Hi, I'm Martin and I love dogs! A little more about me:

- I've been dog sitting with Pawshake for two years, and looking after others dogs for much longer.

- I have my own house near Stanley, in a quiet corner at the end of the terrace.

- My lodger is a local vet, and all round nice guy.

- I am a Brand Ambassador for a dog food company. (Don't panic! I won't be forcing anything on you, but if you want to chat about dog food then I'm more than happy to).

- Dogs are welcome to sleep downstairs in their own crate, bed, or on the doggy sofa, upstairs, on my bed, wherever they are happiest!

I think meet and greets are so important. Both for you to see me with your dogs, and for dogs to get used to the space. I can also offer discounted trial days/weekends in advance of longer bookings.

Now for some boring but important bits:

- I require your doggies to be house trained. Learnt that one the hard way!

- I am an actor. It is possible that I will need to cancel a booking for an acting job. However, this is a rare occurence that has only happened once so far. But only fair to make you aware.

- I'm reluctant to commit to bookings more than six months in advance.

The nature of my job means that I'm unable to have a pet of my own. So yours will be getting all of my love!
