Ratings and reviews
This was our dog’s second stay with Sam but this time for nearly 3 weeks. Summer had an excellent time with Sam and Rob; we got wonderful, reassuring updates every day about their adventures. I’ve already booked in for our next holiday
Jasper came back a very happy dog. Sam kindly sent regular updates and photos so we could see he was relaxed and comfortable with them. Lovely garden for a sniff and runaround
Our dog’s first stay with Sam and we had an amazing experience. Sam is kind and calm with lots of experience of dogs. She kept us well informed and our dog, Summer, was clearly very relaxed in her home. I have no worries about leaving Summer again in the future
From the word go Sam was kind and communicative, taking the time to understand Elsa’s quirks and routine to ensure a safe & comfortable stay the whole week. From the very first photo update our minds were put at rest & we could go away knowing our pup was in safe, reliable & capable hands. Daily updates always made us smile & reassured us that we made a good choice. Elsa was super relaxed when we returned & we could tell she had clearly been spoiled with attention & treated just like she was at home. We have no hesitation in recommending Sam & will definitely be booking again
From the moment we visited Sam at the meet & greet we were put at ease. Our pooch was wagging her tail as we arrived for her first stay & was relaxed & happy when we picked her up. On the hottest day of the year so far, we could tell Sam had really looked after her. Really appreciated the updates through the day. Would definitely recommend.
First time we have had our new dog,Percy stay away and we could not have been more delighted with how he was looked after. He had a fantastic time with Rob and Sam who clearly have a great affection for dogs. He shows no stress after being picked up and we would not hesitate in recommending Rob and Sam . They gave us daily reports with photos which showed how much he was enjoying himself We have booked Rob and Sam again for August and know they they and Percy are looking forward to having time together again Thank you so much Rob and Sam

Schedule
I’ve recently retired from corporate life and loving my freedom to choose how I spend my days, I love nature & walking , foraging & my garden so having a family’s dog(s) to stay to love & look after, enjoy some fun with would be a perfect fit between personal travels. I know only too well how hard it is to leave your furry family member for a holiday and aim to make that just a little easier ensuring you can relax in the knowledge your dogs are being fully catered for in a loving home with my husband also there to help.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
We are set on just under an acre of fenced garden in a lovely Hampshire village with some beautiful walks in forests and farmland - we also have a great dog friendly pub if your pooch enjoys a social outing -Sundays are great often with more 4xlegged customers than 2 ! Your dog will be welcome to be with us wherever we are in the house and garden, and snuggling in front of the fire or on the sofa is definitely allowed & encouraged.
A typical day
There are lots of beautiful countryside walks around us , our garden is large so if you prefer them to be exercised here we have room for play, sniffs & ball games. If they like a gentler plod they’ll enjoy the space and ease as it’s all level and we are based in a bungalow.
