Home from home care for your furry best friends!

Pet care experience

My partner grew up with border terriers and, after very little convincing, we have been the loving owners of our own border for the last four years. We first considered dog boarding when we struggled to find care for our own dog, having never been in kennels and being used to a very loving and cosy environment, we knew it was essential to find him somewhere he could feel like he was part of the family. To be honest I'm not sure who was more nervous, me or him! We realised we couldn't be the first people to face this issue and, after speaking to close family (who it turns out were in exactly the same boat) we decided to open our home and start offering boarding for our favourite four legged friends. Our own dog is very social, he has a calm temperament and enjoys tennis balls, getting muddy and curling up on the sofa in the evening. We live in a house with a secure garden and easy access to lots of green space and streams for walks. Our own dog has quite strict dietary requirements so we are comfortable working with any needs your own dogs may have. We understand it can be a horrible feeling leaving your dog, whether it's the first time or the hundredth. We aim to reassure you that we will treat your pet with the same love, care and attention we would want for our own. We will be responsive to your unique requirements and rest assured you will receive many pupdates along the way!

Our little poodle has had such a lovely stay with Alex, Joe and Max. They are incredible hosts, kept us well informed, were very accommodating and did everything to meet our little girls needs. Would use them again in a heartbeat and fully trust that Nancy would be very happy to see them all again x

Alexandra had both our somewhat lively springerpoo's for over a week, the house and setting is perfect and Max their border terrier is a chilled out delight who was brilliant with our two somewhat boisterous boys. When we picked them up they were happy to see us but secretly I think they wanted another week. Thank you so much for all that you did with them and we will see you the next time we go away....bit of a drive for us but so worth it to see them so happy and well cared for! The updates and photos were really appreciated and meant we could truly relax and enjoy our first holiday without them.

We have a house with a very secure garden. We use nearby fields for most of our walks and would follow your own instructions as per how often etc your dogs need exercising and what they like. There will be someone with your dog at all times whilst in our care. We offer a pre-meeting to ensure our own dog will be comfortable with yours (and vice versa) and are very happy to send updates and images of your dog's stay with us.

Information Alexandra K. would like to know about your pet

I like to know all the likes and dislikes your dog has to ensure they have the most settled and enjoyable stay. What sort of games do they like, do they like their own space? Anything unusual that worries them and how they like to be comforted. Do they have any particular dietary or medical needs for me to be aware of. What is their usual routine when they are at home?

A typical day

I love to go on long walks in the countryside made even better with the company of dogs! We can play in the house as well whether that's withe a tennis ball or other toys. At the end of the day we like to sit together on the sofa, dog naps very welcome!
