Kali’s Cottage doggie at your service!

Our mantra here at Kali’s cottage is that it's your pup's holiday too and we strive to make sure they have the best experience so you can all have an enjoyable, relaxing break! I’m at home full time so your dog will always have supervised company. I live in a semi rural area with loads of green space on the door step. I’ll tailor every doggy’s stay to meet their individual needs. I’ve raised & trained three different puppies from eight weeks to adulthood. I’m especially experienced with large breeds but can cater for all sizes, we have our own laid back golden retriever, who gets on very well with everyone..he absolutely loves having play mates here! It’s a very loving, fun, happy environment..never a dull moment!! I’m at home full time so very flexible. I can fit around around you no problem and can be fully flexible on drop off and collection times…I’ll do everything needed to ensure you can rest easy while your pup is here, with communication as often as you need I live in a two bedroom house with a fenced garden (which our own pup Freddie adores)..a front room and a living room..plenty of space to relax or have fun..We also have gated areas for separate meal times and if they want a bit of "me" time, though as we only accept fully socialised dogs (mostly regulars we are privileged to say!) they do enjoy the pack time. If your dog is a little nervous at first, it's nothing to worry about, we have a tried and tested means to make sure they soon feel safe and confident to join the group in no time! You'll receive daily updates for your confidence and reassurance, so you can have a relaxing holiday knowing your beloved pup is doing the same 😊 We have limited availability so please drop a message to discuss dates and meet and greets are a must in advance of any booking too, for everybody's peace of mind 😊🐾

The best pet sitters you could wish to find. Complete peace of mind whilst we were away, even with an older dog. I could tell how well cared for my three dogs were by how well Emma and Nick had got to know all their personalities. Very communicative as well, always friendly and professional.

Another fun stay for Raley with Nick, Emma and Freddie. Looks like he had a great time playing his friends and it put our mind at rest to see the photos of our happy boy 🙂

Nice guy , tells you want you to hear but fact is , we paid nearly £600 for 10 days in the comfort of knowing our baby was having a holiday too. We never got one photo of her on a walk , every picture we got of our dog had at least 3 other dogs in it , honestly the list is endless would I recommend him again absolutely not

Louis has been to stay with Emma and Nick multiple times. He absolutely loves it there. Most times he doesn’t want to come home! Amazing sitters!
