It was Charlie’s first time with Emily and we’ll most definitely be back! Right from the initial meet and greet she put him at ease and it’s really clear she loves dogs Wonderful communication and numerous pictures sent each day - all of Charlie loving his walks in a great open space (with stream which he loves) Thanks so much Emily!

Absolutely brilliant pet sitter! 🐾 It was our first time leaving our dog with a sitter, but the regular updates, photos and videos every day really put us at ease. We knew our dog was happy and well looked after by Emily. We would definitely recommend and use again! ❤️

First time leaving 5 year old Millie with a boarder. Emily did as great job managing my anxiety by keeping me up to date with photos and comments. Millie had a great time. Now booked in for another stay later this year.

Safety, trust & environment

We look after up to 6 dogs at a time,some days are quieter than others! All the dogs live and mix together with us in our home as one happy pack. Garden is fully secure so you do not need to worry.

A typical day

Our days are filled with adventures in local parks and expansive 200-acre fields, weather permitting. Dogs with a good recall get to run and play off-leash, while others stick to a long line. They all love it, coming back tired after a playful romp through long grass and streams. Our garden is large and secure complete with doggy pools in the summer. I'm even considering adding ball pits and sandpits for some extra fun. In the evening, we take walks after dinner, sometimes in the dark, and we've got glow-in-the-dark collars to keep everyone visible. Inside, we've got a variety of toys – chews, puzzles, Kongs – to keep them active, especially on rainy days. It guarantees a happy and sleepy pup at night!

Before bringing your dog into my care, there are several important considerations: *Vaccinations: It's essential that your dog is up to date with vaccinations. •Kennel cough(Bordetella) vaccine is not required but I always recommend it especially for puppies and the oldies who are more prone to it. *Social Behavior: Your dog must be able to get along with other dogs under the same roof. •If your dog acts aggressive towards another guest or our dog you or your emergency contact will be informed to collect. *Behavioral Disclosures: Please inform me of any behaviors such as resource guarding with toys/treats/beds and/or reactivity on a lead. *Before Booking: Prior to booking I offer a free meet and greet for you and your dog to come to our home for a visit. During the visit they will have the chance to explore the garden and main living area. •For longer bookings I may recommend booking in a 1-2 night stay beforehand to get them settled into the new environment and adjusted to me. *Allergies and Medications: If your dog has any known allergies or is on medication, please provide this information, including dosage. *Medical Concerns: If your dog has any specific medical concerns, it's crucial to share these details with me for their well-being.
