Dogs welcome, safe, secure and much loved!
Pet care experience
I have always loved dogs and have owned Cocker Spaniels in the past. At present we do not own our own but enjoy looking after those belonging to friends and family. We would treat your dog as our own, providing plenty of attention, long walks, playtime and cuddles. There may be a time when the dog would be left alone for a short time. This would be agreed before booking to ensure your dog would be happy to be left. Our house has a large downstairs living area and we only allow dogs to sleep in the kitchen in their own bed. If your dog does not normally do this in their own home, we will not consider them to come and stay. This is to avoid disturbed nights and stressed anxious dogs. Please feel free to bring all their favourite toys and bedding to ensure they feel at home. We have a good size fully enclosed garden and great walks are on our doorstep. There are plenty to choose from within 10 minutes in the car or we can walk from home, if your dog is not happy in the car. I normally only board one dog at a time unless 2 dogs belong to the same family or I know the dogs and have both owner's consent. It would be preferable to meet you and your dog first to discuss the animal's daily routine.
Reviews
We asked Judy to look after our dog whilst we were away for a night. I met Judy before hand, with our dog Daffy so she had knowledge of her before going away. Location couldn't be better for walks, secure garden and Judy seems to understand dogs. Kept us informed of Daffy's adventures whilst we were on ours. We would happily leave Daffy with Judy again. Thanks for caring for her so very well.
After Judy first met Zita (our 3 year old dog) we arranged a day visit which went well. Zita then stayed for a week-end, in what we hope will be a long and successful relationship. Judy has warmly welcomed us and Zita. She has shown great understanding and affection for Zita, and quickly established a strong and successful relationship with her. Judy was understanding about Zita being unsettled during her first overnight stay. She has taken Zita on good long walks. Above all, Zita has been given warm companionship in what is clearly a caring, happy and understanding home. We are very grateful: thank you Judy!
We booked a one night stay with Judy for our dog Bella. The overnight stay went well and we would be very happy to book Bella in with Judy again.
Theo had an absolutely lovely time with Judy and her husband. She kept me up to date with photos and videos of his stay and he was clearly having a great time. On arrival although he was happy to see me, he had to do a few more laps of the house before he left. I will definitely be using Judy again. Thank you so much :)
