Pet care experience

Hi! We’re a pet-loving family offering reliable and caring dog sitting and walking services from our spacious home in the heart of Thundersley village, complete with a secure 90ft garden – ideal for outdoor play, exercise, and relaxation. What we offer: * A calm, loving home environment with constant supervision and care by either myself or my husband. * A large, enclosed garden for safe outdoor time and enrichment * Daily walks tailored to your dog’s energy and needs * A peaceful, structured routine with plenty of affection and attention We understand how important it is to know your dog is in safe and in experienced hands – especially when you're away. Whether it's for day care or overnight stays, we make sure each dog feels at home and completely at ease. We’re a husband and wife team with a lifelong love for dogs — and we’re lucky enough to share our lives with two of our own: a gentle 10-year-old Golden Retriever and a playful 1-year-old Cavapoo. Both are kind, friendly, and love meeting new dog friends — just like us! Being around dogs has always been second nature to us. We’ve cared for all kinds of pets over the years including whelping and raising puppies and know how important it is to find someone you can truly trust. Whether it’s long walks, games of fetch, or just keeping your pet company while you’re away, we treat every animal with the same love, patience, and attention we give our own. Pet sitting and dog walking isn’t just something we do — it’s something we love. And we’re here to give your furry family members the care and companionship they deserve. please get in touch to book or arrange a visit. We’d love to meet you and your dog!

Melissa was brilliant with our 6 month old mini-Daschund for the week. Our first time leaving her and couldn’t have been happier with the set up, the communication and, of course, Melissa. Thank you again!
