Woodland Walks & Doggie Sleepovers with Nova!
Hi! We’re Mitch and Lauren, a dog loving couple based in Polegate with our playful 1.5 year old pup, Nova. She’s full of love, super sociable, and adores making new four legged friends. We know how important it is to find the right care for your dog, and we’d love to welcome them into our home and routine. Our Routine; We both work a 4-on, 4-off rota, which means there’s just one day every 8 days that we’re completely unavailable, and one night every 8 days where we’re both away. The rest of the time, we’re around and happy to give your pup all the attention, cuddles, and play they need. Daily Life with Us 🌳 One BIG Adventure Walk a Day – usually at Abbotts Wood, where dogs can explore woodland trails, scents, and nature. 🚶♂️ Smaller Walks – around the Cuckoo Trail, perfect for stretching paws and enjoying the fresh air. 🐾 Breaks in Between – plenty of pee/poo breaks and chances to stretch throughout the day. 🐶 Built-in Playmate – Nova loves other dogs and will keep your pup company with games, zoomies, or a nap pile on the sofa. Why Choose Us? Experienced dog owners who understand the balance between fun, exercise, and relaxation. A safe and loving home where your dog will feel like part of the family. Flexible scheduling around our rota so we can provide reliable care most of the time. Lots of woodland walks and nature time... perfect for adventurous pups or if your dog needs to rest we have a spare sofa and far too many dog beds for them to choose from! We’d love to chat with you and set up a meet & greet to see how your dog gets along with Nova.

Ratings and reviews
Excellent care and communication again, always a comfort to leave Balor with Michael and Lauren.
Just booked Gizmo in again with Michael and his wife and for around 10 days this time, and we were not disappointed. The level of care and updates where superb it’s lovely to be able to leave Gizmo with people that take care of him as if he was there own pet. I would not hesitate in booking Gizmo in with them again and hope to do so when we are next away. I think he has had a great holiday as well.
Michael was fantastic and took great care of Leo. He was friendly, reliable, and made sure Leo was happy and well looked after. Would definitely recommend him!
Super friendly and great communicators. Thanks for your professionalism and looking after our Oliver with so much love and care.. 🐾
Fantastic care, really communicative and friendly and Balor left happy and well looked after
Thank you so much for looking after Lucy today! We are so pleased with how today went. Mitch and Lauren are so accommodating and it was lovely to receive photos and updates through the day. Would highly recommend and will definitely be rebooking next time! Thanks again!

Schedule
We both work 4 on, 4 off. So our schedule isn't reliable for a regular 9-5 worker... we can't for example do "Every Monday" but what we can offer is that one or both of us will be here for the other 7 days / 7 nights.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
We live in a flat, this means we have to take our dog out regularly or risk the wrath of Nova's tiny bladder... So we're out with the dog regularly anyway, we take her for a big walk everyday, our dog has a GPS tracker on so we can measure that she gets enough exercise and she always hits her target or beyond. Our flat is filled with dog toys, dog beds and the dog owns the second sofa... and frankly our sofa too. They're welcome everywhere in our flat and will be taken out regularly for adventures!
Pets
A typical day
We love to take the dogs out to Abbots wood alot, or down the cuckoo trail. We love a good playful dog who wants to jump around and chase balls or play with us and their toys, during the summer we enjoy a little paddle when the tides out at the beach. Our mentality is if we keep your dogs active and having fun during the day they can enjoy a relaxing evening well excercised and enjoy a good nights sleep!

What rules do you have in place for your dogs you'd like us to continue with whilst theyre in our care?
