Highlights
Pet care experience
Home from home experience
Hi, I’m passionate about providing a true home-from-home experience for dogs in my care. Animals have always been at the centre of my life, and I’ve built my daily routine around their wellbeing, happiness, and comfort. I offer a calm, loving, and safe environment where your dog will be treated like part of the family. Whether it’s cuddles on the sofa, playtime, or relaxed walks, I tailor each day to suit your dog’s individual needs, personality, and routine. Your dog’s safety is my top priority. I am trained in pet first aid and always stay attentive to their health and behaviour, giving you peace of mind while you’re away. I also keep communication open with regular updates, so you can feel confident that your dog is happy and well cared for. With me, your dog won’t just be boarded—they’ll be welcomed, loved, and cared for as if they were my own. My full qualifications are: 🐾 canine first aid & CPR 🐾 Dog grooming Level 2 🐾 Pet sitting & Animal training 🐾 Canine communication diploma 🐾 Pet nutrition Diploma In addition to boarding, I have my own home grooming salon where I provide gentle, stress-free grooming services. I offer bath and brush treatments, nail cutting, and natural body cuts to keep your dog looking and feeling their best. I focus on making grooming a positive experience, taking my time and working at your dog’s pace. also come from a family farm where we care for a variety of animals, including horses, sheep, donkeys, and goats. Being surrounded by animals every day has given me a strong understanding of their behaviour, needs, and care. This hands-on experience means I’m confident, knowledgeable, and attentive when looking after animals of all kinds. I have experience caring for older dogs and understand the extra patience, comfort, and attention they need. I’m confident in administering medication and following specific care routines, as I have previously looked after senior greyhounds. This has given me valuable experience in supporting dogs with age-related needs and ensuring they remain comfortable, calm, and well cared for.

Rossi stayed with Rachael and her family for a week and we're over the moon with how happy and healthy he was when he came home. In fact im pretty sure he enjoyed it that much wanted to stay there! Regular messages and photos of how he was doing and loved how content and relaxed he looked. We won't hesitate to let him have a holiday there again!
