25+ years working with Dogs in the Military & Secuirty Industry

With over 25+ years of dedicated experience caring for diverse canine breeds, including Military, Security, Working, and Personal Protection Dogs, I am a certified & licensed professional (Pet ProTection - Animal Activity Licence Number M058946) registered with Dacorum Borough Council.
My profound passion for animals fuels my commitment to providing compassionate, reliable, and expert care in both private and professional settings.
I am fully licensed by Hertfordshire Council (Dacorum Borough Council) under the Animal Welfare (Licensing of Activities) (England) Regulations 2018, authorizing me to offer Day Care and Boarding services.
By choosing a licensed provider like myself, you can rest assured that your pet receives responsible care while supporting compliance with all relevant animal welfare regulations and avoiding potential legal issues associated with unlicensed services.
A life time of experience deployed in both High Threat & High Risk environments provides a strong sense of responsibility, attentiveness, & the ability to handle various situations with calmness & professionalism. These qualities translate directly into the professional pet care services I provide, ensuring reliability, trustworthiness, & capability of handling any unexpected circumstances that may arise.
I am extensively trained in Enhanced Dog First Aid and have provided instruction to numerous service dog handlers on advanced lifesaving techniques for both general-purpose and specialized high-risk environment dogs. This expertise enables me to respond quickly and effectively to any medical emergencies or injuries that may arise while your pet is in my care, ensuring prompt and competent handling of health-related concerns.
In addition to my proficiency in Enhanced Dog First Aid, I have specialized experience working with military and security dogs. You can trust that both your pet and your home will be cared for with the highest level of safety and protection during your absence.
To provide an extra layer of protection, all dogs under my care are equipped with temporary Apple Air tags, enabling me to track their whereabouts & ensure their well-being throughout their time with me. My experience in security enhances my ability to provide a safe & secure environment, along with the skills necessary to handle any unforeseen circumstances that may arise, demonstrating a well-rounded & capable pet care provider.
Throughout their stay, a strong emphasis will be placed on enriching activities to foster both mental and physical well-being. These carefully designed activities not only provided stimulating mental and physical exercise but also offered valuable opportunities for your dog to demonstrate their intelligence, showcase their training, and express their natural eagerness to engage and interact. This multifaceted approach ensured a well-rounded and rewarding experience for your canine companion.
Services offered: 
Home Boarding: At my family residence, your pet will receive exceptional care and be treated as if they were my own. This service is charged per nightly stay. Your pet will be well taken care of, including daily walks, feeding and watering according to your instructions & directions. They will have access to a large secure 'certified pet safe' garden for emergency toilet breaks & play, as well as a spacious playing field and wooded area near my property. For added security and peace of mind, your dog will be provided with a temporary Apple air tag tracker. Additional pets will be charged at a discounted fee per night.
Doggy Day Care: Your pet will be looked after at my secure family home for the day. They will receive a minimum of a 30-minute walk and regular playtime. I will follow your feeding instructions, ensure their water is always topped up, and provide regular toilet breaks. If needed, I can also arrange to pick up your dog from your home and drop them off for an additional fee of £20. For the safety of all, pet seat belts are used in my vehicle & a secure area in the rear of my hatchback vehicle. Extra time can be booked at a discounted rate.
Search & Rescue: Specialised search & rescue service for missing dogs using cutting-edge thermal drone technology to enhance search accuracy and speed, even in challenging conditions. With advanced thermal imaging, our drone can detect a dog’s heat signature in dense forests, fields, and low-visibility areas, day or night. This approach allows us to cover large areas quickly, making it possible to locate missing pets faster than traditional ground searches. We are committed to reuniting lost pets with their families as swiftly and safely as possible. We understand the emotional stress that comes with a missing pet, and we approach each search with dedication and compassion. By using thermal drone technology, we increase the likelihood of finding your beloved pet and bringing them home safely.
Transportation Service: Your pet will travel in style and comfort with my specialized dog transportation service, featuring a fully equipped Audi RS3 tailored for the safety and well-being of canine passengers. In addition, this service can be utilized for emergencies, where my extensive advanced driving expertise ensures prompt and secure transport.
Drop-in visits: I will come to your home for 30-minute visits. During this time, I will engage in socialisation with your pet, let them out for toilet breaks and exercise, ensure they are fed, and make sure their water bowl is always full. For each additional pet you will be charged at a discounted fee per visit.
House sitting: Personalised stay at your home to provide care for your pet & the ultimate security for your home. I will spend quality time engaging and playing with them. They will receive at least one hour of outdoor exercise, which can be divided into shorter walks. Regular toilet breaks will be given, and they will be fed and watered as instructed. Additionally, I will take care of ensuring the safety and security of your home. I will clean up after myself and your pet, and your house will always be securely locked whenever I leave. Rest assured that dogs will never be left alone for more than 4 hours within a 24-hour period.
Extra Perks:
Multiple pets? Each additional pet receives a discounted rate for all services provided.
Need more time? Daycare can be extended for an extra £5 fee.
