Please let me know of any special requirements or needs prior to booking, and I will always do my best to accommodate them and remain as flexible as possible. If your dog has never, or only rarely, stayed away from home and you’re considering a boarding stay, I recommend arranging a daycare visit and/or a short overnight stay beforehand. This helps ensure your dog feels comfortable in my home and allows us both to have a relaxed and positive experience.

I like to give each dog time to settle in at their own pace, allowing them to explore their new surroundings, have a sniff around my home and the garden, get to know me, and feel comfortable in my care. We’ll enjoy gentle walks around the local area and, when appropriate, trips to the beach to help them become familiar with their environment. On weekends, I love heading out for longer walks, especially for dogs who enjoy extra exercise (I’m an avid walker!). For dogs who aren’t able to walk long distances, I make sure they still get plenty of enrichment and movement suited to their abilities, with opportunities to safely explore and stay active in ways that work best for them. This is all balanced with lots of downtime at home, including attention, playtime, cuddles, and plenty of love - so every dog feels happy, relaxed, and well cared for.
