Pet care experience
Dogs have always been my passion and I will make sure your dog is loved and cared for. Ours is truly a home-from-home experience where your rules apply. Dogs love staying with us as our reviews testify! I bought my mother (80 years old) a cockerpoo (Sunny) a week before lock-down and trained him for her. He is her special companion now and features in some of my photos. I started my own business during lock down and work from home. My wife was recently made redundant. We go for walks together in the morning and at lunch-time. We can guarantee that your pet will always have company for 100% of their stay with us. The downstairs office opens directly onto the rear garden and your pets will have access to the garden. Being so close to the reservoir and canal gives us a wonderful choice of walks depending on the preference of your dog. I regularly update my diary and can be flexible if you have an urgent requirement. We have a secure 2 acre paddock for dogs that like to have a crazy run with no risks. This is also a great way of giving nervous dogs the chance to have run and explore without any stress. We will walk your dog at least twice a day and are able to use many different routes to keep it interesting.
Reviews
This was Frankie and Mabel’s first stay with Steve and Victoria and I was hoping all would go well but also that because they do have a lot of freedom at home that they may not be able to adapt if needed. However I shouldnt have worried they have had the best time and had so many walks they’ve been treated like family. Steve gave me confidence that he can manage any situation. I’m lucky to have found them 🐶
Steve and Victoria were excellent hosts for my lively terrier. They provided a warm and welcoming home from home for my cheeky little pup, and I could see she would have been happy to stay there forever (if I would allow such a thing!). The sitters have similar high energy levels and positive outlook as my dog, so were matched very well. I felt that having a dog around really added to the enjoyment of their day, it didn’t present any sort of a chore for them. Their house is open plan, perfect for zoomies, and their garden full of interest n good sniffs. I would like to stay there myself, never mind my dog ;)
Jasper had a great day with Steve and Victoria and like other "clients" had to be persuaded it was home time! The photos received during the day showed how settled he was and we would thoroughly recommend Steve and Victoria. Jess
Our first time with Steve and it won't be the last. He took wonderful care of our two dogs and sent me photos and updates regularly. Would highly recommend to anyone (who like me) is very protective of their dogs:)

Our garden is secure with dog lovers each side. It is 100ft long with mature shrubs and trees and is a great place for a quick game of retrieve the ball or find the treat. Your dogs will have the full home from home experience including cuddles and rubs when required.

Information Steve H. would like to know about your pet
It is very important that I understand your dogs, what they like, what they are nervous about, any special treats, favourite rub spots and the things that make them special. I know they will be missing you, so I want to make their time as relaxing and special as possible.
A typical day
We have some wonderful walks in Wendover and if you let me know what your dog loves doing, I will make sure they have great fun. The "wanger" and a bouncy Chuckit ball provides great exercise. Wendover has a canal, fresh water springs and a reservoir so water-loving dogs will be delighted. My garden is a great exploration zone and has lots of nice shady areas to relax.

I work from home and my wife was recently made redundant so we are able to provide your dogs with constant care and companionship. I always choose walks the suit the particular requirements of your pet. Labradors can be treated to 10 miles a day, less active dogs will be taken on several of the shorter walks with plenty of sights and smells to keep them excited and engaged.
