Pet care experience

Flexible and dependable pet owners ready to help

Historically, I've had about 12 years experience with dogs. I used to foster lots of different breeds in a loving home. I had dogs come to me with all kinds of issues I helped them overcome them and equipped them to settle into a loving forever home. My partner of three years had two elderly rescues when we met, one has dementia (Harvey) and one had aggression issues (we lost Dudley in September). I helped with their care from the beginning and gained both of their trust and love. I live a very dog friendly home. A ground floor flat with enclosed back outside area, opposite a park. I live in a very dog friendly area with many dog friendly facilities nearby. I am trustworthy, caring and intuitive in my interactions with canines. I hope to make a career from boarding/walking/caring for canines, what could be better than to make a living out of something I love. My partner and I aren't ready for a new permanent dog after losing Dudley, so boarding is win win for us and update losing our beloved harvey rip fly with the angels rip dudley and harvey 🙏

Mark and Donna have had Ziggy for 8 nights and I can tell how much they have loved having him and taken such good care of him. I would not hesitate to book with them again

Both Honey and Harmony seem to have had a wonderful time and neither of them seem at all stressed. Would certainly use Mark and Donna again.

From the moment that Elton met Mark and Donna we knew he would be happy. They are both so kind and caring and it is obvious that they adore dogs. I was sent a photo of Elton every day whilst we were away and videos of him playing with the other doggies too. He was having a whale of a time so this really reassured us! He had trips out in the car for nice walks and was even treated to a new toy that he chose himself and a sneaky piece of fish too! He has come back to us looking relaxed, happy and healthy and that's all that we had hoped for. We would DEFINITELY leave Elton with them both again, without any hesitation and would recommend them to anyone. They really are lovely, down to Earth, caring people. Elton loved them both. 😃 Fantastic, positive stay.

Ziggy has loved his stays with Mark. I get regular updates and it’s clear how much Mark loves dogs.

1st time I’ve left my fur baby as she’s 14 months old. Mark was exceptional and took such great care of Roxy giving her daily medication too. Roxy loved being with Mark & his partner and she enjoyed playing with the other fury lodgers. I was kept well updated with photos and videos. It was a huge relief to be able to relax and enjoy my time away knowing Roxy was enjoying her time away too! Thank you so much. Roxy would love to return again soon! Highly recommend
