Highlights
Pet care experience
Home away from home, with an extra pamper
Me and my partner James have a mutual love for dogs, and we understand how hard it is to leave your furbaby's with anyone whilst you are away, which is why we have opened up our home to give dogs the love care and attention that you would expect to find in their own home. We ensure that you are updated numerous times a day with pictures and videos of your pooch to put your mind at ease and to show that they have the best time, even though I'm sure missing you very much ♥️🐾 Rudi is our very spoilt, pampered pooch A.K.A our child, who loves other dogs and making new friends, whether that's constant play time for the more energetic dogs, or just chilling and napping for the older relaxed dogs! We believe that dogs should be treated like children, and the care of your pooch is of the upmost importance! If you feel that our home would be the perfect place for your fur baby, please send us a message and we can arrange a meet and greet which will allow both you and your pup to get to know us all, we can meet at the local field and then come back to our home so your dogs feels comfortable in the environment (and also you)

Ratings and reviews
It was the first time that I was leaving my Belgian malinois with Gemma and she reassured me from day 1. She is very responsive, wanted to do a meetup before hand to make sure we were both happy and she send pictures throughout the stay. My dog has been taken care of as much as I would have done so I could go away with peace of mind. I was glad that Gemma had a dog because my dog could socialise and play all day long. Thank you again Gemma for the attention and care given to Bjorn.
Our dog Nova stayed with Gemma for a night and she had an absolutely wonderful time. We got plenty of updates and pictures of her throughout the day enjoying herself and was definitely still worn out the next day from all the fun that she had. Would definitely recommend and book again!
Gemma, James and and Rudi, their cocker spaniel, were absolutely fantastic with my elderly dog. They treated my dog like part of their family and were very accommodating towards his needs . Their communication throughout my dog's stay was excellent and they sent me lovely pictures. Highly recommended. Many thanks, Vanessa and Louis.
Snow had the best day ever! I was sent regular updates, photos and videos of them playing around, on walks, and throughout the day. Snow will definitely be going back when needed! Thanks so much
Gemma is a very reliable and responsible pet sitter. Her calm nature immediately put our nervous dog at ease and he was super chilled when I returned to get him. Rufus, our dog, even encouraged me in to her home, rather than bolting for the door, which reassured me that he loved it. Gemma looks after Rufus whenever we can get booked in and he pulls me from the car to her door. Rudi, Gemma’s own dog is very friendly and makes it even more enjoyable for Rufus. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Gemma for pet sitting, so stop reading and get booking!!
We never leave our dog with anyone, or board him. When we went away last year he couldn't come. Gemma and James cared for him for 2 weeks. We went for a settling in session, and I knew he would be cared for, it was home from home. They provided us with updates and pictures regularly. We enjoyed our holiday knowing our precious boy was being treated like a king. Thank you so much. We highly recommend.

Schedule
Once you have booked in and arrived for the stay (boarding/day care) your pup will be greeted by our handsome boy Rudi, with a puppuccino and biscuit, in paw. They will then run off into the large fenced garden with plenty of room to stretch their legs, and play with unlimited toys, there is even a dog jacuzzi (aka dog swimming pool - summer months only) After they have finished playing, and had time to relax, we will take them on a nice long walk where they can sniff until their heart’s content. (If your dog requires less or more activity then please make us aware and we can accommodate) When we return home from the walk, we will give them the spa package by giving them a nice warm bath, making them smell like roses and feel relaxed! (This is an optional service, at the owner's request, free of charge. This also depends on if the dog will feel comfortable as we would not want to put them under any stress) We will then give your pup lots of cuddles and attention, before tucking them in at night time, where they can either stay in the master bedroom with us, or downstairs on the sofa/floor wherever they prefer. We can also accommodate crate trained dogs We will only be taking a maximum of two dogs at one a time in the week and a maximum of three dogs on the weekend to allow us to pour all of our love and attention into your pooches (and Rudi of course) and to ensure that they have a pawfect time and are left wagging for more time at our home 🐾♥️

A typical day
I will play loads of games, with toys and balls or sticks, if you are a water dog I will take you swimming. We will either go over to the large field across the way or venture somewhere new, with lots of new smells to sniff out away from the roads.
