Your dogs’s well-being is my utmost priority, and I treat each dog in my care as if they were my own. I can assure a stress-free experience by maintaining open communication with you, providing updates, photos, and answering any questions or concerns promptly. My flexible schedule allows for individualised attention and personalised care, catering to your dog’s unique needs.

Helen was amazing. It was the first time dogs, 2 18 month old Dachshunds, had been away from home. They settled in really well and Helen sent me photos and updates each day. Highly recommended and I will definitely use her services again. So much better than kennels

Schedule

I work part-time from home with flexible hours, so I will mostly be able to offer flexibility around times and provide last-minute care, where required. I prefer to offer my services in Shrewsbury due to childcare commitments, but please feel free to ask, as in some cases I may be able to cover other areas.

Safety, trust & environment

Dog Boarding: Your dog will enjoy a safe, comfortable, and home-like environment while you're away. They will receive round-the-clock care, regular exercise, and plenty of love. Drop-In Visits: If you prefer your dog to stay in the comfort of their own home, I can provide local drop-in visits to ensure they are fed, watered, and given plenty of playtime and affection. Daycare: For those times when you need someone to look after your dog during the day, I offer daycare service's in my home where they will have regular access to the garden, which is fenced good sized area with a lawn.

Pets

A typical day

A typical day revolves around providing stimulation, attention, and exercise. This includes taking them for a walk and offering mental stimulation through play. Throughout the day they will receive ample attention and affection, and in the evening, they are provided with dinner and a final walk before bedtime.
