Pet care experience

A home away from home

I have always had a dog in my life and have recently retired allowing me to care for others as well as my own Labrador. I have looked after friends and family’s dogs which I have greatly enjoyed, having them as part of the family, going on long walks and cuddling on the sofa at the end of the day. I know how hard it is to find someone to trust to look after your treasured pet while you go away so good communication is essential, I will send regular photos, videos and updates so that you feel envolved and very much part of your pets care. Being retired I have plenty of time to dedicate to your pet, to give them and you the best experience possible.

Thank you to Samantha and her husband. Such welcoming hosts. Georgia was relaxed happy and well cared for. You couldn’t ask for more. Ruby was a fabulous and calm companion.Two bed fox Ted labs together you couldn’t tell one from the other . I felt so confident in leaving Georgia in their care. Hoping they will have her back as it was a mini holiday for her as well as me 😊x

Sam, Tony and their lovely dog Ruby are wonderful. They made Joey so welcome and we felt completely at ease leaving Joey with them. We'll definitely be back and highly recommend

Billy's stay with Samantha, her family and Ruby was exactly want he needed. I was very glad Billy became best buddy with Ruby during his stay and having the two dogs meet each other beforehand made this possible. I also appreciated the many updates on Billy's activities whilst I was on the other side of the world. Being a Border Collie, Billy really needs to run and fetch each day, so the daily walks in the countryside were essential.

Samantha and Tony (and Ruby) took such great care of our Polo. I felt completely at ease the whole time. Sam sent me regular updates and photos which I loved seeing. Polo clearly had a wonderful time and came home happy and relaxed. They’re both really kind people and I’d happily book with them again. Thank you so much ❤️

I would want your pet to treat our home like their home and feel relaxed and happy. In the afternoon we go for a second walk but I can accommodate any routine your pet may have.
