Pet care experience

Trustworthy and caring. First aid trained. Insured

Fully insured for animal care. Five star review average on Rover. Dog first aid trained. Trusted by owners to look after both their dogs and homes if needed, with a key holder service offered too. References available. I've had my own family spaniel Monty for the past ten years and have helped look after many, many dogs down the years. I'm in my 50s and can offer responsible care for your much-loved animals. I usually have good availability across the week. I can fit in around your schedule across the week, weekends included. We love walking in all the amazing countryside that Berkshire and Surrey have to offer. Our particular favourite local walks include Virginia Water Lake and Sunninghill Park. We have a secure garden which is great for exercise and games and plenty of fresh air.

Safety, trust & environment

We have a fenced garden at home which is safe for dogs to play in. When in your dog's own environment I completely respect everything you say about your house and the environment, especially crucial issues like whether it's a good idea to let your dog off the lead for exercise.

Mike looked after our two Jack Russells this evening and we could not be happier. He gave them their dinner, which they dived into, then lovely games in the garden followed by a little sport on the telly. The dogs were so relaxed and settled with Mike and when we came home, they greeted us and then went straight back to Mike - they clearly had a very good time with him. We shall most definitely be asking Mike to return often. Thank you so much, Mike - very happy dogs, very happy owners!

Dog Walking • May 25, 2025

Mike was absolutely wonderful with Lola. She is a rescue dog and has some anxiety issues. Lola was very pleased to see Mike for the walks and they became buddies. Mike kept me updated on the walks and I felt very confident that he was managing the walks and the collection, drop off and feeds with care and professionalism.

Mike was great - caring, knowledgeable, gained an instant rapport with Freya D. Dog and we had no hesitation leaving her with him in our home. Thank you, Mike.

I couldn’t recommend Mike more highly - he was really responsive, helped us out with a short notice booking and was absolutely brilliant with Coco. Really lovely and genuine person.

Doggy Day Care • May 31, 2024

Mike was fantastic with my nervous little doggie! He was so gentle and calm with her and she took to him right away. Mike took a genuine interest in my dog, what her needs were and how best to care for her while I was away - I felt very reassured leaving her in his care. Mike sent picutres and video updates during the day, of him playing with her and of their lovley long walk. I already have Mike booked again and can't recommend him highly enough!

Schedule

I'm very flexible and, other bookings permitting, I am able to look after your dog/s across the week and at weekends. I can devote the time you need, when you need it. Please note I tend to specialise in one hour walks really, unless your dog is very young or very old. Half an hour won't give a dog what they need!

0 to 7 kg
7 to 18 kg
18 to 45 kg
Mike can host up to 3 drop-ins per day
It's always great to know about key issues like recall and temperament. And what you dog really likes - tickles under the ears? Head massage? And so on...
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
