As ever make and Sandra have been fantastic at looking after Coco. The communication has been perfect and we were sent updates and photos throughout the day. Coco needs to be administered with frequent eyedrops, and this was no problem.

Thank you Michael & Sandra for looking after Tia . You are her 2nd best hoomans! She loves all the attention you both give her and of course your laps to sleep on. We are so grateful to you both and feel very comfortable leaving Tia in your home, thank you once again

My Papillon Harriet stayed with Michael for 9 days while we were abroad - she came back happy, healthy, and full of energy! Would definitely book again in future! 😊

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.

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.
