“First class, first time Phoebe was left overnight with someone not in her own house. I was updated often with images and how she was doing. I was anxious at first but I soon realised she was happy and showered with attention, just as I had hoped for. Phoebe has come home and slept all day. That’s a great sign!! Looking forward to many more visits x”

About: I'm a lifelong animal lover with a genuine passion for keeping pets happy, healthy and safe. over the years, I've cared for dogs from energetic puppies to senior companions. Whether its a relaxed stroll or an energetic run or some extra cuddle time, I tailor every walk and visit to suit each pets unique needs. I am currently not working after relocating recently. Pet care has been part of my everyday life! I now plan my days around walks,. Whether it’s a morning walk or an afternoon visit. I keep a consistent routine to ensure every animal feels safe, loved, and well cared for. I dont have plans to board dogs at the moment but maybe in the future this will become an option that i will look into.
“Scott was fantastic with Tyson, handled his behaviour fantastically and Tyson was clearly loved and spoilt during his stay. Would highly recommend and will definitely rebook for future trips.”

“Boris hadn't been left with anyone or in kennels however from the meet and greet I just knew he was going to fit right in with Donald. Donald sent updates and pictures whilst we were away. You can just tell he has a love for dogs and I now have someone I would happily leave Boris with. Thank you for everything”

“Would give 6 stars if I could! Claire was exceptional with my cocker spaniel Paddy. He was boarding in Claire’s comfortable home and as Claire sent daily pics from their walks on the beach, this provided reassurance that Paddy was settled and enjoying his stay with Claire. Highly recommended five star pet boarder!!”

We have a large, secure garden where dogs can play safely, as well as plenty of time, affection and patience to make them feel at home I currently work from home so I am available throughout the day to attend to your dog through out the day as well as evenings and weekends I care for pets by sticking closely to their normal routine, including feeding, exercise, and medication if needed.
