I work from home so I have plenty of time during the day to give dogs attention, company, and care, whether that is a walk, some playtime, or simply making sure they are happy and settled. Julie works Monday to Thursday office hours but is home for evening walks and quality time with the dogs. We love exploring new places and often head out for walks, countryside trips, or weekends by the beach with a four legged friend joining us, and we always aim to make every dog staying with us feel comfortable, cared for, and at home.

About Joshua B.
Communication
Dog skills
Safety, trust & environment
We care for each lovely dog as if they were our own. We are a warm, friendly couple who can easily adapt to different personalities and provide the attention and care your dog needs. We have a fenced garden so we can safely let dogs out for bathroom breaks or for a sniff around whenever they need. We are very attentive and happy for dogs to cuddle on the sofa or in bed, but we will always follow your instructions so we match your dog’s usual home routine. We take regular walks with all dogs we look after, usually one in the morning and one in the evening, but we are flexible if your dog prefers a different routine. Our home is equipped with toys, quality treats, a cooling mat, towels, shampoos, and adjustable height feeding bowls, and we live just a few steps from a local pet shop so we can quickly pick up anything you need. We also have security cameras in the home for added peace of mind.

Information Joshua B. would like to know about your pet
We would love to know anything that helps us care for your dog as well as possible, such as their daily routine, any little quirks or behaviours we should be aware of, whether they travel well in the car, if they can be let off lead in the right environment, or anything else you feel is important. The more we know, the more we can tailor things to your dog and make sure they feel happy, relaxed and at home with us.
A typical day
We love going out for morning and evening walks and we like to mix things up by visiting different places so your dog gets plenty of variety and new things to explore. If your dog is happy in the car we also enjoy heading a bit further afield for beach trips, with favourites being Lyme Regis and Exmouth. We also have toys for stimulation like licky mats, snuffle mats, and Kong toys filled with treats for mental enrichment. We also love gardening and visiting garden centres and often take dogs along for a relaxed wander and a change of scenery.

Pet care experience
Hi, we’re Josh and Julie. We’re lifelong dog lovers and have both grown up with dogs, so having one around has always felt like a normal and happy part of life for us. We’re hoping to have a dog of our own in the future, but in the meantime we love spending time with and caring for them. Over the years we’ve looked after dogs of all shapes, sizes, and personalities - from regular walks with a little Dachshund who needed some extra company, to looking after a lovely Newfoundland while her owner was away for work. We know how hard it can be to leave your dog with someone else, so we always want them (and you!) to feel comfortable and reassured. We provide a calm, safe, and loving home where dogs can settle into their own routine, whether that’s enjoying walks, playtime, cuddles, or just having someone around for company. We genuinely love having dogs around and will treat yours like they’re one of our own and give them plenty of attention, care, and affection while they’re with us.

Reviews
Josh and Julie are very welcoming and are very committed to their boarding service. We recently had to leave Blue and Tully in their care in a heat wave. They were fully kitted out with fans to keep them cool. They walked them early morning to ensure no heat stress. We were updated all through their stay providing us with reassurance that Blue and Tully were having their own little holiday. We would recommend Josh and Julie as perfect dog boarders.
Absolutely lovely people. My dogs had a great time. Josh and Julie were so understanding of our nervousness to leave our dogs for the first time. They were reassuring and sent lots of videos and pics,so we knew what they were doing. Their love for dogs is very clear and with our dogs the feeling is clearly mutual. One of them was reluctant to get in the car! Sad that they're not available when we next need a sitter.
Thank you Joshua and Julie. Shadow had a great time with you
Thank you to Josh and Julie who have truly spoiled Rebel on his first stay with them. They have gone above and beyond to look after him and to ensure that he did not go without his cuddles. We cannot thank them enough and look forward to the next time he goes to stay with them.
