1. Natalia K.

“My 2 dogs both enjoyed their stay with Natalia and her partner for 2 nights. They instantly felt at home and safe with them and could sense their kindness and careful attention. They were very thoughtful and careful about my younger dog who has health problems. They have a lovely, well-behaved red setter called Bonny whom my dogs enjoyed meeting. Their house was super-clean and tidy. They were very obliging and flexible and they communicated promptly. I would be very happy to send my dogs there again.”


2. Holly C.

“Really pleased with the care provided from Holly for my golden retriever, Chester had a fab time. Very professional and caring, and kept me up to date with photos/videos. I will definitely be using Holly again.”




3. Kirsty H.

“Kirsty welcomed Swifty into her home like she was the family dog. Kirsty was hugely thoughtful about working out what Swifty wanted to do and how to find lovely walks she’d really enjoy in her wheels. She gave her oodles of love and in one week really got to know Swifty. Kirsty is deeply caring, highly skilled, calm, and practical. Swift being paralysed just didn’t seem to phase her one bit. The messages she sent made me relax 100% whilst I was away. Brilliant. Thank you!”


4. Michelle F.

“Michelle was absolutely wonderful. Nothing was too much for her. Our dog has a disability Michelle was so good and did more than we expected in caring for Mouse. I couldn’t thank her enough and her wonderful family. Thankyou”

About: I have been a dog owner for over 20 years. Mainly spaniels, max 2 at a time. Can walk sit or board like minded dogs. Archie my show cocker spaniel likes to meet new friends. Mainly kept on a lead, unless otherwise told. Treats only when earned after walk or at a heal when called back. Hope this helps. Ask if need more reassurance, happy to comply with whatever owner wishes. I,m now 3 months in to my new life in the Southwest country and loving every minute. Plenty of walking areas for small to large dogs. House and garden routine is settling in and working smoothly, but not set in stone. Remaining flexible for the Occupants ha. Daily walks, checks everything is working routine wise. Weekly inspection of teeth for anything that shouldn't be there. Checking of legs, feet and body for any bumps that shouldn't be there either.. I have a fenced off large garden in two parts for keeping dogs apart if need be. Area is open and free for a good stretch in the mornings if dogs don't want to walk quite yet ha. The area is cleaned daily and waste disposed of correctly.
