Highlights
Pet care experience
Dog lover with a open heart & home
We have been a family complete with dogs until May 2025. We miss the companion & I want to offer love & joy for other pets into our life's in our safe space of home. I have raised a larger Doberman & a springer in the last 20+ years. I have also been raised with other breads such as Golden Labrador, German shepherd, Staffies, Jack Russell’s & pugs. Each of our family pets attended puppy school & was crate trained. Both really good & gentle whilst supervised at all times around babies, children, adults & other dogs. Due to old age & health conditions meant we worked hard as a family to offer our pets the best loving health care in the home to meet their fitness needs & abilities keeping them stimulated & safe in all stages of life. When needed we sought guidance from professionals to ensure the best care & quality of life was provided to our fur babies. This allowed us to be in tune with our pets likes & dislikes, recall & training when off lead along with understanding other ways to appropriately stimulate love & nurture them. Away from the home we created many healthy experiences for them to mix with other pets & various breads, on beach & woodland adventures. Our home was a fun filled exciting space with varied pet characteristics which we miss. Days out exploring, garden water play, grooming & snuggles by the fire have brought much joy to our lives. This is what I offer for your pets when in our home, when under my supervision as the sole care person responsible for your pet when boarding with me.

Ratings and reviews
Sam had a lovely holiday. , came home full of beans . We got updates and photos from Joyce which was great and great communication for pick up thanks Hoyce. , will be booking again xz
Joyce was absolutely fantastic as a sitter. Couldn't have asked for anything better for Tango. A beautiful home with plenty of space, with woods and walks nearby. Joyce kept good communication and it was clear from pictures that Tango was enjoying himself there (and by the sulking after we left!) Joyce was great on drop off too, showing me around her home and explaining where Tango would be, asking questions about his needs and spending a bit of time with him whilst I was there so I could see how he was too. I'd also like to say that her and her partner are genuine lovely people too, would be very happy to use them again.
Joyce was absolutely perfect and kind. She was very welcoming in every way and made a big effort to take great care of Albie and Digby looking after their every needs. I would highly recommend her to anyone that needs Dog Sitting / Day Care Services
Our 12 yr old lab enjoyed her overnight stay - thank you very much!
Chokky looked so at home when I went to pick him up and Joyce really looked after him like he was her own. He even ate his food which is usually unheard of for him when we are away! Highly recommended
George had a wonderful time with Joyce, he seemed to warm to her straight away, and felt completely at ease! Thank you very much, will definitely rebook in future :)

Schedule
I work from home & can break to walk or step into the garden every 2hrs. The pets can be sat in my presence whilst working & can also be seen with free flow in & out of the property & garden in appropriate weather. I offer great flexibility in boarding 24/7. Last minute care & scheduled bookings are both welcome. I would be able to offer 3pets from the same home at any one time. I am flexible to offer both lead & if well trained with good recall off lead walks twice a day AM & PM.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Our home is big & spacious with open living space onto a sundeck, a large front & rear garden fully enclosed for free play, stimulating controlled play, challenges & snoozing in the beautiful South west facing garden after long woodland walks in & around the Cotswold way. My previous springer spaniel was an anxious dog due to an early operation limiting puppy engagement. He required lots of carefully managed rehabilitation & gradual social interaction in his recovery. During this time I learnt to administer medication, implement training, stimulate & exercise him. All to suit his age, pace & needs to make an amazing full recovery to be a super fit & social friendly adult, much loved family pet. During this time we managed his recovery with crate rest & would be happy to provide this for other pets that also board at the home. I have one large crate at the property more would need to be provided. I offer free range of the upstairs living area of our property for the dogs to roam, explore & relax. We sleep down stairs & this area would be off limits to the boarding pets. If this is a preference for your pet when boarding with me, we would be able to discuss suitability. I have no children living in the home (just 3 adult dog lovers). I will be the primary carer for your pet during the board, but pets will be fussed by all. I have some family with children ages 9+ who are comfortable & good with dogs. On the occasional visit we would carefully supervise them around any boarding pets adapting to the pets needs.
