Your Dog’s Second Home

We have a very friendly 4 year old Golden Retriever, Hugo, who absolutely loves having other dogs around. He is sociable, gentle, and enjoys making new friends, so visiting dogs quickly feel at home. As a family, we love dogs and regularly look after friends’ dogs while they are away, giving us experience caring for different breeds, personalities, and routines. We also have two children who have grown up around dogs and are gentle and respectful with them. I work from home, which means your dog will have plenty of company, supervision, and attention throughout the day.

Sandra has looked after our dog Rufus a number of times and he absolutely adores his stays there. He is treated as one of the family, gets multiple walks daily and loves playing with Hugo, the most beautiful golden retriever. I would recommend Sandra and her lovely family to anyone who wants an authentic, loving, family environment for their dog. 🐶 She is truly wonderful!

Schedule

I work from home in Southbourne, so I have time to give dogs lots of attention, company and care throughout the day. We are just a 10-minute walk from the beach and a couple of minutes from Seafield Gardens, with plenty of great walking options nearby.

Safety, trust & environment

Your dog’s safety, happiness and wellbeing will always be my priority. I provide a calm, loving family environment and only care for a small number of dogs at a time (maximum two additional dogs), ensuring plenty of individual attention and supervision. Our home has a large, secure garden, and as I work from home, dogs have plenty of company, toilet breaks, playtime and cuddles, without being left alone for long periods. I will always follow your instructions and routines, whether your dog enjoys beach walks, park adventures, playing with Hugo or simply relaxing at home. My aim is for every dog to feel safe, happy and part of the family.
