Highlights
Pet care experience
Dog Day Care or Boarding in the Countryside!
We have owned dogs between us most of our lives and currently own a lovely big Wirehaired Pointer called Wilf who is full of fun and mischief! We all love meeting and looking after other dogs and have a lot of experience in boarding and sitting dogs for family and Friends. We are looking forward to meeting more dogs and providing a much needed alternative to kennels. Our dog struggled in kennels, and Rover has been a godsend, so hopefully we can provide the same personal service and peace of mind for other owners.

Ratings and reviews
Thank you so much for looking after Sydney again! Great photos and videos during his stay keeping us updated. It’s such a lovely location with so much space to roam around. We would love to book him in with Graham in the future, highly recommended host!
Cherry had a wonderful stay with Graham. We received lots of lovely photos and videos throughout her stay, which was so reassuring, and communication was excellent from start to finish. It was clear that Cherry was having a fantastic time, enjoying beautiful walks and plenty of playtime with Wilf. She came home as a very happy, relaxed dog, which says it all. We would highly recommend Graham to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter, and we wouldn't hesitate to book with him again. Thank you for taking such great care of Cherry!
Graham is a super host and Sid gets on great with Graham’s friendly dog Wilf. It’s a lovely location with lots of space to run around. Great communication with Graham as well with plenty of updates. Highly recommended and will book again!
Amber is missing Wilf! Thank you Graham, Amber had a lovely stay with you and so pleased that Amber and Wilf have become besties! The photo's and updates were brilliant, especially as Amber has not had very good previous boarding experiences from so called "local licenced boarders in Seagrave and Seilby in Leicestershire". We will definitely be using you again!!
Repeat booking with Graham and he is great - makes the process very easy and I know Henry in great hands. He has such fun with Wilf as well and comes back a happy and tired pup.
Wow, what can I say? Graham is clearly a very experienced dog owner and is so easy to deal with. He reassured me in advance of my dog's first stay somewhere new and kept me updated during the stay. It's safe to say Fuji had an amazing time and seems to have a new best friend in Graham's dog, Wilf. Highly recommend!

Schedule
I work from home Monday to Friday and we are both around on a weekend. Dogs will very rarely be left on their own as I would arrange meetings and shopping etc around the Dog's schedule.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
We live on the edge of a village and have a huge amount of walks available right out of the front door! We also have a large secure courtyard where the dogs can play and a lawn garden for them to explore. We have a large kitchen/snug where the dogs will sleep and they are also allowed on the furniture in here. Your dog would be treated just like our own whilst they are here!
Pets
A typical day
Our day starts with a long walk whatever the weather. If it is a very hot spell we will go out very early to avoid the heat. Our walks are generally out in the countryside and the dogs are free to walk, run or roam around off the lead (or on the lead if requested). We see very few other dogs and there are no other animals on our regular routes (sheep etc..) After a walk and breakfast, our dog usually sleeps whilst I work for the morning. Dogs will have constant access to the enclosed courtyard, kitchen, snug and my office so they can choose where to relax, sleep or play. We usually have a play at lunchtime, maybe with some training, then we can also have a walk later in the afternoon if required. If boarding, our dog sleeps in the kitchen/snug either in his bed or one of the chairs. Your dog would have the same space to choose where to relax. If necessary we can separate dogs if yours has a particular preference or alternative routine.
