Paws and relax, garden + belly rubs

We are Sara & Frans, a couple in our mid-40s living next to St Ann’s Wells Gardens and the seafront in Hove. We love having dogs around and enjoy providing a calm, safe, and happy environment for them. We offer doggy day care and overnight boarding, with lots of love, attention, and walks. I work from home and Frans gets home by 4 pm, so your dog will never be short of company. Our home has a private, fully fenced garden—perfect for safe outdoor play—and we’re ideally located for walks in the park or along the seafront. We both have plenty of experience with dogs. Frans grew up around pedigree Labradors, as his parents were breeders, and we recently said goodbye to our own much-loved dog, so we truly understand how important consistent, caring attention is. We’re also trained in Dog First Aid for added peace of mind, and we speak English, Spanish, and French. We’re happy to tailor care to your dog’s individual needs, ensuring they feel relaxed, comfortable, and well looked after while you’re away.

Sara and Franz are very kind, caring, sweet souls. We left our dog, Fig, in very safe hands. She was extremely comfortable right from the start and didn’t want to leave…she was a very happy dog when we picked her up (which isn’t normally the case). Sara’s place is very neat, tidy and dog friendly with lots of space and a garden. I’d highly recommend them and will be booking them again very soon.

We couldn’t recommend Sara and Frans enough! They were so lovely and welcoming, and took amazing care of our sausage dog while we were away. We loved receiving regular updates and photos, which gave us complete peace of mind. We’d definitely use them again. Thank you so much! 🐾

Sara & Frans are such a warm and friendly couple who have a genuine love for dogs. Minnie had a great stay with them and we were provided with plenty of updates and photos. We will definitely be using them again, Minnie will demand it!

Sara and Frans stepped in at the last minute and were so friendly and lovely to my dog, I knew very quickly he’d be safe with them. I got lots of updates during his stay with them, and he came back to me very happy. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to other pet owners. Thank you so much again Sara and Frans and hope to re book you soon!
