Field walks and playtime at home in Keynsham

We have a 5 year old Cockapoo called Murphy who loves other dogs. We've looked after West Highland Terriers, Golden Retrievers and Cockapoos for multiple friends and family members. Before we moved into our current home, we weren't allowed to have our own dog in our rental property so we did Borrow my Doggy for 5 years as we were so keen to look after dogs. Now, we've enjoyed a year and a half on Rover so far and love meeting so many different dogs!

Bruno always enjoys his stays with Ali and Tom . They always make sure he is well looked after has plenty of walks and enrichment . I always received daily updates on his wellbeing and pictures which is a lovely touch . I never worry going on holiday leaving Bruno with them as I know they will take great care of him . Also not forgetting Murphy their gorgeous dog who he loves being around and Bruno also enjoys sleeping in his bed ! Thanks Ali and Tom

Alison and Tom were fantastic! Steve 🐶 had a great time and I received updates throughout the day. Steve would definitely like a return visit and I would definitely recommend Alison, Tom and Murphy to others 🙂

Winnie, as always, was very happy to go to Ali and Tom’s - just for a night this time - and came back very happy and relaxed. Many thanks!

Winnie loved her holiday at Ali and Tom’s. She was excited to see them after her trial day and they made her feel very relaxed throughout. Ali and Tom were great with Winnie, and it was reassuring to know she was happy and in good hands while we were away. Winnie really enjoyed having Murphy to play with too! We were sent lots of updates and photos of what Winnie was getting up to, so we knew she was happy throughout our holiday. We’d definitely use Ali and Tom again and would definitely recommend them to others. Thanks again!
