Now we have the road map and with the vaccination rollout proceeding well, people are now starting to think about taking a well deserved holiday. If you are thinking of booking, and may be a new owner whose dogs have never been away from home we would suggest a meet and greet, followed by an overnight close to your intended dates. This way your dog will get to know us and should settle more quickly. This is the same as we do with very nervous dogs. We will also make some changes to dog handovers and collections to minimise any risk to you the owners and us, the dog sitters.

We also expect that once the worst of this is over - lets hope things do improve as predicted - we are likely to become very busy so early booking is essential and do remember we have a flexible cancellation policy should you find that you are not able to travel.

We offer dog sitting in our large ground floor flat, providing your dog with loving care, lots of play and cuddles as well as walks in the woods very near us. We do not have our own dog at the moment but do sometimes foster rescue dogs. Previous fosters shown in the photos are Leo who was so chilled out shortly after arriving home with us, and the absolutely gorgeous but a bit worried looking Cooper, offlead in the woods. And a few from recent dog-sitting - Dillon, Sully, Teddy, Rosie and Jerry. And one of the little cutie, Dobbie, who we fostered -this picture was sent to us by his adopters. Gorgeous aren't they all? Over the last fve years we have gained lots of experience in looking after dogs and also in making a dog feel comfortable and secure in our home. We have provided dogsitting for previous fostered dogs when their owners have been away, and recently for a friend's two dogs, a bull terrrier and a staffy, and can provide references if required. Please be aware we may have to decline bookings for any unneutered adult dogs, especially as currently there are a number of female puppies we meet on our walks who could potentially be coming into season so we do need to be careful, but we will of course give any potential booking proper consideration. The dog sitting can sometimes be just a day but we are finding that most of our bookings are for longer periods such as when people go away for a long weekend or a week or two on holiday which we do enjoy as the dog can get to know us. We now have many repeat bookings and are delighted that dog owners are happy to have us look after their pets again.
