Dog friendly and loving home at The Doggy Retreat

Pet care experience

A dog-loving household offering a happy home for toy/small breeds whilst you are away on holiday, or day care for when you are at work. Dogs are part of the family in my eyes, I like to make sure that they feel safe and happy. I walk the dogs along the river one on one, or we go out for a pack walk at Ludwell Valley Park or Haldon Forest. All dogs that stay with us are treated like our own. I love to send photo updates so that you can feel happy and relaxed. I am licensed, insured, canine first aid trained and can administer medication if required.

Sorry for the late review. I changed my phone and lost the app

Ellie visited my little shih tzu yesterday. She sent photos and a video to show how well and happy Scout was with her. It was so lovely seeing how relaxed Scout was and she ended up sitting on her lap! Thank you Ellie.

Teddy had an amazing time with Ellie and having videos and pictures each day reassured us that he was very happy. Would definitely board with Ellie again.

Ellie was excellent from beginning to end. We were on holiday in the area and needed puppy care while we took to kids to a theme park. Our dog still being only 3 months is nervous of playing with adult dogs however Ellie helped him grow his confidence by giving him the time he needed. The whole time I was away from him, I never once for a moment worried about him as even before I dropped him round, I had a feeling of reassurance which continued through to pick up. I’d highly recommended her to anyone looking for dog care. Thanks Ellie.
