Pet care experience

5 star licensed and insured.

Hi, I am a licensed home boarder awarded 5 stars by the council. We have a fenced in garden, and stair gate in the hallway to prevent any doggy escapes. We live in a quiet area a short walk to the park. We crate one dog and our other is not crated. We have space to crate your dog or not as per your request. We do keep the children’s playroom and upstairs pet free. We own a variety of pets, my husband and I are home daily so we have plenty of time for walks and play and your dog will have play and nap times as he would in his own home We have a stair gate to prevent escapes from the front door and a fenced and gated secure rear garden. We have facilities to separate dogs for some quiet or alone time. And we will feed animals separately to avoid any food squabbles.

Unfortunately Helen had a family emergency but said her son could look after Albie instead. Everything went smoothly and Albie was happy!

Helen has looked after my dog before. She always leaves super happy, and more importantly, very tired. Will use again!

Schedule

As a family we have our own mini zoo we love being out for walks. With 4 kids and multiple pets there is never a dull moment. We love all kinds of dogs and we look forward to having yours come to play. I have 4 children I’m home everyday and my husband also works from home meaning our pets and yours are very rarely alone. Sometimes our dogs have a pavement walk but most often they are in the park or across a field.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a secure garden with a locked gate, we live in a quiet area. Our rabbits are screened off from the main garden to avoid stress to the rabbits and the dogs. Our cats generally live upstairs. We have multiple stair gates so we can keep all dogs safe and separate if needed. The garden is sectioned to provide opportunities to separate unsure dogs, to provide the dogs with space without children if needed, and the children space from the dogs if needed. All dogs are separated for food and sleep.

Pets

A typical day

We will visit the local park daily for a walk and play as per you pets needs, or a quieter wooded walk dependant on each dogs abilities and comforts. We love to play games and a short pavement walk before bed. In the nice weather the house is quite open for our dogs to roam in and out as they like. With someone always at home there is time for naps and many toilet breaks.
