Information Carolyn H. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog is reactive. How you would normally manage behaviour such as jumping up or whether they need to be walked on a long or short lead. I will always try and follow the training practices of the owner to ensure consistency in the dogs training.

A typical day

Daily trips to the beach or nearby park are always on the agenda along with playtime in the garden if that’s something that your dog enjoys. If they are more of a couch potato they can cuddle up on the sofa.

Pet care experience

Growing up we always had dogs at home and I owned my large mixed breed bitch for 11 years and in that time we played host to many visiting dogs. I have always preferred a home environment for dogs to be cared for in rather than kennels, and that’s exactly what we want to provide. My two children are used to being around a mix of dogs of different sizes (my girl was around 30kg) and have learnt how to safely play with dogs, and leave them alone when sleeping or eating. We are lucky to have both beach and country walks not far from our house so whether your pooch likes to walk or sleep, we would love to meet them! I have had recent experience of puppy training so toilet and crate training is something we are happy to accommodate ❤️

Barney returned for a second stay and Carolyn gave him a wonderful holiday. I received updates and videos of him happily playing and having fun. He was very well cared for. Carolyn and her family are very good at understanding and meeting your dogs needs. Fantastic.

Carolyn & family looked after Lykke for a second time & we feel so happy that Lykke has somewhere to go where she feels happy & safe when we are away. We appreciate Carolyn & all the family looking after her so well & we will use them again in the future.

It was my spaniel's first stay with Carolyn and her family, and he had such a lovely time it was clear he would have been happy to stay for longer. Carolyn instills confidence. She is obviously very caring and experienced with dogs and is a calm, capable presence. I would be very happy to for my dog to board with her again. Thank you!
