Highlights
Pet care experience
Space&care to share with our awesome pup, Lucy!
We have time and space to welcome 1-2 pups into our home so they may share the fun with our amazing pup, Lucy. Lucy is a vibrant, smart and playful cockapoo. More than anything she loves other dogs! We read every dog behaviour & care book before bringing her home and train her by using positive encouragement and treats only! Both me and my husband have prior experience with dogs, growing up, and we are so happy to be in a pisition where we can have our own pup. We continuously learning more about behaviour/training/psychology/nutrition to care for her in the best way! We have a 7 year old girl who is gentle and loving towards our pup and our friend's pets. She has learnt alongside us and trains and feeds our puppy daily. Also loves to play with them. We would love to extend our care to more dogs whose parents have to work or travel.

Ratings and reviews
Diana and her family were very attentive and caring with Nata during her stay. It was easy to see that they are comfortable around dogs and genuinely care about them. They kept us updated regularly and were also very proactive in asking about Nata and how best to look after her. In particular, they checked about carrying her up and down the stairs and using the lift, which we really appreciated as dachshunds should avoid stairs where possible. Nata seemed very happy during her stay and enjoyed being around the other dogs so much that she didn’t want to leave! Thank you so much, Diana and family. We would definitely be happy to leave Nata with you again.

Diana and her husband Phil were absolutely fab, really communicative and I could tell my dog, Apple was staying in safe hands. Would definitely book with them again!

Fantastic! Saved us last minute and took such good care of our pup! They really know what they’re talking about and were brilliant all round, will definitely use them again. Had frequent updates and videos of our pup Mable which was reassuring as it was our first time using rover and also leaving Mable. Highly recommend Diana to look after your pups, thank you again!

Diana and her family are wonderful with Cooper. He clearly has a fabulous time while he’s there. We get lots of photo updates which gives us peace of mind while we are away. Cooper gets lots of exercise and love while we are away; he doesn’t want to come home!

Cooper clearly had an absolute blast! He settled in immediately and so we could get on with our day with complete peace of mind. Many thanks!

Schedule
Both me and my husband work from home so we take turns walking our own pup twice a day (in the morning before school drop off and in the afternoon). We can fit additional toilet breaks in as and when needed through the day and at night (used to have to do midnight and 6am with our pup in the past so no problem). Our morning walk is short but the afternoon is a good, long fun filled park run. We also fit in regular play times and training sessions through the day. We feed 3 times a day (cam accommodate more). Our routine is the same every day of the week.
