for dog boarding services
Mark and his wife provided a great home for my dog Peggy. The communication was always clear and open and provided plenty of photos and videos to show how Peggy was getting on. I would not hesitate in recommending Mark to anyone looking for a dog sitter.
Hi. Teya had a great stay with Mark and made a new friend in Ozzie! Teya was looked after great and would certainly use Mark again. Lovely to receive the photos

Schedule
I’m now retired and thought I’d try my hand at dog care. We live in a bungalow on the outskirts of Ipswich surrounded by fields and great walks for dogs (on or off the lead). We also have a large garden that is fully fenced in.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I would treat every pet as if it were my own, lots of walks and stimulating play time, I hate to see bored dogs. To encourage good behaviour I set ground rules for my own dog and would expect the guest dog to be able to follow the same simple instructions. This would help to create a calm and relaxed environment.
Pets
A typical day
Early morning and afternoon walks of over an hour each time, play time at home or in garden with soft toys and ball's. Treats given as rewards for good behaviour.
