Lijo and his family were great. They watched Lola and Nalu for us ad Lond administered Nalu’s medicine and eye drops as she scratched her eye unexpectedly two days before boarding. They kept us up to date with photos and videos during the pups’ stay. We are grateful for their care of our doggies! Thank you again!

We had an absolutely exceptional experience. This lovely young family truly went above and beyond in every way. From the very beginning, communication was constant and reassuring—they kept us updated daily with messages and photos, which made us feel completely at ease. Their love for animals is genuine and obvious. The children were incredibly excited and formed such a sweet bond with Milo—it was heartwarming to see. They treated him as part of their family, and it really showed. When we picked him up, he was visibly calm, happy, and very well cared for. Milo enjoyed regular walks in beautiful rural surroundings and was never left alone, which meant so much to us. It was clear he received plenty of attention, affection, and exercise throughout his stay. They even told us how much they miss him and welcomed him back anytime—which says everything. We couldn’t have asked for better care. Highly, highly recommended. 💛

A typical day

Your dog will enjoy a calm, loving, and safe home environment with plenty of attention throughout the day. 🌅 Morning: The day starts with a toilet break in our secure garden, followed by breakfast according to your usual routine. After breakfast, we enjoy a relaxed walk in a safe nearby area to stretch their legs and explore. 🌿 Daytime: Your dog will have access to our secure garden for supervised playtime and fresh air. Indoors, they can relax in a clean, comfortable living space with lots of attention and companionship. I only care for small and medium-sized dogs to ensure a safe and stress-free environment. 📸 Updates: I provide regular photo updates so you can feel completely at ease while you're away. 🌙 Evening: After dinner (as per your instructions), we enjoy calm family time before settling down for the night in a warm and secure indoor sleeping area. ❤️ I aim to make every dog feel like they are in a true “home away from home.”
