Home away from home dog boarding and dog walking

Pet care experience

I provide home away from home dog boarding holidays for your best friend/fur baby :) Full dog walking and pet care services offered by experienced trusted professional and animal lover who really cares. I have a lifetime of dog ownership and 6 years of running a professional pet services business, giving me the experience and skills required to provide the care and attention that your dog requires. I have a detailed understanding of all of the best dog walking routes and locations and like to vary these where possible to keep your dog enriched and happy. I have various walking times throughout the day and am happy to discuss what works best for you and your dog. I love to take the time to speak to you and thoroughly understand your dogs needs, whether they require any specific care or if you would like me to use my experience in helping address behaviourial issues.

Steve is professional and very friendly. I felt very comfortable with leaving Marley for the week and can tell he thoroughly enjoyed himself. It’s been a delight and will be organising boarding with him in the future! Thank you very much for making it easy and stress free!

Steve was a brilliant sitter for our boy. We got regular updates, communication was excellent, and most importantly, we could tell our dog really enjoyed his stay. Steve is a genuine dog lover who really does love what he does. Will definitely book again. Thanks again.

Can’t recommend Steve enough and wouldn’t hesitate to ask him to take care of Randall for us again. From the moment I met him I knew he was going to take great care of Randall while we were away and he definitely enjoyed staying with him too! Great communication and some cute pics too while we were away.

Charlie and Chico had a great time at Steve's. He did an amazing job looking after our 2 dogs for 2 weeks while we were away. It was our first time leaving them for so long but Steve kept up updated so we could relax knowing Charlie and Chico were well looked after. They were very excited and very happy during their stay. We will not hesitate to ask Steve again in the future.
