Pet care experience

Luxury stay in a loving family home

My entire life I have lived with dogs and feel no house is complete without one (or two, or three...). This includes having cared for a number of my beloved dogs throughout their last years plus nurturing and training puppies. I have extensively researched training techniques and attended hours and hours worth of one to one professional dog training sessions. I trained my two Labradors together from 10 weeks old despite some professionals advising against this. They are very well behaved and easy going which makes it fun and enjoyable to have other dogs stay with me.

Sarah is a wonderful host for my 2 Cockapoos, she is so attentive to their needs and always sends to me lots of photos and videos of their day with her. I would not hesitate to recommend her.

Sarah was fantastic with Kesha. She kept us updated and our girl has the best time. Sarah’s dogs are also lovely and a brilliant example for our rescue who does really well when she has well mannered dogs to follow. Kesha also loves Sarah’s garden. Would absolutely use Sarah again. Thank you!

Sarah was fantastic with Ozzy. From the meet and greet, it was clear she is a true dog lover with a really natural way with them, and I felt comfortable leaving Ozzy in her care. Sarah kept me updated with regular photos and videos throughout Ozzy’s stay which was very reassuring and appreciated. It was obvious that Ozzy had a wonderful time and was happy and well looked after. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Sarah and will definitely be using her again.

Remy has just returned from a short stay with Sarah. Her home and grounds are perfect for dogs and from the photographs he clearly enjoyed it tremendously and has returned relaxed and happy. I will certainly look to have him stay there again

Our boy stayed with Sarah for 4 nights (first time staying away from family) and had a great time. We received lots of photos and videos to keep our worries at bay - we could clearly see he was having a lovely time with plenty of company and affection. Being used to just some middle aged humans for company he was spoilt for animal companionship, which he loved, even if it did exhaust him. I would fully recommend Sarah as a caring and conscientious sitter and will be calling again if we have the luxury of another holiday sometime.

Schedule

My current schedule means that I am at home full-time. This allows me to have fun walking my dogs in different areas around the Surrey Hills throughout the day, enjoying views of Boxhill one day or treks around the Vineyards the next. Stopping for the odd treat here and there of course. If, on the odd occasion I do not walk them, I have 7 acres of secured gardens and woodland for them to enjoy complete with a natural pool for the keen swimmers. At the weekends I enjoy taking trips to the beach and organising long walks with family and friends. There is no telling how many other four-legged friends they might meet during their holiday here! Equally, if it just day care you need, they’re always welcome to tag along should you need to go out for the day.

Safety, trust & environment

During their time with me they will be treated as one of my own - I just love dogs, I can’t help it! They'll be included in breakfast time followed by some time in the garden with a walk following later in the day. Come the evenings they'll be more than welcome to join in relaxing in front of the tv on the sofa or one of plenty of beds spotted throughout the house - whatever their preference! There is underfloor heating throughout the house so after those muddy walks, once they've been showered down at the warm water washing area outside, they can sprawl out and chill.

Pets

A typical day

Everyday starts with breakfast around 6:30am followed by a play in the garden. Depending on the weather they can be free to come in and out of the garden as they please choosing to explore the woodland or nap inside. Mid morning we'll all go for a walk in one of the many dog friendly locations nearby, switching it up everyday for maximum stimulation. Afterwards they can choose to rest, cuddle up or enjoy more play time before dinner early evening. Once everyone is fed it's time for everyone to relax in front of the tv with the last toilet break before bedtime.
