Kerry took in our dog Milo at short notice for a week and we feel so lucky to have found her! Milo had a great time staying with Kerry and her family and he was happy, relaxed when we picked him. He clearly enjoyed his walks, play and human attention! It's great to have found a sitter who we can leave Milo with and have complete peace of mind!
Perfect as always. Happy dog. Great communication and updates thanks :-)
Roxy loves staying with Kerry and she quickly settles when back home.
Moonie had an amazing week with Kerry.she kept us well informed about his walks and sent photos aswell. He had a home from home experience.
Another perfect stay for our boy . he gets excited as we approach Kerry's which is a good sign. Thanks :-)
Murphy stayed for four days with Kerry. Kerry kept us updated everyday with photos and tracks of their walks. Murphy was incredibly well looked after with Kerry even going out to source grain free food when our supply ran out due to terrible planning on our behalf! Kerry was also really relaxed when there was a replacement bus service on delaying our return. Murphy was relaxed and happy when we picked him up having chosen his place on the sofa. We will definitely be using Kerry as a dog sitter again! Thanks so much for looking after Murphy so well.

Schedule
We are a professional, experienced, family-run dog boarding business dedicated to providing exceptional individual care for every dog entrusted to us. We understand that every dog is different. They have their own personality, routine, preferences, confidence levels and emotional needs. That is why our boarding experience is carefully tailored to each individual dog rather than expecting every dog to fit into the same routine. What to Expect Before your dog stays with us, we take the time to understand them. We want to know what makes them happy, what they enjoy, what they may find difficult and what helps them feel safe and secure. During their stay, their care is built around them. Some dogs love activity, exploration and plenty of play. Others need a quieter pace, reassurance and time to settle. Some may be nervous or experience separation anxiety. We adapt our approach accordingly, giving each dog the individual attention, patience and understanding they need. Our aim is to create an environment where dogs can relax, build confidence and genuinely enjoy their time away from home. Our tailored approach is designed to minimise unnecessary stress and can help reduce anxiety by allowing each dog to be cared for according to their individual needs. More Than Boarding We don’t want your dog to simply be somewhere while you’re away. We want them to feel as though they are having a holiday of their own. Their stay can include fun, play, exercise, enrichment, companionship, affection and plenty of opportunities to relax. We balance stimulation with downtime so that your dog has the chance to enjoy themselves without becoming overwhelmed. Our experience allows us to pay attention to the small things — body language, behaviour, changes in mood and individual preferences — so we can respond to what your dog is telling us. A Family-Run Business With a Personal Approach Being family-run means that personal care is at the heart of everything we do. We build relationships with the dogs in our care and take pride in getting to know each one as an individual. We understand that leaving your dog can be difficult, which is why providing you with reassurance and your dog with a safe, loving and enjoyable experience is so important to us. We don’t believe in treating dogs as numbers or simply following a standard boarding routine. We believe every dog deserves to be understood, respected and cared for as an individual. Our commitment is simple: Professional experience. Individualised care. A safe and loving environment. Plenty of fun. And a holiday that’s tailored entirely around your dog. Because when you leave your dog with us, you should be able to enjoy your time away knowing that they are not simply being boarded — they are being cared for, loved and enjoying their own holiday, their way.

A typical day
There is no one-size-fits-all routine here. Every dog has different needs, energy levels and preferences, so each day is tailored around the individual dog. Morning — A Calm Start The day begins calmly, allowing every dog to wake up, settle and start their morning at their own pace. We check how each dog is feeling and make sure they are comfortable, happy and ready for the day ahead. Morning toilet breaks and exercise are adapted to each dog’s age, ability, personality and usual routine. Breakfast is provided according to their normal feeding instructions, giving them familiarity and consistency while they’re away from home. Morning Adventures Once everyone is settled, it’s time for some fun and enrichment. Depending on the individual dog, this could include walks, play, exploring, games, scent activities or other forms of mental stimulation. Some dogs thrive on lots of activity, while others prefer a gentle walk and plenty of time to explore at their own pace. We follow what suits the dog rather than expecting every dog to do the same thing. Midday — Relaxation & Individual Attention After activity comes downtime. Rest is just as important as exercise, particularly for dogs who may become overwhelmed or anxious in a new environment. Dogs are given time to relax, sleep and recharge, with individual attention and reassurance throughout the day. We use this quieter time to give each dog one-to-one interaction, affection and enrichment suited to their personality. Afternoon — More Fun & Enrichment The afternoon brings another opportunity for activity and engagement. This could be another walk, playtime, training games, garden exploration, scent work or simply spending quality time together. For dogs who are more energetic, we can provide appropriate stimulation. For dogs who are nervous, older or prefer a quieter experience, their afternoon can be much more relaxed. The aim is always to finish the day with a dog who feels content rather than overstimulated. Evening — Dinner, Cuddles & Wind Down Dinner is given according to your dog’s usual routine and feeding instructions. The evening becomes calmer, giving dogs the opportunity to settle after their day’s activities. There is plenty of companionship, affection and reassurance before bedtime. We want the evening to feel peaceful and familiar, helping dogs understand that they are safe and that they can relax. Throughout the Day Your dog receives more than just scheduled walks and meals. We observe their behaviour, mood and body language throughout the day so we can adapt their care when necessary. If your dog needs extra reassurance, more rest, additional play or simply some quiet one-to-one time, we adjust accordingly. Their holiday is built around them. That’s what makes our approach different. We don’t promise that every dog will follow the same timetable. Instead, we provide the structure, experience and individual attention needed to create a positive experience for each dog. Our goal is for your dog to finish each day feeling safe, settled, stimulated, loved and happy. Because this isn’t simply dog boarding. It’s their own holiday, tailored around who they are.
