Dogs really are our best friends

Pet care experience

I’ve been brought up in a dog filled family and have owned 3 dogs myself, training them from puppies and being with them through all life stages including specialised medication. I have also been a dog foster carer for a Bull Terrier charity, collecting dogs from difficult situations and helping them regain trust in us. I also regularly look after a vets chocolate brown lab cross .

5 stars isn’t enough for Melissa and Steve. If you’re looking for boarding then honestly look no further. They were absolutely amazing with Jackson. He very clearly had an incredible time with them both and bonded with them like they had all known each other for years. While we were on our family holiday we received updates and photos on how his day had been, which was lovely too see as he had been having so much fun. I honestly can’t thank them enough for the time they had him for us. Completely genuine and lovely people who clearly love animals. If I could rate them 100 stars I most certainly would.

Absolutely AMAZING! Melissa stepped in very last minute and saved us. Wally had a fantastic time, tons of photos and updates even when we were very slow at replying. Will definitely be using your services again!

Melissa and Steve are such genuine dog lovers, I felt at ease right away after meeting them and knew Oakley would be well looked after and spoilt. Oakley is looking forward to his longer stay next month and I feel so reassured to have two lovely people looking after him. Thank you so much!
