Availability

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.

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.

This is the first time we have left our dog so we were anxious about it but Mike was very welcoming and reassuring. He sent us daily updates with photos, our dog Hudson went on lots of long walks. We will definitely rebook.
