Let your dog have a fun holiday with us!
Pet care experience
In my home, we have always been dog lovers! For a long time, my mum did not want to have our own dog, but my uncle, who travelled a lot, was leaving his at our home for long periods, and I was always caring for her, a beautiful, lovely Golden Retriever. After a few years, when my uncle's dog died, my mum was finally convinced of getting our own. I used to be in charge of walks during my teenage years, and I really loved it. Four years ago, already married and with a flexible job, I adopted my own dog, a female Spanish Water dog called Praia. My dog is a huge part of our lives now, we schedule our activities always thinking about her, we spend most part of our free time outdoors, and keep her confy and full of loving cuddles at home. We do agility, and I learnt the basics of dog training, so I could help with young or energetic dogs!
Reviews
Bernie loved his stay. Very happy. Regular photo and video updates, will be booking again!
Molly and Duke were well looked after, had plenty of walks and we appreciated the video! Thanks for your care ?
My dog is an old dog and sometimes irritable and would refuse to eat if we are not around. Lara was very caring and had taken very good care of him. Lara had let us know when she have any concerns, and she sent us some photos and videos of our dog, which is very assuring. Would definite return if we need boarding again:)
Lara did a fantastic job of looking after Minnie. She clearly loves dogs and sent regular updates and photos. Minnie had a great time and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Lara!

Safety, trust & environment
My dog is crate trained, and she loves to stay in her crate to rest and feel safe. If you have a crate, I would be happy to take it during your stay. Dogs are allowed on the sofa, but not in beds. We have an unfenced garden in which we spend time playing when the weather is good, and useful for short breaks during the day. The dogs are never alone in the garden, I am always looking after them to prevent accidents.
Information Lara P. would like to know about your pet
I need to know about everything that you think it is important for me to know: have your dog had a bad experience with humans/other dogs/children? are they food-motivated? do they require any special treatment, food, medication, activity...? are they crate-trained? can they stay alone in the house for a few hours? do they sleep by themselves or in company?
A typical day
We usually go to the park twice a day, and have a great fun chasing squirrels and balls. If I have enough time (not every day on weekdays), we drive to a nearby reservoir for a change! In the house, I have several intelligence feeding toys and like to practise tricks.

Availability
I have a flexible job, and usually work from home. Normally, I walk with my dog three times a day, morning - after lunch - evening, but I can easily provide extra potty breaks in our garden. If I need to go to the office, it is usually for a short period of time, e.g. four hours in the morning.
