Highlights
Pet care experience
Licensed, loving home for your dog
We are a husband and wife team with a shared love for dogs. As a family of four there is always someone going for a walk and on hand to play and care for your pet, as if it were our own. Living directly opposite the park makes this our “go to” regular walk, although we are always adding new venues and activities with lots to smell and places to run and exercise. At home we have a securely enclosed garden with several mature trees and lots of bushes providing a never-ending supply of squirrels to chase. There are deliberately no flower beds or no-go areas to ruin the fun. Our current pet is the fourth dog we have owned and totals just under 50 years of experience with loving and caring for them. We understand what a beloved member of the family your pet is and why it is essential to find the right care service for them. Fully licensed and insured. Licence Number 114088/25

Ratings and reviews
Emma & Julian took great care of Bert and made the whole process very easy. I would highly recommend and wouldn’t hesitate to rebook again. Thank you so much!
Julian and Emma are such a lovely couple, Monty had another wonderful stay with them and is booked in for another visit, thank you for taking such good care of him.
Another fantastic experience and a lovely holiday for our dog. Wonderful to leave her knowing she is such safe hands and regular photos of her having a great time. 😊
Julian and Emma took care of Daisy as if she were their own. Their communication was excellent throughout, sharing photos of her during walks and when she was relaxing. They handled her picky eating with kindness and patience. Daisy came back home happy and relaxed. I would absolutely book with Julian and Emma again and have no hesitation in recommending to others.
Home from Home! When you just know your pet dog is going to be more than looked after, you get that sense & to be honest, we've boarded 'Humphrey' over the years at a select few homes, but having just picked him up this morning from Emma & Julian's we could not have picked a more lovely welcoming, warm (despite the heat) and loving family for H to spend a couple of days with. He's had a fantastic time, mixed well with all, looks like he's been more than pampered and spoilt & looks as though he's slotted in perfectly.... what more could you ask for!? (No they don't do B&B yet lol) but thank you Emma and Julian, perfect hosts, kept us informed, plenty of walks, food/meal-times absolutely spot on, and now back home, he probably, in a dogs world had a great time. We cannot recommend enough, lovely warm genuine people a pleasure to have met! Looking forward to the next stay! it will be home from home without doubt. Thank you both.
A big thank you to Emma and Julian for having Dylan to stay at short notice. Emma and Julian were very welcoming and thorough in finding out about Dylan’s daily routine and little quirks and needs. I was most reassured by this and knew Dylan was going to very well looked after. Their dog, Millie, was very patient with Dylan too as he was very excited to have her company. When I collected Dylan he was clearly a very happy boy and very comfortable with Emma and Julian - I know he had a good time being with them even though it was during the June heatwave! Dylan is looking forward to going back one day soon I just hope Emma and Julian will have space for him and not be too busy with other dogs staying!!
