Pet care experience

Loving care in your absence for your dog

We are a retired couple with our own young male golden retriever who have plenty of time on our hands to look after your pet & pamper him or her. Toby our goldie gets on well with all dogs. Before our present dog we had a very lovable goldie called Sam for 14.5 years. We really enjoy walks in the woods and on the beaches . We have a small enclosed secure garden for playing games with our dog and any visitor. We do 3 walks a day with Toby, morning, around lunchtime and evening. All in all we are pretty sure your pet will have an enjoyable time with us and will be most welcome.

Steve and Cathy provided a home form home for our spaniel, after a bad experience using kennels it was great to see her so well cared for and happy, thank you Steve and Cathy.

Five year old Maddie had never been away from us before and we were understandably apprehensive but Steve and Cathy could not have taken better care of her. After our initial meet and greet she dragged me back to their front door and greeted Steve, Cathy and the lovely Toby like long lost friends. She was at home straight away. She went to lots of different parks and cafes and played with her ball and toys. We were kept well informed with lots of pictures which meant that we could relax and enjoy our family wedding. We would not hesitate in recommending Steve and Cathy and Maddie would happily visit them again.

Our Yorkshire terrier could not have been more looked after! I think he had a better time then we did on holiday and really got on with the sitters dog. Steve and his wife were so lovely and welcoming and kept us updated throughout the stay. We would have no hesitation rebooking !

Bryn had a wonderful time with Steve and Cathy and their gorgeous dog, Toby. They were all very kind and caring towards him, which is much appreciated.

They made Indy feel so at home, he came home a very tired and happy boy. I would not hesitate to recommend Steve to anyone wanting a home from home dog care service. I will definitely be using him whenever we need Indy looked after, a lovely home and wonderful caring couple. Thank you very much Steve.
