Pet care experience

I will care for your pup as you do.

Dogs have been an important part of our family over the last 40 years. Our current duo of dogs consists of our elderly matron Elise age 11 and Bella who is 4. 3 years ago we lost Sammy who had been ill for several years so I am accustomed to caring for senior dogs with ailments. I exclusively care for pups from one family only at a time, whether you have one or 3. I happily welcome friendly and sociable dogs up to 60 pounds.

Safety, trust & environment

My primary focus is to ensure the pup's routine is unchanged from when you are home with them. Schedules and routines are strictly adhered to from feeding to walks and sleep time. Mental as well as physical exercise is stressed, including up to 2 walks a day. Finally special dietary needs are strictly observed including types of treats.

Mike was fantastic! He took great care of my dog for the day while we were away. He was very attentive and made sure she was happy and well-fed. I highly recommend him and will definitely book again!

Before agreeing to do drop in visits, it's important I meet with you and your pup{s} to ensure compatibility. I will take notes to ensure I provide the same experience they are familiar with when you are home with them. Your dogs will receive my exclusive attention while you are gone. I will only be taking care of your pups.
