“My dog Sparky attended day care with Michael for 7 days. Sparky has stayed with Michael previously and absolutely adores him and his mum, Tara. He raced to their front door each morning, excited to play and explore. Michael was always friendly and professional, maintained good communication, and always double checked medication and food schedules with me. Sparky has a lot of medical needs, but I knew he would be in safe hands with Michael, as he has lots of experience working with other dogs in similar circumstances. Michael would always give me a brief summary of what they got up to at day care each day, as well as confirming plans for the following day. Knowing Sparky was being not only cared for, but stimulated, exercised and above all, given plenty of fun, gave me such peace of mind and allowed me to completely focus on the tasks I had to complete during the day. I will absolutely be re-booking Michael in the future, and I would highly recommend his services to anyone who is looking for a professional, reliable, and passionate carer of dogs.”


About: I am now retired and have had dogs for over 50 years. I love all dogs but the seniors especially who need lots of cuddles and fuss. I will never leave them on their own whilst in my care. Happy to consider 2 dogs from the same family. I am retired to have all day to devote to the dog in my care. There are plenty of walks especially if they are ok for a short car ride Yours will be the only dog unless they come together as a family. I have a reasonable sized garden fully fenced in. No ponds or escape routes

“My dogs had a lovely time at Geraldine's. I would highly recommend her. I am very very wary of leaving my dogs with anyone but I had no reservations in leaving my dogs with Geraldine and will definitely be doing so again in the future.”


“Luna had a great time with Shelley. She was very happy at handover and I knew she would be loved and cared for as she is at home. She must have had a great time with the two resident dogs as she came home shattered, the signs of a fun day. Would highly recommend Shelley.”



“My first time using this service and I have to say what a huge success it has been, my two dogs came home happy and exhausted after all the fresh air and exercise they have had, they came home curled up and slept ! Fantastic! Jane and her husband are a wonderful, warm and welcoming couple who went out of their way to make my two little dogs feel at home in their lovely home and amazing doggy dream come true back garden. I cannot thank this couple enough for the high level of care given and I have already booked a longer stay, which is such a relief knowing I am leaving my dogs with such a lovely caring dog loving family.”


About: Myself and my partner, Hayden, are first-time home owners in the Clacton area (CO16) and have lived here since January 2023. We have been dogsitting different types of dogs for friends and family since we've owned our home. We walk every day (ave. 10-15K steps) and would love to welcome your furry friends into our home! We split our time between remote and office working, so there can always be someone at home on weekdays. Weekday arrival is most convenient from 4pm onwards. We both work full-time, but one of us will always be at home during the week for company and walks. We have a fenced garden and live ten minutes drive from the beach.

“Barney had a very enjoyable stay with Rebecca and her greyhound George. Beforehand I was a little concerned that 13 month old Barney the schnoodle was a little bit too much for George but both Rebecca and George remained very calm and put up with Barney's playfulness. Barney is looking forward to his next stay with his friend George.”
