Highlights
Pet care experience
Experienced dog foster carers!
My partner & I are experienced dog foster carers for Dogs Trust. However, we will ensure that we don’t have a foster dog when your dog is in our care. We both grew up with dogs and have experience with puppies, seniors and those with complex needs. Please do not hesitate to reach out!

Ratings and reviews
Gonzo had a great time with Iona and Swan. I was pretty nervous leaving him for the night as he has issues with his back, but I need't have worried, as he was looked after well and got his medication without fuss. He settled nicely and was even a little grumpy when I woke him from a nap to take him home! Thanks again :)

Bussa had a wonderful time with his new pals Iona and Swan and we felt confident that he was being well looked after. Will definitely book again. Thanks to you both for making our time away stress free.

Schedule
We work from home, so we can be flexible around most schedules. Please do let us know what works for you. We live by the beach, which means easy access for walks and trips to the park during the day.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
In our home safety, trust and creating a comfortable environment are our top priorities when caring for your dog. As experienced foster carers, we understand that each dog has unique needs, and we’re committed to providing personalised care for every pup that stays with us. We’ve had the privilege of fostering dogs age from 8 weeks to 12 years old. With each dog we’ve worked on training and rehabilitation, helping them adjust back into family life, sometimes after traumatic experiences. This experience has made us experts in creating a calming and positive environment. Ensuring that every dog, no matter their history, feels at home when staying with us.
A typical day
We enjoy being active and getting outside no matter the weather. Living by the beach means lots of fresh air and swimming (if your dog likes that!). We are also a short drive from the Downs and enjoy exploring new routes up there.
