Thank you Colleen for stepping in at short notice. Zebby is tired out and happy.
Colleen helped us check in on the dogs while we were out do the evening. She went above and beyond what we expected for a house visit. The dogs were looked after so well and they were very happy to see her again :) thank you Colleen!
Colleen is always so reliable. This time having to walk 2 dogs and it wasn’t a problem at all! Always great communication and the dogs have the best time with her. They were both towelled down and left in the house clean so they haven’t ruined the sofa😜 Thank you so much
Colleen looked after our Husky Neo for a day and was fabulous with him! She even came to meet Neo in a park before hand as I was a little worried about how Neo would be, but she was very understanding and good with him. I would definitely recommend Colleen and will be leaving Neo again with them! Thank you so much!
Obi had a wonderful time with Colleen and her family for a long weekend. He got spoiled rotten with pup cups and sofa cuddles and I got loads of lovely pictures of his time away. Thank you so much 🩷
Sammy had a lovely stay. Great comms and nice safe place for my dog to stay

A typical day
Certainly! Here's a revised version that incorporates your updated details and keeps the tone warm and inviting: --- Our Home and Daily Routine Both my husband and I work from home, which means your pet will have plenty of company throughout the day. Our routine includes multiple daily walks—usually into town, through the local park, or along peaceful woodland trails. We tailor our outings to your pet's energy level and preferences, typically going out 2–3 times a day. We also have a fully enclosed backyard, perfect for safe outdoor time. On nice days, I often bring my laptop outside and relax while the dogs enjoy some sun and fresh air. Our home is calm and pet-friendly, and your pet will be treated like family. Whether they’re active and social or prefer a quiet corner to relax, we’ll make sure they feel comfortable and cared for.

- I'm also the proud mom of a relaxed and friendly French Bulldog who gets along well with other dogs. She’s calm, sociable, and used to sharing her space, but we do ask that our four-legged guests are comfortable being around other dogs—even if they prefer a little personal space within the home. Your pet is welcome to make themselves at home—whether that means curling up on the sofa, stretching out on the bed, or finding their favorite cozy spot. Walks can be tailored to your pet’s needs: they’re welcome to join me and our Frenchie, or enjoy solo outings if that’s what suits them best. For everyone’s comfort and safety, we do ask that all visiting pets are neutered. If your dog has any specific boundaries or quirks when it comes to interacting with others, just let us know—we’re happy to accommodate and make sure they feel secure.
