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 🙏

Doggy Day Care • Sep 17, 2026

We were down on holiday and wanting to go out for the day where dogs weren’t allowed Mark was responsive, super easy to communicate with and very calm and welcoming to Monty Monty had a great time. Came back very chilled and quiet and i had photos and videos of him during his sit. Would definitely book again if down this way Thank you

Doggy Day Care • Sep 17, 2026

I had such a lovely experience with Mark looking after my dogs. It was really reassuring knowing they were in such kind and caring hands while I was away, and I really appreciated the care and attention he gave them. Everything went smoothly and communication was great throughout. The handover was a little rushed, but Mark was very apologetic about it, which I appreciated. Overall, I was really happy with the experience and would absolutely feel comfortable having Mark look after my dogs again. Thank you so much, Mark, for taking such good care of my two! 🐾❤️
