Highlights
Pet care experience
Friendly reliable dog sitting/boarding available
I have always loved dogs and had a dog for many years myself in the past. I’m more than happy to housesit and dog sit for various number of days / nights to give home owners and dog owners a peace of mind and reassurance that everything will be in good hands. I’m confident with dogs, have owned dogs and have looked after many dogs over the years. Dogs that I have “sat” for or “borrowed” in the past are: Labradors, Cockapoos, Cavapoos, miniature schnauzers, dachshund, boxer and beagles I have always enjoyed long walks with dogs, park, beach or countryside, I love being outdoors and I think the dogs enjoy those walks too! Huge animal lover and happy to help where I can really. I give my clients the confidence and assurance that the services and the quality of care I will give to their much loved dog are the absolute best. Accommodation: Your dog enjoys the comfort and care of being in a loving home. We also have a fully secure gated garden. Your dog will have the run of the garden (with supervision of course). We also make sure we replicate your care too. If you use a crate, we’ll use a crate. Bring their bed, their toys, their treats and favourite food, we like them to feel as settled as possible on their holidays too! Exercise: We ensure they have lots of fun playtime and walks and I make sure I provide you with daily “pupdates”! ****** Important Note: A small request I ask, is for photos of the dogs when the booking enquiry is made and always like to arrange a meet and greet before any sitting or boarding takes place. **********

Ratings and reviews
Thank you so much! Barney has clearly been made very welcome and had some super trips and walks out. We were able to have a wonderful weekend away knowing that Barney was safe and happy.

Melissa took very good care of Ruby, she is a kind caring person and we would be happy to leave Ruby in her care again.

We felt very comfortable with Melissa looking after Florence. Melissa took time to have discussions with us before her stay and was very thorough. She took photos and kept in touch throughout the stay and our dog obviously enjoyed the experience. We will certainly want to use Melissa again and would highly recommend her to others.
Melissa and Mat took exceptional care of my westie. In fact she was reluctant to leave. Such great loving and caring people. No hesitation in recommending them. My wee white dog will be back again soon . Thank you J.
We couldn’t have asked for more for Bert & Ernie. They were made to feel welcome and loved. Communication was great and we got a few messages and photos throughout their stay which were lovely and reassuring. They had the fire to themselves (which of course is a must for any self respecting dog) and a lovely long walk in the morning. Will definitely use again and old wholeheartedly recommend.
Superb! Thoroughly recommend Melissa. Charlie had a great time and we were able to go out with total confidence. Many Thanks again
