Thank you to Mike and Sandra for looking after Alfie; he settled immediately as they're both wonderful people, who clearly cared a lot for him. We would have no reservations asking Mike and Sandra to look after Alfie again and would highly recommend as your dog will be home from home 😊

This was coco’s 2nd visit because the 1st time went so smoothly! I felt much more relaxed packing to go on holiday knowing coco was going back to stay with Michael and Sandra. They were excellent at sending photos and updates of coco. I never felt like I was checking my phone quite so much for updates this time because I knew she would be very well looked after and relaxed. When coco came home, she was happy, healthy … just like she never left. Thank you both so much again for taking great care of our coco. We’ve already booked for a trip later in the year.

Mike and Sandra are very kind, calm and caring dog sitters. We were a bit nervous about leaving our elderly rescue dogs, but we needn’t have worried, they were happy and settled. We received photos and updates, which was so reassuring. I cannot recommend Mike and Sandra highly enough.

Michael and Sandra are the best dog sitters we have ever experienced! Our frenchie stayed with them for 7 nights and I couldn’t have been happier with the experience. I was nervous because our dog is very anxious around other dogs and barks at anything that overstimulates her, and therefore is not everyone’s cup of tea, but she was right at home here. We were regularly kept up to date with photos and messages which put me at ease from day 1. Sandra and Michael themselves are lovely people and so we knew our dog would be taken very good care of, which she certainly was. We have already booked another stay this summer and will hopefully proceed with more bookings as and when. Thank you so much. 10/10!

Fi had a lovely stay with Michael. He did everything to ensure that Fi was as comfortable as possible and made sure that Fi's meal times were exactly as they were at home. He sent me beautiful photos of Fi daily and I could see how happy my girl was enjoying her stay. I can't thank him and Sandra enough. Your 4 legged friends will be well looked after during their stay.

Safety, trust & environment

When looking after friends and family’s pets, we look after them exactly as they would be in their own homes. Although we don’t have a garden, we have access to lots of green space and good walks for exercise.

A typical day

Your pet will be excercised just as at home in an area with many open green spaces and woodland. Indoors they will be treated as one of the family. We aim to make your pet as comfortable and content as possible to minimise the potential for missing you.
