Experienced Dog Loving Family
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.

Ratings and reviews
Lisa was a wonderful person and gave my dog Molly a very enjoyable weekend. She has great walks nearby and a lovely garden which Molly enjoyed playing in. It was a hot weekend and Lisa had the house set up to a delightfully cool temperature for make sure the dogs were cool in the heat.
Lisa was able to look after Waffle at short notice and was very accommodating to my times. She is very friendly and made sure that Waffle had a good time.
Very pleased with Lisa's care. Ralph loved his walks (especially with Atilla!) and was very happy all week. Will definitely be back !
We were so pleased to find Lisa and really grateful that she was able to look after Luna at short notice. Luna is a nervous dog but seemed to have a great time. Thank you Lisa.
Lisa is a really bubbly person and loves dogs which Alfie picked up straight away Alfie had never been away for that long and came back a happy dog so really recommend Lisa for peace of mind with your family pet Thanks Lisa for that peace of mind and helping Alfie to settle in as really appreciated and was able to enjoy our holiday
Awesome and kind lady I was so relaxed with Lisa she knows what she’s doing and Bella had lots of fun. Booked again would highly recommend.

Schedule
Both my husband and I work from home, so we are able to fit our routine around the dogs staying with us and ensure they have plenty of company, attention, and regular toilet breaks throughout the day. We are lucky to live surrounded by beautiful countryside with lots of different walking routes nearby, giving dogs plenty of variety, exercise, and stimulation on their walks. Some of our favourite local walks can be seen in the photos on our profile.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
We provide a safe, relaxed, and loving home-from-home environment for visiting dogs. We live in a large non-smoking house with a fully fenced and secure garden where dogs can safely explore, play, and relax. During the summer months, the doors are often left open so dogs can enjoy free access to the garden throughout the day. Our friendly Foxhound, Achilles, loves having canine company and is very used to sharing his home with other dogs, as we regularly have furry visitors staying with us. Our two children are calm, confident, and respectful around dogs, and love playing ball, giving cuddles, and helping visiting dogs feel settled and part of the family.

A typical day
Dogs staying with us enjoy lots of companionship, outdoor time, and a relaxed family atmosphere. As I am home throughout the day, dogs are rarely left alone and can enjoy regular walks, playtime in the garden, and plenty of attention and cuddles. We tailor walks and activities to suit each dog’s age, energy level, and routine. Around the house there are lots of cozy places to relax, whether that’s near the log fire, stretched out on the warm underfloor heating, or in a quieter cool room for some downtime.
