I'm fortunate to have a job which allows me to work from home, so I'm available most of the time apart from the odd day I have to go into the office.

Please let me know if your dog has any specific behaviours/needs I need to know about. I will try my best to accommodate them for you.

A typical day

I love keeping dogs active, both mentally and physically, we’ll play with balls and frisbees outdoors, I also have plenty of indoor activities and enrichment toys to keep them occupied. On walks I always make sure to take them to places with lots of open space, away from busy roads.

Quality care you can trust

Pet care experience

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.

Michael was absolutely fantastic, from the moment I got in contact with him and made the booking he was great, offered for me to meet him prior to the day of the booking. Sent me lots of updates during the day with photos, I will definitely be using Michael again :)

We highly recommend Michael! Joy apparently had a great time with him and was very well looked after while we were away. He kept us updated with messages and photos throughout her stay. It looked like she enjoyed some lovely walks, plenty of attention, and even spent time watching tennis! We’d happily leave Joy with Michael again and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to others 🐶🐾
