Ratings and reviews
Amazing, Claudia was great with Mochi from meeting her family before the stay and ensuring Mochi was settled during the stay and allowing her to sleep with them when she needed to. Mochi clearly enjoyed her stay, will definitely be back
Such a friendly welcome and Colin had an amazing time. Will definitely use again. Thankyou
Claudia and the family were outstanding. The space is a dream for any dog. Super safe and brilliant for dogs who love the outdoors. Regular communication and really helped me out with a last minute request. 10/10
I can’t recommend Claudia highly enough. She has a genuine love for dogs and treats every one as if they were her own. Her beautiful countryside home is the perfect setting, with three acres of secure private land, surrounded by fields, woodland and a stream, giving dogs endless opportunities to explore safely and enjoy the outdoors. Inside, they’re welcomed into a warm family home where they receive plenty of love, attention and cuddles. Claudia is caring, trustworthy and always puts each dog’s welfare first. I would have complete confidence leaving my dog with her and know they’d come home happy, relaxed and looking forward to their next stay.

Schedule
I work part-time in a school, so our current availability is weekends from Friday to Sunday and during the school holidays. This gives us plenty of time to provide proper care, exercise, playtime and companionship while your dog stays with us. We’ll always aim to follow your dog’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding times, walks, rest periods and any specific care requirements.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
We offer home-from-home dog boarding in our beautiful rural setting, where your dog will become part of our family for the duration of their stay. Our spacious barn conversion is set within three acres of secure private land, giving dogs plenty of room to exercise, play and explore safely under supervision. We're also surrounded by countryside with numerous off-road walking routes and no busy roads nearby, making it the perfect environment for dogs who enjoy being outdoors. Our family consists of myself, my husband, our two teenage daughters and our 8-year-old daughter. We're all genuine dog lovers and have over 20 years of experience owning and caring for dogs. Your pet will receive plenty of love, attention and companionship throughout their stay. We also have two friendly Wirehaired Vizslas with wonderful temperaments. They are well socialised, love meeting new dogs and thoroughly enjoy having canine guests to play with. We understand that every dog is unique, so we'll always take the time to follow their normal routine, including feeding, exercise, medication (where required) and plenty of cuddles. Dogs are always supervised while outdoors, despite our secure grounds, and for added peace of mind we also have spare GPS dog trackers available for use during outdoor adventures should owners wish.
Pets
A typical day
A typical day with us is all about fun, adventure and plenty of love. Living in a beautiful rural setting, your dog will enjoy exploring our three acres of secure private land, along with countryside walks through fields, woodlands and beside the stream that borders our property. Every walk offers new sights, smells and adventures in a safe, peaceful environment away from busy roads. Back at home, there’ll be lots of time to play, relax and enjoy cuddles as part of our family. Whether it’s playing with our two friendly Wirehaired Vizslas, Amber and Radar, enjoying enrichment games, or simply relaxing in the garden, your dog will receive plenty of one-to-one attention throughout the day. Our aim is to provide a true home-from-home experience where every dog feels safe, loved and part of the family. We will send regular photo/video updates, so you can relax knowing your dog is having their own countryside holiday while you’re away.

- Before your dog’s stay, we’d love to get to know them as well as possible. Please let us know about their personality, daily routine, likes and dislikes, favourite toys, feeding schedule and any commands they know. If they have any medical conditions, allergies, medication or special requirements, we’ll make sure these are followed carefully. We’d also love to meet your dog before they come to stay with us, so we can make sure they feel comfortable in our home and around our family. We have an 8-year-old child, so it’s important that everyone feels safe, happy and secure. It’s helpful to know how your dog gets on with other dogs, children and new environments, along with any behaviours or anxieties we should be aware of. The more information you can share, the better we can tailor their stay and give you complete peace of mind.
