Happy Dogs, Safe Walks and Lots of Love
Having a dog ourselves, we know how hard it can be to leave your dog behind when you go on holiday, away for the weekend, or even just out for the day. They’re part of the family, and trusting someone else to care for them isn’t always easy. We understand that feeling firsthand, so we’ll always go above and beyond to make sure both you and your dog feel comfortable. We’ll keep you updated with regular photos and messages so you know how they’re getting on while you’re away. Your dog will be treated just like one of our own, while also respecting any routines, preferences, or little quirks they might have. Our goal is to make sure they feel happy, safe, and at home while they’re with us. I have grown up surrounded by rescue dogs of all shapes, sizes, and personalities, which has given me a real understanding of how different every dog’s needs can be. As an adult, I’ve regularly looked after my mum’s three rescue dogs when she’s away. This includes daily care, safe and enjoyable walks and making sure they’re happy, settled, and well looked after at all times. I’m very attentive to routines, safety, and individual needs, whether that’s exercise or plenty of fuss and cuddles on their terms. From personal experience, I know how important it is for dog owners to feel reassured that their pet will be treated as part of the family, and that’s exactly the level of care, love, and respect I give to every dog I look after.

Rae took great care of my dog Winnie. She kept me updated with pictures of her and a route of the walk, I’d happily use her again!
Rae is fantastic!!! Very experienced with dogs - and great with my two nervy rescues. Great communicator, reliable and super nice. Will definitely be calling again!!!! Thanks Rae xx
I asked Rae pretty short notice if she could take care of my Tula and Bluebell for the weekend and she yet again went out of her way, really going the extra mile. She did more than we asked and treated Tula, my dog, like her own. I feel so reassured booking with Rae knowing she will have quality care and company. Thank you so much again. 🥰
Thanks Rae. Grateful for you covering at short notice. And Rosie had a really lovely and settled day with you.
Rae was absolutely amazing went above and beyond for our dog and cat. Super responsive and sent lots of photos of her visits and informed us of how each visit went. Could not recommend her enough. Thanks so much :)
There are very few people I trust to look after my golden retriever but I always know he is in safe and loving hands with Rae and Mel. I know he is always well looked after and showered with love and affection. They have their own dog Dolly who they adore and have always been surrounded by family and friends dogs. They understand and appreciate all dogs are different with different needs which they always accommodate. I know that any dog they look after is happy, safe and loved in their care.

Schedule
One of us currently works part-time from home, so your dog will have plenty of company, attention, and cuddles throughout the day. Alongside us, we share our home with our dog, Dolly, who loves to play and is always happy to give visiting dogs lots of attention. We’re available for weekday boarding, as well as doggy day care and drop-in visits or walks, and we aim to make every dog feel relaxed, loved, and right at home while they’re with us. They are welcome on the sofa and bed for cuddles, if they’re allowed at home of course 🙂
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
We live in a house on a quiet residential road close to Hove Park, with a fully enclosed garden where dogs can safely do their business and enjoy some fresh air. We’re lucky to have great walking routes right on our doorstep, which means plenty of long, enjoyable walks and outdoor time if your dog needs it. Our own dog, Dolly, is out and about several times a day for relaxed sniffs around the neighbourhood and trips to Hove Park, and we’re more than happy to include your dog in these routines so they feel settled, stimulated, and right at home.
Pets
A typical day
We have a variety of enrichment toys and games to keep your pup engaged and mentally stimulated, including interactive dog puzzles. There are also lovely green spaces nearby for regular walks, as well as a park just a short distance away. We’re also not far from the beach, which is perfect for relaxed seaside walks and letting dogs enjoy plenty of new sights and sniffs by the sea. If your dog prefers to take things slowly while they decompress, they’re more than welcome to enjoy the garden at their own pace and stay safely indoors until they feel comfortable and settled. We always follow each dog’s individual routine and comfort levels to ensure they feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for.
