Highlights
Pet care experience
I don't like cringy headlines but I do like dogs
I have had pet dogs since the age of four. I would love to have my own but due to my working hours during the week, I wouldn't feel happy leaving them alone. However, I regularly dog sit for my relative's border collie (Nell) and Stan the school dog. My house backs onto a public field and dog walking track to woodland trails. An ideal location.

Ratings and reviews
Mark really loved having Penny stay, and that makes a big difference. She came home very happy. Thank you!
Mark did a great job looking after my 2 dogs this weekend. I really appreciated the regular updates and photos he sent, which kept my mind at ease. My only piece of feedback is regarding the drop-off; Mark was headed out the door as I arrived, which felt a bit rushed and left me a little uneasy about them being left alone immediately. However, the dogs seemed happy and well-cared for upon my return.
Absolutely lovely guy, was amazing with my 2 boys, as one has a little separation anxiety, thanks again
Captain and Luca had a great time with Mark. Both were very happy when we picked them up.
Zara had a wonderful time staying with Mark. She seemed very at home with him. Thanks Mark! ☺️
Mark was great with Otis, thank you!

Schedule
I work full time but, as a teacher, am available most weekends as well as school holidays. Since I live near woodland and public parks, taking dogs for walks is simple.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have a fully fenced, large back garden for dogs to play in during the day and whilst my home is cosy it has enough room for medium sized dogs to get around easily.
Pets
A typical day
There is a large enclosed garden for pets to play in. I usually take dogs into the public field behind my house or down to the brook where they can explore the woods and splash about in the water.
