Dog’s and cats are welcome on the furniture. We live in a “pets are part of the family” home. I have 3 large bedrooms and a big living room for everyone to have their own space. It’s not common when anyone is left alone. If kennelling is a requirement, this can be accommodated.

Information Robert Y. would like to know about your pet

It is important that you communicate your dog(s)/cat(s) needs and behaviours ahead of time. In particular I would like to know how they are with other dogs/cats.

A typical day

We do at least 3 walks a day, Fido and Simba ensure there are countless hours of play time. We have a big basket of toys that are for the taking, and a large yard to run around or play fetch!

Pet care experience

I work from home full time and my partner Bailey works 3 days a week (12 hour shifts), giving us plenty of time to spend with your furry friends! We have 2 dog’s (Fido and Simba), and 2 cats (Mango and Lilly), and we would love to welcome more 4 legged friends in to our home. We believe that our pets are family and are treated as such. We have a big fenced yard for the dog’s to play and plenty of toys inside for rainy days! We love taking our dog’s for walks, hikes, and swimming(if the weather permits) and would love to share this with your furry friends as well! Additionally, I have spent many years in animal rescue and am experienced to having a full house of foster animals.

Robert went the extra mile to accommodate us this time even though he was going away himself. So much appreciated. My dog loves going there - she would walk there herself if she could.

Robert looked after our two dogs and did an amazing job. He communicated while we were gone and when the dogs returned home they were happy and tired from exercise…and clean! We really appreciate the excellent care.

Nandi had a great time staying with the Robert as always. I get back my dog happy and just the same as I left her there Seems she has a holiday of her own.

If you want your dog to be absolutely spoiled while you're away. Look no further! I recieved so many photos, and my boy was obviously so happy. I'm sure he didn't even notice i was gone! Thank you so much
