Pet care experience

A home from home.

I've always had pets and got my first dog, a Cairn Terrier, when I was 8 years old. I'm a real dog person and our 2 dogs are members of the family and if your dog came to stay they would join the gang. Both my partner Calum and I work from home and we're happy to adjust our days and nights depending on what suits your dog/s best. We understand that some dogs can feel a little anxious in a new environment but we adore dogs and are happy to have them sleep in our room if it helps them feel more reassured. Our 2 resident dogs are Bramble and Mabel. Mabel is a 6 year old chihuahua X JRT and Bramble is a 5 year old Romanian mix who looks a bit like someone tried to cross a sheep dog with a corgi! Both are spayed/neutered.

Doggy Day Care • Feb 26, 2026

Tara and Shay did a great job looking after Belle for me at very short notice when I was really stuck to know where to go. They are clearly very dog-centered, as was apparent from meeting Barbara (their Ukrainian rescue dog) who has a very welcoming attitude for all extra furry house members dropping in. Would certainly use again!

Frankie had a great weekend with Tara and Callum. They treated her like one of the family and gave her plenty of exercise and cuddles - and sent me plenty of updates. I’d 100% recommend

Schedule

My husband and I both work from home and I work part time so can be very flexible in terms of walks and playing. Your dog is welcome to join us in the office where we have a dog bed or come and go as they please.

Safety, trust & environment

We have a secure garden that can be accessed whenever your dog would like and we have 2 good parks nearby for walks. I've listed bathing/grooming at no extra charge as I know how easy it is for dogs to get muddy, especially in UK weather! I will ask how you normally wash them just in case I need to as some dogs do not enjoy the bath and I'd like them to be as happy as possible. Our dogs are probably a little spoilt as they love sitting out on the sun loungers and moving to different furniture in the house for each nap of the day and your dog would have free reign to join them or hang out with us.

Pets

A typical day

I can walk your dog/dogs by themselves if they'd prefer or take all of the dogs for a walk together with my partner if they prefer to go out in a group. There are 2 nice parks within walking distance and many more walks a short drive away such as Blaise Castle Estate.

I always like to know if a dog has any allergies or particular fears/triggers or quirks so I can help to make their stay as enjoyable as possible for them.
