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.

Ratings and reviews
Theo stayed with Tom and Mia for 3 nights, and we couldn’t have been happier with the care he received. They sent us lots of photos and updates throughout his stay, which was lovely and reassuring to see. Theo clearly had a fantastic time enjoying the countryside walks and taking in all the local farm life. They even took the time to brush him every day, which was especially appreciated as he was shedding quite a lot during his visit. Tom and Mia were both kind, friendly and polite throughout our conversations on the app, and it was clear that Theo was very comfortable and happy in their home. He came home completely knackered in the best possible way, and it was obvious he had thoroughly enjoyed himself. We’ll definitely be looking forward to having Tom and Mia look after Theo again. Highly recommended!
Tom and Mia are a really nice couple with a lovely house. Dotty had a lovely time for the few days we left her and we got lovely pictures with her out in the fields. We will definitely be returning back if we ever need dotty to stay somewhere again. Thank you!
We recently took Pluto to meet Mia and Tom for a meet-and-greet, followed by a one-night trial stay before his 8-night holiday with them in August. Pluto settled in really well and seemed very happy and relaxed. They have some fantastic walks right on their doorstep, which Pluto thoroughly enjoyed exploring. Throughout his overnight stay, Mia and Tom kept us updated with plenty of photos and messages, which was incredibly reassuring and gave us complete peace of mind. Based on our experience so far, I have absolutely no reservations about Pluto staying with them for his 8-night holiday in August. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for caring and reliable home boarding.
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 :))

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. Our calendar is regularly updated. As we both work NHS shifts, we receive our rota in blocks, so you may notice future dates marked as unavailable. Once our shifts are confirmed, we update our calendar straight away and open up any dates we’re free.

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.
