Kongs & Cuddles in Bracknell

About us: We are English / Dutch couple in Bracknell who would love to look after your dog. Both of us grew up with family dogs and pets and are true dog lovers. I am home during the day, looking after our happy/bouncy dog StanLee. We love to cuddle, play kong, fetch toys, chase around the garden, go on walks in the nearby woods, splash in the mud pools, have a swim and have an all around good time. Area & Walks: We live in a end of terrace house in a quiet neighbourhood conveniently located near a vet in case of emergencies. Our large garden is a fun playground for the dogs during the day. We live about a 5 minute walk away from the beautiful Swinley Forest which is ideal for long walks, mud pool splashing and toy fetching. What can your dog expect from us? Love, cuddles, toy playing and lots of attention! Lovely walks, a friend for life in StanLee, a good hair brush if and when needed. We are Canine First Aid Certified and have experience looking after dogs that require daily medication. Note: As mentioned, we have a lovely dog named StanLee. It is important that your pooch gets on with other dogs. We would love to meet you and your dog soon!

Lots of updates and sent photos. Our older dog has visited before and even after not going for a while, she was very happy entering. Our younger dog also had a lovely day.

Well what can I say. Steven and Jilka are excellent dog sitters. It makes leaving him so much easier knowing that he is in such good hands. This is the 3rd time that we have left Finley with Steven and Jilka. Finley knows exactly where we are as soon as he gets out of the car. He runs into their house without a backwards glance. Communication is excellent as well with updates and photos of how Finley is doing. We would not hesitate to recommend them

A typical day

We play their favourite games or play with their favourite toys. We have a variety of lovely walks around the area and like to take them on different routes so they experience wonderful new smells. In the evening we like to settle on the sofa for a lovely cuddle.
