Highlights
Pet care experience
Lvl 3 Qualified, Insured
I love dogs, we have always had dogs in the family and currently we have a very cheeky husky. I've raised from puppies as well as adopted older dogs. Recently I have completed an Ofqual certified Level 3 Daycare and Boarding correspondence course with the Institute of Modern Dog Trainers, and am now considering what the next steps in my development will be. I spend a lot of time with dogs, and am constantly developing my understanding of their body language and needs.

Ratings and reviews
Nala loves staying with Dom, she’s always happy to go and we know she’s well looked after, playing in the garden and going on lots of walks. He sends us updates during her stay which gives us peace of mind whilst we’re away! The only person we trust with our fur baby
Always amazing, this was the longest we’ve been away from our dog and Dom was fantastic. Made us feel really comfortable and at ease.
Dominic was absolutely brilliant with our dog Bessie. Communicative, kind, thoughtful and punctual. Bessie came home very happy!
Eddie had a lovely day stay, as always a very happy dog to stay with Dominic he treat's him like his own dog.
Dominic was great with Reign! Very friendly and Reign was well looked after with lots of walks and play :)
Thanks again Dominic for having Eddie at short notice.

Schedule
I am a full-time dog boarder and walker, so am able to adapt my schedule to your pet's needs and be with them almost all of the time. Dogs that are boarding with me are walked twice a day, have lots of socialisation, and treated with enrichment toys and games.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have a fenced off garden and a friendly husky to play with your dog. Dogs can pick which sofa/bed they are most comfortable on. It's a very relaxed and friendly environment. Each dog boarding room has heating, ventilation and is monitored with a camera so. Dogs from different homes are boarded in separate private rooms. Dogs are introduced in a safe, supervised fashion and are allowed to mix while supervised if compatible. I only accept vaccinated dogs. The house has fire extinguishers, doggie first aid kits and the hard floors are treated to provide more grip to your pet. I also do drop-in services, if you would rather your dogs stayed at home, as well as solo & group walks.
Pets
A typical day
Boarding dogs will have 2 walks a day with me & Thunder (the husky). We take regular garden breaks to investigate interesting smells and chase a ball around. When walking dogs, I am consistent in discipline, getting them to wait at the edge of roads before receiving a command to cross and so on. If there are specific trainings you have been working on with your dog, let me know and I will help keep the consistency while you are away.

- If there are any specific medical needs, or anything you would like your dog to avoid (for example one regular client is scared of traffic, so we avoid walking by roads where possible), then I will do my best to accommodate. I always recommend a meet & greet to make sure our dogs are compatible, and that I can ensure a stress-free stay for your dog. Dogs must be vaccinated and up to date with pest treatments please.
