Highlights
Pet care experience
I love taking our best friends for walks & coffee.
I grew up with dogs in our family. Along with my wife, we have until recently, owned our own small dog for the last 10 years. Sadly he passed away last year. We often look after our friends dogs and as I am now retired I love taking dogs for walks long or short and sometimes with a coffee at Wendover Woods, Aston Clinton Park. As well as Ashridge and Northchurch Common and from our home to Tring Reservoirs and also from home to Stocks Golf course and to Church Farm Café in Aldbury.

Ratings and reviews
Bailey was looked after extremely well. He had lots of interesting walks and looked happy and relaxed in all the photos Steve sent. Communication with Steve was excellent. I would be delighted to leave Bailey with him again
Archer came home a happy tired dog. Thank you to Steve for taking him for lovely long walks which Archer enjoys. No hesitation in booking Archer in with Steve again and recommending Steve's doggy care services.
Another fabulous holiday for Poppy. Lots of sight seeing, walking, rest and recuperation and lovely garden to explore. Thanks Steve for giving Poppy a lovely time X
Excellent as always. Boo os so happy to stay with Steve
Thanks so much Steve for looking after Slade again. Everything was perfect. Thank you for all the updates and communications. We knew he was enjoying the best week. We love how you know his character so well (but like him anyway !!).
Steve has a lovely space, took plenty of time to get to know our dog and kept in touch through out the visit. Happily recommend

A typical day
I will take dogs to Wendover Woods, Aston Clinton Park, Ashridge and Northchurch Common or Tring Reservoirs. If they are okay off the lead this is good and I can run with them if it safe and they are willing. I also go to dog friendly cafes after / during walk as it's important they mix with other dogs.
- 0 to 7 kg7 to 18 kgSpayed and neutered dogs onlyNo females in heatTakes only 1 client at a timeSteve can host up to 1 pet per night
- I would like to know if your dog is safe with other dogs, and people and children. And if it barks when other people/dogs are close. They have to be house trained. I would mostly take them in the car to the walks (unless it is a home visit and pavements walk) so they should be happy travelling in a car (normally in the footwell or a cage if you prefer and can provide one. Dogs are not allowed on our bed.
