If you’re planning a holiday and aren’t sure what to do with your pets or you have an emergency and need an overnight stay message us today to organise your booking 🐾 From a young age I’ve had an immense passion for animals and providing care for them. For the majority of my adult life, friends and family have come to me for advice or help training their pets as I have spent many years raising, aiding and studying animals. I am confident i can provide excellent care for your pets during their stay whether that’s at my home, your home or the Day Care Centre 🏡 I currently have 32 CPD Accredited Certificates in Dog Training, Animal Behaviour and Dog Boarding. Diploma in Dog Grooming, First Aid Training and Animal Psychology. My knowledge in this sector is ever expanding as I frequently study to gain further qualifications in the field as it is my lifes goal to be the best Animal Carer i can possibly be 🐕🦺 Our house has a large garden and training area, and is equipped with beds, sofas and crates for any dogs needs. We have a brick wall around our house and a fully equipped security system with 2 way audio cameras, Night-vision and Spotlights to ensure safety at all times My dog is like the ‘mother hen’ around other animals including smaller animals such as hamsters, bearded dragons and even kittens. Towards other dogs she is very bouncy and playful but also dominant, with lots of energy she always wants to play ! She is very vocal and can sound loud but her tail is always wagging and she’s always excited to meet new friends. As a person who loves animals dearly I love to make our home like a second home for other pets. I am always happy to modify bookings to assure the best care options for your pet. We have a large living room with a large corner sofa for pets to sit play and sleep on and your pets are welcome on the furniture unless otherwise specified. My dog is very well trained and knows she can sit or lay where ever a blanket is so if your pet isn’t allowed on furniture at home my dog will stay off the furniture with your pet to keep that mentality for your pets home life and ‘holiday’ life. As I frequently study Animal Care I am always looking to expand and provide better care for your pets. This includes new and up to date Training Methods, New toys and games to play and new areas to play in. I work full time as a dog carer/trainer so all of my time is dedicated to taking care of your beloved pets 🐾 I am a Full-Time Animal Carer/Dog Trainer with CPD Accredited Certificates and Diplomas. My weekly routine fits around the pets i take care of 🐾 Our home is a great place for your pets to stay with fully equipped dog room, secure house and garden and friendly dogs for company 🐾

Ratings and reviews
Beth and Sam really made my dog feel so welcome, ive never left her anywhere before but they really looked after her and sent me loads of pictures and videos which really reassured me and I could see she was having the best time with them.
Excellent experience all around and we will definitely be back. Beth and Sam are clearly dog people both in their obvious love of dogs, the care they take, and their understanding of what dogs need. After a short bit of hesitation, they made our 10 month old puppy feel really comfortable and happy during her 10 day stay. Our only worry was she liked it their so much she wouldn’t want to come home! We have called it her stay at Barkington Summer Camp, and I think that’s a good description. We highly recommend!
We cannot think Beth enough for her amazing care of Walter. He’s a French Bulldog with grade 5 IVDD and needs both a wheelchair and a lot of special care for using the toilet. This didn’t phase Beth in the slightest and her confidence made us comfortable to leave him with her and other dogs she was sitting too (something we’ve not even thought about since his diagnosis in February) The moment Walter met Beth and Sam, this normally nervous boy was calm and happy, snuggling up for cuddles instead of his normal nervous nips. Even the house calmed him immediately, he was happy to explore straight away, finding a water bowl and drinking without any concerns (even though his disability makes that a vulnerable move) and getting into a dog bed in the kitchen after a minute or two and dropping off. Whilst we were away, Beth kept us updated regularly which was brilliant and Walter had an amazing time. He played with other dogs, had so many snuggles and Beth and Sam made him part of their family. We had no issues relating to his health, disability or behaviour and even though he lost some weight from all the extra running about, Beth was great in letting us know and organising a new feeding regime for him. We picked up a dog who was more comfortable in his wheelchair, better socialised with other dogs and calmer with strangers. Beth and Sam not only looked after him like their own but took his disabilities in their stride and made an absolutely amazing contribution to his ongoing rehabilitation. We cannot thank them enough!
We would 100% recommend Beth and her partner. She was communicative, reliable and took great care of our 1 year old pup Ziki for two nights. He tends to get a bit nervous around other dogs but Beth made sure he was comfortable with the other dogs staying and put our mind at ease with regular updates and photos. Ziki had a great time playing with Beth and the others and came home tired and happy. We'd love for Ziki to stay with Beth again in the future!
Kali stayed with Beth for 2 weeks while we were away getting married in Ibiza. Dropping Kali off, we were instantly put at ease with regards to knowing our girl would be with someone who utterly is made for the job! The photo and video updates were fantastic in allowing us to relax knowing Kali was having as good a time as we were. Beth was flexible and accommodating in both drop off and pick up; we weren't able to collect Kali until 22:30, and Beth and her partner were a joy in working around this. I'm sure I saw a twinge of sadness in Kali as we left; she had had the best two weeks! Could not recommend enough, and will be looking to have Beth watch our girl in the future. 10 stars out of 5.
We have two dogs, a Cavachon and a Choodle. This is the first time that Bailey and Daisy have been left with anyone. Beth and her partner were fantastic. They played with them and looked after them as if they were their own. Both dogs had lots of cuddles from Beth. We were assured of the dogs contentment because Beth sent us photos and videos daily. Beth did an excellent job of looking after our doggies and went far beyond what might be expected. Very highly recommended.

Whilst pets are at our home I like to stimulate them mentally and physically to ensure they are comfortable and happy. I love playing games, doing agility courses in the garden and much more!
