Pet care experience

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 🙏

Polo was really excited to go back for another stay with Mark. Mark kindly helped me out at short notice. He looked after Polo very well and kept me updated throughout as always.

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
