Friendly family and local walks

We have both always had dogs, growing up I lived on lots of land and always had 4 dogs which I loved to train and walk. We live in an area with immediate access to lots of walks and woodland (short and long) and love to go on long walks in our spare time. We have lots of dogs who visit us part time and are treat like family.

Maxine and her husband were great with my little dog for her stay and she warmed up quite quickly to them. Maxine was able to take Belle at short notice as my partner and I had booed a day out and we found out there were no dogs allowed. If I'm in the area on holiday again and Belle needs an overnight stay I wouldn't hesitate to use Maxine again. Highly recommend

Maxine and the family were so fab with Rufus! He stayed a couple nights with them and they kept us updated with lots of pics and messages - which we loved! Rufus seemed to have a holiday of his own. We’re so glad to have found someone who is brilliant with Rufus and that we can comfortably leave him with, with no worrying. We’ll definitely be getting Maxine and the family to look after Rufus from now on :)

Maxine and Thomas were amazing! Our dog Rodney had the best 3 nights staying with him. They sent loads of lovely updates and he was very well looked after. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with them again ☺️

Maxine and her family took great care of my little Princess Poppy while I was at work. Went exploring with their dogs the map I left them of the local walks and even popped into the dog friendly pub too. Great communication and photos will definitely be using again and would 100% recommend. Thank you !

Maxine and Thomas were absolutely amazing looking after our dog for a week at very short notice. She had so much fun, great walks out and lots of care and attention. We got regular photos and videos which really put us at ease, seeing how much fun she was having. We can’t wait for her stay again!

Safety, trust & environment

We have a fenced front and back yard that backs onto fields within less than a minute, there are a number of short and long walks locally that range from ten minutes onwards.

A typical day

There is a huge amount of woodland near our house and lots of fields so plenty of exercise opportunity. We always use a tracker for extra peace of mind and it also counts steps so we would update you on their daily steps and activity. Previously we had a high energy dog so we know all the tricks to tire them out. We are used to all different breeds and sizes of dogs.
