Highlights
Pet care experience
Caring family that love dogs!
We have helped to take care of dogs for family members and friends for over 10 years. This includes 2 Pugs, a Rottweiler and a 2 Pomeranians. This would be anything from having overnight stays of up to 2 weeks to us just popping round to their homes and taking them out for walkies! I grew up surrounded by dogs and had family dogs ranging from Westies to Alsatians. I also used to walk dogs for my neighbours when I was a child to get some pocket money. We as a family, are considering getting our own dog in the near future and want to spend time with other dogs in our home to see if it would be practical. We have discussed having a dog for a while now and we understand the importance of not rushing into making a quick decision. Our two girls (aged 6 and 9) absolutely love all dogs and have asked for one for the past few years and we feel this experience will help us in reaching a decision.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Sam and his family were exactly what we were looking for to look after our dog. She is used to a busy family and was able to go for walks, relax and play as normal! We would definitely recommend and use again.
Pearl was obviously well looked after and loved by Sam and his family. We would happily leave her with them again. Highly recommend.
Sam is kind and lovely. Milo had been well loved and cared during the days staying with his lovely family. He is a dog lover and walked Milo several times a day. Milo definitely had a great time. I absolutely recommend him.
Sam has always been great with our 2 dogs I have happily left them with him whilst we have gone away on holiday. They are always excited to see him as they know they will be going on great walks & adventures with him.

Schedule
I work from home Monday to Friday in a relaxed role that will give me enough time to play with and walk a dog. Our weekends are very open giving us time to play with and walk a dog as a family. This includes my 2 daughters and my wife.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
We have a fairly large back garden that is fully fenced off. We also have a large kitchen where we would keep the dog mainly.
A typical day
Me and my family will play with them and their favourite toys, indoors and in the garden. We live very close to a large park which we will visit as well as walks in the local area.
