Pet care experience

Traditional family home dog care

Please note that all dogs MUST be fully house trained as they are allowed the freedom of the house. To ensure that your dog is going to be completely happy, we require they have a single trial night before a booking is taken. We have always owned dogs and since moving to a quiet residential bungalow with a large garden backing onto the local woods, I decided it would be nice to look after other peoples dogs while they were away. I would never put my own dog into a kennel and feel there are many people out there who want a home from home experience for their pet. No bars or cages, just free to roam the house and garden and join in the hustle and bustle of a family home. 2 walks a day in the woods backing onto the house and the prospect of a furry playmate or two!

I have never used dog stitters/kennels before so its always worrying definitely when Vinni is 10 and on meds. I was blown away at how well Vinni got looked after from the level of care and the many pictures and updates as this is always reassuring.how well he settled and knowing his meds were taken care of. I have truly found the perfect home from home for Vinni and will always use again. I can't thank or recommend Melanie enough 🐶💙
