Hi I am Clare. I grew up around pets. As a family we had cats, dogs, budgies and fish - plus I always found frogs and toads to care for! My own dogs have been a cocker spaniel, two cavalier king Charles spaniels and Patch, a Jack

Clare and James were brilliant. Wallace the dog, Tonks the cat and the fish were well looked after. Wallace had some lovely walks despite the weather

A return sit for Clare and James. Clare arrived first and Arthur was delighted to see her, which says it all really 😁. High praise for the way they care for

Clare and her husband, James are dear friends, whom I have known for many years. (Clare since 1976)! They are lovely people, who were devoted to their own dogs, the last of which sadly, recently passed away (nobody could have loved or cared for them more)! I can assure anyone considering them as temporary custodians of their homes and pets, that they will be in safe hands. They are friendly, kind, honest, reliable, trustworthy and I cannot recommend them highly enough!
