This was our first stay with Steve, and he was absolutely first class. Max was extremely well looked after, and really happy to be there. Steve clearly understands dogs (and their owners!) and was great with updates, and all communication was straightforward and really easy. We'll definitely be going back.

Penny had a great time on her weeks holiday with Steve and little Logan. This was the first time Penny had been looked after since she has been on medication. Steve made sure he followed the routine which was reassuring. She came back well balanced and in good health. We will definitely use Steve again.

Steve looked after my German shepherd for just over a week. She was relaxed and happy when I returned and had obviously had a lovely time. Steve is professional and has a genuine love of animals. He kept me updated with texts and pictures while I was away and generally put me at ease. Would 100% recommend to anyone wishing to leave their pet.

Steve was absolutely amazing with Leo and Kobe, I cannot recommend him highly enough. Both dogs have different temperaments and needs and he was able to adapt to them straight away. Both dogs came back very happy and relaxed after a great week. Really appreciated Steve’s communication and reassurance throughout, thank you, Steve!!
