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.

Milo had a great stay with Barbara. It was his first time, staying for 2 days - he went in happily and was ready waiting to be picked up, still in a happy mood. I messaged Barbara to see how he was, and she responded quickly, then messaged the following morning to say Milo had had a good night and was off on a walk. Thanks for a smooth booking - I would certainly use Barbara again.

Barbara was very welcoming on our initial visit. Luna is an anxious dog which didn’t phase Barbara at all. I could tell straight away her experience and confidence with dogs. This put myself and most importantly Luna at ease. Luna had a lovely stay and was a good girl which is all we can ask. We would definitely recommend Barbara and will be in touch next time we need a dog sitter.

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.

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.
