Highlights
Pet care experience
Active, welcoming doggy home
We have a well cared for Cockapoo of 3 years and we think he's the best! I have had dogs since I was a child and it was important that my own child also had one to love and look after. We are now at the stage of wanting to look after other cute wee fluffballs - my daughters words LOL. We have a strong routine of dog walking and doggy care and would be happy to fit another dog into it.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
We were delighted that Debbie looked after Brodie so well. He was obviously very settled on our return and had certainly made himself at home! Debbie’s family were also very involved in looking after him. She was happy to send messages and photos while we were away. Should we need home boarding again we would love Debbie to take such good care of him again

Schedule
I have all of the school holidays off, so I'm always around during the day to walk, play and care for dogs. For the rest of the year, I work part-time and my husband works from home so there is always someone in the house. We usually walk our dog first thing in the morning, then again for a 'ball throw' mid-morning, another longer walk at the nearby country park mid-afternoon and a couple of smaller evening walks round the neighbourhood. Our dog always likes an indoor play in the evenings so we make sure we get down on the floor with him and his toys.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Our medium sized fenced back garden is ideal for a morning run or to relax in the sun. We have green spaces to the back and right hand side of our garden so it's peaceful and both areas can be used for shorter walks. There is a dog next door and a couple a few doors down but there has never been any issues. Our dog isn't crated, he has the free run of the living room with throws over the couches. However, we'd be happy to crate your dog if requested. We don't allow our dog in the bedrooms, but he has free reign elsewhere. We have experience of caring for my parents elderly dog, Eddie. He was a huge part of my life from a puppy and so when they weren't able to look after him we took him in full time until he was sadly gone.

A typical day
I stick to a nice routine of early morning walk, followed by a mid morning ball throw in a nearby field, then a longer sniffing walk either in the local country park or a place 10-15 mins drive away. In the evening our dog gets a big play with indoor toys or some fun training and then a final walk before bedtime.
