Rowan had a great time with William. He was looked after and cared for; walked and played with and every thought was given to his well being. I would highly recommend William as a dog sitter and walker He was totally professional

Harper had her first trial night with Bill and we are so happy it went well. We had great feedback with photos and videos throughout her stay and she looked so happy chasing her ball and playing with Gus. We have now booked another stay for later in the year ☺️

Bill could not have been more helpful, he is very knowledgeable about dogs and makes sure his home is the right fit for your pet. Our boy came home happy and tired after a stay. Would definitely recommend!

Delphi always enjoys her stays at Bills. She is exercised and stimulated in a really considered way. Taken to new places and given chances for exploration. We always appreciate Bill’s updates and knowing how settled and content Delphi is. Thank you

Schedule

In early retirement I care for our 2 year old labrador Gus daily. I’m energetic enough to ensure that Gus is out exercising a minimum of 4 to 5 hours a day, morning and afternoon walks. If this is too much exercise for your dog I can, with the help of my wife, rearrange Gus's exercise routine around your dog’s preferences. Gus is a very social dog and loves the company of other fun loving friendly dogs.

A typical day

I generally take Gus out about 10am to the local trails and fields for a few hours. Gus loves to chase a ball so your dog will have a great time running around and playing. Same in the late afternoon after mealtime.
