Highlights
Pet care experience
Home from home in four acres of land
We've always kept dogs at home. They live an easy, free life with masses of open space and long walks if needed. All our children are grown up. We have two neutered lurchers, a large garden and a 4-acre field plus easy access to walks (and swims) all around us. We live at the end of a no-through road so it's a very safe environment. Friends and clients say "it's paradise for dogs".
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
As first-time users of a dog boarding service, we were understandably nervous about leaving our dog behind while attending a family wedding abroad. However, from our very first message, Kate completely put our minds at ease. Her communication throughout the entire process was excellent. While we were away, she frequently sent us photo and video updates, which allowed us to relax and enjoy our trip knowing our dog was in safe, caring hands. We are incredibly grateful for Kate's top-tier service and will definitely be booking with her again in the future. Thank you, Kate!
Exceeded expectations on a very hot day.
Jenson had a wonderful time spending the afternoon with Kate. He was in safe hands in a beautiful location, and Kate helpfully sent us a few videos of him enjoying the countryside. Thank you!
My dog Dot recently stayed with Kate .She kept me updated with photos and videos throughout the stay Dot was right at home and I will be asking Kate to look after Dot in the future 👍
I can't recommend Kate highly enough. She is the ultimate professional—kind, caring, and clearly loves dogs. Kate sent me lovely photos and videos of Casper having a blast during his stay. He had an amazing time, and I will certainly bring him back for another stay soon.
Just absolutely first class. Can't sing Kate's praises enough. We wouldn't leave our dog with anyone else

Schedule
I work full-time from home. My two dogs work alongside me when I am in the office and we walk morning, lunchtime and evening. On the odd days I work away, my husband is here so the dogs are always well cared for.

Safety, trust & environment
We try to make sure that our visiting dogs feel like part of the family with lots of love and care as well as attention to any specific needs.

A typical day
We walk a lot or as little as needed. My lurchers like one big walk a day which doggy guests can take or leave, in addition to short walks morning and evening. They also swim in the local shallow river, perfect on hot days.
