Pet care experience

Gotta love doggie cuddles!

( Prefered name Mark) I grew up with spaniels and labs. My wife Sally grew up with various breeds including labs, cairn terriers and Heinz 57’s! We had our own lab from an 8 week pup. So we are very aware of their habits, good and bad! We have recently during lockdown fostered 4 different pooches, given respite care to badly abused rescue doggies, and have been helping bottle feed puppies, walk dogs and muck out kennels for the Humane Society in the British Virgin Islands where we worked for 20 years. Now retired. We are in our home in the beautiful Warwickshire countryside, with excellent dog walking from our back door on bridleways, footpaths and farmland. Happy to take dogs on short or longer walks. We like to hike and loooove the companionship of a doggie while out in the countryside and in our home. We would love to but are unable to commit to a full time pooch ourselves so love looking after other peoples when we can!

Mark and Sally-Ann are fantastic! My Labrador loves going to stay with them and their Spaniel and gets very excited when we pull up on their street to drop him off. He is a quirky boy with a few peculiar traits and they completely get him which is brilliant. We always receive regular photo & video updates via the app throughout his stay so we know he’s having a fab time and living his best life. Would 100% recommend!

Our sprocker Coco loves going to stay with Mark and Sally! She’s very lively and has anxiety so needs extra love and attention which is exactly what she gets. We haven’t ever felt comfortable leaving our dog until we came across them and can’t imagine leaving her with anyone else. We get lots of updates and pictures so we know she is happy and never have to worry. My only concern is that Coco might actually prefer being with them than being at home 😂 highly recommend

If I could give 6 stars, I would! Raja had a great time and was exhausted at the end of the day

Our dog Scamp had the most fantastic time staying with Mark and Sally-Ann. As soon as he met them at the meet and greet he loved them, which is always a great sign! Whilst staying he went on long walks and they took him swimming (his favourite thing ever!) and he was treated like a member of their family which we were so grateful for. We received regular updates and photos and never worried about him once, we had total peace of mind leaving him with Mark and Sally-Ann and would recommend them to anyone.

Safety, trust & environment

We have a safe fenced garden. Not fussy about pooches on the furniture. Who doesn’t like doggy cuddles on the sofa in the evening! Looove to take them on long walks in the morning and a shorter walk in the evening. Happy to assist with basic training for younger ones. With owner’s permission have taken doggies with us in our Motorhome too! Enjoy some play too with their favourite toys or a ball. Happy to administer meds if required.
