IMPORTANT NOTE: at present we are not offering services due to childcare.
We are a couple offering dog/animal boarding from our home. We have 16 years of personal experience with dogs, ferrets, rats & hamsters. We have looked after dogs of all sizes and temperaments. We do not have children in the home, it is just me & my partner.
We offer what we'd want for our own dogs if they were being boarded; a safe, secure, caring & loving home where your pet will be treated as if they are our own. We have a large sized dog bed (that is orthopaedic memory foam) in our kitchen where your dog can sleep. We are happy to allow dogs on our sofa, but if you do not wish for this we can set boundaries on this to ensure we teach your dog no bad habits!
We both still work full time outside of dog boarding & doggy daycare, so we cannot guarantee that we will be in all day every day Monday - Thursday, which is why we do not offer our services then. But we are in the house Friday, Saturday & Sunday. With boarding we offer at least an hour walk per day to ensure your pet gets out for some decent exercise each day. We board no more than 3 small to medium sized dogs and no more than 2 medium to large sized dogs (excluding our own 2).
Doggy day care - we can only offer this Friday - Sunday at present, as these are the days we are available outside of work. This means we can give your dog(s) our full attention that they deserve! With doggy daycare we include one walk if we have your dog for more than 4 hours. The walk will last at least 30 minutes, but we can walk for a shorter amount of time if your dog is not capable of this length of walk. For day care we take on no more than 3 dogs (excluding our own 2).
For dog boarding if you want us to have your pet BEFORE 6pm, then you must also book a doggy daycare slot. If you are picking your dog up AFTER 9am you must also book a doggy daycare slot to cover us looking after your dog.
Doggy daycare - between 9am and 6pm.
Dog boarding - from 6pm until 9am.
Please be mindful before booking that we do have two of our own dogs, so your dogs must get on with other dogs.
We are happy to meet your pets needs and our two dogs LOVE company! We have a very spacious & secure garden that the dogs can run around and have fun in.
Our garden is part patio and part natural grass. There are high fences and the gates are secured to ensure you pet can’t get out. We also live near some lovely parks & nature reserves to take your dog to for exercise.
We will meet all your needs to ensure your pet gets the utmost care & attention they deserve to ensure your peace of mind.
Our dogs eat a dry diet, but we are happy to cater to other dietary needs, including BARF, raw, tinned & frozen foods.
We are fully insured for pet boarding, doggy daycare and dog walking.
We have plenty of spaces in our house for your pet to relax if need be.
If your pet has specific preferences on toys/blankets/treats please let us know and we will cater to this. We are happy to take their blankets to help them have a part of their home with them to help them relax in our home.
If you have any questions please get in touch & we will be happy to help where we can :)
