Pet care experience

Doggy Haven

We are a couple who have had dogs for a number of years our most recent Benji who sadly was the last one who went to sleep. We live in a gated bungalow.which only has a small garden but we are fit and like our walks. There are plenty of walks in the area in which we live so dogs staying with us will enjoy the variety. We have many doggie friends and although we have moved away from that area we are still taking them into our home when their family takes holidays. I am proud of the profile both my husband and i have built which has been amassed over eight years now both in our previous area and now where we live.

Barbara and her husband took care of our two little dogs, BB and Willydog for a week whilst we went away on holiday and we feel she did a fantastic job. We came back to two very happy dogs. We couldn't recommend her accommodation more highly, 10/10 from us.

Judging from the photos and messages which Barbara sent it was clear that Talulah settled in very quickly and appeared very relaxed, and enjoyed her holiday with both Barbara and Frank. When we arrived, l gave them Emergency Contact numbers, but Frank assured me that they would not be needed, they also went to great lengths to follow our routines regarding feeding, walking , playing and giving her cuddles. I have no hesitation in recommending them to other dog owners, and hope that Talulah will be able to have more holidays with them. Thank you Barbara and Frank.

Barbara is a brilliant doggy minder. Our boy is always so happy with her. Barbara is always a safe, caring pair of hands to leave your doggy with. Very highly recommended.

This is the third time Barbara has looked after my dogs and they have been so well cared for again that I'm not sure they wanted to come home. The dogs are happy and very relaxed and I could not ask for more. I made a mistake with the booking but Barbara rectified it very quickly (and patiently) so, as always, it's the owner not the dogs that need sorting 😅

Safety, trust & environment

Our property is a gated bungalow and although we have a small garden there are plenty of walks in the area. Dogs pretty much have free reign here as we like to think they are getting the same level of care they would be getting at home.

A typical day

We regularly walk dogs in our care and can change the walks on a regular basis so that the dogs in our care do not get bored.
