Pet care experience
Your Dog’s Second Home with Natalie & Marco
We’re a dog-loving duo who have both grown up surrounded by pups of all sizes—from German Shepherds and Collies to a Maremma Sheepdog. That means we’re confident and comfortable caring for everything from bouncy puppies to gentle giants. We regularly dog-sit our family Collie, plus friends’ Collie and Irish Wolfhound, so large, active breeds are no problem. With Marco working from home and Natalie based in the office, your dog will always have company and attention throughout the day. Whether your dog loves a cuddle on the sofa, an energetic run, or a long woodland adventure, we can adapt to their needs.

Ratings and reviews
Marco and Natalie were absolutely brilliant with Lulu. They sent lots of sweet photos and updates, which was really reassuring, and she clearly had a great time with them. She looked completely relaxed and happy throughout, and came back super chilled. Thank you both so much — I’d happily book with you again.
Ralph had a lovely one night stay with Natalie and Marco. They sent tonnes of pictures and updates while he was there. He had some lovely walks and lots of love and attention. We would definitely book to stay again!
Absolutely happy with Marco and Natalie, looked after my Simba very well. Went for walks and was active . Kept us up to date with pics and activities. Well done guys 🙏
Wixi loves staying with Natalie and Marco, they keep you updated with lots of pictures and messages. Will definitely use again.
Natalie and Marco were fantastic looking after Groot. He came back happy and well cared for. He had lots of walks and even on the last night, when Groot was feeling a little off, Marco slept near him to help him settle. Thank you so much for looking after him!
Bonnie has a great time, and got lots of attention and fuss!

Schedule
Dogs are already a big part of our lifestyle. We live in a home with a fully enclosed garden, plus woods and fields right behind us—perfect for walks and off-lead play (when safe and allowed). Natalie is a regular runner and happy to take high-energy pups along, while Marco loves slower strolls and plenty of playtime.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
In our home, dogs are treated like part of the family. They’ll have space to roam, plenty of attention, and lots of exercise. We keep to your pup’s normal schedule with feeding, walks, and routines so they feel comfortable and settled. In your home, we bring the same level of care and consistency, making sure your pet feels safe and loved while you’re away.
A typical day
On weekdays, Marco works from home, so your dog will have company throughout the day, with plenty of garden breaks and attention. Natalie heads out to the office, but lets them out before and after work for extra playtime. On weekends, we have more flexibility—dogs can enjoy running around our fully enclosed garden, a trip to the nearby field, or even join Natalie on a run if they’re up for something more active. We love to keep things varied depending on each dog’s energy level. That could be long woodland walks, field runs, games of fetch in the garden, or a jog alongside Natalie. For pups who prefer a calmer pace, we’re just as happy with cuddles, gentle strolls, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
