A typical day

I aim to give your dog(s) a home from home experience, full of talking, fun, safety, care and love. As i work from home, the fun can start once they want to play, whether thats throwing a ball, tug of war, whatevers their thing. Lunchtime walk, generally along sea front or woods. Back home for a rest until i finish work which im on hand to play more ball, tug of war or even just have a chat, dogs love being talked to. I believe all dogs need physical and mental stimulation. Im an expert frisbee thrower and still have a bootful of them available. Weekends im free all the time apart from when i go and play squash for an hour so they'll have fun packed weekends.

Pet care experience

I love dogs more than people! Dont worry, im very friendly to people but adore dogs and put them first. I talk to them constantly unless their asleep, i brush them to bond with them. I'm into fitness and calmness so dog walks down the beach is my go to place, theyll love it. I protect dogs in my care so wont let anything happen to them. Ive recently lost my dog and im the perfect fit to give your baby (dog) a great holiday experience. I always say a dogs day is a lot shorter than a humans so make sure every single second of every minute is made as special for them as possible, they deserve the love back they give humans. I promise theyll come back to you with a waggie tail saying thanks mum/dad, can i come again!!!

Stephen was very responsive and flexible. He also provided regular updates during the day. Seemed like my dog had a really good time. Would definitely use Stephen services again.

Stephen looked after our 18 month old Cockerpoo Lottie for just over two weeks. This is the third time we've used him as Lottie really likes him and appears happy and content in his care. Stephen has been personable, flexible and reliable in all our dealings with him.

We were so nervous about leaving our dog as we have only left her with friends before. Steve has been amazing! We met a couple of times and Dora had an overnight stay before her 9 day stay. She is always keen to get to Steve's house and he always makes a fuss of her. He has been so attentive with sticking as close as possible to Dora's routine. She had lots of walks and we got very regular updates which really reassured us and enabled us to enjoy our holiday. Steve genuinely loves dogs and enjoys getting to know each dog properly. We will have no hesitation in asking Steve to help us out again in the future.

Hugo’s second stay, now building up to his first overnight stay to build his confidence away from us even further. Steve is a very knowledgeable dog minder and Hugo is obviously comfortable around Steve.
