The dogs were very happy on all pictures and were so well looked after and spoiled! I wouldn’t hesitate to book chloe again and I will be recommending her to anyone I know who needs dog care.

About: I brought up my very well trained 4 year old lassie, taking her to many puppy training classes. Dog and cat friendly home. I understand dogs well and I am very active so they will be well taken care of. I’m available to walk and board dogs everyday keeping the company. I complete half days at college and have a part time flexible weekend job. I have a large fenced off garden so your dog will have space to play and potty. Spare large living room available if your dog needs their extra space alone which can fit a crate if that’s how they sleep.
