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.

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

We couldn’t have wished for better care for Darcey. Sam and Rob treated her as if she was their own and it was clear from the regular updates and photos we received, that she was completely at home and being thoroughly spoilt! It gave us real peace of mind knowing she was in such good hands - we would not hesitate to ask them to look after her again.
