Highlights
Pet care experience
Cage free home boarding.
I have over 15 years of experience looking after dogs. From walking dogs while owners are at work to doggy day care for those who wish to have company all day for their pets. Then there is home boarding for pets who need somewhere to stay (and don't like kennels) while their owners are on holiday. Luckily, we have a large garden with a large doggy day care cabin just for the dogs with sofas and sleeping beds, and places to chill. photos are on this site.

Brilliant just brilliant they understood Bob the dog and he had a really good time making new doggie friends , well and truley looked after with excellent facilities .. Also fed him to my instructions as with Bob been a beagle he thinks hes always hungry Its a 5 star from myself and Bob the dog :)
Great communication and lovely people. Luna was well looked after ☺️
Mark and Helen were fantastic with Chase! They took great care of him and kept me updated with regular photos and messages. Chase looked so happy when I picked him up, and it was clear he’d been well-loved and looked after. I’d definitely trust them to care for him again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for kind, reliable sitters.
Couldn't recommend Helen and Mark highly enough. Ebony enjoyed her two weeks with them. They gave regular updates and pictures. They were very accomodating. When Ebony became poorly they took her to our vets, but not before asking permission. They looked after her very well and took her back for a follow-up with the vets.
A home away from hime. Our dog was well cared for. We will be using again in the future.
Chewie had stayed with Mark before and you can tell he and his family really care and look after the dogs that stay with them. Chewie always comes back tired which is a sign he's had a good time.

Schedule
Sleeping is usually in the kitchen/diner , however we must admit to being soft in winter when we have let them stay in the living room when it's really cold where the multi stove keeps them nice and warm.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
We are cage free, however we do understand that these are often needed when you are house training and sometimes dogs do prefer to still sleep in them or feel safe in them when training is over. If you wish to bring their cage as you know they will settle quicker when they are boarding please do.
Pets
A typical day
Plenty of socialising with other dogs. For the dogs who come for the day, Play time in the doggy day care. The door to the garden is often left open for them to come and go as they wish
- 0 to 7 kg7 to 18 kg18 to 45 kgSpayed and neutered dogs onlyNo females in heatCrate-trained dogs onlyMark can host up to 12 pets per night
- If you have a male that has not been neutered, sorry, we cannot accept until this has been done. We find that dogs that have been neutered do stand up to unneutered dogs to some extent of sometimes showing teeth and growling, and not wanting anything to do with them. Also, unneutered dogs like to leave their scent ( urine) around the house when other males are around ( even the ones who never do it at home ). I'm sure you can understand this makes for a smelly wee wee-smelling home which is unhygienic.
