Rosie had a great time with Mark & Helen as they kindly agreed to have her and her sister, Lily, so they didn’t have to go to separate homes.

I felt very comfortable leaving Lily & Rosie with Mark and his wife and we really appreciated the regular updates and photos they sent whilst we were away. I wouldn’t hesitate to use them again and will recommend them to others.

Mark and Helen looked after Simba as if he were their own dog. We were so happy knowing Simba was being so cared for in every way while we were on holiday. We can't recommend them high enough, we met with Mark and Helen before Simba's stay any worries we had about taking him to stay there were gone completely after chatting with them. Simba's a 10 year old dog set in his ways everything was accommodated with smiles and like it was completely normal. Anyone leaving their dog with Mark and Helen will be as happy as we were. They were fantastic thankyou so much to you both, such a lovely couple xxx

We can highly recommend Mark and Helen. Milly has stayed before, she ran in to greet them like she had never been away, she also didn't give us a second look when we left, we came back to a very content dog. They are lovely people, fantastic sitters, so caring and loving towards Milly, they genuinely love dogs. She is old and is very set in her ways, they understood this and did everything to accommodate her fussy needs. Thank you so very much, see you next time. Lynn and Bill

This stay was great as always! My dog loves staying at their house. I received many updates with photos throughout and I could see my dog was genuinely relaxed and happy. I will definitely be coming back!

Mark is amazing! You can tell Mark and his wife really love dogs and enjoy having them around. His communication was great and he kept me up to date with photos. Not to mention, my dog was so excited to be there. Will be coming back!
