Highlights
Pet care experience
🐾 Experienced Dog Lover Duo 🐶
🐾 About Us Animals have always been a huge part of our lives, and caring for them has never felt like work. We actually met 14 years ago while working together at a boarding kennels and cattery, and we’ve been surrounded by animals ever since. Matthew’s Experience: Matthew has spent his entire working career as a military working dog handler, working with highly trained dogs of all temperaments and energy levels. He’s calm, confident, and experienced with everything from strong working breeds to sensitive, anxious dogs. Laura’s Experience: Laura spent many years working in kennels and catteries, caring for animals from all backgrounds. Nervous rescues, energetic working breeds, elderly pets needing extra support, and shy animals who simply need time and reassurance. We’re confident with all personalities and comfortable administering medications when needed. We understand how important routines, feeding schedules, and one‑to‑one attention are while owners are away, and we always follow your pet’s normal routine to help them feel settled. Our Home Our home is calm, loving, and relaxed, a place where pets can feel safe and part of the family. Whether your dog is playful, anxious, shy, elderly, full of energy, or happiest curled up for cuddles, we’ll make sure they feel comfortable, secure, and cared for like one of our own 🐾

Ratings and reviews
Matthew and Laura have been brilliant from start to finish ⭐️ Our 1 year old Rottweiler stayed with them for 2 nights and they kept us updated regularly and really put us at ease 👌 They are both so knowledgeable with dogs and Matthew even worked on some training with Marty during his stay, which is so crucial at his age and with his breed. I couldn’t recommend them enough, and I trust them fully looking after Marty - thank you so much! 🫶
Well what can I say, I left Ellie with you both and I was not disappointed. You settled my nerves by having multiple meet and greet days before hand, which not only helped me but also helped Ellie. Not that she needed it, as she was settled after a few minutes of meeting you both - which never happens! Whilst I was away for the 2 weeks, you made your home Ellie’s home, kept me updated with texts and pictures and honestly - she looked like she had a better holiday than me. Thanks so much, would 100% reccomend and will 100% use again! Thanks both, you’re both superstars!
Mathew and Laura were fantastic looking after my dog Titus . They are so nice , caring and knowledgable so I felt very safe leaving Titus with them 😀❤️🙏🏼🐕
Bob and Milo really enjoyed there stayed with Matthew and Laura, they had them for one night as i was moving house, they then kept them on for an additional night with no hesitations, i got regular updates with photos and videos of them playing on a field and in a paddling pool! My boys are sulking now that i have brought them home, will 1 million percent be using them again! Thank you!!
Snow had a great time, he really enjoyed his time with them and I’m sure he will be back! ☺️ Really would recommend :)
Riley had an absolutely amazing time and was so well cared for. There was great communication which really put me at ease and I can’t thank these guys enough for his day spent with them !
