Hi, I'm Toby — dogs have been the best part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up surrounded by them, spent two years caring for other people's dogs around the Rushden area with my partner, and I've just made the biggest decision of my working life: I've walked away from a career managing teams of 300+ in busy warehouses because, hand on heart, I'd rather spend my days surrounded by dogs — giving them care, love and a proper home-from-home — than anything else.

That's what Frisby's Dogs is. Not a kennel, not a cage in sight — just our home, opened up to your dog as one of our own. I keep numbers small and deliberately low so every dog gets real attention: proper walks (we're spoilt for green space around here), play, rest, and a comfy spot on the sofa.
The heart of all this is Hera, our rescue from Romania. When she arrived, she spent three weeks hiding under the sofa, terrified of everything. Today she sleeps in our bed, is fully house-trained, happy off-lead, knows a stack of tricks, and is the friendliest dog you'll meet.

Rehabilitating her taught me real patience and a feel for nervous, rescue, or just plain quirky dogs — so if yours is a little anxious or particular, they're in exactly the right hands. Hera's also a bit of a social magician: one of her best mates is a 60kg Rottweiler who won't play with any other dog on earth — but the second he sees Hera, he's zooming around like a puppy.

It's mainly me looking after your dog day to day, with my partner — who loves the doggos every bit as much — working from home regularly and on hand to help. No kids, calm and settled, secure garden, brilliant walks on the doorstep.
Your dog won't be "just another booking" here — they'll be part of the pack. Come join us! 🐾
