Rosie is always so happy to visit her home away from home. It's like a holiday for her too! Thank you for taking such good care of her.

Doggy Day Care • Nov 10, 2024

As before, Theo made himself comfortable and very much at home at Steve and Sandra’s as regular photo updates showed. It was a happy, tired dog I picked up ☺️

Safety, trust & environment

We have a secure, fenced garden that your pet can explore and which opens onto a large recreation field that is well used by dog walkers. Sociable dogs with good recall can have good fun there. We also have close access to countryside walks.

A typical day

Because we have so many walks around us, your dog(s) can never get bored of the same old route and varying walking routes provides new interest for them every time. There are plenty of opportunities for ball & treat discovery games. If you have a high energy dog that needs space, we can arrange to take him/her to a fully enclosed exercise park nearby.

7 to 18 kg

Takes only 1 client at a time
Steve can host up to 2 pets per night
Please let us know if your dog has any special needs, particular behaviour triggers and the like so that we can accommodate him/her with the minimum of fuss and so avoid stress on them as much as possible. We want your dog to be comfortable and happy with us.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
