My partner and I are big animal lovers, and we'd love to welcome your pet into our home. I'm around throughout the day, so they're never left on their own and there's always someone here for company, playtime, and plenty of cuddles.

Most of what I know about caring for animals comes from my own dog, Cookie, who was with me for ten years. Over that time I handled pretty much everything; her medical care, giving her oral medication when she needed it, and working through some minor behavioural issues along the way. Back when she was young and full of energy, we'd go on daily runs together with my longboard, and she loved her beach days and long walks in Barbados. Having been a pet owner myself, I know how daunting that feeling of handing your pet over to someone else can be.

When a new pet arrives, the first thing we do is a little house tour together so they can have a good sniff around and get to know the place. It really helps them settle in and feel at home having free range of our space. We've got a large garden for them to stretch out and explore, plus a big park right across the road. Walks are usually 30–60 minutes, but I'm happy to go at whatever pace suits your pet.

Your pet can stick to their normal routine while they're here, same feeding times, walks, and bedtime so nothing feels unfamiliar or stressful. I have a car as well, so pick-ups and drop-offs are no problem once we've sorted the details. I also send regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing they're happy and settled. Every animal that stays with us gets treated like one of our own, and I genuinely look forward to giving your pet a comfortable, joyful stay.
