💕 Your dog is not *just* a dog but one of your family! We know this because we LOVE dogs, and have had dogs for over 40 years! In our house, your dog will feel like they're part of OUR family, loved and cuddled, looked after, and tended to - just like you would do if you were there yourself! 💕 👍 Our Experience: My husband and I have a passion and experience with dog care and handling that has lasted for over 40 years. There is always one and often both of us at home, 24/7. No guest dogs are ever left alone. We have always had dogs ourselves, typically rescue dogs. We work closely with local police forces and have offered a permanent retirement home for police dogs for over 10 years now, and it goes without saying we are approved police dog handlers. Joanne also trained as an instructor under Richard Clarke, who featured as a judge on the TV show "Dog Borstal" and the owner of "Barking Mad" dog training schools. Having struggled to find help for our own dogs, we decided to offer the type of care, attention, and security that we would want for our own dogs! Our house and garden are of course 100% secure and very dog friendly, and would love to welcome your four-legged friend into our spacious home where they would be treated as one of our own family. There is a large and mature garden where your dogs can play, along with ample fields within a very short walking distance for longer walks. We are of course happy to offer stimulating play with searches and tracking in addition to fetch! We welcome (and in fact, encourage!) a visit for you to see our home, garden, and environment to put your mind at rest prior to any booking. Our house is an ‘old build' so cool inside in the summer, and we also have a doggy paddling pool in the summer! The main rooms are air-conditioned and of course, centrally heated for comfort. Due to having our own dogs, unfortunately, we cannot accept small dogs (so dogs under 10kgs), and we don’t accept really young dogs/puppies (under 18 months old).
