Pet care experience
Tail wagging short breaks for Dogs, Abergavenny.
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!

Ratings and reviews
Absolutely fantastic!!! Wonderful location and Rebecca was great with Boris and after our taster session he couldn't wait to get out of the car to be there. Thoroughly recommend anyone to call her.
We cannot recommend Rebecca enough! This was our first time leaving our two Goldies (Ruby and Pebble) for two weeks, and we were naturally a bit anxious. Rebecca completely put our minds at ease with daily photo/video updates and communications. When we picked the girls up, they were very happy, tired from an early morning walk, and clearly well-loved. It’s such a relief to find a place that treats your pet(s) like family. We will definitely be back!
Rebecca is very relaxed and very caring of the dogs. They had a great time with her.
Rebecca was kind and patient, kept in touch while we were aware on holidays with photo's and updates on how Ruby was doing. Included lots of long walks. Rebecca cares very much about the pets she looks after.
Rebecca was fantastic with Ruby, she seemed really settled and enjoyed her stay. A pre-stay meet up was arranged which was really helpful to help her feel at home. Many thanks.
Becs was a lifesaver after another sitter cancelled late. She met us for a meet and greet and asked lots of questions about Artis which was really reassuring. I had some lovely photos of Artis on some gorgeous walks and playing with other dogs. She came home happy and healthy. Defo recommend!

Schedule
I work from Home most days every week so dogs are never left alone for long. I have one sweet little American Cocker Spaniel, Olive who loves other dogs and will be so pleased to have a friend over.

A typical day
We kick off every day with a 30 -45 minute walk - either on site or in the local area. I then tend to do a few hours work at the computer with the dogs laid at my feet or on the sofa. At lunchtime we have a brief 20 minute outdoor exercise, play, ball chase or hunt for treats in the garden. Dogs tend to have another nap after this followed by feeding time and another 30-45 minute walk and playtime on site.
