Highlights
Pet care experience
Loving, energetic family
We helped to raise my dad’s dog for 12 years - a staffy - who was so loved! We used to look after him when my dad was away, at weekends and for longer stays. My husband Paul had dogs growing up as a child. We are looking at getting our own puppy in the future and want to spend time with other dogs and our children to see if this is something we can commit too! It’s better to sign up to a couple of weeks rather than 15 years until we’re 100% sure we can make such a big commitment! Our boys are so loving and really want a dog to entertain and bring along to one of our lovely family walks so we’ll get the best of both worlds looking after someone else’s pup until we can get our own! I am a teacher so can commit to looking after your dog in the school holidays only to ensure I can give it my full attention and love!

Ratings and reviews
Natalie and her family were absolutely great with Milo. So much so I’m not sure he wanted to come home!! Would not hesitate to recommend Natalie (who clearly loves dogs) and Milo will be back!! Thank you
Jax was very well looked after but a great dog loving family. I would recommend them to anyone. Jax was very entertained all day and came back a very tired boy. Thanks
Fantastic as always!! Can tell that Poppy is made to be part of their beautiful family when she's there. I get lots of pictures of her while she's there and she's always excited as we go in. Would highly recommend. I've never felt any worry about leaving her there. Can tell that they're a loving caring family and they really enjoy her company.
Natalie and family were really great with Max, he had a great time and he was really well looked after and cared for. She always responded quickly and communication was really easy and they were friendly and welcoming. Thank you!
Natalie and her family did such an amazing job looking after Bobby. We had lots of photos throughout his stay and he had lots of walks and play time which he loved. We could tell Bobby was very content and we felt very relaxed leaving him. Would definitely use / recommend Natalie. Thanks very much
Really lovely family, can tell that Poppy was made to feel welcome. Had lots of pictures sent which is always nice. Would definitely recommend x

Schedule
I am a teacher so would only be able to commit during school holidays to ensure I can give your dog all of my love and attention for its stay with us. In the holidays, you’ll find us going for long walks and trips to the beach! We can also help out at the weekends too!
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
We have a large, fenced garden which would be more than safe to allow complete freedom for your dog but they would always be supervised/ played with whilst using the garden. We’d be happy to follow any rules you have about safety and welcome a guidebook if needed! Happy to keep the dog on a lead when out walking if you’d feel more assured by this. We’d be happy to let your dog on our furniture if this is something you usually allow - but it’s a no to my bed sorry! Maybe for cuddles of course but not to sleep throughout the night.
A typical day
We have a huge field and brook a 2 minute walk away from our house. We also go out for lovely walks to local country parks and sometimes drive a bit further a field to beaches and other beautiful places.
