Pet care experience
Experienced Doggy Haven in Gosforth
Hi, I’m Amber! I have two small dogs of my own, and we absolutely adore having other dogs around. I’ve been caring for dogs professionally for over 8 years through my own dog-care business, so your dog will be in experienced and caring hands. I have experience with dogs of all ages and backgrounds, including puppies, senior dogs, rescue dogs and dogs with behavioural needs. While I’m not a dog trainer, I’m experienced in managing different personalities and will always follow your instructions and routines to make sure your dog is comfortable and well cared for. I provide a home-from-home environment where dogs can enjoy plenty of attention, play and enrichment throughout the day. Walks, potty breaks, toys, supervised play and plenty of cuddles are all part of their stay. I also have a particular interest in dog nutrition and even enjoy baking homemade dog treats! I’m present in my home throughout the day, so dogs aren’t left alone for long periods. I also hold a Pet First Aid & CPR qualification and have a pet first-aid kit available. As I don’t drive, daycare is available for dogs who live within approximately 2 miles of my home in Gosforth, with owners providing drop-off and collection. Drop-off and collection is available 7am–6pm, Monday–Saturday. I want every dog who stays with me to feel safe, relaxed and genuinely at home. 🐶❤️

Ratings and reviews
Amber was very professional and I felt reassured that Milo would be well looked after. He did indeed have a wonderful time and Amber sent messages and photos throughout the stay. I wouldn’t hesitate to book again and highly recommend her service.

Schedule
I work from home and provide dog care full-time, so I’m able to spend the day caring for the dogs staying with me. I’m present throughout the day and can provide regular toilet breaks, exercise, play, enrichment and attention. My daycare hours are Monday–Saturday, with drop-off and collection between 7am and 6:30pm
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Dogs staying with me have access to a secure, fenced back garden where they can safely play and explore, as well as a gated front garden with additional plastic-coated garden mesh. I also have two friendly small dogs of my own, so your dog can have company if they are comfortable around other dogs. I always consider each dog’s individual temperament and needs when supervising interactions. I have over 8 years of experience caring for dogs and have looked after puppies, senior dogs, rescue dogs and dogs with behavioural needs. I also hold a Pet First Aid & CPR qualification and keep a pet first-aid kit at home. As I work from home, I am present throughout the day rather than leaving dogs alone for long periods.
Pets
A typical day
Every dog has different needs, so I tailor the day around their age, energy levels, personality and what they enjoy. Depending on the dog, activities can include walks to the river, local woods, parks and the Town Moor, as well as supervised play and enrichment at home. For dogs who have reliable recall and whose owners are happy for them to be off lead, we can enjoy games of fetch with a ball or frisbee. Dogs can also run and play in the secure back garden, particularly on nice days. There is plenty of time for rest and relaxation too, with regular toilet breaks, cuddles and attention throughout the day.

- Before your dog’s first stay, I’d like to know a little about their routine, personality and individual needs. In particular: * House training * Basic commands * Favourite treats * Recall and whether they can be safely off lead * How they get along with other dogs * Vaccination status * Any medical, dietary, behavioural or other care requirements I can provide an intake form for you to complete before your dog’s first visit so I have all the important information I need to provide them with the best possible care.
