Highlights
Pet care experience
Home Full of Dog Lovers
My partner Tom and I have always loved dogs and have experience caring for a variety of breeds, including Golden Retrievers, Labradors, Jack Russells, Doodles and Doberman crosses. We regularly look after friends’ dogs, and we both grew up with dogs of our own—my Doberman-Labrador cross, Dexter, and Tom’s Shar Pei, Benson. We offer dog walking, drop-in visits and boarding, and enjoy tailoring each stay to suit the individual dog. We’re lucky to have a secure garden and fields just a couple of minutes from our home, so there are plenty of opportunities for walks, playtime and exploring. As both Tom and I work shifts, there are many days when we’re home for extended periods and able to give dogs lots of companionship and attention. We only accept bookings when we know we can provide the time and care each dog deserves. Whether your dog loves long walks, playing fetch, getting out and about or simply relaxing on the sofa, our aim is to make them feel safe, happy and part of the family while they’re with us.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Couldn’t recommend Mia more! She’s looked after my dog Leo multiple times now and I’m always so happy with the level of service! She keeps me updated and even sends pics of Leo when I’m away!
Mia helped me out at short notice, she sent me updates and pictures of Maple on her walks. Will 100% be using her again in the future. Thank you so much!
I couldn’t recommend Mia enough as someone to look after your pet. She’s looked after my dog (who happens to be called Rover!!) multiple times, and I’m not sure who enjoys it more, Mia or Rover! She’s super trustworthy, communicates all the time, and is just generally a great person :) Her house being situated in the countryside means fab walks and a great experience for dogs. Thanks Mia :))
I have 3 dogs and Mia has kindly looked after them on multiple occasions. They all love her and get so excited whenever they go to stay. They are all Labradors so dealing with the 3 of them is not an easy job. She is great with not just dogs but all animals. I wouldn’t hesitate to trust Mia with any of my pets.
5 STARS!! Mia has looked after my labradoodle several times now for both long and short stays, and he is always so excited to see her. It’s like he’s on his own doggy holiday with plenty of long walks, love, and attention. He is a very excitable dog but she has always handled him perfectly and has him out on walks off lead, she really knows what she’s doing. I can tell on collection that he’s been very well looked after, and she’s great at providing regular updates and keeping me informed on how he’s doing. She has a lovely clean, calm home and I’d recommend her services to anyone!

Schedule
As both Tom and I work shifts, our availability varies from week to week. We keep our calendars up to date and only accept bookings when we know we can give dogs the time and attention they deserve. Our shift patterns often mean we have full days at home, allowing us to provide regular walks, playtime and companionship throughout the day and night. We only have availability when we are not on shift.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Your dog’s safety and wellbeing are our top priorities. We have a secure fenced garden and always follow the routine and instructions provided by owners, including feeding schedules, exercise requirements and any medications. We take the time to help dogs settle into their surroundings and ensure they feel safe and comfortable. We are happy to provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident that their pet is being well cared for. We offer boarding, home visits and walks.
A typical day
A typical day will depend on your dog’s needs and personality, but there will be plenty of opportunities for exercise, play and relaxation. We are lucky to have fields just a couple of minutes from our home with access to beautiful walks around Rossendale. Dogs can enjoy walks, games of fetch in the garden, enrichment activities and lots of attention throughout the day. For dogs who enjoy getting out and about, we’re also happy to visit dog-friendly cafés or take them on local adventures. When it’s time to relax, there will always be space for them on them couch.
