A home from home holiday cottage for your fur babies. Thanks for viewing my rover profile! I’m really lucky to be able to offer doggy day care, dog walking and dog boarding from my beautiful home near Abergavenny and Crickhowell on the border of Monmouthshire and Powys. My setting, love for dogs and passion for walking make it impossible for me not to share my time and space with these gorgeous animals. My rural setting has an enclosed garden plus an extensive field so plenty of space to exercise on site without the worry of livestock or dogs escaping. I also go on lots of walks in the local area carefully chosen according to your dog’s agility and socialisation needs. When walking dogs publicly, I tend to keep them on the lead unless they are well known to me and I’m 100% that they will respond to being recalled. Happy to accommodate special diets and medication as required according to owners instructions. Olive is my 5 year American cocker spaniel who loves the company of other dogs. She’s very calm and placid and welcoming to guests of the 4 legged variety (although sometimes nervous of new humans) she’s very sweet and affectionate and loves a long walk followed by a nap in front of the log burner. We also have a cat, Bob who decided to move in and make herself at home one day. She (Bob’s a girl) is now quite an old lady so visiting dogs must be good with cat’s and not wish to cause them any harm. She’s used to big dogs being boisterous and tolerates it well but, she will tell off dogs who she feels threatened by. I also have a 9 year old son who adores dogs and has grown up with labradors, a rottweiler and spaniels. He loves being involved with feeding, playing and walking so all visiting dogs must be good with children with an unquestionable temperament. Hopefully we’ll be a good match for you and your dog! I always offer an initial meet on neutral ground in the first instance to check the dogs are happy together followed by a drop in visit at my house. You’re welcome to leave the dog with me for a couple of hours on this occasion to get them used to us and to reassure them that when you leave them with us, you also come back. All dogs are loved and cared for and given lots of attention as if they’re our own. If they are allowed on the furniture at home, they’ll also be allowed here! We want them to be as happy and relaxed as possible during their stay. If you have any questions, please do drop me a message!
