Dog boarding and day care in a family home
Pet care experience
My husband and I love dogs first and foremost and have had a number of dogs over the years. We currently have a 5 year old labrador called Fraser. We started helping family and friends out with their dogs and enjoyed this so much we decided we wanted to offer other families somewhere for their dog to stay whilst they were at work or on holiday. We have a secure fenced in garden and our dog loves to have new friends come to stay. We spend our days walking in the fields or on the beach. We have experience with older dogs and puppies.

My 11 month old lab has just stayed for the week with Kate and her family and has made a best friend with her dog, he's had the best week, he has been looked after, pampered and most of all loved, if your looking for a boarder for your dog please contact this lady....she is amazing
Bonnie stayed with Kate and her family for a day and everybody was excellent with her. Bonnie can be a little nervous around new dogs, and Kate and her husband were excellent in letting Bonnie meet their retriever and another labrador staying before the day, then during the day gave Bonnie time to settle in and slowly start to spend time with the other dogs. Got updates during the day and I think Bonnie had a great time with lots of cuddles!
Kate very kindly agreed to look after our two boys with just over a weeks’ notice. We did meet up a few days prior to the stay to make sure our two Labradors were happy with Fraser - not that there were any concerns but a nice touch to agree to meeting up. Kate and her family have done a fab job, plenty of updates and photos. Including a photo of Fraser cuddling into Bailey! Super cute! I think my two labs would have happily stayed longer and were a little disappointed that I picked them up and took them home away from Fraser :) Would definitely book with Kate again and would highly recommend.
Kate and her family were very accommodating to our dogs needs and routine and nothing was a problem! The resident dog was very friendly and got on very well with our dog and there were no issues or concerns during her stay. Kate took the time to send me photos and messages to reassure me throughout our dogs stay and she came home shattered so was obviously being very well looked after and had a lot of fun ! Thank you so much Kate and family, we are now looking at more dates for our dog to come back to you!!

I have a secure fenced in garden and plenty of room for your dog to run around and play with our own dog all day. There is always a bucket full of toys, bones and balls.

Information Kate M. would like to know about your pet
We will always arrange a meet and greet before your dog comes to stay with us so you can see where they will be staying and can be confident that your dog will be happy with us and with our own dog. We will always ask what their usual routine is and ensure that is followed while they are with us. We will ask whether you are comfortable with them being let off their lead in an open field or whether you prefer to keep them on the lead. We will ask about vaccination history and ensure we have their vet details in case of emergencies. Most importantly we will ask you what their favourite toy is.
A typical day
We like to go for at least three walks a day with one longer one and two shorter walks. These tend to be along the wagonways which have plenty of room to run around. Then spend the remainder of the day enjoying the sunshine in the garden or sleeping. We are happy to keep your dog on a lead if you'd prefer or their recall is not very good.

We will always walk the dogs first thing in the morning, lunchtime and then after dinner. We have three older children who love to spend time playing with any dogs we have.
