About US
My name is Graham Spencer, I am from England, I live with my son who is 16. I have been looking after dogs since I was 13 where on weekends I would walk a guard dog at my Mum’s work, he was not very friendly to people but he liked me and that’s where my journey began. I started looking after friends’ dogs and after a while, my friends encouraged me to set up my own business looking after Dogs of all shapes and sizes. I can say I have had my share of dogs over the years. I still enjoy watching and caring for them. I also have my own dog, Keira who is a rescue, she is a 13 yr medium-sized Basenji mix and we have been together for 10 years now. She is part of the family and helps me welcome our guests and shows them the ropes.
Client Testimonials
“Graham’s dog sitting service is the best we’ve ever had and we’ve had a few. He is so pleasant and great with our dog, Mochi. She practically jumps out of the car and runs straight into the backyard when we arrive at his house. We are sent regular updates and photos and she returns home so satisfied because of all the playtime and treats. I would recommend Graham to any dog owner looking for an excellent dog sitter.”
From Joy & Gabe with their dog Moichi.
“Graham & Close-2-Home dog boarding is truly one of a kind. I’ve never seen someone like Graham, who truly cares for our dog like it’s his own. Our Ron is family, so leaving him is always tough. But we feel 100% comfortable when he stays with Graham. Can’t recommend him and his dog boarding services enough.”
From Kevin & his dog Ron.
“We have boarded our baby boy Cody (Rat Terrier) on 2 occasions with Graham and Close To Home dog boarding and feel very happy and comfortable with the cageless run-about care that he got on each of these 7-8 day stays. The daily price is also very reasonable too. Two paws (thumbs) up!????”
From Rob & his dog Cody.
“I’ve known Graham for close to 9 years now and over the years he has taken care of two different dogs for us. Graham is a wonderful person and I know that my dog loves him and is safe with Close-2-Home when I have to leave town – it can be for a single night or several weeks, Graham is dependable, trustworthy and clearly a true dog-lover. Five stars!!!”
From Hamish & Pricilla And Their Dog Kona.
“Our three dogs love going to Graham’s! They get so excited when they see me preparing their go-away bag for their stay with Graham. We have used Graham’s dog-sitting service for the past two years and we are completely satisfied and happy with his service. His home is our dogs’ home when we’re away from home. We highly recommend him to any other fur families. Whether it’s just for a day or most recently for us: two weeks, Graham is a top-notch dog sitter.”
From Scott & Rey With Their Dogs Betty, Wonder, Lucy, & Annabelle.
“A friend introduced Graham Spencer to me as the absolute best pet sitter for my greyhound. She was right as usual! Uncle Graham, as he is known at our house, is not only competent, reliable, caring, and experienced….he is a kindhearted friend. His photos of my girl enjoying his home and lovely garden, and updates on her overnight stays are much appreciated. No worries, only sincere gratitude when I am traveling! As my friend did for me, I highly recommend Graham to you!”
From Linda & her dog Claire.
