Every day at my cottage begins with a gentle wake-up and a warm greeting in a calm, cozy environment designed to make your dog feel right at home. After a healthy breakfast, it’s time for the first adventure of the day—a walk either around the secure, fully fenced garden or out to one of the stunning nearby local trails. These trails offer wonderful opportunities for your dog to explore new scents, enjoy fresh air, and get some exercise. Some favorite nearby spots include The Tarka trail known for its peaceful woodland paths, and Westward Ho beach ,where dogs can safely splash in the water and play along the shore. Back at the cottage, your dog will enjoy plenty of one-on-one attention throughout the day. This includes playtime in the garden, interactive toys and puzzles in their private doggy room, and lots of relaxing downtime in sunny, cozy spots inside the home. I tailor activities to match each dog’s energy levels and personality, making sure every pup stays happy, engaged, and comfortable. Meals and potty breaks follow a consistent routine based on your dog’s needs, helping to reduce stress and maintain their usual schedule. In the late afternoon or early evening, we’ll take another stroll—perhaps along the beach or a quiet trail—to wind down and enjoy the peaceful surroundings. Plus, during each stay, every dog is guaranteed one special outing or activity—whether that’s a fun trip to the local pet store to pick out a new toy or treat, or a visit for a delicious “pup cup.” These little extras add a special touch to their stay and make sure they feel truly spoiled. At night, your dog settles into their own private space filled with familiar toys and comforts, perfect for a restful sleep. Throughout their stay, I provide regular photo updates and detailed communication so you can relax knowing your furry friend is safe, loved, and thriving.
