A home from home experience for your furry friends

Pet care experience

I have always loved dogs and do anything possible to engage with dog walkers to get a little fussing in. Combining my love of dogs and an outdoor lifestyle, I only take one dog at a time so I am able to offer your four legged friends a home from home experience when you are busy and feel extremely privileged to be able to spend quality time with them. I have recently started the next chapter of my working life which includes working from home, but will fully commit to looking after your dog as if it was my own, giving them all the love and exercise they need. I live within easy access of a country park and numerous interesting walks to engage your dog mentally as well as physically. Being a keen runner means I can cater for the most active of dogs as well as those that just want some fresh air and some love. I always arrange a meet and greet to find out more about your dog's individual needs and insist on a daycare booking before any overnight stay to make sure the dog feels comfortable with us as well as wanting all owners to feel confident that your dog is in safe hands. They will be treated like one of the family, so much so that I might not give them back! I am DBS checked from my rugby coaching background and live with my wife and teenage son who share my love for dogs as well as the rest of my family who usually pop round when I have a dog to say hi, so there will always be someone on hand for extra cuddles. I also provide a drop in service along with dog walking and have proper seatbelt restraints should you need them collecting at all. Please reach out if you have any questions and I hope to hear from you soon and find out more about your amazing dog.

So we finally had our family holiday, and after 2 trial sessions with Stephen and his family Boomer was ready to stay and I cannot thank them enough ! He was spoiled rotten, looked after so well and we were sent photos and updates every day. In the extreme heatwave we had Boomer was walked very early and very late at night so he napped through the day. His care was second to none and We can’t thank Steve and his family enough for their care. Boomer is only just talking to us again 🤣🤣

Molly has a great first overnight stay with Steve, she settled well and seemed to enjoy herself. Was great to get plenty of updates and photos from Steve, which really helps to put your mind at rest!

Stephen looked after our Cane Corso Trevor for a long weekend. Trev settled in well with Stephen and Mel, and was well looked after. Stephen kept us updated throughout the stay, sending some lovely photos. We would highly recommend. Thank you Stephen!

We cannot recommend Stephen & Mel highly enough! We have a retriever / Rottweiler / staffy cross male who is 9 1/2 .. as he is now more senior he is not very keen on other dogs, he is very strong and also anxious when separated from us. I work from home so he is used to having company all day. To say we had a list of “needs” from a dog sitter is an understatement ? But we found our perfect match! From first meeting to his first stay the communication, care & compassion has been amazing. Boomer settled and was clearly well looked after. We can finally go on holiday with our family knowing he is in good hands.

As I work from home it is important that your dog is happy to chill out inbetween exercise and playtime so I can work. However be reassured that I will always make time for a little fussing!

A typical day

I live near a country park with wooded areas so they can get their zoomies in or explore all the exciting smells and engage their minds as well as their bodies.
