Pet care experience
Trusted Family Home for Your Dog
We are a family for four with a clean, tidy home, hard floors, rugs, and a good-sized, securely fenced garden that’s perfect for zoomies or gentle strolls. We’ve owned dogs for over 22 years, both small and medium breeds, and they have always been cherished members of our family. We have previously bred a litter, which we thoroughly enjoyed, and we’re experienced in puppy training, agility, nutrition, and caring for dogs with chronic health conditions. We’re also confident in recognising emergencies and knowing how to respond. Whether your dog enjoys long walks to burn off energy or shorter potters for your golden oldie, we’re happy to adapt to their individual needs. Our love of dogs extends beyond our own home— we organise an annual village dog show and are passionate supporters of animal rescue. We do have consistent house rules: dogs aren’t allowed on sofas, beds, or upstairs. If your dog already follows similar boundaries, we’ll happily maintain them during their stay. No limits on cuddles, tickles and attention. Over the past few years, we’ve sadly gradually said goodbye to our entire pack, all of whom lived to wonderful old ages. They gave us countless adventures, companionship, and treasured memories. Although we’re not quite ready or in a position to welcome another dog of our own just yet, our home feels empty without them, and we miss the joy, fun, and comfort that dogs bring. We’d love the opportunity to give your dog the same love, care, and attention that we’ve always given our own.

Schedule
We both work full-time, but one of us works from home with flexible hours, while the other works just a few minutes away and regularly pops home during the day. This means your dog will enjoy plenty of company, attention, and regular comfort breaks throughout the day. Our evenings and weekends are largely spent outdoors, whether relaxing and playing in the garden, kids activities, exploring local walks, or spending time with our horses. Dogs staying with us will be included in our active family life, with walks, playtime, adventure, and lots of human companionship, while a meeting their routine, exercise, and rest needs.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Secure, fully fenced garden for safe play and exercise. We’re happy to follow your dog’s usual routine, whether they’re crate trained or not. If they prefer a cosy den rather than a crate, we have a comfortable ‘dog’ room where they can relax. You’re also very welcome to bring your dog’s own bed, blankets, or favourite things to help them feel settled and at home during their stay. In fact we’d think it odd if you didn’t.
A typical day
We’ll match your dog’s preferred daily routine and build the day around their needs. This includes walks, playtime, feeding, rest, enrichment, and plenty of affection. Our aim is to provide an enjoyable home-from-home experience for them and us.
