Dogs stay with us as part of family life, which includes myself, my husband and 3 sons - 2 of which are over 18. They dogs enjoy plenty of companionship, enrichment, exercise, and affection.

For cats and small pets, we offer drop-in visits and care in the comfort of their own home, helping to maintain their usual routine while you’re away. We have experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, including those requiring medication or additional support.

Our care is particularly well suited to friendly companion breeds, smaller dogs, and pets who enjoy a relaxed, family environment.

We absolutely love animals and have always had pets in our lives. We have our own dog - a small Cavapoo - so we truly understand how much pets mean as part of the family. Between us, we have many years of experience with dogs, cats and small animals, including rabbits. We understand that every pet is different, and we always take the time to get to know their individual routines, personalities and little quirks so they feel comfortable, safe and well cared for.

I work on a freelance basis, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to be at home for much of the day. My husband also works from home 3 days a week and my sons are around regularly and love getting involved with the dogs - whether that's playing fetch, joining us on walks or giving them a cosy place to sleep. This means the Pets in our care receive plenty of attention, companionship, and interaction throughout the day, making them feel truly part of our family while they're with us.

We have a fully enclosed garden with plenty of space for dogs to run around, explore and enjoy being outside safely. 

We have experience with dogs and cats at all life stages, from playful puppies/kittens through to seniors, and understand the different levels of care, patience and reassurance they may need. One of our own cats was an indoor Bengal with additional needs, so we are confident administering medication and providing gentle, attentive and patient care, always tailored to each animal’s individual needs.

Your pet’s comfort, happiness and wellbeing are always our priority. We aim to provide a calm, reassuring presence so they feel safe, settled and loved while you’re away. We also offer reliable local walks and drop-in visits in the Horsham area, ideal for busy owners, workdays or holidays. 

We also have very close links to a vet surgery in the area and are able to help with transportation to Vets visits if needed. 

We’re always happy to send updates and photos, so you can feel completely at ease knowing your pet is in kind and capable hands 💛

🐾 Suitability & Home Environment

We offer a calm, home-from-home environment and are best suited to small to medium sized, friendly, sociable dogs who are comfortable around other dogs and in a home setting. As we have our own dogs and may care for more than one at a time, we are not the right fit for dogs with aggressive behaviours or those who prefer to be the only pet. Having said that we never have more than 3 or 4 dogs at any one time to ensure we can give them the attention they deserve. 

We always arrange a meet & greet to ensure everyone is happy and comfortable.

If you’d like to have a chat or arrange a meet & greet, we’d love to hear from you 😊
