Safety, trust & environment
We live on a quiet, safe, street and our back garden is completely enclosed and inescapable with a six-foot fence and the back gate being locked and secure. Our back garden is backing into a small park/playground, so no road traffic at all! Additionally, we have two major parks - Nightingale and Cherry Hinton Hall. Our female Labrador, Dana is very friendly and will welcome your pet with open paws :) She is super gentle and chilled. Our son is 13 years old and is a kind and caring boy who loves animals. If your dog is a bit of a loner and wants to be left in peace, we can accommodate this too - they can stay in another room or even in our cosy garden office (where my wife works) with regular or, if you wish, unlimited access to the garden. We have experience caring for elderly and blind dogs. We are also skilled in administering medication and injections.

Please let me know as much as possible about your dog before they come to stay - their likes, dislikes, routines, medication, health. Please also let me know their current status regarding flea and worming treatments, vaccinations, insurance and registered vets.
A typical day
Both my wife (who loves dogs as much as I do) and I work at home part time, and will give your dog plenty of attention. During your stay your dog will be well looked after in our loving family home and have plenty of opportunities for fun and stimulation, or as much peace and quiet as they like. Your pet will have as much doggy company as they like with Dana, who is our 4 year old fox red Labrador. Dana's a lovely dog who is very friendly, fun and gentle, and a bit of a clown (see photos). Let us know if you need us to carry on any behavioural training let us know, as we have experience in this and my wife had taken a whole course for that before we got Dana.

CB1, where my wife and I are ready to welcome your canine companion with open arms. Meet Dana, our lovely fox red Labrador. She's been a part of our family since she was a little pup and, at 3 years old, she's the heart and soul of our home. We reside in a cosy house on a peaceful street, and our garden? It's a good-sized, fully enclosed haven, perfect for some quality doggy playtime. Our neighbourhood is a dog's paradise too. Nightingale Recreation Ground and Cherry Hinton Hall are just a short stroll away, offering ideal spots for those essential daily walks. If your pup is up for a bit more adventure, Wandlebury County Park and Magog Down are a quick drive away. So, why consider us for your pup's stay?

Plus, your pup will have the delightful company of Dana, our Labrador extraordinaire. Now, a bit about my history with dogs. Growing up, we had a wonderful family mutt, and my grandparents had a spirited Jack Russell – a bit of a character and deeply loved. The other grandparents had a beautiful “Lassie” style Rough Collie with whom we spent countless hours playing. Meanwhile, my wife had a Bolognese during her childhood, and in the early days of our marriage, we shared our home with a wonderful Siamese cross cat. With Dana and my lifelong affection for our furry friends, rest assured that your pup will be in good hands. We bring a wealth of experience, love, and a warm environment to ensure your dog has a fantastic stay. Can't wait to meet your four-legged companion and create some wonderful memories together! 🐾
Reviews
Gareth is lovely and Gizmo loves spending time with him when we go away
Gareth was awesome. Looked after Moose for just shy of a week, and kept us updated with some really nice 'photos and even a short video. I was nervous at first about how Moose might react to Gareth's dog Dana and other furry visitors and to ensure that Moose would be a suitable guest (!) but Gareth was very responsive and accommodative of a meet and greet, that went very well! I'm very pleased that Moose had the opportunity to socialise a bit more closely with a few other dogs including Dana as part of the stay. Thanks Gareth!
Gareth was very flexible and easy going about our (rather short notice) arrangements. He is kind and responsible and very knowledgeable. Our cockapoo had a great time with him and we would definitely recommend him and would use him again without hesitation.
Our dog had her first overnight stay with Gareth. She was very well looked after with photo updates for us. Thank you!
