Highlights
Pet care experience
5+years of canine adoption, foster care and love!❤
My husband and I have adopted 5 dogs in our time together - from senior to puppy - as well as fostered over 10 dogs for three different rehoming charities. We treat every dog like a member of our family, and ensure they leave full of love, confidence and TLC. We are used to introducing new members of the household to our current fluffy residents (a puppy GSD and a senior Greyhound) in a positive, planned manner. We love to send pupdates to the families of our residents, so you'll always know what's going on with your baby. All pets that come to stay will be my full responsibility at all times, while my husband will be around to give extra love and cuddles.

Ratings and reviews
We found Nicole at the last minute after being let down by another dog boarder at extremely short notice. I can’t thank Nicole and Dom enough for everything they did for us and Darla from start to finish. Nicole’s experience with dogs was immediately obvious after a well considered meet & greet, making sure Darla was comfortable and that she would get along well with their two lovely dogs, Ben and Mac. Throughout Darla’s stay, Nicole kept us regularly updated with plenty of photos and videos which was really reassuring. I genuinely didn’t worry about Darla once while she was there, as it was clear that she was happy and being treated as part of the family. We’re so grateful to Nicole and Dom for taking such great care of Darla, especially at such short notice. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Nicole again in the future and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a kind, caring and trustworthy dog boarder. Thank you again Amy, Katy & Darla 🐶🐾
Elvis had a lovely stay as always. Nicole always keeps me updated with lots of photos of Elvis, great pet sitter.
Another fabulous 2 week stay for our girl - it’s so reassuring knowing how well she is being cared for - a real home from home with lots of love and lots of reassuring photos for us. Will 100% be back! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Elvis 3rd stay, he loves it there always excited to go in Thank you again
This was Elvis's second stay, he was very excited when we dropped him off which was lovely to see. Nicole kept us updated with photos and videos and Elvis looked like he had lots of fun Thank you for a great stay again
Nicole and Matt were amazing with elvis, we were feeling anxious as it was the first time he has stayed out but they really listened to his needs and we felt totally at ease. The photo updates were great and elvis looked like he was having his own little holiday. Would highly recommend and will definitely be using them again.

Schedule
I work from home full time, meaning I am always on hand for both young and old visitors who may need more regular access to toileting and attention. We walk our dogs twice a day, one long walk for the puppy and a short walk for our senior dog, and can be more active if required. We spend lots of time playing, cuddling and training our dogs - and rarely can I say no to taking a quick break from work to pay them some attention.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
We have a fully fenced, extra large garden allowing pets to run freely off lead. We live less than a 5 minute walk from Cannock Chase and multiple local parks, perfect for pets to enjoy. We have two resident dogs, who are both very accustomed to strange dogs coming and going. One of our dogs is crated, and we have a spare XXL crate readily available if crate care is needed or preferred.
Pets
A typical day
We wake up early and take the dogs for a walk over Cannock Chase, before myself and my husband start work. Our dogs settle into their own routines for the morning, involving snuffle balls, sleeping, cuddles, and likimats. They get an afternoon lunchtime walk where we often meet other dogs at the local park. Throughout the day, they have access to a fenced dog-friendly area of the garden, and of the evening they have open access to the whole garden for runs, sniffs, play time and training.

- We would need to know first and foremost that your dog is microchipped, and insured. Any medications, behavioural concerns, toileting or physical additional needs will absolutely be considered but would need to be discussed ahead of time. We are open to taking care of all level of needs, as long as we are fully briefed and prepared!
