Pet care experience

Loving home from home dog boarding.

I’ve grown up with dogs all my life and truly can’t imagine a home without them. I love spending time with family dogs and regularly look after them while their owners are away. I have a Jack Russell called Bella, and previously had a Springer Spaniel called Rocky, so I’m experienced with both small and high-energy breeds. Dogs are part of the family in my home, and they’ll always be treated with love, care and plenty of attention.

We were so pleased that Alex was able to look after Ellie and Honey again. It is so good to know that they settle in quickly and are so well looked after.

Excellent once again - We left our little dog Elmo with Alex for 12 nights. This was the second time Alex had looked after him and we had full confidence in her to provide only the very best care for him. He loves going there and the regular updates and photos throughout each day were very reassuring. Alex took care of his feeding arrangements to the letter (he's fussy) and kept up his training and grooming. He gets on well with her own dog Bella and the photos of them cuddled up were really lovely to see. We highly recommend Alex-she is so conscientious and follows your routine, adapting her own day to accommodate your most precious pet. We will definitely use her again and again. Thank you so much for taking such care with Elmo :)

We could not have wished for a better carer for Chief our Springer. She kept us informed with lots of lovely photos of Chief enjoying himself so we were able to relax on holiday knowing he was in great hands. Thank you so much, I know Chief had a lovely holiday with you too! We would bot hesitate to use Alex again she has been fantastic.

Ellie and Honey had a lovely time with Alex and we wouldn't hesitate to leave them with her again. Alex sent lots of pictures so we could see how happy and settled they were with her. It's a comfort to know that they were so well looked while we were away.

It was the first time I’ve left my 2 poms with anyone other than family but Alex was so good with them, made me feel reassured and sent me lots of updates. They were very happy and look forward to their next play date with Alex and Bella 😍

Safety, trust & environment

Your dog’s safety and happiness are my top priority. I have a fully fenced, secure back garden where dogs can safely play, explore, and burn off energy under supervision. Dogs will never be left unattended outside, and I always ensure gates are secure before playtime. Inside, my home is calm, clean, and dog-friendly — with plenty of space for rest, cuddles, and relaxation. I stick closely to your dog’s usual routine, including feeding times, walk, and bedtime habits. I provide regular photo and message updates, so you always know how your pup is getting on. Whether your dog loves playtime or prefers a quieter environment, I create a safe, loving space where they can feel comfortable and at home.

Pets

A typical day

Making sure your dog feels happy and stimulated during the time they will spend here is really important to me.There is a large field nearby where they can explore and have new and exciting experiences. Living on the edge of the Cotswolds means lots of scenic and fun walks 🐾

Every dog is different, and I treat them as I would my own-with patience, love, and understanding. To make sure your dog feels safe and happy with us, please share any important information about their routine, medication, dietary needs, triggers, recall reliability, social behaviour with other dogs/children, or anything else you feel I should know.
