“Jack and his wife took such good care of our baby boy Kenzo! They are experienced dog sitters who absolutely know what they are doing and they made sure to make our Kenzo feel comfortable and happy. They also have their own little doggy called Benben who's absolutely lovely and gets on with dogs really well! I couldn't recommend them enough, we will definitely be booking Jack again in the future. Thank you so so much :)”

About: Hello! I grew up in a home full of animals and have always shared a deep love for pets. Over the years, my family has cared for a variety of furry and scaly friends — including our beloved dog who lived a happy 13 years, three rabbits (not at the same time, each living up to 8 years), my dad’s cat, turtles, and fish. We now have a cheeky and sweet Maltipoo named Tofu, who is 1.5 years old. He’s friendly, well-socialised, and loves having other dogs around to play with. We waited a long time to find the right pup for our family, and he’s truly brought us so much joy. Before welcoming Tofu, I often looked after friends’ and colleagues’ dogs while they were away — from long weekends to 3-week holidays. I really enjoy being around dogs and caring for them like they’re part of the family. We’re a household of three: my mum (retired and always home), my partner, and myself. Both my partner and I work from home with flexible hours, so your pet will get plenty of attention throughout the day. We live near a large park and playground where many dogs gather and socialise regularly. Whether your dog prefers playtime with Tofu or some peaceful solo cuddles, we’ll do everything we can to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. Looking forward to meeting your furry friend! Pet care is a natural part of our daily routine. I am the main carer and I am currently on leave until November. My partner and I work from home with flexible schedules, and my retired mum is also at home. This means your dog will always have company, regular walks, playtime, and lots of cuddles throughout the day. Tofu, our Maltipoo, also enjoys a consistent daily routine, so adding a new furry friend fits right in! We have a fully fenced garden and home security measures in place to ensure a safe environment. I always take time to understand each pet’s needs and preferences. I’m happy to handle vet visits, grooming appointments, and light hygiene care like baths if preferred by the owner. Your pet will be treated like part of the family with lots of love, patience, and attention to detail.
