Safety, trust & environment

When your dog stays with us, he/she will be treated like part of our family. We will feed them as per your instructions, and take them for daily walks. They will be played with and allowed to roam the house freely. We will follow your sleeping rules. If your dog requires a crate or bed, please do bring this along for them. They will sleep downstairs in the living room. This is where Nala sleeps in her crate. We do not allow dogs to go on the bed, but they are allowed on the sofa in the living room. We have a house with a large back garden. We also have a green space nearby to the house, and there are lots of fields and woods nearby for longer walks.

Information Ria D. would like to know about your pet

We need to know the following information in order to ensure your dog is properly cared for: - how long they want to walk for - how they are with other dogs/people - where they sleep/what they sleep in - dietary requirements/feeding schedule - medications required (if applicable) - what games they like to play - toilet schedule

A typical day

We will chase your dog around our garden, play fetch & tug of war and can even play some mentally stimulating games, ie, searching for treats in a snuffle blanket. We would take them on our usual route as well as to the woods nearby and to the local fields. We will always keep your dog on lead for safety reasons.

Pet care experience

We have had our first dog Nala since she was 2 months old. We take her for regular walks and she is a very gentle dog. Since we have had her as a puppy, we have provided her with crate training, taught her lots and play with her plenty! We have definitely spoilt her a bit, she has lots of toys which she is happy to share and play with others. Your dog will also have the chance to socialise with our dog Nala, who is friendly (can be shy at first), and loves to play with others. For us, our priority is to ensure your dog and Nala get on. We suggest an initial meet up to ensure both are comfortable with one another as we do not want either to feel uncomfortable.

Thank you so much for looking after Nia so wonderfully! It was really a home from home for her, with Ria and Greg taking the time to find out about Nia’s routine meaning she settled in in no time at all. Regular updates too so it was great to see all the walks and games they got up to, keeping our spritely Labrador thoroughly entertained!! Would 100% recommend.

Smudge was jumping up and down with excitement when she realised she was going to stay with Ria again. Very happy dog all looked after perfectly.

Ria and Greg had been amazing dog sitters for our Gem. I was anxious because I was leaving Gem for first time for 5 days. They put me at ease and assured me they will take care of him and make him comfortable. The moment I left their home they started sending me photos and videos of Gem settling in . Throughout I got regular updates about Gem from morning to night. They took him on regular walks and he also had the company of their lovely dog Nala. I would definitely use them in future. Ria and Greg are really welcoming and easy to communicate with. Thank you Ria and Greg.
