Molly recently had her trial day with Ann and her husband and loved being with them. Ann’s attention to detail with Mollys routine was exceptional and she came home a happy little doggy. Her next stay is already booked and I know I can go on holiday feeling reassured she will get the best love and care that she does at home. Thanks both.

I can’t recommend India enough! Korra had such a great stay with India & her family. We got text/photo/video updates every day and they took care of her as if she was their own. It was our first time leaving Korra with someone while we were on holiday, and it was reassuring to know she was in such good hands. We’ll definitely be booking again next time we’re away!

We left our 3yo Labradoodle, Honey Bea, in the care of Sorrel for a week in July. Sorrel was superb. Honey only has a little social experience with other dogs and can be a bit nervous. But Sorrel's knowledge and experience really shone through. Throughout the week she kept us updated with text and pictures and, by the end of the week, Honey was happily mixing with Sorrel's dogs, which was an achievement all in itself! All in all, we couldn't be happier with Honey's boarding experience and would recommend Sorrel to other dog owners looking for a trusted place to board their pets. Will definitely use again. Thanks Sorrel! 😊

About: ​Since the age of 10, my life has been dedicated to animals. Growing up on a farm in Portugal, I was surrounded by the heartbreaking reality of stray animals, which sparked a lifelong mission to help. I couldn't turn a blind eye; I brought home every animal in need—from dogs and cats to injured birds. ​Eventually, after endless ignored "no more animals after this one" pleas, my parents finally accepted their fate and helped me build dedicated kennels on our farm. Together with the local community, we provided food, medical care, and a safe haven for these animals until we could find them their forever homes. Through these 17 years of rescue work, I didn't just provide care; I studied animal behavior deeply, learning how to communicate with and comfort dogs of all temperaments. ​Currently, I am the proud parent of two dogs—a Husky and a rescue Collie/Lab—who are my entire world. I know how difficult it is to leave your fur-babies behind, which is why I treat every guest like a member of my own family. ​When your dog is with me, they can expect: * 🌟 Endless Love & Cuddles: No shortage of affection and sofa time. ​🌟 Active Adventures: Frequent walks and play tailored to their energy levels. ​🌟 Paddock Time: I live 10 minutes away from a secure paddock where I take my dogs all the time; I'm happy to take yours for a run there too! ​🌟 A "Spoilt" Experience: I promise to love and spoil your pups just as much as I do my own. ​I truly miss the feeling of being surrounded by "fur" and making a difference in an animal's life. I can’t wait to meet your best friend and give them a home-away-from-home experience! I'm currently studying full time from home so your fur baby will never be alone. Walks 3x a day - morning after and evening I go paddocks often especially in good weather and I am happy to take yours along. ​I offer a safe, loving environment with a fully fenced-in garden for secure playtime. My two friendly dogs provide great company, ensuring your pet never feels lonely. I am experienced with crate training if needed for sleeping or quiet time. Whether in my home or yours, I prioritize a consistent routine, plenty of supervised exercise, and constant attention to keep your fur baby happy and secure.

Izabela and Toby took fantastic care of our very active Border Collie Jag. They shared regular photos and updates, made sure all his needs were met and spent plenty of time playing with him every day. Their home is located on an estate with lots of green spaces, making it a perfect environment for dogs. We felt very comfortable and confident leaving Jag in their care for over two weeks. Thanks!

Steve and his family were delightful and gave Maimie a lovely ‘home from home’ stay. Steve couldn’t have been more helpful. He gave us confidence from the moment we met him and his lovely dog Laszlo. He was a great communicator and sent through lovely updates and pictures while we were away. Best of all he clearly loves and understands dogs. It’s so great to find someone who is clearly adored by his canine friends! Thanks Steve and family!

About: I have been around animals all my life and was lucky enough to grow up with dogs, cats, horses, rabbits and hamsters- to name a few. I am a very loving, relaxed and laidback pet owner and love being around animals. I happily share my sofa and bed with my pets, so if that is something your dog would like, they would feel right at home when staying with me. My dog Oscar is a friendly and playful British bulldog and I also have 2 x 10 year old cats so any dog visiting would have friends to play with. I also have experience looking after puppies as well as older dogs. I work 4 long day a week but am free over the weekends to look after your dog. I generally walk Oscar once a day for an hour but sometimes he gets an additional half hour walk as well so can easily offer this for your dog. I have a large enclosed garden and space in the house to keep any dog separate from Oscar at nighttime if needed. There is also space for a crate if you prefer your dog to sleep in a crate.

About: Hi, I’m Lorron – a friendly, reliable dog lover with over 15 years of experience caring for animals. I’ve always had pets in my life and currently share my home with my crazy (but lovable!) dog, Mowgi. I studied Animal Science at university and now work in the veterinary pharmaceutical industry. Before that, I completed a BTEC diploma in Animal Management and worked in a busy boarding kennel—so I’m confident handling dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. Since having my daughter, I now work part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility for dog walking during the day. Whether your dog loves long adventures or just needs a quick stroll, I’m happy to cater to the length and type of walk that suits them best. I always treat dogs like part of the family and make sure they get the attention and care they deserve. Looking forward to meeting you and your furry companion! I’m usually available after 6 p.m. on weekdays and all day on weekends. I often have some flexibility during the week as well, and may be able to adjust my schedule to fit a regular walk for your pet. Feel free to send me a message — I’ll do my best to accommodate your needs! Fenced garden with fields near by. We have one entire male springador called Mowgi. Usually he is pretty indifferent to other dogs but does prefer small to medium over big dogs. We also have one chinchilla.

About: I have taken care of cats since I was very small, as I always had one or three in my house. Myself and my sisters were always crazy about cats, and this is still the case now. I am very responsible cat owner and I always have been. This includes, taking all my cats to the vet, neutering, regular visits, and pet insurance. I always ensure that my cats have clean litter, which is cleaned twice a day as they do their business very often even though they like going out. I make sure that their flea and other treatments are up to date, so they do not suffer unnecessary. I understand the nature of the cats, so I do not expect any cat to be a l friendly lap cat, I respect cats' independence and their own mind. I allow them to come to me and I do not force them to go on my lap. I have experience in administering medication to cats.

About: I have several years of hands-on experience caring for my own pets including dogs, cats, rabbits etc. I have successfully managed aspects of pet care, from daily walks and playtime. My dogs have taught me how to be patient, attentive, and adaptable to different personalities and needs, which I bring to all the pets I care for. Whether it’s a high-energy puppy or a senior dog who needs extra love and attention, I am skilled at creating a safe, engaging, and stress-free environment. I understand how important pets are to their families, and I treat each animal in my care as though they are my own. I understand that balancing a busy work schedule and caring for your pets can be challenging. That’s why I offer pet care services specifically designed for weekends when you’re unable to be home. Whether it’s taking your dog on an afternoon walk, providing them with companionship, or overnight stays while you’re away, I’m here to help. During the workweek, I focus on maintaining my own pets and following routines to ensure they stay active and healthy, which directly translates to how I care for your pets during the weekends. Even though I’m only available on weekends, I ensure your pet’s routine isn’t disrupted, giving you peace of mind while you work during the week. I believe pets feel safest in their own familiar surroundings. When caring for your pet in your home, I make sure to maintain their routine and comfort while you’re away. Here’s what you can expect from my in-home care service: • Routine Maintenance: I follow your pet’s usual schedule to provide consistency in feeding, walks, and playtime. If your pet is used to a particular walking route or specific toys, I make sure that’s included. • Personalized Attention: I spend quality time with your pet, whether it’s going on walks, playing games, or simply giving them affection. I understand that every pet is unique, and I tailor the care to their personality and needs. • Comfort & Security: I ensure your pet is comfortable in their own home, keeping their environment safe, clean, and familiar. I also take steps to secure your home, making sure doors and gates are locked and your pet is safe. • Daily Updates: I keep you informed with pictures, videos, or messages during each visit so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands. Caring for your pet in their own home helps them stay calm and feel less stressed while you’re away, and I’m here to make that experience as smooth as possible!

Woody stayed with Victoria for just the day. We were extremely happy with the care and communication received. Victoria was very flexible and is a reliable, confident dog sitter. We have no hesitation recommending her and will definitely ask her to care for Woody in the future. I know Woody felt at home because he didn’t want to leave! He had an added bonus because there were two other dogs to play with all day. Thank you for your love and cuddles 🐾

About: I grew up with dogs in my family. Over the years, I've cared for dogs of all ages and breeds, from energetic puppies to gentle senior dogs. My experience covers everything from daily walks and meals to training, always making sure every dog feels loved and comfortable. Though I have no formal training, my decades of hands-on experience have taught me everything I need to be an excellent caregiver. I confidently handle daily routines and any special needs, including administering medication and following strict care instructions. My own dog Rupert has chronic health issues, so giving him pills and closely monitoring his care has become second nature to me. With genuine love for animals and years of experience, I will care for your dog as if they were my own, keeping them happy, healthy, and safe. I work from home full time, so I can care for your dog throughout the day. My schedule is very flexible. I’m available any day of the week and can easily adapt to your dog’s routine. Whether it's a midday potty break, an afternoon walk, or extra playtime, I’m here to give your pet attention and exercise whenever needed. Being home around the clock means your dog will always have a companion and prompt care, making sure they’re never left alone for long. I live in a house with a secure garden, providing dogs with safe outdoor space for fresh air and playtime throughout the day. We are also located in an area with plenty of space for longer walks, ideal for dogs that enjoy regular exercise and exploring. Our home is calm, pet-friendly, and smoke-free, and dogs are always supervised to ensure their safety and comfort. I live with my fiancé, Toby, who also works remotely. This means there is almost always someone at home, allowing for extra supervision, company, and care. We carefully follow each owner’s instructions, maintaining dogs’ usual feeding, walking, and rest routines. We share our home with our friendly pug, Rupert, who enjoys the company of other dogs and helps visiting pets feel relaxed and at home. Rupert takes multiple daily medications, so I am very comfortable administering pills and following specific care instructions. Your dog will be treated like part of the family, with lots of attention, patience, and regular photo updates for your peace of mind.

About: ​Since the age of 10, my life has been dedicated to animals. Growing up on a farm in Portugal, I was surrounded by the heartbreaking reality of stray animals, which sparked a lifelong mission to help. I couldn't turn a blind eye; I brought home every animal in need—from dogs and cats to injured birds. ​Eventually, after endless ignored "no more animals after this one" pleas, my parents finally accepted their fate and helped me build dedicated kennels on our farm. Together with the local community, we provided food, medical care, and a safe haven for these animals until we could find them their forever homes. Through these 17 years of rescue work, I didn't just provide care; I studied animal behavior deeply, learning how to communicate with and comfort dogs of all temperaments. ​Currently, I am the proud parent of two dogs—a Husky and a rescue Collie/Lab—who are my entire world. I know how difficult it is to leave your fur-babies behind, which is why I treat every guest like a member of my own family. ​When your dog is with me, they can expect: * 🌟 Endless Love & Cuddles: No shortage of affection and sofa time. ​🌟 Active Adventures: Frequent walks and play tailored to their energy levels. ​🌟 Paddock Time: I live 10 minutes away from a secure paddock where I take my dogs all the time; I'm happy to take yours for a run there too! ​🌟 A "Spoilt" Experience: I promise to love and spoil your pups just as much as I do my own. ​I truly miss the feeling of being surrounded by "fur" and making a difference in an animal's life. I can’t wait to meet your best friend and give them a home-away-from-home experience! I'm currently studying full time from home so your fur baby will never be alone. Walks 3x a day - morning after and evening I go paddocks often especially in good weather and I am happy to take yours along. ​I offer a safe, loving environment with a fully fenced-in garden for secure playtime. My two friendly dogs provide great company, ensuring your pet never feels lonely. I am experienced with crate training if needed for sleeping or quiet time. Whether in my home or yours, I prioritize a consistent routine, plenty of supervised exercise, and constant attention to keep your fur baby happy and secure.

Carl looked after Conan on 04.12.23 whilst I was away with work. We met up before the day for initial introductions and agreed that he would visit Conan at home several times across the day. He connected well with Conan and was able to give him a morning run and fuss and an afternoon walk and put down his dinner. He sent me photos of the activities across the day. Would recommend as an excellent dog carer and will be using him again.

About: As a dedicated pet owner to two dogs and a cat, I have hands-on experience providing attentive and loving care. I’m flexible, dependable, and confident handling a wide range of animals (with the exception of spiders!). My priority is making sure your pets feel secure, comfortable, and cared for—just as they would at home—so you can have complete peace of mind. I am now medically retired so I can completely focus my time on the animals and their needs, so any routine that they require will not be broken, and I am highly flexible also. I treat every pet as if they were my own and make sure they feel safe, comfortable and loved at all times. I follow each owner’s routine closely and provide lots of care, attention, playtime and supervision

About: Hi, I’m Lorron – a friendly, reliable dog lover with over 15 years of experience caring for animals. I’ve always had pets in my life and currently share my home with my crazy (but lovable!) dog, Mowgi. I studied Animal Science at university and now work in the veterinary pharmaceutical industry. Before that, I completed a BTEC diploma in Animal Management and worked in a busy boarding kennel—so I’m confident handling dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. Since having my daughter, I now work part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility for dog walking during the day. Whether your dog loves long adventures or just needs a quick stroll, I’m happy to cater to the length and type of walk that suits them best. I always treat dogs like part of the family and make sure they get the attention and care they deserve. Looking forward to meeting you and your furry companion! I’m usually available after 6 p.m. on weekdays and all day on weekends. I often have some flexibility during the week as well, and may be able to adjust my schedule to fit a regular walk for your pet. Feel free to send me a message — I’ll do my best to accommodate your needs! Fenced garden with fields near by. We have one entire male springador called Mowgi. Usually he is pretty indifferent to other dogs but does prefer small to medium over big dogs. We also have one chinchilla.

About: Experienced and reliable dog carer with a strong background in both independent and structured settings. Previously ran a successful dog-walking business before transitioning into full-time travel, where I’ve spent the past three years pet-sitting and working with dogs across Asia, Australia, Central America, and South America. My experience includes caring for dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and needs, as well as hands-on work in dog shelters in Mexico and Australia. Confident in handling multiple dogs, maintaining routines, and ensuring each animal receives attentive, individual care. Working full-time ( mon- fri) with a remote job, the job is not very demanding and doesn’t need me at my desk the whole time so in between tasks I can play around and let them out for a potty break. I care for pets in the owner’s home by maintaining their normal routine as closely as possible, keeping feeding times, walks, play, and rest consistent to reduce stress. I make sure they feel comfortable in their own environment by giving them attention, exercise, and mental stimulation suited to their personality and energy levels. I keep the home clean and organised, follow any specific instructions closely, and monitor their health and behaviour throughout. I also provide regular updates so owners feel confident their pet is safe, settled, and well cared for in their absence.

About: I have experience caring for dogs and cats of different ages, sizes, and temperaments, including puppies, senior pets, and nervous animals. I focus on creating a calm and safe environment where pets feel comfortable and can stick closely to their normal routines. What sets me apart is my attention to detail and reliability. I take time to understand each pet’s individual needs, whether that’s extra patience on walks, structured routines, or gentle care for older pets. I always aim to build trust quickly with both pets and owners, and I provide clear, regular updates so owners feel reassured while they are away. My partner also frequently assists me with pet care and often stays with me during house sits. He has been around animals his entire life, and his mum works in the animal care field, so he grew up helping to care for a variety of pets and is very confident and comfortable around them. My sister also occasionally helps out, she has just completed her extended level 3 Animal care Qualification and has years of animal and pet work experience. Together, we provide plenty of companionship, attention, and consistency, helping pets feel settled and secure while their owners are away. I am punctual, responsible, and committed to making sure every pet is well cared for, exercised, and given plenty of attention. I am currently working and studying from home so I am available for all pet needs and services. Caring for pets is already apart of my daily routine having many pets myself. I’m able to care for pets both in my own home and in the pet owner’s home, depending on what is most comfortable for the pet and preferred by the owner. When caring for pets in the owner’s home, I aim to keep their routine as normal as possible. This includes feeding, fresh water, litter tray cleaning, playtime, and any specific instructions such as medication. I also make sure the home is left clean and secure, and I provide regular updates with photos so the owner has peace of mind. When caring for pets in my own home, I provide a safe, calm, and pet-friendly environment. I ensure they have a comfortable space, follow their usual feeding routine, and give them plenty of attention, exercise, and supervision. I treat every pet as if they were my own and make sure they feel relaxed and cared for during their stay. In both cases, my priority is always the pet’s wellbeing, comfort, and safety.

About: 🐾Get £15 OFF your first booking!🐾 Use code: GABRID21881 at checkout. I am a qualified veterinary nurse with experience caring for a wide range of animals. My training has given me a strong understanding of animal health, behaviour, and wellbeing. I love providing pets with the care, attention, and reassurance they need. I understand how important it is to find someone you trust with your pets and I always aim to make them feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. I currently work in a kennels where I care for dogs daily, including feeding, exercise, cleaning and making sure they are comfortable and happy. I also volunteered at a veterinary practice before starting university, which gave me early experience working with animals in a professional environment. I have owned dogs and cats my whole life and currently have two dogs and two cats. Buddy is my English Bull Terrier and Coco is my Shar Pei, who is a rescue and can be reactive at times which has given me a lot of experience understanding dog behaviour and working with more challenging personalities. I also have two cats, Cookie and Colin and Cookie is a senior cat with arthritis so I’m very familiar with caring for older pets and managing their comfort. Buddy also has kidney disease, so I understand the importance of specialised diets, medication and monitoring health closely. Because of my own pets and my veterinary nursing training, I’m very confident providing patient, attentive care and making sure every animal feels safe, loved and comfortable. I have also pet sat for friends and always make sure pets receive plenty of love, exercise and routine so they feel safe and happy while their owners are away. I currently work mornings and afternoons at a kennels from 7:30am–12pm and 2pm–5pm, with a two-hour break during the day where I can return to care for pets. I’m available before work, during my lunch break and from 5pm onwards in the evening. I’m happy to follow your dog’s usual routine, including feeding schedules and walks. If needed, I can do a morning walk, a walk during my lunch break and an evening walk. For dogs that enjoy more exercise, I’m also happy to take them to paddocks so they can have a safe run around and burn off energy. On Fridays I work an evening shift at a pub, so I would only be available with your pet from around 5pm–6pm before leaving for work and returning around midnight. Because of this I usually avoid Friday bookings, but I’m happy to discuss it with owners if this schedule still suits their pet. On Saturdays I work at the pub from 12pm–6pm, so I’m available in the morning and again in the evening. I am fully available on Sundays. I currently offer pet care in the owner’s home rather than bringing pets to my own home. I find that many animals feel much more relaxed and comfortable staying in their familiar environment, where they have their usual routine, smells and surroundings. My priority is always making sure pets feel safe, calm and well cared for while their owners are away. As a veterinary nursing student, I am confident handling animals safely and recognising signs of stress or illness. I am experienced in administering medication, following specialised diets and making sure pets receive the care and attention they need. I will always follow the owner’s instructions closely to maintain their pet’s normal routine, including feeding, walks, playtime and rest. I am also very happy to arrange a meet and greet beforehand, such as going for a walk together with the owner and their dog. This allows the pet to get to know me first and helps everyone feel comfortable and confident before any booking.

About: Ever since I can remember, I have always been surrounded by furry animals of all sizes. I have always been able to house/dog sit for my Dad's west highland terrier - Trixy - and Sister's Labrador Retriever - Millie. I enjoy training, walking and looking after all kinds of dogs. I have also always grown up with cats around and love them equally as much as dogs 💛 🐶 😺 I am currently studying and have moved back home to Peterborough, so I'm free to look after your beloved animal any day of the week throughout the summer. I would like to hear what your dog / cat likes: activities, treats, toys in order to make them feel as comfortable as possible. Please do let me know if they have special dietary requirements/intolerances/ allergies. Before taking care of them, I would like to know: Breed & Age Any health problems Feeding schedules / dietary requirements Walking schedules Any problems with behaviour Ok around children, with other dogs, and cats?

I can’t recommend India enough! Korra had such a great stay with India & her family. We got text/photo/video updates every day and they took care of her as if she was their own. It was our first time leaving Korra with someone while we were on holiday, and it was reassuring to know she was in such good hands. We’ll definitely be booking again next time we’re away!

We left our 3yo Labradoodle, Honey Bea, in the care of Sorrel for a week in July. Sorrel was superb. Honey only has a little social experience with other dogs and can be a bit nervous. But Sorrel's knowledge and experience really shone through. Throughout the week she kept us updated with text and pictures and, by the end of the week, Honey was happily mixing with Sorrel's dogs, which was an achievement all in itself! All in all, we couldn't be happier with Honey's boarding experience and would recommend Sorrel to other dog owners looking for a trusted place to board their pets. Will definitely use again. Thanks Sorrel! 😊

About: ​Since the age of 10, my life has been dedicated to animals. Growing up on a farm in Portugal, I was surrounded by the heartbreaking reality of stray animals, which sparked a lifelong mission to help. I couldn't turn a blind eye; I brought home every animal in need—from dogs and cats to injured birds. ​Eventually, after endless ignored "no more animals after this one" pleas, my parents finally accepted their fate and helped me build dedicated kennels on our farm. Together with the local community, we provided food, medical care, and a safe haven for these animals until we could find them their forever homes. Through these 17 years of rescue work, I didn't just provide care; I studied animal behavior deeply, learning how to communicate with and comfort dogs of all temperaments. ​Currently, I am the proud parent of two dogs—a Husky and a rescue Collie/Lab—who are my entire world. I know how difficult it is to leave your fur-babies behind, which is why I treat every guest like a member of my own family. ​When your dog is with me, they can expect: * 🌟 Endless Love & Cuddles: No shortage of affection and sofa time. ​🌟 Active Adventures: Frequent walks and play tailored to their energy levels. ​🌟 Paddock Time: I live 10 minutes away from a secure paddock where I take my dogs all the time; I'm happy to take yours for a run there too! ​🌟 A "Spoilt" Experience: I promise to love and spoil your pups just as much as I do my own. ​I truly miss the feeling of being surrounded by "fur" and making a difference in an animal's life. I can’t wait to meet your best friend and give them a home-away-from-home experience! I'm currently studying full time from home so your fur baby will never be alone. Walks 3x a day - morning after and evening I go paddocks often especially in good weather and I am happy to take yours along. ​I offer a safe, loving environment with a fully fenced-in garden for secure playtime. My two friendly dogs provide great company, ensuring your pet never feels lonely. I am experienced with crate training if needed for sleeping or quiet time. Whether in my home or yours, I prioritize a consistent routine, plenty of supervised exercise, and constant attention to keep your fur baby happy and secure.

Steve and his family were delightful and gave Maimie a lovely ‘home from home’ stay. Steve couldn’t have been more helpful. He gave us confidence from the moment we met him and his lovely dog Laszlo. He was a great communicator and sent through lovely updates and pictures while we were away. Best of all he clearly loves and understands dogs. It’s so great to find someone who is clearly adored by his canine friends! Thanks Steve and family!

About: I have been around animals all my life and was lucky enough to grow up with dogs, cats, horses, rabbits and hamsters- to name a few. I am a very loving, relaxed and laidback pet owner and love being around animals. I happily share my sofa and bed with my pets, so if that is something your dog would like, they would feel right at home when staying with me. My dog Oscar is a friendly and playful British bulldog and I also have 2 x 10 year old cats so any dog visiting would have friends to play with. I also have experience looking after puppies as well as older dogs. I work 4 long day a week but am free over the weekends to look after your dog. I generally walk Oscar once a day for an hour but sometimes he gets an additional half hour walk as well so can easily offer this for your dog. I have a large enclosed garden and space in the house to keep any dog separate from Oscar at nighttime if needed. There is also space for a crate if you prefer your dog to sleep in a crate.

Claire was able to help us out last minute which we were incredibly grateful for. She was super quick to respond to all my messages and I felt really confident our boy was in very safe hands. Our boy, Charlie, had a lovely holiday where he seemed to be welcomed as one of the family! I would have no hesitation recommending Claire and we will happily book again in the future.

About: DBS checked. Doggy first Aid trained. History of being a Dog walker /Pet sitter in the Rutland Area for many years. I have had my own family pets since I was a young child and can look after nearly any pet. I have previously looked after small-holdings which included animals such as Pigs, chickens, horses, goats etc. I am a weekday worker so i do most of this pet care around my full time job so usually update my availability around days off which now tends to be just weekends and bank holidays. Regular walks, toilet breaks. Never left alone for more than 4hours. Meals twice a day morning and evening. Regular stimulants - pre-agreed with dog owner. Arrangement of toys and play if the dog enjoys this.

Lola had a wonderful stay with Liga and was really made to feel part of the family. She was clearly very settled when we returned to collect her - I wondered if she even wanted to come home! Liga sent regular updates and photos of Lola whilst we were away, which kept our minds at ease during this first time of leaving her. Would absolutely book again! Thank you Liga and family ❤️

About: At our farmhouse, dogs aren't just guests—they are the centre of our life! We live in a spacious home surrounded by open fields, offering the ultimate retreat for your furry friend. Whether your dog loves to sprint through meadows or prefers a quiet sniff around the lanes, we have the perfect environment for them. • Secure Exercise: We have private, enclosed dog paddocks on-site, allowing for safe, off-lead running and play without any worry. • Professional Expertise: My husband is a professional dog trainer, meaning we are deeply experienced in reading dog body language and managing various temperaments. • Quiet Countryside Walks: We are tucked away from the hustle and bustle, with access to beautiful, peaceful local walks right on our doorstep. • Constant Company: I am home for the majority of the day. Your dog will be integrated into our daily farm life, receiving plenty of attention, play, and supervision. Our Resident Pack Your pup will be joining our friendly and diverse trio: • Mouse: Our energetic Working Cocker Spaniel (always ready for a game). • Enzo: Our loyal German Shepherd family protection dog. • Ruby: Our lovely, "very lazy" Bulldog (the master of nap time). A True Home-Away-From-Home We understand that leaving your dog is a big deal. Because we have a toddler, we maintain a calm, structured, and clean environment. We are used to looking after multiple dogs at once and pride ourselves on providing a high-energy outdoor lifestyle balanced with cozy evenings by the fire. Whether your dog needs a high-intensity weekend of exercise or a relaxed stay in the country, we can’t wait to welcome them to the family! Our daily life is built entirely around the needs of our dogs. Because of our staggered work schedules, our home is almost never empty. My husband works during the day, and I work in the evenings, meaning there is nearly always a human on-site to provide attention, play, and security. • Frequent Fresh Air: We utilise our three AstroTurf paddocks and our large grass paddock throughout the day. Dogs are let out every two hours for toilet breaks, stretching their legs, and supervised play. • Countryside Adventures: In addition to paddock time, we head out for one or two long countryside walks daily to enjoy the local scenery and fresh air. • Seamless Supervision: I am home throughout the day with the pack. Our dogs are only ever left for a short window (typically between 3 PM – 5 PM) during the "handover" when I head to work and my husband returns home. • Evening Wind-Down: Evenings are spent in the farmhouse where the dogs can relax after an active day. Availability We offer boarding 7 days a week (weekdays and weekends). Because we have a structured routine with our own three dogs, guest dogs slot right into our "farmhouse family" life with ease! • Double-Gated Security: Our entire property is enclosed by a secure perimeter fence. • Paddocks: We have four dedicated, high-fence paddocks (three AstroTurf and one large grass) where dogs can exercise off-lead in a completely controlled environment. • Zoned Living: Inside the house, we utilise a "crate and rotate" or separated living style. We keep our own three dogs in separate areas of the home when necessary to ensure guest dogs have their own space to relax and decompress without feeling overwhelmed. Professional Management: • Expert Oversight: With a professional dog trainer in the house, we are experts at reading canine body language. We never leave guest dogs unsupervised with our own pack or our toddler. • Individual Care: We have various sizes of crates available if your dog is crate-trained and prefers their own "bedroom" for sleeping or mealtimes. • Safe Walking: When we leave the property for countryside walks, we use high-quality leads and remain in quiet, low-traffic areas to keep stress levels low. Trust & Peace of Mind: Because I am home during the day and my husband is home in the evenings, your pet is monitored around the clock. We are used to managing multiple dogs and understand the importance of routine, clear boundaries, and lots of supervised fun!

Andy looked after our dog Lottie overnight and we honestly couldn’t have asked for better care. From the moment we met him, it was clear how kind, trustworthy and genuinely caring he is with animals. Lottie settled immediately and was so happy and relaxed when we collected her. Andy kept us updated, treated her like one of his own, and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. It’s obvious he truly loves dogs and takes great pride in what he does. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him and will absolutely be using him again in the future. First class in every way!
