🏠 Our Home We live in a detached three-bedroom house with a large, bright and sunny fully fenced garden in a beautiful green area in Chafford Hundred. We are lucky enough to be right next to Chafford Gorges Nature Reserve where we walk the dogs in our care regularly. We love visiting our very many local parks and surrounding dog-friendly spaces, including wide-open fields and forests only a short walk away. We do not have children, so our home environment is calm and focused on the dogs in our care. Dogs are welcome on the sofa and beds if that's what they're used to at home. We only ever crate dogs if part of their usual routine, and if we are boarding dogs from different families, each will have their own room to sleep in. Dogs are always fed separately and supervised when interacting with other dogs for maximum safety. Between sits, we clean our house thoroughly for our next doggy guests. We are also a 5-minute walk from our local Medivet for peace of mind! . 🥎 What We Provide We have ensured that every room in our house is dog-friendly and set up for playtime and comfort. We have everything from different-sized dog beds, blankets and cooling mats to air conditioning for the dogs in our care. We provide all of the essentials (aside from your dog's usual food) including: toys for different play styles, enrichment puzzles, kongs and licki mats, bowls & travel bottles, towels, poo bags & puppy pads and a wide range of healthy, natural treats. We keep spare leads of all types, "I'm staying with my sitter" ID tags with our details on them and wearable nightlights while your dog is staying with us for extra security. We have daily grooming supplies, from deodorising shampoos and wipes to brushes for different fur types. We also keep a doggy first-aid kit for all kinds of ear, eye, skin, paw and digestion concerns. Your dog will be kept secure with a safety gate at the front door and will be supervised by both us and our pet cameras. Should we have permission to take your dog on an outing, they will be secured in our car with a doggy seatbelt. We also have a water fountain and all dogs have access to fresh, filtered drinking water throughout the day, as well as an air purifier to help dogs with seasonal allergies. We have thought about as many things as possible to ensure that your dog is given top-quality care. . 🐶 Our Dogs & Our Intake Policy We live with our two Pomsky girls, Nala and Willow, who we adopted from a rescue in August 2025. Our girls are experienced doggy playmates. At four years old, they are relaxed around other dogs. They enjoy cuddling on the sofa with their friends and playing in the garden if invited! We house up to 4 guest dogs at a time (unless two are from the same family). For the safety of all of our dogs, we are unable to accept dogs who display aggression or are uncomfortable with us handling them. We generally accept only neutered males (unless they are puppies or returning doggies!) but we accept unspayed females out of season. Dogs who repeatedly mark during their meet & greet may not be suitable for boarding with us. We are unable to accept dogs who persistently hump or bother other dogs at this time. All dogs must be comfortable with being left alone for up to 1 hour (in a camera-supervised, secure room without other dogs or in their own crate) in order for us to walk other dogs while they are with us. 🏥 We also require that the animals in our care are vaccinated and up to date with their flea and worming treatments.

🦴 What We Get Up To During The Day Every stay is different! We ask for your dog's daily routine to cater to their needs the way you do at home. We offer a variety of enrichment activities during the day, from personalised playtime to freezing or baking doggy treats! We get the paddling pool and splash mat out in warm weather, go on outings to the pet shop and even watch doggy tv with our guests! For our higher-energy doggies, we go on longer and off-lead walks, and spend time brushing and cuddling our seniors. We occasionally hire a secure field for the dogs to run together and play freely in. We also love photography, and take lots of photos and videos of them in action. We sometimes take them on dog-friendly outings, meet up with our friends with dogs and find dog-friendly cafés too!
