I work from home permanently, and therefore your dog will never be without company! This means plenty of time for walks, playing and cuddles whilst they’re staying with us. On the weekends I love to visit new places, and will happily bring your dog to the beach and the New Forest or local parks.

Fantastic! From the first meeting we were confident Sam would have a great time with Gemma and her family and it certainly proved the case. With daily updates, pictures and videos we could see how happy and settled he was and it meant we could enjoy our holiday just that little bit more!

Sadly Gemma completely ruined our weekend. After being told that just their dog Teddy would be there I turned up to drop my dog off and there were 3 dogs there. After 2 hours they messaged to say my dog wouldn’t settle (unsurprisingly) and the tone clearly meant that they wanted me to pick him up. Family weekend festival cancelled and a lot of money down the drain. These guys are clearly very unprofessional and not dog people. Their dog had to be shut in another room when I was there as it was completely out of control going crazy and barking. Wish I’d stuck to my guns and walked away there and then. I can only advise other people to avoid.

Gemma gave great updates and took great care of Pepper in the heatwave. Pepper clearly had a great time with Gemma, her family and the dogs, would def recommend Gemma and will be booking again!
