“Marjorie and her husband were amazing and accommodating from the beginning. We were let down last minute to look after our boy and she took him on. With updates and pictures every day and spoiling Winston and including him in every day life. A great bond was formed between them. Since we have been home, we have had one sulking boy for the first day or two back as he thoroughly enjoyed his time there that much. A nice big house, back field and near by woodland that he enjoyed daily to tire him out. Two lovely people with an evident love of animals and dogs. Rest assured, your dog will be looked after and loved as if one of their pets. We could not recommend highly enough and will always look to have Winston stay there when we are away in future. Thank you both so much”


“It was the first time we've used a dog boarder, so was a little apprehensive. But there was no need, Bodi absolutely loved his stay with Mark and family (and dogs) Mark kept us updated with photos and videos, we were actually worried that Bodi wouldn't want to leave. I have no hesitation in recommending Mark and would definitely use him again.”


“Huge thank you to Shirley for taking on my Charlie, he is super scared of new people and spooks very easily. He isnt easy to handle but Shirley put my mind at ease, letting me have an many updates as I needed and allowing for his quirks Will definitely be using again! 100% recommend.”


“Mark was very communicative throughout Ella's stay and really made an effort to continue with her routine. She came back really tired so must have had a good time and got plenty exercise. Would definitely book again!”


“Our dog Molly stayed overnight with Susan for the first time, what a lovely lady and Molly was so well looked after, we highly recommend her.”


“Such a lovely girl and did amazing at looking after my Goose. She sent updates and took him out on regular walks. I struggle to trust people with my dog but I would definitely bring Goose back to stay with Amber. He came home so happy :)”


“Absolutely amazing! Chloe goes above and beyond, really treats your pet as her own. Very experienced and professional. Your pet is in the safest hands here. Can't recommend her enough!”



“Can’t recommend Elena enough- Pumpkin came back from her boarding with new training skills which Elena showed us. We were kept fully updated throughout the week and at the end a list of recommendations for Pumpkins care (Pumpkin is our first dog). Elena was wonderful with Pumpkin and we will definitely be using her services again! 10/10”

About: I have had dogs in the home all my life and regularly care for family pets when they are away. We finally took the plunge and welcomed our beautiful Pugapoo, Piper, 4 months ago. Piper is a bundle of fun, super loving and loyal. She loves long walks and just being in other people’s company. Piper regularly interacts with other dogs in the family and our home has children old and young who she adores. We are lucky enough to work from home so piper gets lots of attention, love and regular walks. Evenings and Weekends are all about fresh air and walking for us so you can be assured your dog will get plenty of excercise and attention. We will happily discuss your dogs needs and routine and so our best to accommodate so that they feel right at home. Happy to send regular pics and updates. Lauren & Andy We both work almost exclusively at home so we can give your dog all the attention needed and ensure the dogs toilet needs are met. We have a fenced off garden that the dogs can have access to all day, also lots of lovely open fields and walks near by.

“Catherine and Rick were so good with Timmy. They looked after him like he was their own and took him for lovely walks. Tim has lots of funny ways with being a rescue, but Catherine and Rick were very accommodating and accepting and it seems Timmy had a great time. Thank you both, highly recommend!”


“I can not praise and recommend Mark & Natalie any more. From the very start of contact with the booking they were very responsive. Bellatrix had a wonderful 8 days with them both filled with lots of videos and pictures of what she was up to. This was the first time she has ever been away from home and I know both Natalie and Mark had their work cut out as she was not really entertaining food and crying a lot when not occupied. They both persevered and kept me up to date through out it all. They are professional, friendly and welcoming and anyone using their service will be 100 percent happy with the service. Thank you both again I appreciate everything you did for bellatrix ☺️🐾”
