I work from home 3 days a week. Typically these days are Monday, Tuesday & Friday. We are more than happy to look after your little, or large, friend for an extended weekend and for longer bookings this can be flexible. The day would start with a long walk either around Cureden park or other surrounding paths and fields for around 30 minutes- 1 hour. With regular toilet breaks throughout the day, we will always ensure our dog is comfortable and is staying in their home away from home. Once my partner comes home from work, we would typically then walk together for around 1 hour in the late afternoon. Again, this is whatever the weather! We are equipped with boots and waterproofs so this doesn’t bother us. At the weekend, your dog will be our main priority and a big long walk (if they are able!) will be the main event of the day.

We have a very spacious home with a large fenced garden. This gives your pet the chance to explore throughout the day! We usually look after our family’s dogs, a cockapoo and a Labrador and they have lots of space to run around) We have looked after them at the same time before so would have no issue in looking after 2 dogs (3 would be a struggle!) We don’t allow dogs on the furniture but they are allowed upstairs if they want to explore. We are also happy for them to be in any room. In the evening, after a nice long walk, we love nothing more than settling down to watch some tv, maybe with a fire on, and some snuggles on the floor with your furry friend. During the night, your dog would be left in the kitchen, with any tempting food safely out of harms way!). All doors would be closed but we don’t mind if they wander upstairs and want to lie on the carpet (we find our dogs generally do). If you would prefer your dog to be kept in its crate this is absolutely fine and we will go with whatever routine has worked best for you. This is your dogs home away from home, so making them & yourself comfortable will be our number 1 priority!

Pet care experience
For the last 5 years, my partner and I have been crazy about dogs. We’re usually the first point of call to look after the dogs in our family and friendship groups! We cannot wait to have a dog of our own but with a wedding to pay for (hence the side hustle!) we do not have the time or money for full time just yet. We have experience in looking after dogs of all ages. From minding a puppy for the evening to extended stays with a senior dog of 14 (!) years. We have a very spacious home with a large fenced garden. Your furry friend will be looked after like it was our own. Lots of walks, cuddles (but not on the sofa :D) and a few treats here and there. Living on the doorstep of Cureden Valley park gives us great access to amazing dog walks, no matter the weather! I work from home 3 days a week, but this can be flexible for longer bookings. Long weekends can work best with Friday - Tuesday the best time to book. Please get in touch if you are interested! We will have more scope to look after any dogs during the School holidays as my partner is a teacher but please get in touch about specific dates!
Reviews
Alex and Madeline looked after our labrador Pippa for 2 weeks. We were very happy with the care she received - regular walks in a local park, consistent discipline and a friendly attitude around dogs. Alex and Madeline love having dogs around. We'd recommend them!
I wouldn't hesitate in recommending Alex to become a dog boarder. Alex has cared for my dog many times & also looks after other family & friends dogs regularly. I couldn’t be happier with the care my dog Indie received whilst staying with Alex & Maddy. From the very beginning, it was clear that they genuinely love animals and take their responsibility seriously. My dog settled in quickly, got plenty of exercise, and was treated like part of the family. I especially appreciated the regular updates and photos—it really put my mind at ease while I was away. When I picked my dog up, she was relaxed, happy, and clearly well cared for. I would absolutely recommend this dog boarder to anyone looking for a safe, loving, and reliable place for their pet.
