Pet care experience
Welcoming home from home 🐾🏠🐾
We've owned and cared for friends and family pooches over the past six years, my wife works from home and we treat any of of four legged friends as if they were are own, with lots of care, affection and snuggles. With a country park literally right on our doorstep, your pooches can be assured that they can have as much or as little exercise as they want.

Ratings and reviews
Katie and Mark are a lovely couple with a cute fun dog called Watson. Our 11 month old puppy Leo was eased in well to their household with a couple of visits prior to our weekend away, which was the first time he was away from all of us for more than a few hours. Leo gets on well with Watson and the two of them spending time together has been good for Leo’s confidence and assertiveness as he can be a little submissive with other dogs. Altogether a very positive experience.
Mark and Katie were absolutely fantastic with our Whippet, Blue. From the start, we felt completely confident leaving her in their care. They’re warm, attentive, and clearly adore dogs, treating Blue like one of their own. We really appreciated the updates and photos, which gave us total peace of mind while we were away. Blue had the best time and has become best friends with Watson — it’s so lovely to see how much she enjoys being with them! She came home happy, relaxed, and clearly very well cared for. We wouldn’t hesitate to highly recommend Mark and Katie to anyone looking for amazing dog sitters.
Reggie's Happy Place (aka Mark & Katie's House!) Mark and Katie are truly the best! My cockapoo, Reggie, barely gives me a backwards glance when we arrive because he's too busy dragging me to their door. He is completely obsessed with their wonderful dog, Watson. The two of them have formed the sweetest bond, sharing toys and enjoying adventures in the garden and on walks—it's heartwarming to see how happy they are together. Reggie gets spoiled with cuddles and an endless stream of fun. Mark and Katie are incredibly thoughtful, always sending us lovely updates and photos that prove he's living his best life. He comes home happy, deeply content, and already dreaming of his next stay. Highly, highly recommend! — Gemma (Reggie's Mum)
Mark and Katie are absolutely amazing with our dog! They’re caring, reliable, and treat our pup like their own. We always feel at ease knowing our dog is in such good hands and she’s always so excited to see them and their lovely dog Watson! Couldn’t recommend them more highly.

A typical day
I focus on balancing active play with quality downtime. We'll visit a safe, big park near my home for plenty of activity and exploration. After a satisfying lunch and a long rest, we’ll enjoy gentle indoor play and end the evening with comfortable cuddles and affection, making sure your pet feels completely at ease.
