Wood runs, park play, and a cosy safe home to rest
Pet care experience
CURRENTLY UNAVAILABLE Firstly I usually board only one dog - yours - alongside my own two. I give your dog a wonderful break whilst you have one too. I have a beautiful placid collie retriever, a playful chocolate lab and an elusive cat. I’m a runner so our walks can be very active with lots of energetic play if that’s what your dog likes. We walk in all weather and know lots of owners at the local woods and parks so there are other dogs to play with if that’s what your dog prefers. Then we come home to relax before an afternoon walk later on. I have a good sized safe garden of approximately 80-100ft where your dog can run and play. I have teenagers who love to play with our dog lodgers and always take them for a last minute lead-walk before bed. If your dog stays over I have an extra large crate if they prefer that or they can bed down in the kitchen or on the landing after sitting with the family in the lounge :-) I’ve got lots of experience with small and medium breeds and my own dogs are very happy sharing their home with another. Recently I’ve had a shih tzu, a British bulldog, a terrier, a lab, a chihuahua, and a spaniel to stay. I only ever have one boarding dog at a time (unless I have agreed it with you) although I may walk one other during the day.
Reviews
Peggy had a great day with Pippa and her dog. Pippa arranged for a pre-visit before her full day so we all felt positive about it. She sent me photos and videos throughout the day and Peggy was very happy. I would definitely recommend.
What can I say? Amber our Cavapoo had a fantastic 2 week stay with Pippa and her loving family. I was hugely worried about leaving Amber as we had never left her for so long, but Pippa made me feel automatically relaxed, and Amber felt straight at home during our first visit. Amber was taken on daily walks and parks with water during the hot weather. We were sent photographs and videos which made us so happy and Amber genuinely looked happy. I thoroughly recommend Pippa and would use her again.
I was really nervous leaving our dog with strangers for a day but I needn’t have worried as Pippa and her family took excellent care of him and he was well looked after. They took him for a lovely walk and kept us updated. We will definitely be rebooking. Thank you!
Pippa was brilliant with Charlie (a boisterous puppy) who had a wonderful time playing with Beau. He settled in immediately and rushed straight in when I took him the second time. Charlie had plenty of walks and exercise, and Pippa sent photos and updates even though Charlie was only there for a day. It's a wonderful home for Charlie to go to when I'm away. Thank you so much, Pippa!
About Pippa C.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
Pets are cared for as I would my own. Dogs sleep in the kitchen or the hallway, or I can crate them if that's your preference. I walk the dogs twice daily and the back door is usually open onto the safe garden.
Home
Information Pippa C. would like to know about your pet
I am generally happy to take care of any dog type except extra large dogs or aggressive dogs. If your dog has a medical issue please do let me know in your first contact with me so I can assess if I feel confident with administering medication. I prefer not to board extremely high energy dogs due to the issue with lead walking not being enough for them.
A typical day
We walk in the local parks and will sometimes visit streams and rivers on longer walks in the Surrey Hills. Dogs remain on leads at all times due to the insurance unless we are in a secure fenced environment.

I mainly work from home. When I'm in the office I arrange for one of my young adult sons to stay at home with the pets.
