Dog Boarding in Torridge

“My labradoodle Davey had the most amazing time with Isabelle. She is a super-nanny for dogs with lots of walks, play dates, puppiccinos and doggie muffins and even a coconut scented bubble bath just before being collected. Davey was happy and relaxed when I arrived. I thoroughly recommend Isabelle x”

“This is the 4th time that Oliver has been to Steve and Tanya for his holiday, the way he jumps out of the car and runs into the house says it all for me, I know he is happy and loved when we are away. X”

About: I have been a pet owner my entire life, owning a variety of animals over the years, including guinea pigs, cats, dogs, horses, sheep, goats, rabbits chickens, ducks and geckos! I have worked as a professional groom, house & pet sitter, and dog walker for many years; owning my own business, Happy Tails since 2015, which quickly gained a consistent and loyal cliental of contented owners of dogs, horses, pigs and cats. Since moving to North Devon, Happy Tails has become a part time business, whilst I also work as a director of Youth Theatre, and also paint pet and wildlife portraits, and parenting my 3 children. I am confident with all animals, including those with challenging behaviours, and have training in dog behaviour and communication, canine and equine nutrition, and holistic health care. I believe in treating every person and animal with equity, as individuals, and with the greatest observational care, diligence, and of course all the fuss, belly rubs and head scratches they need! I am very conscientious and will look after your pets and home as if they are my own; offering to clean, pick up mail, water plants and anything else you need in addition to prioritising your pet's care and well being! An added bonus is that my wife is a dog trainer, vet technician and veterinary practice manager, and as such have experienced advice to hand immediately! I fully understand the worry that comes with leaving our precious pets, and will communicate regularly with you, sending photos and videos as well as text updates, or calls if required! Your pets will be in safe, happy and caring hands every day, whether they are boarding here, in your own home, for quick drop ins, or fun walks! I work very flexible, setting my own schedule and can work house sitting, pet sitting, drop ins or walks around your requirements and my own routine! We can talk about what you and your pet need and make a brilliant plan! I care for each and every pet individually, chatting extensively with you to find out all their needs, quirks, favourite things, routines, feeding requirements, and anything else you want to tell me. All animals deserve to be treated with equity, and as such no job is ever the same. But you can be assured that I will always be super compassionate, caring, diligent, communicative, vigilant, confident and reliable, no matter what the circumstances.

“We knew from the outset that Oscar would be happy with Emma. Both she and her husband took him into their hearts and he clearly had a wonderful time exploring their beautiful home and garden. He got along splendidly with the two greyhounds and was treated like another member of the family. I shall certainly send Oscar here again.”

I was really nervous leaving him for a week but the photos and messages made me feel really at ease. I could tell when I picked him up that he had been cared for well. I would leave 6 stars if possible!”

About: I have grown up with lots of different types of dogs and only recently lost our little 18year old terrier who I trained as a puppy. I also have experience dog sitting and walking for my neighbours I have recently left my job and moved back home to my mums. I have a free schedule for the summer whilst I decide what I want to do next and look for new work I live with my mum and our little dog recently passed away, I would love to have another dog around to give endless cuddles to. The house is secure and garden is fenced. I am used to having a dog around to look after.

About: I’ve always had dogs since I was a child, specifically labradors. Lots of experience dealing with senior labs, blind and arthritic and understand the need for extra care. Family friends also often rely on me to look after their dogs, often very hyper spaniels! Happy for big walks, lots of fetch or just lots of cuddles. I am currently working part time so I can easily fit in time to walk and play with dogs. Happy to look after dogs both boarding or in my own home. I have no dogs of my own at the moment but do have one cat. A big garden and field for games, happy to cater to any specific requirements.
