Pet care experience
Tell your dog I said hi and let them stay a while?
We had our lovely Ellie who was a mastiff who came to live with us in 2018 with big resource guarding issues and she took time to trust us but she was such a sweetheart and we lost her in 2020 and miss her. Then we had Bella the Brindle Rottie choose us in 2021 and she showed us just how sweet Rottweilers are as she was just a chill girl. So, we're happy to just let your dog be the dog they are. All dogs will be treated like they are at a 5* resort, after all, it's their holiday too!

Nicole and Simon, you are just the best!! We spent years using great Kennels, but always found our dogs came back stressed and taking days to get back to normal. Our holidays were always clouded with guilt leaving them in Kennels, what must feel like eternity for them. 2025 was a particularly bad year for our current Dog Buster, who ended up having a panic attack whilst in kennels. 2026 was going to be different, and we needed someone to look after him in a home environment. After searching, we discovered Nicole & Simon on Rover. After an initial meet and greet session with Nicole and Simon, it was clear within a short time that all was going to work out. They clearly love dogs and we could tell this was going to work very well for all. We therefore booked Buster for 19days in July. Buster was treated like a King. He had his own fun packed Holiday of Love, Cuddles, Walks, Treats with Nicole or Simon with him 24/7. Buster truly settled and behaved as if he was at home, but with a lot more attention. On return from our holidays, he was no more excited to see me than if I'd nipped to the shops. Once home Buster he settled straight away, without the multiple days of being in a mood with us all. We cannot thank Nicole & Simon enough for the stress they removed from our family annual Holiday and for the love and care they gave Buster.
Fantastic lady who looks after Noodle like he was her own. We feel so lucky to have found her & don't worry about leaving Noodle when we go away.
Nicole is fantastic - she gave regular updates so we were reassured that Noodle was doing OK, despite this was the first time of leaving him. Can't recommend her highly enough & feel I can relax on future trips knowing he is looked after (spoilt)!!!!
Nicole and Simon were amazing as usual. They gave Marco lots of snuggles, attention and a lovely home to stay in for his holiday. Daily updates and pictures and excellent communication!
Just to say a big big thank you to you both. Tia could not have had any better care love and cuddles than she got. We would 1) Let Tia stay with you again and again 2) Highly Recommend to anyone looking for someone to board their dog that they do not hesitate to book with Simon and Nicole. Wonderfull couple .
From the very first message first class service. Barney loved his holiday and we felt happy knowing he was in safe hands with Nicole and Simon. We had regular updates and photos. Barney has come home happy and content can’t thank them enough xx

Schedule
I work from home and my husband Simon is a shift worker so there's someone at home all the time. Your dog will never need to be or feel alone unless they need space.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Myself and my husband Simon have a secure walled garden with a locked side gate and we're happy for dogs to come for a cuddle on the sofa or at bedtime. They will be treated like royalty.
A typical day
We will check out all the new smells in the neighbourhood every morning and night, keeping it fresh for every walk. If allowed to mix with other dogs, we have loads of walking areas where they can either walk or travel a short distance to (with permission). Whatever the weather we will have fun .
