A home away from home for your pup

Your dog’s comfort, routine, and happiness are our top priorities. We provide a calm, home based environment where your pup can feel settled, stay in their routine, and enjoy social time with our two friendly dogs. 🐾 Meet Our Dogs: • Ludo (Rottweiler, 5 years): A calm, gentle boy who loves his bed, walks, and treats. • Theo (Golden Retriever, 3 years): Playful, friendly, and always happy to make new doggy friends. What We Offer: • A safe and peaceful space where dogs can relax and feel at home • Gradual introductions to help each dog settle in at their own pace • Support for maintaining your dog’s usual routine • Daily photo updates so you can see how they’re doing • Outdoor play, quiet time, and lots of attention — tailored to their needs Whether your dog is playful, shy, energetic, or easygoing, we adjust to suit their personality and help them feel comfortable from day one. Please check our reviews to hear about other owners experiences — we’re proud of the care we provide. Message us to arrange a meet and greet — we’d love to welcome your dog into our home.

Gemma has looked after our golden retriever Poppy multiple times now and we are always confident Poppy will have a great time. Gemma keeps us updated regularly with pictures and videos which we really appreciate.

It was our first time leaving Nina, I was very stressed but upon talking to and then meeting Gemma I could see how she loves dogs as much as I do. Gemma kept me updated with how Nina was getting on. I actually think Nina didn't want to come home 🤣 thank you Gemma

B and B had a great time at Gemma, they have been really looked after with plenty of walks and nice treats. Gemma was sending us a daily update to let us know what they have been up to. I definitely recommend Gemma for any boarding required and will definitely rebook next time I need to.

Gemma was amazing! She accommodated our booking super last minute and her communication was excellent, always making sure to give us a daily pupdate. Pea seemed really happy with Gemma and her partner and their two lovely pups. It was great to see pics of her snuggling with them 🥰. Their house has the perfect set up for dogs and they went the extra mile to ensure Pea settled well with them for the week. Would 100% recommend Gemma to everyone looking for a sitter. Thanks so much again for looking after Pea for us ❤️

After being let down by two sitters, Gemma was able to help us out at short notice, before we met up she gave me all the information about how she would look after Peggy and what her routine would involve, everything was very professional and made me feel at ease that Peggy would be well cared for. On drop off everything was all sorted ready for Peggy’s arrival, and plenty of time was given for her to get used to her surroundings at her own pace. Gemma gave us daily updates with pictures of Peggy’s day, and she was always kept busy. I can’t recommend Gemma enough, we will definitely be using her services again

Calendar and availability

Schedule

I work full-time from home, which means I’m here throughout the day to give your dog attention, regular toilet breaks, and plenty of company. Walks, feeding, playtime, and rest are all spaced out naturally as part of the day. We keep things calm and consistent, so your dog can settle in comfortably while sticking to their usual routine as much as possible.

Safety, trust & environment

We have a large, securely fenced garden where your pup can explore, play, or just relax in the shade. They have full run of the back garden, which includes a paddling pool and sprinklers for hot days, as well as plenty of cool, shaded spots to escape the heat. Inside, our open-plan layout gives dogs lots of room to move around and find a comfy place to settle. We also have a bright conservatory that’s perfect for sunbathing or quietly watching the garden.

Pets

A typical day

We love taking pups for walks or runs in the park, playing fetch or tug-of-war, teaching them new tricks or commands, providing puzzle toys or treat-dispensing toys for mental stimulation, and giving them plenty of love and attention through cuddle sessions and belly rubs. Additionally, if there are any specific activities that your pet enjoys, we are more than happy to accommodate their preferences.

We will make sure to fulfill any special requests you have for your pup and keep you updated on their progress. Your pet's needs and preferences are my top priority, and we are committed to providing the best care possible for them.
