Dog Heaven in Darlington

I love devoting my time to dogs. Fi and Bluebell have grown up together and they are very adaptable to new dogs and I think the socialisation is good for all! Of course my two dogs do come first which is why I like to do a meet and greet beforehand to see if they would all get on well at home. I have two children under 4 so it’s essential that your dog is good with children. However, interaction will always be supervised. During the week I work from home, with occasional trips to the office. At the weekend I am able to dedicate my time better and maximise TLC, whilst chasing the kids around too. As I have my own two dogs, I only accept one dog per booking so from the meet and greet, you can get a good idea of what your pooch will be up to with me. I do prefer small dogs as a rule, I am open to others depending on temperament and age. My two girls are senior dogs now so I need to respect their space too.

My boy Charlie spent 2 days with Alana while I was away with work. We had a meet and greet beforehand to make sure the dogs got on well together. Then I dropped Charlie off for his stay and I was pleased to receive updates letting me know how he was getting on and photos to show he was enjoying himself! Alana was friendly and easy to communicate with. I’d definitely recommend!

Thankyou Alana for looking after Boo so well Alana gave me regular updates and went over and above to make Boos holiday as enjoyable as my own Boo enjoyed her stay with you and I wouldn’t hesitate to use your services again or recommend you to others

Alana looked after my two very different personality dogs for a week while I was on holiday. She kept me updated with lots of photos and messages and I am sure they enjoyed their stay with her and her own two lovely little dogs. Would highly recommend.

Alana and family were so lovely. Rocco didn’t want to come home after a week with her! I will be asking her to dog sit again on our next holiday.

Alana was fantastic with our little boy Geno. He has a bit of anxiety and she was extremely kind and patient with him. She sent us several updates and it was obvious she really cared and wanted Geno to be happy and comfortable. We will definitely book with Alana again!
