Calm, Safe, and Comfortable Boarding

I bring a strong mix of professional training and real world experience to every dog I care for. I worked in a doggy daycare for 5 years, gaining hands on experience with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I hold my Canine First Aid Level certification and my IMDT Level 3 Professional Day Care & Boarding qualification, ensuring I can provide safe, knowledgeable, and high quality care. Whether your dog is playful, shy, energetic, or needs a calmer pace, I create a loving, structured environment where every dog feels at home.

Saffron has looked after my dog a few times in the past with the most amazing love and care. Her past experience with dogs working in the doggie care industry shines right through and shows the extra attention and care she gives to your dog. Nothing is too much bother for her. Before the stay she took on board all my dogs needs and understood their routine with regards to feeding, walking and toilet breaks. They had lots of fun playing in the house and lots of lovely walks out and about. Plenty of updates and updates where had to keep my mind at ease while I was away. Her home is welcoming, warm and a lovely place for your day to stay. Made it a home from home and made the stay really comfortable. Can't recommend Saff enough to have your dog and can't wait to use her again in future. Can't speak highly of her. Thank you again!

I would highly recommend Saffron to your company and fellow paws , she is committed and dedicated to her roles she takes on. She looked after my dog Reggie with love & care like he was her own. She very polite and friendly and made feel like I knew her for a life time I would not go to anyone else with Reggie , Saffron is apart of our family now.

I’ve worked with Saff in a dog daycare and have seen firsthand how caring, reliable, and attentive they are. They truly understand dog behavior and treat every dog like family. I’d absolutely trust them with my own pet and highly recommend them as a sitter.

Saff was amazing with my rescue dog. Her patience, kindness, and the experience she’s built working with dogs over the past ten years really showed from the very start. As an anxious dog owner, I really appreciated being regularly updated with pictures and videos, and I loved that I could text or call anytime for an update. Saff is a big walker and took my dog on long, enjoyable walks around the local area that he absolutely loved, and with her long lead he even got the freedom to run safely. I felt completely at ease knowing my fur baby was in such capable, loving hands. I highly recommend Saff to anyone looking for a responsible, experienced, and genuinely compassionate caregiver.

Calendar and availability

Schedule

I’m available 7 days a week and dogs are part of our everyday life. We go on regular walks throughout the day with my dog, Bella, who’s well trained on the lead. Your dog will get plenty of exercise, fresh air, and time to explore, as well as plenty of chill, relaxing moments at home. Everything we do is part of a normal day, so dogs feel safe, happy, and included.

Safety, trust & environment

I want your dog to feel relaxed and comfortable during their stay. My home has a calm, welcoming atmosphere with plenty of attention, cuddles, and playtime. We go on regular long walks, and because we live right on the Sandstone Trail, your dog will have lots of lovely outdoor adventures. There’s also a safe, fenced local area where they can enjoy some off lead time if that suits their personality. At home, we have a fully fenced back garden that’s great for play or just pottering around and plenty of toys on hand. Whether your dog prefers long walks, quiet downtime, or a bit of both, they’ll be looked after with care, trust, and a genuine home from home experience.

Pets

A typical day

Our days have a gentle, calm routine to help every dog feel safe and happy. We usually start with a relaxed morning walk, followed by breakfast and some quiet time to settle into the day. I like to build confidence through little enrichment activities, gentle play, and plenty of positive experiences. Dogs who love to play get safe, supervised sessions, while shy or nervous pups get space, reassurance, and extra cuddles. We take regular outdoor breaks, and there are cosy spots and multiple beds around the home so every dog has their own safe space. Dogs are also welcome on all the furniture, so they can relax wherever they feel most comfortable. Evenings are calm and comforting, helping every dog wind down and have a peaceful night. Everything we do is guided by patience, understanding, and my experience with dogs of all kinds.

I take a calm, understanding approach to all behaviours. Having a very nervous rescue dog of my own, I know how important patience, gentle reassurance, and clear boundaries are. I use positive reinforcement and my IMDT training to support dogs at their own pace, whether they’re shy, excitable, or still learning. I monitor body language closely, create safe spaces, and adjust activities to make sure every dog feels secure and understood. Bella, my dog, is very welcoming to new dogs and fantastic around other dogs, giving them space when needed. She’s also been to doggy day care with me, so she’s used to busy, social environments as well as enjoying quiet, calm time at home. Her experience helps make new dogs feel comfortable and settled during their stay.
