Availability

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.

Information Sam S. would like to know about your pet

We’ll meet hopefully in person, if not via FaceTime or zoom to catch up before hand to ensure we understand your dogs needs, routine, likes , dislikes, allergies, medical needs and any triggers ( cats, postmen, other dogs etc ) . Also if they are in training or you have specific habits when walking such as sitting before crossing the road we can make sure we remain consistent with them which of course will include their general daily routine & meal times which should help your dog feel settled & comfortable whilst in our care. Just let us know if you have any special requests & we’ll try to accommodate.

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.

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.
