Pet care experience

Plenty of love & time to care for your family pet

Having recently lost our 15 year old much loved rescue cat, Dolly we have a very deep hole & emptiness in our home so made the easy decision to open it up to caring for pets that need a safe and loving place to be while their owners are away. We have always had pets and have experience of many different types and ages. Mum has had a Kairn Terrior, a Westie and 2 Labradors and my Sister has a lovely chocolate Lab that we see regularly so we are used to different sizes of dogs. I myself am a very caring doctor who understands the needs of others, including animals and Mum is a super animal lover who is home full time, so between us we will always do our best to accommodate your requirements to make sure your pets needs are met. We have many friends & family members with pets so are around them frequently and both of us have done voluntary care for a dog rescue centre in Cyprus. We have a lot of love to give all types of pets and will take exceptionally good care of your fury family member as if they were our own. As an animal loving family we have experience with many types of dogs, cats, rabbits & guinea pigs. Please message for further information or enquiries of how we can help you & your precious family fur baby.

Boarding • jun. 21, 2026

I couldn’t be happier with the dog boarding experience that Carol provided! From the very beginning, it was clear that she is highly professional with a great deal of experience and genuine care for dogs. Saint was looked after extremely well, and I felt completely confident knowing he was in such capable hands. The communication was excellent — I received frequent updates along with lovely photos, which gave me great peace of mind and allowed me to see how happy and comfortable Saint was throughout the stay. The level of attention, reliability, and dedication was outstanding. It’s clear that this is not just a service but something done with real passion and knowledge. I would highly recommend Carol to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, experienced, and caring :)

Carol looked after my dog Latte for a few days and he had a lovely stay with her. She was kind, thoughtful and kept us updated with regular photos and messages while we were away, which was really appreciated. Thank you again, Carol ☺️

Tillie had a lovely weekend with Carol who looks after her so wonderfully. I know she is always going to get the very best of care while I am away. Tillie is now getting on in years and Carol always makes her feel comfortable and safe. Thank you!

Safety, trust & environment

We have a detatched house with a secure garden and are situated off the main road. There are many good walking areas nearby and we always aim for 2 to 3 long walks a day. If we were to visit your pet at home..we will do so with respect and always care for your pet as you would do yourself. We are available for feeding, short or long walks and will always treat your pet as part of our family. We are able to accommodate overnight stays for small to medium pets. They will be made to feel extremely welcome & cuddles come as standard.

A typical day

Your family pet will be looked after with care and affection and be made to feel very welcome in our home. We will try as much as possible to keep to their same rigime with routine and feeding times and with walks tailored to the pet’s needs; we have nice open green spaces nearby plus fields, woodland & parks in good walking distance. Play time, cuddles and pet conversations during the stay here (or if we visit your home) always come as standard. Our cupboard is always stocked with doggy treats and toys along with blankets and comfortable areas to sleep.

We would need the dietary, walking and sleeping needs, so that we can emulate your pets normal routine as closely as possible and accommodate their needs. The more we can match the normal routine the better it is for your fury family member. Your pets comfort is our priority & if staying with us they will be able to have the run of the home and enjoy the comfort of our furniture including beds too should they want to have a snuggle, to make sure they sleep feeling secure :)
