I have nearly two years’ experience providing home-from-home dog boarding and daycare, caring for a wide range of dogs and building strong relationships with both pets and their owners.

I work from home full-time, so dogs staying with me have plenty of company, supervision and attention throughout the day. They are rarely left alone, and if I do need to go out it would only be for a short period.

I aim to keep each dog’s routine as close to home as possible, with regular walks, play, rest and plenty of individual attention. I’m based close to Balloch Country Park and Loch Lomond, giving us access to excellent local walking routes.

Dogs stay inside my home as part of the household rather than in kennels. They are welcome on the furniture, although I don’t allow dogs to sleep in my bed. I’m happy to follow their usual sleeping routine where practical, whether they normally sleep in their own bed, crate or another comfortable area of the home.

My garden is not fully enclosed, so dogs are never given unrestricted access to it. Outdoor toilet breaks and garden time are supervised, and dogs are kept secure when outside.

Before any stay I like to understand your dog’s personality, exercise needs, feeding routine, medical requirements and any anxieties or triggers so I can make sure my home is a suitable environment for them.

I can also provide regular photo updates during their stay so you can see how they are getting on.
