Safety, trust & environment

We have a fenced spacious garden which backs onto a sports pitch. Plenty of space within the house for the animals with separate sleeping and eating areas. Water stations scattered around house and garden to ensure water available 24/7. Immediate access to large green spaces, trails and easy walk to a beach. Dogs are monitored during feeding to ensure they maintain expected eating regimes as specified by you. We have a gorgeous domestic longhair cat called Dorito, who lives in his own domain upstairs. He has his own entrance/exit upstairs so never meets any dogs, even in the garden he has a separate patrolling area and outdoor house above eyeliners of any dogs.

Information Carl R. would like to know about your pet

We’d love to hear about your pet, likes, dislikes, any special needs or habits so we can accommodate and give piece of mind whilst you’re unavailable. Although we state no unneutered males, we make exceptions, so don’t hesitate to contact us and enquire. Please note we require the Rover pet profile to be completed prior to making a booking enquiry. This enables us to make an informed decision on how we can best help.

A typical day

Crazy Goldador that loves walks and exploring, can find water and mud in the driest of places, but friendly and playful willing to share her toys. So a day of exploration, ball chasing and general zoomies in store!

Our Jack had a great holiday with Carl Claire and Tally. He enjoyed the walks and the company of other dogs. Being confident about the standard of care Carl and Clair afforded Jack gives us peace of mind when we go away. I highly recommend Carl and Clair to other dog owners.

What a wonderful couple you both are! I can’t thank you enough for making Buck feel so at home for his first visit, put me at ease from the moment I dropped him off. Amazing service from start to finish, and such good communication. Looking forward to booking back in with you again soon! :-)

Carl and Claire always take great care of our seniors and ensure they have good walks that meet their needs - a run around or a sniffing amble. Henry and George love going there and enjoying playing with Tallie too. Both dogs are on medication and Carl administers this when required. Carl kept me updated daily with comments about how the boys are doing and he also provided lots of photos and videos - this was fantastic and made me feel better knowing they were enjoying themselves. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Carl and Claire.

Once again Zero had a holiday with Carl and Claire and he had a whale of a time. This time he stayed for a week during which we had daily pics and videos of Zero enjoying long walks with his pal Tally. Carl displayed superb understanding and flexibility when our Flight home was delayed and we asked for Zero to stay another night. Outstanding all round.
