Ratings and reviews
Last minute request for our dogs to go to doggy day care, and they had the best time! Thank you so much xx
Mags was great - it was so reassuring to know Milo was in safe hands & he seemed to enjoy his stay. Thanks Mags!
As always a brilliant stay. Ours my mind at so much ease and treated Zelda as one of her own.
I was very nervous about leaving my 10 year old Greyhound, but Magdalene put me at ease with the house set up, her approach to introducing Lacey to the new environment and her knowledge. Thank you for going above and beyond to look after Lacey and cater for her needs/cheeky requests!! Especially during the heatwave.
Thanks very much to Magdalene for stepping in last minute when we needed two days of daycare. She was professional, asked good questions, was safety conscious, and our Munsterlander Dora came back happy and tired! Thank you.
Murphy had a wonderful stay Thankyou

Schedule
I work from home and my husband is a part time carer for his elderly mother so we are able to work between us to provide a flexible service to you depending on your personal requirements. This gives us the flexibility to provide daily drop ins,day care,house sitting or holiday boarding. We have two separate secure garden areas where dogs can be slowly and safely introduced to our own dogs. Or your dog can have its own separate area and garden access. We have a van and crates if your dogs need collecting. There will always be one of us present during your pets stay with us or our stay in your home.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
We will adapt to your schedule and your pets needs. We are happy to travel for house sitting. We are able to offer care for other animals by negotiation including livestock and birds. Johns 15 years as a small holder and a goat farmer included milking up to 40 goats per day and caring for his own cattle, pigs and sheep. Maggie's experience working with horses on stud farms While we are not currently offering any riding we would be happy to turn out, change rugs and feed horses and give basic care to other larger animals that live on the property. We will leave your home as clean and tidy as you leave it. We will be as unobtrusive as we can be while we care for your beloved creatures. In our home we have various different rooms including a sunroom where your dog can find a safe and relaxing spot to curl up in and a secure garden with tall fencing for your dogs potti breaks.

A typical day
We will work with your dogs to provide them with stimulating walks which cater to your dogs energy levels. We can safely transport your dog as long as it is crate trained in our peugot boxer to the woods or to a fenced in dog park. During our time in your home there will always be someone present to meet your dogs needs. While your dog is at our house we have different rooms including a sun room where your dog can find a peaceful corner to lie down. If your dog needs bathing and grooming I can offer this service but am currently not clipping dogs.

- If you can be as detailed as possible about your dogs character, feeding and walking routine, any behavioral issues or quirks, any do's and don'ts then this will make it a much smoother for your dog and us. Please be as detailed as possible. Especially about their behavior around other non family dogs. We do have our own dogs but these would only be introduced to regular clients if we felt confident that everyone would be happy about it. While we have dog beds available, If you think your dog would be happier with his own bed please by all means make this available as well as any coats and clothing that your dog is accustomed to wearing.
