Pet care experience

Quality care you can trust

What I Offer: ✅ One-on-one dog walks or doggy day care ✅ Dropins and House Sitting in your home ✅ All breeds and sizes welcome ✅ Loads of playtime and full attention ✅ Regular photo updates so you never miss a moment A Little About Me: I’m originally from Leicestershire but now live in Farnborough with my partner and our dog Buddy – a playful, affectionate young Black Lab who absolutely loves meeting other dogs. We’ve got our own house with plenty of room to relax indoors, plus a large, secure garden for playing in. I’ve always loved dogs. They’re loyal, they live in the moment and no matter what kind of day you’re having, they’re always happy to see you. I’ve gained experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes and personalities, and every dog is different, so I always take the time to understand their individual needs and routines. Feel free to look through my photos to see some of the amazing dogs I’ve had the pleasure of looking after.

House Sitting • Aug 10, 2026

Michael was great from the moment we made contact. Very quick at responding and friendly. This was the first time using Rover and a first for Bruce being looked after! The pictures we received were great, Bruce was so relaxed and happy, wanting all the belly scratches. Highly recommend Michael and we will be using again.

Drop-In Visits • Jul 28, 2026

We booked 2 home visits with Michael for an afternoon and evening visit. We are beyond grateful to have found Michael - we were looking very last-minute and yet Michael made it possible - and even made sure to meet Nelson (and us) beforehand which really put our minds at ease. It was the first time that Nelson was home alone for an extended period of time, and Michael helped it be a huge success. Nelson seemed calm and content whenever we checked in in between Michael's visits, and the feedback and photos Michael sent us after the visits confirmed this also. We are genuinely beyond grateful and felt that Nelson was in capable hands during the visits. I am sure Nelson can't wait to be left home alone again so that he can see Michael again! :) Thank you, Michael!
