“This is the second time that Richard has looked after Florence, our Bearded collie, and on both occasions Richard has been superb. From dropping off to the updates and picking up, it is seamless-Florence seems to enjoy her stays with Richard and his family, including his 2 dogs. I couldn’t recommend Richard highly enough!”
“Bruno loved his stay, we were sent plenty of photos and videos during his stay and the communication was great. If you’re looking for a lovely family, with a lovely home to look after your dog, then Kwan is the one. Thank you so much!”
“We couldn’t have asked for better people to look after our dog Watson for an overnight stay. Karen and Trevor are incredibly warm and caring — Watson was clearly in the best hands and felt right at home with them. They kept us updated with lovely photos throughout his stay and even gave us a ride to the train station, which was so thoughtful. We would absolutely leave our dog with them again without hesitation. Thank you for everything!”
“Ruby stayed with Bruna for 17 days, and every day she sent me photos and videos, and I saw that Ruby was very happy to be with her. I was relieved to leave her all those days with Bruna and her family. I intend to leave Ruby with her more often! I highly recommend her! 10 ⭐️”

“Nicola and Rebecca were absolutely great hosts for our little Lenny. He is only a pup so we were very nervous about leaving him for the first time. They kept in constant contact with photos and updates which kept our mind at ease and showed us how much fun Lenny was having but importantly how well looked after he was. Thanks again Nicola and Rebecca, Lenny had a great time.”
“Michael was brilliant, and the best care I've had for my dog yet! He and his family truly love dogs and that is reflected in the care they provided. Communication before and during the stay was brilliant and I could tell on pick up how comfortable my dog was with them. I would book again in a heartbeat!”
“Samantha, Oli and Hugo have been amazing with Rio. He has loved his time with them and found a new little best friend in Hugo. The have a beautiful home and Rio was welcomed as one of their own. We have been regularly updated with photos throughout our holiday, and wouldn’t hesitate to book again. Thank you!”
About: I’ve always been around dogs, either having my own, family pets or my spare time volunteering at a dog shelter. For the last 2 years, I’ve spent every Saturday cleaning kennels and walking dogs for Cheshire Dogs Home. This means I am well skilled in dealing with tricky dogs too. I now have adopted two cocker spaniels (mum and daughter) from Cheshire Dogs Home that I live alone with. I predominantly work from home and would ensure that I did when I had your dog. My girls absolutely love other dogs and always want to play with them. They love going out for long walks, I live near a country park which is very convenient. I would love to help others out in the hopes of building my own support network too. I work full time from home but this allows me to adapt to a dogs needs as it’s flexible. I currently wake between 6-7am every day with mine and will take them out if it’s hot or will work downstairs (or upstairs in my office where they are welcome) until taking them out at midday if the weather is normal. After work, we relax and have cuddles on the settee as well as a few games to challenge the spaniel brain I have a fenced garden and two girls that absolutely love other dogs and would love yours. They have free roam of downstairs and the garden at all time with supervised access to my office upstairs.
“Wonderful sitter. The whole family looked after our puppy so well and sent a daily update. Very caring and great with dogs. Would recommend and we will use Karolina again.”
“I felt so confident leaving my dog Maxi with Karl. I immediately felt assured that Maxi was with the right person while I was away. Maxi had a great time. I was kept updated with videos and photos when away. I can't recommend Karl enough and will certainly be using his services again. Thanks so much Karl 😁”
“Camilla was absolutely wonderful and I cannot recommend her highly enough!! I knew from the moment I met her, her delightful daughter and partner that my dog would be in the most exceptionally safe and kind hands. Camilla is warm and empathetic as a person - she knows how to look after animals with dedication and professionalism. She regularly sent pictures of videos always keeping me updated. She will always be the first person I will ask going forward to look after my dog when I’m away and require someone to look after her. Thank you so much Camilla!! 🙏🤗😀”

About: I've recently lost my gorgeous little Boston, winston and am missing him so much, so thought it would be an amazing opportunity to take care of and cuddle lots of other doggies until I am ready to get another. I had winston for 12 years and loved him like my child. I trained him from a puppy and then took care of him and gave him his medication and lots of care in his senior years. I was always brought up around dogs and genuinely love them more than most people. You can be guaranteed your fur babies will get a lot of love and care with me. I'm a teacher so am available at weekends or during school holidays for boarding. I can do drop ins and walks in the evenings on top of this. I dont have any children or other pets so your doggy will get my undivided attention. I treat them like children so they are very welcome on the couch and on the bed with me etc. I live near big playing fields and also have a garden.
“We cannot thank Hana enough for looking after our cat Pod whilst we were away in holiday. Our little baby was definitely well looked after. The daily updates and photos were perfect for keeping our minds at ease. Would highly recommend using Hana, I know we will again for our next holiday.”
“Alex was fantastic, she took excellent care of our cat, Millie, whilst we were away on holiday. Millie clearly took to Alex too as she's usually a bit fussy but gave Alex lots of cuddles and play time.”

“Hava was an excellent sitter for my kittens Kevin and Stevie! I was nervous leaving them but after speaking with her on the phone before their stay I was completely reassured! She took time to find out about their feeding requirements and routines and explained about her home. The stay went perfectly. We were welcomed and the kittens settled fast. Hava sent regular updates with photos and videos and I could see the kittens were happy and safe. Hava’s home is immaculately clean and hazard free. She is great communicator and so friendly. I would 100% recommend this sitter to care for your pets and will rebook with Hava again!”
“Patricia did an excellent job looking after my cats and on fairly short notice too! I received text messages after each visit giving me an update on how things were going which was really reassuring. I would definitely recommend and would not hesitate to ask Patricia to assist again in the future. Thanks Patricia 👍🏼”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Exceptional Care, Beyond Expectations We are truly grateful to Bethany for the outstanding care she provided for our cats during wr absence. She did everything perfectly & treated our boys with genuine love, patience, & responsibility. What makes her truly exceptional is that despite going through very difficult circumstances herself — including severe pain in her ankle due to reflex issues that required a hospital visit — she still came back to our home after the hospital to care for our cats so that she would not let us down as she Promised us. This level of dedication, honesty, & compassion is extremely rare in this time. Bethany is an amazing & wonderful person. Our respect & appreciation for her have grown immensely. She never abandoned us, even while she was suffering in pain. She is one of the most genuine, kind-hearted, & trustworthy people we have ever met. Words like “thank you” are simply not enough to express our gratitude. She deserves the highest level of respect & trust, we Highly recommend her wholeheartedly to anyone looking for someone who truly cares — not just about cats , but about keeping doing as what she promises no matter the circumstances. Thank you once again. You are truly remarkable. God Bless you. ❤️”
“We have been using Janet 2-4 times per week to do an hour drop in session with our puppy for over a month now. We get feedback throughout and following the sessions and he seems comfortable with her on all the photos. We will be continuing to use her to come and visit him so he’s not on his own all day while we’re at work.”
About: Hi, my name is Molly. I’m an administrative officer in the civil service, working three days from home and two days in the office. In my spare time, I love crocheting and knitting — I always have a project on the go! I’d describe myself as more introverted than extroverted, which might be why I connect so well with cats, since many of them seem to be little introverts too. Although I’ve never owned a cat myself — my mum is allergic — I’ve always had cats around me throughout my life. My grandma’s house was always full of them, whether they were her own or strays that wandered in. She cared for every single one, and growing up in that environment made me appreciate how different and special each cat can be. I’ve also had my own small pets in the past, including a hamster and a budgie, which has given me experience for how to care for these animals like cleaning their cages etc.
About: I absolutely adore cats! I love caring for them in my job, and enjoy getting to know the ‘spicy’ babies and making friends with them - there’s nothing better than having a scared let you stroke and love on them for the first time! At the RSPCA, I loved to spend time with each cat in our care, getting to know them and what they liked and disliked. Getting to see them go to their new homes was so rewarding. I also have two cats of my own - Leonis and Cookie. Leo is a Maine Coon, and Cookie is a little moggie who I rescued at work when she was 3 weeks old. I love sitting out in the garden with them on nice days - we all love sun bathing!

Perfect for high energy dogs - Bolton
Prices are estimates per day for 1 dog. Pricing may vary based on your search and includes a booking fee of 11%.
About: I have both had dogs since our childhood, and currently have two friendly cocker spaniels. All my dog experience has been from pups, I even acted as midwife for my next door neighbours bitch giving birth 3 years ago! My location has a large country park at the end of the street, and woodland behind me which I manage as a volunteer warden. I have a dog friendly rear garden and my cockers love drinking from the barrel water feature. I have very tolerant pets and they happily engage with other visiting dogs,and a previous neighbours cat. I have an engaging daily routine for them, so much so I'm convinced my dogs can tell the time, when their next activity is due. I am a stay at home foster-dad, and my wife works, sometimes from home. I volunteer in my local community woodlands, and other institutions throughout the day but I estimate our dogs are not at home for more than 3 hours alone. Apart from a clean and secure rear garden, my home is partitioned in such a way that a scared visitor could have seclusion if required. I do have a crate in the kitchen, and my dogs use it for privacy/ sleep ( door open). If your dog would be anxious at night, then I can keep my dogs upstairs with me or they can remain in the kitchen to keep their visitor company. Whichever works.
“Angela is amazing, she's kind caring, and nothing was too much trouble for my puppie. I will 100% be using Angela again 100% trustworthy The updates were amazing Diesel has the best time I can honestly say I know I will never need to worry about my puppie being with Angela Thank you and we will be seeing you very soon xx”
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life, so caring for them comes very naturally to me. I’m 28 and have hands on experience raising and training my own two dogs from just 7 weeks old, which has given me a strong understanding of puppy development, routines, and positive reinforcement training.

I’m comfortable reinforcing training, sticking to routines, and making sure each dog feels safe, calm, and cared for while you’re away. Because I’m a dog owner myself, I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. I pay close attention to their individual needs, whether that’s exercise, playtime, or just some extra cuddles.

During my time with your pet, I make sure they get plenty of exercise, attention, and companionship, while sticking closely to their usual routine. Because I plan my schedule around the dogs I’m caring for, you can feel confident they’ll be my top priority while they’re with me.

About: I've always had a genuine love for animals and understand that every pet has their own personality, routine and needs.

Whether your pet enjoys long walks, gentle strolls or simply relaxing at home, I'll tailor their care to suit their needs. I also share my home with one friendly indoor cat (Koby the Bengal), so it's important that visiting pets are comfortable around cats. We are open to separating them for some shorter stays.

Most importantly, your pet will receive lots of affection, attention and companionship throughout their stay, day or night, cuddles are always included!

“Rolo had such a lovely stay, Pat was so welcoming to us and Rolo, she took Rolo for a nice walk and she was sleeping contentedly when we picked her up. Right from the outset has been so communicative and helpful. Can’t speak highly enough and hope Rolo will be back again soon!”
About: I’ve had dogs since I was a teen ager. I have house trained several along the way, and have experience with older dogs as well. I am retired after 52 years in financial services. My day is comprised of trips to the gym and the markets as I am the chef of the house. Until recently this included looking after Alice, our beloved Boston Terrier who passed away a few months ago at 15. I enjoy all aspects of dog care, and have had several dogs over the years including a Chow and a Shepard/Husky cross you I’m quite comfortable with any size dog. I live in a large house with a fenced back yard. I’m a short walk from several prime dog walking areas here in Bolton, and I also drive if a chosen location for your dog is required.
“Our puppy had a great day with Vikki and her dog Lacey. He enjoyed playing in her large, secure garden and Vikki also fed him and took him for a walk. We will definitely be booking with her again ?”
“Lovely people, looked after my Evie well and she had a doggie friend to play with all day too which made it easier knowing she was distracted whilst I was at work. Received some lovely pictures of her. Thank you for looking after her well.”
“Teddy loves his ‘Holiday Home’! His tail sets off as soon as we pull up! Michelle is wonderful and sends lovely pup - dates with pictures throughout the day! We”d highly recommend her. 💕🐾”
About: I've had dogs my whole life big and small and have always walked and trained them. I do brain stimulating activitys like find the treat or puzzle feeders like kongs and lickmats. I live near a big park that I like to walk down and feed the ducks so depending on the dog going on walks is easily done. I have dog sat and looked after family and friends dogs since I was 14 ,some with medical problems that need daily treatment like tablets and skin cream. I have looked after a range of dogs from less active dogs and ones that need a good long walk. I would love to look after you fur baby's whether it's for an hour or a week🙂 I am currently not working so have all the time to spend with your dogs. I go on walks to get out and enjoy nature quite often. I like to go visit family aswell who only live a 20 minute walk down the road. I live in a flat so due to that I would only be able to sit 2 dogs at a time. But I have a bit of grass out the back and I also love right next to a massive country park. There are other dogs in the block but they are all friendly.
“Lovely people, lovely environment. So friendly from first contact and so welcoming the moment the front door opened. Rolo clearly felt very at ease and ‘at home’ and enjoyed the drive out and walk. Very kind and caring.”
“Rupert had a great time and was well looked after. He had his walks, ate his meals and had plenty of play time. I was updated throughout the day with photos and videos. Rupert will definitely be coming back to stay. Thank you!☺️”
About: About 20 years ago, our family got two miniature Schnauzers and I've been a dog lover ever since! Now that I've moved out and now live with my fiancee (Raissa, pictured) we miss having the company of dogs and before we get one of our own would like to trial having them in our lives on a more short term basis. We both work from home, so can have someone at home at all hours of the day. We have no children in the house and a secure garden. We have recent experience of looking after dogs for weeks at a time and know lots of good walks near our home too! Ideally looking for smaller hypoallergenic dogs, but would be open to other breeds. We both work full time for the same company with one office day required per week which we do on Weds and Thursday - so someone is always at home every week day. Generally we'd be able to take the dog out in the morning before work, at lunch, after work and evening if required. We have a back garden which is fenced and leads onto a quiet avenue. Generally keep dogs on lead until I can build up trust that it will come back on command. Will be cautious around other dogs without avoiding them and allowing social time when we've built up confidence. Love cuddles and playing in the house but won't allow dogs on the bed or the sofa without covers.
“Richard was very efficient and prompt in arranging a meet and greet before the booking. When I left Holly and Max for their day with Richard, they were happily exploring his flat. They seem to have had a good day and a couple of walks with him.”
“Reggie had a great time with John and was really well looked after! He understood his needs! John had brilliant communication and kept us updated though out. Thank you so much for looking after Reggie!”
“Nicola took such great care of our cockapoo. Nicola provided us with updates and photos and we have never seen our dog so comfortable away from home, we think she really enjoyed herself! Communication with Nicola was great and she and Rebecca gave us lots of confidence that our dog would be lovingly cared for. I would definitely recommend Nicola and we will 100% be booking again. Thank you so much Nicola, Rebecca and Teddy!”

“Thank you so much for taking Ollie out for his first walk. I think he loved it. I felt like I could trust you from the moment I read your reviews. I know when you met Ollie you were a 'dog person' and you'd be safe hands for our pup. We look forward to more bookings in the future. Thanks again. Kim X”
About: I don’t have formal pet sitting experience, but I’ve had dogs my whole life and am very comfortable caring for them. I’ve had a variety of breeds, including Chow Chows, Bichon Frises, Dachshunds, and mixed breed dogs, so I’m familiar with different temperaments and needs. I truly love being around animals and would care for your pet as if they were my own. I currently work 37 hours a week, but I’m fully available on weekends and have flexibility in evenings on weekdays. Caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy, so I naturally make time for it in my routine. My goal is to eventually transition into pet care full-time, and I’m already committed to building strong, reliable relationships with both pets and their owners. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in the owner’s home, my top priority is making sure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved. I follow the owner’s routines closely—this includes feeding times, walk schedules, playtime, and any specific care instructions. I give pets plenty of attention and affection, and I’m always tuned into their mood and needs. At my home, I have a secure fenced yard and a large garden where dogs can safely explore, play, and relax. I also have two friendly, well-socialized dogs who love the company of other pets. It’s a calm, welcoming environment where your pet can feel right at home. In a pet owner’s home, I’m respectful of their space, keeping things tidy and making sure their pet feels secure in their familiar environment. If I’m caring for a pet in my own home, I make sure the space is calm, clean, and pet-friendly, with cozy spots to rest and room to play.

About: Hello! I am an experienced dog walker having previously volunteered at an amazing animal rescue for over 3 years. I currently volunteer with guide dogs in training in a dog wellbeing role also. I have experience of also owning dogs and fostering rescue dogs. I have worked with all types of dogs from small to large, shy and boisterous! I will do everything I can to make your dog feel comfortable and ensure they have the best and most fun experience with me. I personally own two gorgeous but silly cats so also experienced in looking after cats. I work full time but I am at home 3 days a week. I finish at 2:30/3pm. I am free most weekends for stays (Sunday mornings I volunteer in Atherton between 8-12 currently) but unable to board at home currently due to a nervous cat. I will keep your pets, happy, safe and secure and stick to their usual routine and schedule. They will have an abundance of love and attention.
About: I’ve had pets all my life in my family home, usually a mix of both dogs and cats at the same time. I used to live in a lovely countryside area where we could go for massive walks and enjoy amazing play time! I now look after our lovely cat Betty and kitten Penny who are a handful, but they’re also the cuddliest most loving cats we’ve ever seen. I work full time, however my shifts change all the time leaving either a full morning or full evening available, plus 3 days a week off. I will look after your pet as I would my own, based on their routines that you have established with them. They would be in your home and used to their usual routines, and I would follow your instructions to the letter. I’ve been using an amazing sitter on Rover for years and would model myself on her amazing service. I would be the only person looking after your pet.
About: I’ve had dogs since I was a teen ager. I have house trained several along the way, and have experience with older dogs as well. I am retired after 52 years in financial services. My day is comprised of trips to the gym and the markets as I am the chef of the house. Until recently this included looking after Alice, our beloved Boston Terrier who passed away a few months ago at 15. I enjoy all aspects of dog care, and have had several dogs over the years including a Chow and a Shepard/Husky cross you I’m quite comfortable with any size dog. I live in a large house with a fenced back yard. I’m a short walk from several prime dog walking areas here in Bolton, and I also drive if a chosen location for your dog is required.
About: I have 3 cats of my own (my babies I love them), some fish and over the years my experience includes looking after friends/families pets. Most recently my boyfriend’s elderly cat with thyroid medication and a friend’s dog with a strict diet. I’m used to cats behaviour and will give them the patience, attention and playtime they need, as I’d want other sitters to treat my pets with the same care. As an animal lover I am open to looking after other animals, I also love dogs, rabbits and guinea pigs! I know how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I promise they’ll be cared for as if they were my own 😊🩷 Im currently in between jobs so I have full availability and can be flexible to fit around your pets routine. I also have a driving license so travelling won’t be a problem. During visits I will do the basics (cleaning litter, feeding your pet, dog walking, sweeping/cleaning the room), provide medication if needed, lots of cuddles, play and will send updates of course!

It’s taken me a long time to get a dog walker as I’ve always been nervous about leaving Bella with someone else but Janet is very responsible, I don’t worry at all, I look forward to the days she’s taking her out as I know she’s going to have lots of fun!”
About: Hi! I'm Toni, I'm 28, and like many others here I'm known for my love of animals. I have a lot of personal experience with caring for animals - we've always had animals in our household ever since I was a baby, and I'm often called upon to see to my neighbour's ever-expanding fur family when she's away. I have a ten year old Alsatian named Marshall and three adorable cats called Kevin (6), Keith (6) and Crystal (18). All my fur babies are full of life, energetic and love to keep me on my toes. Caring for them is an absolute blessing and it has encouraged me to start working towards a career in animal care. I'm a full-time support worker, but work flexible hours and days, and also complete my work alongside my business partner Brian, so between the two of us we can be completely flexible and will accommodate yours and your fur baby's needs as much as possible. I'm more than happy to keep you updated and send regular pictures! I know how difficult it can be being away from them! I work shifts as a support worker, however I also work alongside my business partner, Brian, so between the two of us we can be completely flexible for your needs. I will accommodate any requests for caring for your pet within your home. All rules and regulations will be followed to ensure your pet gets the best support and care.
About: I've taken care of cats and dogs of different breeds and other animals since a young age. Neighbours, friends and close family have all asked me to take care of, feed and give attention to their animals to which I performed precisely. I am currently caring for my partner as she is heavily pregnant and am not currently working a 9-5 due to the care that she requires and as the pregnancy has caused a lot of unexpected difficulties it is safer for me to remain closer to home. I house 3 in door cats, their needs and requirements are met on a daily basis, playtime divided evenly between the 3, constant cuddles and comfort from myself and partner, constant litter tray supervision, regular biscuit bowl, water and wet food throughout the day.

“We couldn’t have asked for better people to look after our dog Watson for an overnight stay. Karen and Trevor are incredibly warm and caring — Watson was clearly in the best hands and felt right at home with them. They kept us updated with lovely photos throughout his stay and even gave us a ride to the train station, which was so thoughtful. We would absolutely leave our dog with them again without hesitation. Thank you for everything!”

I was kept updated with videos and photos when away. I can't recommend Karl enough and will certainly be using his services again. Thanks so much Karl 😁”
“Alison looked after little pup for 5 nights while we had a pre Christmas break. And from the photos it looks like he had his own holiday. He had loads of cuddles, plenty of muddy walks (his favourite thing) and even some runs. Thank you very much for taking so such good care of Charlie. We will definitely be in touch again. Would 100% recommend Alison”
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life, so caring for them comes very naturally to me. I’m 28 and have hands on experience raising and training my own two dogs from just 7 weeks old, which has given me a strong understanding of puppy development, routines, and positive reinforcement training. I’m confident working with dogs of all ages from energetic puppies who need structure and consistency, to older dogs who may need a gentler, more patient approach. I’m comfortable reinforcing training, sticking to routines, and making sure each dog feels safe, calm, and cared for while you’re away. Because I’m a dog owner myself, I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. I pay close attention to their individual needs, whether that’s exercise, playtime, or just some extra cuddles. My goal is always to make your pet feel happy and stress-free, and to give you complete peace of mind. work shift patterns, which actually allows me to dedicate focused, quality time to pet care. I only accept bookings when I’m off work, so I can give your dog my full attention throughout the day no distractions or time constraints. I’m available on weekdays and every other weekend, making me a flexible option for both regular care and occasional bookings. During my time with your pet, I make sure they get plenty of exercise, attention, and companionship, while sticking closely to their usual routine. Because I plan my schedule around the dogs I’m caring for, you can feel confident they’ll be my top priority while they’re with me. When caring for pets in their own home, my priority is keeping everything as familiar and stress-free as possible. I follow your dog’s usual routine closely, feeding times, walks, exercise, and any training or house rules you have in place so they feel secure while you’re away. I’m very respectful of your home and make sure it’s kept clean and just as you left it. I spend quality time with your dog throughout the day, giving them plenty of attention, play, and companionship so they don’t feel lonely. With my experience raising and training dogs from a young age, I’m confident reinforcing good behaviour, sticking to routines, and adapting to each dog’s needs whether that’s an energetic puppy or a more relaxed senior dog. I also keep you updated with regular messages and photos, so you can feel reassured that your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for.
“One week stay. Daily pictures of Bertie out on walks or relaxed at home from Alex. Bertie had a minor health issue whilst we were away (no fault of Alex’s!) and Alex discussed with us immediately. Recommend and will book again when we next need a sitter.”
“Sarah was brilliant with my dog who is quite anxious and fussy! My dog had the best adventures and so much attention that I don’t think he missed us. I loved seeing the pictures of what they were getting up to and we were able to relax knowing he was well cared for. Thank you so much Sarah”
“Reggie absolutely loved his stay with Alice !! She was very reassuring and understanding about Reggie’s behaviours etc. she sent pictures throughout the day and kept us updated !! Have already booked again 🤍 10/10 would recommend”
“Edward is a fantastic dog sitter. I made a short notice booking, he was very quick to respond during the booking process answering my questions and giving me information. During Peppa's stay he sent me lots of updates and photos which is always reassuring to see when your dog is away. Peppa seemed to enjoy it too - hopefully we'll be back again soon. Thanks very much.”
“Michelle is absolutely brilliant with Ula. We had much peace of mind whilst we chilled and relaxed on holiday. Michelle kept us regularly updated on Ula's little holiday. I am already looking to book further stays for our darling Ula. Thank you so much Michelle 💗”
About: My mum has always had an irrational fear of dogs so have never had the honour to own one myself until I moved away from home. Growing up I have often dog sat for my godparents who have 2 beautiful miniature schnauzers and my neighbours Jack Russell. Since I was 19, I was using borrow my doggy to get experience with different dog breeds and learn the needs of each pup. I work full time primarily working from home with the odd day on site. I love spending time outdoors especially now with my cocker spaniel pup! I have a 3 bed house with a wrap around fenced garden for your pup to roam around in. I don’t allow any pets upstairs so should your pup stay overnight, they need to be okay sleeping downstairs. As I have a dog of my own, I do not take on non-neutered male dogs and they must get along well with other dogs.
“Daniel was great with looking after Ziggy! He was really flexible with the meet and greet, especially as I had booked last minute. He kept me updated throughout with pictures and let me know how Ziggy was doing. For both pick-up and drop-off, he was ready at the agreed times and Ziggy was happy when I picked him up. Thanks again, Daniel! 😊”
