Highlights
Pet care experience
Relaxed Stays with Calm Greyhound
We’re lifelong dog owners with over 6 years’ experience caring for senior dogs with advanced health needs. Our current dog, Piglet, is a gentle rescue greyhound in her senior years — and we’re well-versed in medication routines, managing mobility issues, and adapting to each dog’s unique pace and personality. Over the years, we’ve also been trusted sitters for both small and large dogs — always offering a calm, comfortable home and thoughtful care tailored to each dog’s needs including those who may need a bit of extra reassurance and routine.

Ratings and reviews
As usual Ross is absolutely great with Kevin. He pulled me towards the door and came back a very happy camper :) especially grateful for the care shown to him as it was during the heatwave. Highly recommended
We love Remy staying with Piglet!! They all take such good care of Remy with all her extra needs, we trust them to keep her safe and administer medication. They slept in the same room as her for her first overnight which was huge for us as she hasn’t been away for over a year due to her anxiety, so was so nice to have a break! Piglet is also so good for her as big dogs can sometimes worry Remy so is lovely to see how comfortable she is. Thank you! Would definitely recommend
Ross and his partner were absolutely amazing with my 3 yo (sometimes very excitable) pointer! Great at keeping in contact, clearly caring towards animals and good at dealing with dogs. Would absolutely recommend :)
Ross was amazing as always with Lassie. Lassie loves to spend the day with Ross and Piglet, Thank you again! 🤩
Maximus loves staying with Ross and his lovely wife. He happily trotted in and they are okay with his zoomies and puppy quirks. I will very happily ask Ross to look after Maximus again !
Ross was a great sitter to Hazel. She got on with gentle Piglet and was right at home. Would definitely book again!

Schedule
We’re available for daycare and overnight boarding most weekends, plus two weekdays each week (typically Thursday & Fridays). We take one booking at a time to ensure every dog gets our full attention and care. Walks and feeding are always based on your dog’s usual routine. We’re happy to accommodate medication, meal schedules, and other needs to keep things consistent and stress-free.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
We live in a calm, ground-floor flat with our gentle greyhound, Piglet. While we don’t have a garden, we’re lucky to have direct access to green spaces, woods, and dog-friendly parks right on our doorstep — perfect for relaxed, sniffy strolls. *HEATWAVE SAFE* We have air-con to give your pup a happy, comfortable summer retreat. We only care for one guest dog at a time, ensuring your pet gets dedicated attention. We’re happy to administer medication (oral or topical), and we provide regular updates and photos, so you can relax knowing your dog is safe, comfortable, and well cared for.
Pets
A typical day
We start the day with a relaxed walk through nearby woods or parks, or there’s even a lake walk where dogs can enjoy watching the ducks. Back at home, your dog can rest alongside our calm greyhound, Piglet, or have fun playing with our well-stocked toy library, or enrichment toys like puzzle feeders and licky mats to keep them happy and engaged. We follow your dog’s usual routine, including meals and medication, with plenty of company and cuddles throughout the day. Evenings are all about winding down with a short stroll, some gentle play, and a cosy night in.
