Your dog, our family <3

Pet care experience

Welcome to our pet lover family! We are a family of 4, Angelika, Robert, 3 years old Alice and Biscuit, the world`s best Labrador. We have always loved dogs, my wife and I used to have dogs as pets at home since we were children, and always have dreamed about having our own dog once we grow up. We do believe that every dog deserves a loving family, unlimited cuddles, treats as much they can eat in one go, and a cosy place to put their fluffy heads down after a day full of fun. Our dog is part of the family, so we understand the concerns of other people when it comes to leaving their beloved dog with someone else they don’t know. Therefore we always feel honoured if someone puts their trust in us, and we do our best at all times to make the time away as ease and fun as possible, both for the dogs and their owners, by regular updates, quick response and friendly approach. Before you decide anything, we are always happy to arrange a meet and greet so this would help us to introduce each other and to show you our home that is suited for your dog. It is also a great opportunity for us to get to know your pet, go through the basic information you find important to let us know, such as the daily routine, preferred activities and special needs.

Leaving your dog with people is always a difficult decision as you love them like one of your children. However, when we first went to see Robert and Angelika (not forgetting Alice and Biscuit the Labrador), we immediately knew they would look after Benji very well. Benji is an 11 1/2 year old Alsatian cross and we have had him since he was rescued at around 6 month old. He means a lot to us. We left Benji for just over a week while we went abroad and he could not have been looked after any more lovingly than by Robert and Angelika. He went for lots of walks, had lots of play and was treated like he was their own dog. We got daily videos and pictures showing Benji out and about and playing in the house. While we were away, Benji needed a trip to the vet and Robert took care of this - even going to Benji’s usual vet. Thank You again. We will be in contact when we book our next break.

Rob,Angelika,Alice & Biscuit are an amazing family. They are extremely caring and kind and our dog was looked after so well, we really couldn’t have asked for a better home from home. We had a whats app group and lots of photos and messages so we could see what a good time he was having. Lots of lovely walks and playtime and love from all the family. Biscuit is a lovely calm friendly dog. I’m sure Roo is missing him and their time together. We thank you so much for your dedication and kindness. We would not hesitate to recommend you to anyone.

They are the most incredible dog sitter in the world , my dogie have a long stay in their house about 3 weeks and he don't want to go back to his original home after this 3 weeks , my dog love them so much and he have a big brother biscuit to play and walk with him , my dog love to play with their daughter as well , they took my dogie to go for a walk twice a day and my dog sonny saw a horse for the first time and they bought him to different place for a walk like rivers or some forest park ,they are very very impressive , definitely gonna use them again , as a long term dog sitter .I highly recommend this dog sitter to anyone who needs a reliable and caring person to look after their furry friend. They took great care of my dog, Impressive, while I was away for a week. They sent me regular updates and photos of Impressive’s activities, such as walks, playtime, and cuddles. They also followed all the instructions I gave them regarding Impressive’s diet, Impressive sonny looked happy and healthy when I came back, and I could tell he had a lot of fun with his sitter. Thank you so much for your wonderful service!

Information Robert K. would like to know about your pet

Behaviour: good with other dogs? Good with small children? Neutered/spayed or not? Does the dog need any special treatment? The dogs daily routine. Any allergy to food? Please note our male dog is not neutered, therefore we are not able to board female unspayed dogs. Our capacity: however the application says we accept dogs up to 45kg, we can not accept dogs over 30kg. Normally we board 1 dog at the time, but if 2 dogs are coming from the same household, we can make exception, and they are both welcome. However we can't take 2x 30kg dogs, if there is more than 1 dog you are looking to board, then we can accept 15-20kg max each dog. These are for our 2 year old daughter security and also it fits the best for our phisical capacity too, this is how we can promise you the best care for your beloved dogs.

A typical day

We would never miss a good fun, exercise, fetch, tag, wrestle or anything that your dog is up to and you approve. Every dog is different, so once we get to know yours, we will make sure your dog will stick with the normal daily routines to feel more comfortable and relaxed.

My wife and I are working in different shift patterns, therefore at least one of us is always at home with the dogs. I am working at nights, when I get back home in the morning, I am looking after the dogs, feeding them, and taking them for their first walk at some point in the morning, and supervising that everyone at home is having fun :) My wife works from morning until afternoon, once she finished and she is back home, she is taking over and taking the doggies for their second walk, and providing the fun for the rest of the day.
