We love all types of dogs and want to create a home from home environment for them where they will also have the opportunity to socialise with our 6 year old Labrador, Darcy. He is very much the heart of our home! We firmly believe every dog should be treated like a member of the family! 🥰

Safety, trust & environment

One of us will be at home with your dog, they will never be left alone or unattended for a substantial length of time (I may have to pop out to the shop). I know this is important to you when your choosing a sitter, especially for those mischievous puppies who like to get into everything at the blink of a eye! We are lucky to have a large fenced garden, plenty of natural grass and shaded spaces with lots of safe toys for play time! There is plenty of space to roam around the ground floor of our home. During the visit we supply all dogs with an Apple Air tag, although we hope to never have to use them, your pets safety is our number one concern, and this enables us to track the location should the worse ever happen, our home is also covered with CCTV cameras. We are able to provide luxury dog beds, food bowls and julius K9 harnesses. We ask that you can provide the following. * Enough Food and treats for the duration of the stay. * Leads, harnesses. * Medication with instructions. * Puppy pads if required. * Dog poo bags (Please) * Proof of vaccination status 
for first booking. ** Please Note the following** This isn’t our full time job, and we both work, but we do our upmost to make ourselves available for bookings, meet and greets, and general contact. But please be patient if we can’t always respond quickly and understanding if we aren’t available. All bookings require payment via Rover.com. No bookings can be confirmed until payment has been made. Rover.com cancellation policy applies. Thank you!!

Thank you so much for taking our Robin last minute. Communication was great and a meet and greet was sorted soon after initial contact. Robin seemed very comfortable and happy with Sean and Darcie at the meet and greet and was treated to some nice treats from the jar! Sean kept me updated as to how Robin was on her night away and reassured me that she was doing well. Lovely first visit and we will definitely be coming back again soon :)
