My partner and I will love them like our own! 🐾

Pet care experience

I've looked after and cared for my family's 3 dogs for over 16 years and had another addition in August 2022, a miniature dachshund called Rolo. From Chalkies to Labradors we have personal and professional experience working with various dog breeds and have an endless amount of love and patience for any shape, size, age or temperament. I believe pets should be treated with affection and a high level of care when their owners are otherwise occupied at times! My partner and I are currently both working from home and have so much time to be attentive and playful throughout the day! Meaning we can make it our priority that your four legged best friend receives the best care and attention possible. We are available for boarding Monday-Sunday at anytime. As well as weekly walks/drop ins with availability all day. Drop us a message or check our calendar for availability! We have a cornered section 1 minute from our apartment that is an outside play area that is always busy with a varied number of dog owners in my building. There is also a lovely and spacious park 2 minutes from where we live, which is fenced and has a lovely patch of grass to play catch or for walking leisure. It's also never short of friendly dogs that love to make new friends. We are also active adventurers who love long and short walks, always looking to discover and explore new places. We always encourage a meet up prior to the booking to ensure that everything is covered for your pet's needs. If there is a specific routine to follow for your pet such as feeding schedules, dietary restrictions, exercise routines, sociability with other dogs and anything else you may feel important, then we would be more than happy to accommodate that. We are also fully insured with Pet Business Insurance, DBS checked and hold certification in Pet First Aid.

Very happy to have Robert as Oscar’s dog walker and sitter. He’s very reliable and thoughtful. And Oscar always seems thrilled to go and stay with him and Lauren. It’s nice not to worry when we go away travelling - even though this was quite a long trip - I know that Oscar is in safe hands and having a lovely time. I very much recommend!

Robert and his partner have been fantastic with Cookie. They're always very responsive, and give Cookie so much care and love. She is always so excited to stay with them every time. Would highly recommend anyone looking for a reliable and trustworthy dog sitter.

Amazing as always. The best sitters I’ve used on Rover - really helpful, warm and friendly.

Robert and his partner were great. Ally was looked after really well and clearly loved going on the walks with them. I think she missed them when I took her for her walk last night.

Safety, trust & environment

We live in an apartment that is spacious, clean and can accommodate up to two medium sized dogs. As mentioned above, there's also an outdoor communal area specifically for those with pets for space to run around and do their business. However we do prefer to take them to the local park. Included in the price of any of our services we provide various toys, treats (unless not suitable), poo bags, dog bed/blankets, towels, leads, first aid kit and extra dog bowls. However we always welcome owners to bring their dog's favourite toy and treat as a little something to make your pet feel more at home! We also ensure to keep a clear and updated channel of communication with every owner, especially keeping up a constant stream of photos and videos to keep your mind at peace whilst you are away.

Information Robert W. would like to know about your pet

We ask that all pet owners let us know of anything their pooch may be wary/anxious of, such as loud noises, children, cats/other animals. This will allow us to select areas where we believe your dog would thrive and enjoy the most when out for walks or in public areas. Also, it would be good to know if there are any special requirements we need to be made aware of, whether that be dietary, medically or physically so we can be extra attentive.

A typical day

We thoroughly enjoy entertaining any type of dog, whether that be with a toy, throw of a ball or just a simple chase. We'll have endless amounts of fun until they pass out in their bed from exhaustion! So please feel free to let us know of anything your dog gets particularly excited about or any tricks they know. There are plenty of parks nearby where they can socialise and familiarise themselves with the new surrounding environment, they will be absolutely spoilt with plenty of attention, belly rubs and treats. We occasionally take a trip to my dads when boarding at the weekends where we have Freddie (Chorkie) and Rolo (Mini Daschund) for your dog(s) to have a real fun play date out a very big and spacious back garden.

Availability

We are fully flexible throughout the week for plenty of walks, cuddles, lots of playtime and the occasional chilling out on the couch with belly rubs. The weekends allow us a lot more freedom, so the likelihood of a long walk in the woods is high, or there are endless indoor activities that could fill our time easily enough! We always ensure to make most of the time over the weekend to be more adventurous and you can be assured that when you pick your pet up they will have had a fun filled, tail wagging, relaxing and attentive time with great company all day. We also would never leave your dog alone in the evenings/night, there is always one of us in the apartment, so they will always have our full attention.
