Highlights
Pet care experience
Walk, Sit and Wag!
Hi! I'm Mark and caring for animals is a lifelong passion. We very sadly lost our 2 year old German shepherd shepherd 2 years ago I'm now ready to continue my care for dogs through the service of walking and sitting and boarding I understand the importance of how important to find someone you can trust with your pet. Whether they need long walks, stimulation, down time or a little extra patience and care, I'm here to provide a safe, fun and stress free experience for you and your dog! Through my last two years of caring for a large dog with special needs and an appetite for high energy, I'm capable of caring for a whole range of dogs and their specific needs. I have a fully fenced and gated garden for play, surrounded by plenty of countryside with fantastic walks along with plenty of space inside for stays. Will prioritise safety, consistency and communication in order for both owner and pets feel confident and comfortable.

Thanks Mark, Monty has bounced home after hanging at yours today. Thanks for being super responsive and friendly!! Helpful having the feedback about Monty’s response to cats :-)
Ziggy had a great stay with Mark, I felt really relaxed and reassured with regular updates and photos from him. The planning and communication was quick and easy and I’d be more than happy for Ziggy to stay with Mark again in the future! Thank you!
Mark P. cancelled a booking within a day of the start date.
Mark was great with our dog and sent us regular updates on how Jack was doing. Jack came home very calm and relaxed and obviously had a nice time. We will definitely be using Mark again
Mark & family all lovely with a lovely home. Andie our dog spent a couple of days with him and was so excited about day two we didn't even get to say goodbye. Made it much easier to go to work knowing she was in such safe hands.
A big thank you to Mark and family. We couldn’t be happier with the care Benji received. They are so patient, kind, and genuinely passionate they are about furry tails. They understood Benji’s routine, quirks, and favourite activities, and kept us updated with messages and adorable photos throughout the stay. Benji was clearly well-loved. We were such peace of mind knowing he was with a lovely family. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and professional dog minder. We’ll definitely be booking again!

Schedule
Pet care is a priority in my daily schedule, I'm available for morning, afternoon and evening walks, as well as drop in visits. I have great flexibility within my job that allows me to accommodate a variety of time frames. Consistency is the key for pets, striving for regular routines, whether its a daily midday walk or extended care while you are away. Living in a family environment with a great passion for the great outdoors, to provide the correct level of care and stimulation.

Safety, trust & environment
A pets safety and well being are always my top prioities. I will closely follow any specific instructions, from lead handling, feeding routines or any medical needs. I strive to create a calm and positive environment where pets can feel comfortable and at ease. Building trust with the owner and pet is essential, will maintain regular updates and open communication, your dog will be treated with the same respect and affection I would provide as my own.
A typical day
Outside of walking I believe in stimulation and playtime whether that be catch, tug of war and seek and find I aim to keep them busy!
