We honestly could not have asked for anyone better to look after our cocker spaniel, Jess, while we were away. Martin was excellent with her, from start to finish and took such wonderful care of her. It was obvious that she had been everything that she needed, and so much more, with lots of care, attention and affection. Jess is usually very pleased to have us home after we have been away and will sulk for a few days when we get back to make us feel really bad for leaving her. However, for the first time I think she actually enjoyed her time away so much that she wasn't that bothered that we were back! There was no sulking at all. For us, that says everything about how comfortable and content she has been with Martin. We are now considering, for the first time in many years, maybe doing a 2 week holiday. Something we would never have considered in the past as we didn't want to leave Jess for so long. We would recommend Martin to anyone looking for someone they can genuinely trust with their loved pet. Thank you so much Martin, to you and Michelle. Jess clearly had a wonderful holiday too. We are so grateful X

Martin looked after our german shepherd Blue over night, Blue settled straight away like it was home from home. Martin was friendly and made us feel welcome and messaged us throughout the day with updates, would definately recomend to anyone with a large dog and use his services again

Martin took great care of my dog who had been unwell the week before. It was nice to see photos of Paddy on his walks, and lounging on the sofa. There is often mention of separation anxiety dogs experience. However Martin was sensitive to the fact that my separation anxiety was quite severe. I am blessed for having a dog who can make himself at home on any sofa available. 😀 I highly recommend Martin who has years of experience with dogs.

Martin did an incredible job with Frankie He managed Frankie’s high energy perfectly with lots of walks and playtime. Thank you so much for taking care of our dog while we were away on holiday We were able to relax and enjoy ourselves knowing that our dog was being well cared for and loved. They provided frequent, reassuring updates throughout the stay. It gave me complete peace of mind, and I can tell Frankie felt totally safe. 10/10 service!"Treated my pup like one of their own family," "An absolute natural with animals. We will definitely be sending Frankie to there home again. Thank you so much. Both Frankie and I are looking forward to seeing again

I’d never left Wilbur before so was a bit nervous to but oh my goodness were my worries put at ease when I got my ‘pup dates.’ It’s fair to say that my Cocker Spaniel lived his best life at Martin’s house. I cannot thank him enough for taking the best care of him possible. Thank you so very much!
