Availability

I work from home and in my free time, I've made my profile to suit those who need the assurance of a sitter, who cares for & boards only one booking at a time. So you can be assured that I'd be with your Dog all day, for walks, play, & just chilling on my couch with lots of strokes & fuss with no distraction from other pets, or people in a safe, very comfy & Non Smoking home. You can feel safe dropping your Dog here with me & picking them up again, knowing they've had a fun filled, attentive & relaxing time with great company, all day.

Because I take only one dog at a time, I dedicate our day to just us. Regular walks to one of my local parks, or trips out into my large back yard if they can't walk too far.. all mixed with lots of attention & strokes on the couch. My home is doggy safe and not restricted and im only a few steps from being outside if needed.

1 on 1, All Day love & care! a Home away from Home

Pet care experience

Hi! My name is Michael & I have Been a dog parent for most of my life. I have just lost my Frenchie after an incredible 13 years of joy, & so, to fill the void, I've opened my Dog friendly home & all day Dog loving routine to those who need it for their Pup kids to feel safe & looked after, while their parents are away. I take only One Booking at a time, so every Pup kid gets all the attention, love, & all the fuss & care they need, while they're with me, for both short and long term stays. Also, for your own peace of mind while you're away, I send regular updates & photos throughout each day of their stay.

Our dog has had his first stay with Michael and we honestly couldn’t be happier. We have a large dog with quite a long list of needs/requirements and Michael didn’t only meet, but exceeded every single one of our expectations. Our dog was clearly loved and well looked after; and Michael’s confident and calm approach around our dog has really made all the difference. We can’t recommend Michael enough!

Always so happy with how Michael looks after Domino. We love getting all the photos and updates. Domino is clearly very happy and comfortable with Michael. Thank you!

Duke had a great weeks stay with Michael, the weather was very hot and duke was kept really cool with a fan and took on small garden walks. Lots of updates and photos during the stay and he was very happy when we picked him up. Thanks again :)

As ever, Michael was amazing with our dog. Michael had Domino during the recent heat wave. Not only was his home lovely and cool out of the sun, but Michael made sure to walk him well out of the heat of the day and keep him safe. We got loads of lovely pictures and updates and it was clear that Domino relaxes at Michael’s. Thanks so much!
