Richard and Elaine looked after Alfie well for the weekend friendly couple Alfie had lots of walks he is a very anxious little dogs but did settle well apart from at night time but that's due to him sleeping with us. Would definitely recommend.

This was the first time I have left my dog with someone and needed a home with no other dogs or cats. Richard and his wife were so kind and caring. I would not hesitate to ask again and highly recommend.

Richard and Elaine came to the rescue when another sitter had to cancel two weeks before my trip. I'm so pleased I found them as they looked after Bella really well and made her feel immediately at home and are lovely people. They will definitely be top of my list when I'm next looking for boarding for Bella.

I was very nervous about leaving Toby as it was the first time we had left him. Richard and his wife where so lovely and kind and made me feel at ease. There house was secure and perfect for Toby. They listened to his needs I would definitely use them again.
