We have our own 2 year old Toy Poodle, Toastie who absolutely loves meeting and playing with other dogs so your pup may even make a new best friend! Our home is a calm, dog friendly environment where we aim to keep your dog’s normal routine as much as possible. We’re happy to follow your instructions around meals, walks, sleeping arrangements, medication and any little routines that help your dog feel comfortable and settled. Meet & Greet First Before accepting a booking, we’d like to meet you and your dog first. This is important to us because we want to make sure your dog is comfortable in our home and that they’re a good fit with Toastie too. We’ll take a little time to get to know their personality, how they interact with other dogs, their energy levels and any particular needs they may have. Our priority is that all the dogs in our care feel safe, happy and relaxed. We’d also love to hear about your dog’s normal routine what they eat, when they sleep, how often they go out, what they enjoy, and any quirks or rituals they have! What Your Dog Can Expect * A home environment rather than a kennel * Someone at home throughout the day * Plenty of affection, attention and companionship * Playtime and interaction with Toastie, where appropriate * Regular toilet breaks and walks appropriate to your dog * Their usual feeding routine wherever possible * Plenty of rest and quiet time when they need it * Photo/video updates during their stay, so you can see how they’re getting on * Individual attention and care based on your dog’s personality and needs * A genuine effort to make them feel like part of the family We understand that every dog is different. Some want to play all day, some prefer a quiet corner and some need a little extra reassurance when they’re away from their owners. We’ll always try to work with their individual personality rather than expecting every dog to fit the same routine. Additional Services We’re also happy to accommodate requests that fall outside our standard care for an additional fee. We’re very happy to discuss your dog’s individual needs before booking and agree any additional charges with you in advance, so there are no surprises. A Few Things We’d Like to Know When you enquire, please tell us about your dog, including: * Their age, breed and personality * How they are with other dogs * Their normal feeding routine * Their exercise requirements * Whether they are house-trained * Any medications or health considerations we need to be aware of * Any fears, triggers or behaviours we should know about * Their sleeping arrangements * Any favourite toys, treats or comforts * Any routines or little rituals that make them feel at home Come and meet us and Toastie, we’d love to see if we’re the right home away from home for your pup!
