Lifelong dog owner, all ages/sizes.
I’ve had dogs since I was a teen ager. I have house trained several along the way, and have experience with older dogs as well.

Ratings and reviews
Absolutely brilliant experience. They really put my worries to rest and Heidi had a lovely time!
We met Mike before our holiday to ensure our dog was familiar with him and the surroundings. We found Mike and his family to be lovely, they cared for Fozzy like he was their own and made him feel safe. He settled in easily. We got updates regularly on how he was doing. I would 100% recommend Mike and will definitely be checking Fozzy in for future holidays!
Biscuit and Toby we're super excited to go into Michael's house, and loved staying there for the week. They get plenty of walks and love from his family.
Finn loved his time with Michael.
Fantastic! First time leaving our girl with “strangers”. Mike, Sally and Rose were all amazing. They clearly all love dogs, and this came across very clearly. I would not hesitate to ask Mike and family to look after Harper again. I can’t stress enough just how great this experience has been. There was a few challenges with Harper, but Mike and his lovely family took them in their stride and gave Harper a loving home away from home. 100% recommend. If Mike will have Harper again, I’d book in a heartbeat.
Lovely man and family. Dogs loved meeting them all and were super excited to go back to their house.

Schedule
I am retired after 52 years in financial services. My day is comprised of trips to the gym and the markets as I am the chef of the house. Until recently this included looking after Alice, our beloved Boston Terrier who passed away a few months ago at 15. I enjoy all aspects of dog care, and have had several dogs over the years including a Chow and a Shepard/Husky cross you I’m quite comfortable with any size dog.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I live in a large house with a fenced back yard. I’m a short walk from several prime dog walking areas here in Bolton, and I also drive if a chosen location for your dog is required.
A typical day
I love playtime with dogs. As each dog is unique I’m prepared to provide whatever your dog enjoys as this is not a one approach that fits all. High energy or docile is fine.
