Pet care experience

Homely Dog Care, Minch Common.

If you’re looking for a loving, reliable home-from-home for your dog, you’re in the right place. I’ve had dogs for over 21 years and genuinely love caring for them. I currently have Dinky, my friendly 11-year-old terrier, who absolutely loves having other dogs around. I’m lucky to live right on Minchinhampton Common, which means scenic walks straight from my doorstep. Your dog will enjoy plenty of exercise and fresh air every day, whether they love long walks or gentle strolls. I’ve spent years looking after friends’ dogs while they’re away, so I understand how important it is to leave your dog somewhere they feel safe, relaxed and cared for. I treat every dog like my own, giving them the attention, routine, and affection they’re used to. I’m experienced with: • Senior dogs and those needing a slower pace • Administering medication • Special diets and feeding routines • Dogs who need a little extra reassurance or cuddles I keep owners updated with messages and photos so you can relax knowing your dog is happy and settled. I’m always happy to arrange a meet & greet beforehand, it’s important that both you and your dog feel completely comfortable.

Doggy Day Care • Jun 07, 2026

We left our dog Eddie with Rachael while we visited Amberley. Eddie has a little bit of separation anxiety when we leave him alone. Racheal took great care of him and made sure he was looked after. She sent us videos and pic updates. Recommend highly if you are looking to leave your dog in good hands.

Rolo had a great time with Rachel and I know that she really looked after him, taking extra special care during a heatwave.

Safety, trust & environment

My garden is fully enclosed, fenced and gated. Having a terrier, I am very accustomed to escape artist dogs and the safety and comfort of any dog will always be my priority during their stay, I also have an Westonbirt Arboretum membership, should your dog want to explore slightly further afield.

Pets

A typical day

I’m situated just behind the Amberley Inn, so have a great choice of walks on my doorstep. For weekend stays, I’m happy to take the dogs further afield to Westonbirt - if you feel this is something they would enjoy.
