Availability

I work full time during the week 5.45 - 14.45 Monday to Thursday which means I'm generally back home just before 3. On Fridays I'm back just before 11.00 am so I'm available any time after that. Weekends I'm always free and enjoy doing long bouts of exercise, which I'd love to include your dog in.

Information Michael W. would like to know about your pet

Their daily routines in feeding and exercise as well as rules you'd like me to adhere by whilst they're staying with me. How they are socially with other dogs and people so I know how best to look after them whilst we are out and about. As well as their commands and their recall etc

A typical day

Usually will start the day with a little kick about in the back garden whilst they do their business. Then usually I'll plan a long hike or run around the country side and set out for a fun filled adventure. When we get back it'll just be a chilled day in on the sofa whilst occasionally going out into the back garden.

Pet care experience

My cats will be put upstairs in a locked secure room during your pets stay if need be :) I've looked after my brothers border collie and sisters staffy (separately) on many occasions over the years. I enjoy long runs and hikes with and without dogs, which can be seen on my strava page. I can also send you a strava location beacon so you'll know exactly where me and your loved one are at all times whilst we are out. I know the surrounding area very well and have plenty of different off road routes, short and long to cater for your dogs specific exercise requirements. I always take lots of pictures of the dogs which I upload to my activities and can send to you during your dogs stay.

Michael has looked after our 18 month old staffy and she had a brilliant time. Michael took time to get to know her and her routines and then took her on some lovely walks around the local area. He shared lots of updates as well as a tracking beacon so we could stay up to date. She loved her stay. Would highly recommend

Fantastic service from start to finish. Communication has been great all the way through. Kept updated regularly with pictures of the dogs stay from start to end. Don’t think the dogs wanted to come home they had the best time with long walks in the park and playing ball in the garden. Will certainly to return to use Michael again in the future thank you.

Michael was brilliant with our German Shepherd Akira. We were nervous of leaving her with someone else, but he was so good with her. He gave her plenty of exercise and really clocked on to what she does and doesn’t like. Will definitely use Michael’s services again!

Michael was wonderful, Eowyn loved him! Lots of messages and pictures of our pup while we were away. Shared location when out on walks. Eowyn loved his garden and being able to run. Micheal is super friendly and will definitely arrange for Michael to look after our beast in the future.
