We are a warm, caring, dog-loving family offering a safe and relaxed home-from-home environment for your dog while you’re away. As lifelong dog owners with over 25 years of experience caring for many different breeds — including rescue dogs — we understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and individual needs. We are experienced with energetic dogs, nervous dogs, and those who may need a little extra patience and reassurance. Our family loves the outdoors and daily walks, and our friendly Foxhound, Achilles, absolutely loves having canine company to play with both at home and on walks. We regularly have furry visitors, so he is very sociable and used to sharing his space. We live in a large non-smoking home with a fully fenced and secure garden where dogs can safely explore, play, and relax throughout the day. During warmer months, the doors are often left open so dogs can enjoy free access to the garden. We also have plenty of cozy sleeping spots around the house, whether your dog enjoys curling up near the log fire, relaxing on the warm underfloor heating, or finding a quieter cool room for some downtime. I am home throughout the day, so your dog will have lots of company, regular toilet breaks, attention, and supervision. Dogs are treated as part of the family here and are welcome on the furniture for cuddles and relaxation. Our two children are calm, confident, and respectful around dogs. They love playing ball, giving cuddles, and helping visiting dogs feel safe and settled. We know how important it is to leave your dog somewhere you fully trust, so we are always happy to provide regular updates and photos during their stay for extra peace of mind.
