Safety, trust & environment

Your dog will be kept on a harness and lead when outdoors. I use either a 5-metre adjustable lead or a 20-metre long line, depending on your dog's comfort level, to allow safe freedom while maintaining full control. Off-lead walking may be considered once I have assessed their recall and behaviour, and this has been mutually agreed. Their safety is always my top priority.

Information Denise T. would like to know about your pet

To ensure a safe and relaxed environment, please let me know your dog's routine and care needs when requesting a booking. I would like to know what type of diet they will arrive with (kibble, wet etc.), any details of illnesses or medications, how they behave around other dogs and people, any history of anxiety or reactivity, and if they can settle calmly in a home environment. Please note that all dogs must be fully up to date with their regular flea and worming treatments.

A typical day

Depending on your dog’s preferences and your approval, their day may include interactive play at home with their favourite toys, local park walks, a car outing to the beach and elsewhere if they enjoy travelling, or a visit to a dog-friendly café or pub. Their stay is always tailored to your dog’s energy level, comfort and personality, including a gentle pace should your dog be naturally lower-energy or a slowing-down senior.

Exclusive 1-to-1 Household Dog Care

Pet care experience

I offer 1-to-1 household-exclusive day care and overnight boarding, strictly on a one-household-at-a-time basis. Your dog or dogs will receive my full attention in a calm, home-from-home environment. Because dog care is my full-time work, I am present throughout their stay to provide consistent care and attention. I’ve cared for dogs, cats, and other animals throughout my life, with experience across a wide range of breeds, personalities, and care needs. Until April this year, I shared my home with my Yorkie cross, Tilly. She came to me as a nervous ex-breeding dog, and with time, patience, and care, she blossomed into a confident, playful and gentle companion. I was lucky to share nine wonderful years with her. I’m not ready for another pet of my own yet, but I miss having a dog in the home, which is why I continue to offer my services through Rover. Your dog will be cared for with the same kindness, patience, and attention that Tilly received throughout her life. I live in a ground-floor flat, which is ideal for dogs of all shapes and sizes. I have a small, private, fenced area with stones for toileting. If your dog prefers not to use this, I can easily take them on a harness and lead to the nearby communal garden just outside my gate. I provide regular photo, video, and message updates for your peace of mind. I take my commitments seriously, and only accept dogs I feel are a perfect match for my home environment. ✦ Please read my full profile, including the following three sections before requesting a booking — A Typical Day • Safety, Trust and Environment • Information I Would Like to Know About Your Pet. ✦

Denise was amazing and I won't hesitate to rebook her. Lexi really enjoyed herself, taking walks and playing. Denise was fantastic at communication - sending lots of pictures and keeping us posted on how Lexi was doing. All in all a great experience.

Denise was absolutely fantastic with our rescue dog Todd. She went above and beyond to make sure he had a lovely stay, we have never known him to be so happy and calm when away from us. Denise made sure we were totally reassured throughout and we would highly recommend Denise to anyone looking for home boarding for their dogs. Thanks so much again Denise 😍

Denise took great care of Willis once again, he gets along really well with Tilly and I’ll definitely use Denise again.

Denise took great care of Willis again. Lots of photos and updates and Willis clearly enjoyed himself! I’ll definitely be booking with Denise again.
