About: I have been a dog owner since childhood, some 40+ years. Dogs of all shapes and sizes. Ranging from a Jack Russell to a Great Dane. Having lost our Ellie some months ago, I have a huge hole to fill. Knowing how hard it is to find sitters that can give them the love and attention they need while their mummy's and daddy's are away. I can offer a loving, comfortable home where they will be the centre of attention with lots of cuddles on the sofa, playtime and walks. I have just given up my job to make dog sitting my main priority. So they will have company the whole time they are with us. I have a fully fenced medium size garden. They will have access to the whole downstairs during the day. And may sleep upstairs at night if they prefer. Lots of parks nearby for walks.

About: I have always been surrounded by animals. My house is their house, have been known as the dog whisper as some dogs come to me with little issues but leave without. I give much love, lots of cuddles and lots of walks. Always provide lots of photo's and videos of my doggie lodgers so mum and dad can see them settled and happy. I only work as a doggie day care/boarder so 100% of my time is spent with your fur baby. First priority is always the animals needs. Lots love and cuddles so they are safe in their care. I have a secure garden where the dogs have access to 24-7... There's no where to escape with lots of space to play when not out on walks. I do have facility to cage should this be a requested by the owner. My house is their home whilst in my care. No restrictions, within reason of course, but they gave the run of the house and garden.

“Vishu was fantastic and our dog Phoebe had a great time with him. He responded very quickly to all communications. We were running late for the drop off and he was very flexible and accomodating. We will defiintely use Vishu again. Highly recommended.”
