Animals have always been part of my life. Growing up, we always had dogs and other pets, and caring for animals has come naturally to me from a young age. For the last 10 years, our family shared our home with our much-loved French Bulldog, Woody. We recently lost him very suddenly, which left a huge hole in our hearts. While no dog could ever replace Woody, we're looking forward to opening our home to other dogs and giving them the same love, care and attention that he enjoyed. I've also regularly looked after friends' dogs, including a lovely Labrador who I cared for well into his senior years. This has given me experience with different personalities, routines and needs. My husband, Laszlo, is my additional caretaker and shares my love of dogs. Between us, there's usually someone at home to provide company, care and plenty of attention for our furry guests. What makes us different is that we only welcome dogs from one household at a time. Your dog will enjoy a relaxed family environment, a secure garden, walks to the nearby park, plenty of company and, if they're used to it, lots of sofa cuddles too!
