Pet care experience

I have experience with caring for puppies, seniors, scared & nervous dogs, quiet & timid, adopted dogs from puppy farms, active, deaf and dogs with special needs. All-rounder! From this experience in boarding/caring for various dogs, I have gained knowledge of dog body language and how to care for all breeds and personalities of dog. I am Canine First Aid trained. I also work as a Dog Groomer from home so am used to handling dogs of all personalities, shapes and sizes. We have a big open field at the end of our street where we walk, and a nice ample garden for them to enjoy.

Laura was absolutely fantastic looking after our basset hound, Norman. I was worried about leaving him after a bad experience recently, and Laura did a great job of putting me at ease with regular photo and video updates. Norman had a great time and easily bonded with Laura and her partner.

Laura was brilliant, it was very short notice & we had not left Fletcher with anyone before, he is a very nervous dog & Laura & her dogs made his day. Will not hesitate to ask Laura to look after Fletcher in the future.

Laura looked after my dog for a week and from booking to visiting, to drop off, to pick up everything was so easy. Laura very clearly understands and really cares for all dogs. I received regular updates, pics and videos and it was very clear that my dog made himself and home and was completely part of thr family. Thank you!

Laura obviously loves dogs! We felt at ease leaving our dog in her very capable hands. We were sent regular videos and images showing a happy dog! This was reassuring to have whilst we were away. Thank you Laura

Safety, trust & environment

I have a safe fenced mature garden with lots of space and grass to roam and play. A 3 bed house with plenty of room to lounge around. I have 5 dogs of my own for your pup to play with who are all very laid back, chilled and used to dog visitors. They would be allowed on furniture and to sleep on the beds, they’re all treated as family and are spoilt rotten!

Information Laura H. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know of any special needs such as dogs that need to be on lead walks, a bit timid or shy, reactive to other dogs, or that may need extra space or reassurance. Dietary restrictions or medications, or anything else you want me to know!

A typical day

We live next to large open fields where we walk daily. Dogs can have lots of fun running and sniffing, there’s even a brook if they like a swim! We also visit Blenheim Palace regularly which is 5 minutes away to enjoy the grounds. We also visit a big rugby field 5 mins away where dogs can enjoy playing and running around - Or just sniffing and plodding if they prefer.

Availability

As I work from home as a dog groomer, so I have lots of time to dedicate and spend with your doggo. I can also professionally groom your dog while they stay with us if you wish - please ask for prices. We have a good routine of walks, mealtimes and bedtimes to help your dog settle in comfortably. We will let them settle in at their own pace & give lots of hugs and attention to help them feel at home, or space to decompress if they need. Most dogs we find settle within a day anyway 😊
