    About David

    Hi all, I'm David. Myself and my partner Katie are lifelong dog lovers and are here to share that love with yours. We have 2 dogs - Riley and Copper. Riley is a foster fail who stole our hearts, a Spaniel mix who just turned 2. She has such a gentle Mammy-like temperament and dogs seem to always warm to her, strangely even those that usually dislike the company of other dogs. Copper is a Shepherd/Lab cross just turned 1 and is a gentle giant. Despite his clumsiness, over the last year he has watched and learned from Riley's soft and sensitive nature. He gets a bit excited around new dogs and tends to let out a bit of a high pitched whine at times when playing but he means well and just needs to calm down... We're working on it ! Together, they make the perfect combination and spend their time playing with each other in the garden followed by chilling out on the couch in the evenings before bed. We have a dog-proof house and the garden area is completely enclosed and safe. It is also paved with an artificial grass area so your dog won't be going home covered in muck or dirt from playing. We have 1 child in the home and both Copper and Riley are as good as gold. They are always conscious of where she is in the house and even pop over periodically to check on her. We still take the necessary precautions and we would not put her or your dog(s) in any uncompromising position, rest assured. Why choose us to look after your dog? Easy...we have been where you are. Over the last number of years when needed we have been looking for suitable accommodation to take care of our dogs, so we know exactly the level of anxiety you go through and the trust it takes to leave them, whether it's for a day, overnight or more. Between Katie and I, there will always be someone in the house so your dog will get the 24 hour care and attention they deserve. Combine this with the social interaction they'd have with our own two dogs and you have the ideal environment for your dog to spend time in. We will cater the day/stay to the needs of each dog whether you've an energetic pup that needs lots of walks or a senior that needs quiet and rest away from the others. We would love for you to put your trust in us to look after your dog. With our energetic and caring home, one thing is guaranteed - your dog will go home happy...and fit for their bed!

    David was absolutely fantastic for Milo. He has two lovely dogs and they are very friendly, played all day with Milo, he came back home tired, and slept so peacefully. Milo is looking forward to play with his new friends soon again.

    Daisy stayed for 1 night with David and had a great time playing with Riley and Copper. David was great at communicating with how she was getting on and sent pics. Would definitely book again and recommend to anyone.

    Dave was an amazing host to Snoopy! She was so happy and well cared for—lots of playing, cuddles, and updates while I was away. She got along great with their 2 dogs and had fun playing with them all day! I could relax knowing she was in great hands and Dave made me feel reassured she would have the best care. Highly recommend!
