About Mark

I have over 20 years of experience in the UK pet industry, including founding and leading major pet businesses. I now work from home on a freelance basis, collaborating regularly with vets, behaviourists, and pet professionals. My lifelong passion for animal care is centered on creating calm, predictable, low-pressure environments where dogs feel safe, understood, and genuinely cared for.

I offer an exclusive, child-free and pet-free home hosting strictly one guest dog at a time (or two from the same household). This guarantees undivided personal attention and zero stress from outside dogs or busy household activity.

WHAT I OFFER

Exclusive Home Boarding: Hosted in my home with complete access to a cozy, quiet living space, sofa resting spots, and a fully enclosed, secure garden. A typical day includes relaxed coastal decompression walks along The Leas, where your dog can sniff and explore at their own pace. Because I work from home, your dog receives steady human presence, quiet affection, and constant supervision throughout their entire stay.

SUITABILITY AND RESTRICTIONS

I welcome all breeds and sizes that thrive in peaceful settings, including senior dogs and pets needing mobility support or precise oral medication. To maintain a safe and quiet environment, I do not accept puppies under 6 months old, females in season, or dogs with severe separation anxiety that cannot be left briefly.

My home features double-door entry safety with a fitted dog gate, and I am available weekdays and weekends. I strictly follow your dog's exact feeding, walking, and sleeping routines to keep their stay completely seamless and reassuring.
