I can look after a dog any time between 7am and 5 pm ish. I work from home, so we can sit together in my office, have the occasional play in the garden, and then go for a quick walk at lunchtime. In the summer, the dog can hang out in the garden.

Pet care experience

I have looked after around six dogs now, two of which were for several days so I am gaining experience. I don't have my own pets, so this might be useful for people with dogs that don't get on to well with others dogs.

Michael was perfect for Ruby, our rather nervous Huntaway. He was very calm and she seems to have enjoyed her day with him. Michael and I have agreed that she can come again. What more could we ask for? Thank you so much Michael.

Michael was just such a super dog sitter. He calmed down Tilly, who is a little sensitive when left and sent a lovely picture of both dogs fast asleep on his sofa. They were obviously completely relaxed. He had played in his garden with them which they must have loved. He was really kind and flexible about drop off and pick up knowing that I was seeing a play and meeting friends. I would recommend Michael to anyone wanting their dog to be carefully and sensitively looked after.

Michael was very flexible and a responsive communicator. He looked after our dog during the day when we had a long day out with family and were worried about leaving her for too long. We needn’t have worried, she had a lovely time and he was very responsive to her needs. We got her back happy and relaxed, we would book with him again.

Michael has looked after our dog Daphne on multiple occasions. He has always been responsive to messages and has taken excellent care of Daphne! Michael has always been flexible if needed with timings. We've been very grateful for his help, and have no hesitation in recommending Michael to others looking for care for their pets!
