At our home, we provide truly personalised Home from Home care based on your individual dogs needs behaviour and personality. We know that every dog is different. Some might be energetic and painful while others are more sensitive and prefer a calm environment and we can adapt our approach accordingly. Any dog that comes to stay with us he cared for as part of our family with their comfort and safety being the centre of everything we do. We are fortunate to have a very large Secure garden where dogs can enjoy safe outdoor time to play and explore. There was always somebody at home and it would only be an exceptional circumstances that a dog may be left alone for up to 45 minutes.. supervision, companionship and reassurance are a key part of the care that we provide Our home is set up to accommodate different needs so if your dog is trait trained and feels most secure in their crate we have space to provide this if they are used to sleep on a bed or a sofa we can accommodate that too. We are fortunate enough to have three separate living rooms so they would not have to share their sofa with any other dog. We aim to maintain their routines as much as possible but a typical day in our home begins around 7 am with family time between seven and nine with us getting up dressed and ready for the day dogs are walked between nine and 11 and again depending upon the dogs need for exercise so we will tailor that depending upon your dogs needs an age. Within tend to let the dogs have some calm downtime after their walk, but if they prefer to continue to play outside or sit on our lap for a cuddle that’s absolutely fine between around three and five we offer further enrichment for the dogs, so we’ll play ball in the garden and things like that if they want to followed by a further late afternoon early evening walk and then bedtime for our dogs is usually around 10 pm ensuring a calm and settled end to the day We always feed dogs separately to ensure safety and reduce any risk when caring for dogs from different households. We take additional precautions particularly around introductions and all introductions are carried out to ensure the dogs feel safe and comfortable. We are able to keep dogs separate if needed and should separation be required. Dogs will still have supervision companionship and access to comfort in their own allocated space. We as a family have already owned an old English sheepdog, Cavalier King Charles, golden retrievers and most recently Bailey are giant Saint Bernard. Unfortunately, after a very short illness Bailey died in January this year. Therefore, we don’t currently have a dog of our own within the Home, but we are sure that will change in a few more months, as we can’t imagine our life without a dog in it
