Highlights
Pet care experience
Experienced family home
While our house isn’t huge, we have a secure fenced garden and are very close to a lovely park, so dogs will still get lots of exercise and outdoor time. We know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and we’d treat your dog as one of our own — with love, patience, and plenty of attention.

Ratings and reviews
First time leaving our 14 year old dog with someone other than a relative, so we were obviously anxious. But Michelle, her partner and 2 daughters were so good with Ben (and us) from the second we met them. Great communication, frequent pictures and updates which made us relaxed on holiday. 100% would recommend and will definitely use Michelle and her family again! Ben came home happy and we could tell straight away that he had been looked after as well as he would have at home!
Lovely sitter, very accommodating at short notice. Plenty of photo updates every day, and my two cats took to her right away. Full marks, would happily recommend and use again in the future.
Michelle took such amazing care of Luna during her 3-day stay! Leaving a pet is never easy, but Michelle kept us at ease with frequent updates and pictures. Her daughters were also so sweet and attentive to Luna. She came home happy, and we’ll definitely be booking with Michelle again!
Oggy had a lovely time and I was given lots of regular updates and Michelle even dealt with a small emergency with oggy’s ear bleeding. Michelle did a meet and greet so that helped put me at ease 💚 will be using Michelle again :)
Thank you for taking care of my puppy Lady for me. She’s been a bundle of energy and you’ve kept her busy. I loved seeing her updates out and about and even having a puppy-cino and she come home with two new toys 💕 thanks again xx
Bear had a wonderful stay with Michelle and her family. He was given all the love and attention a dog could dream of. From initial booking to photos during the stay and collection her communication was excellent. We would definitely rebook again. Thank you x

Schedule
We’re a loving family of four who genuinely miss having a dog in our home after sadly losing our beloved dog TJ last year at the age of 15½. TJ was part of our family from puppyhood through to his senior years, so we understand the patience, care, and attention dogs need at every stage of life — especially older dogs who may need extra support and gentleness. In his later years, TJ was blind and unsteady on his feet, so we became very experienced in creating a calm, safe, and comforting environment for him. Caring for him taught our daughters kindness, patience, and how important pets are as family members. Our cat Stanley absolutely adored TJ — they were best friends — and since TJ passed away, Stanley has definitely missed having a dog around the house. Both myself and my partner (Paul) work from home full time, meaning your dog will rarely be left alone and will get plenty of attention, company, cuddles, and toilet breaks throughout the day. We also have two caring daughters aged 10 and 8 who love animals and enjoy helping with walks, playtime, and giving lots of affection.

Safety, trust & environment
We have a fenced back garden that is accessible throughout the day and also live close to Victoria Park which is perfect for walking dogs! For dogs that don't mind car rides, we love taking trips to the beach and will make sure your dog gets plenty of exercise. We will always follow your routine for feeding.
