We are a family with lots of dog-love to give: Luna, who is 15 and her Dad, Michael, who is ageless, now host our dog guests together. Chico, the son, now works fulltime, and so dodges the responsibilities but gets a lot of the fun for free! We love looking after dogs and it's a great environment for dogs and their attached humans around here. Ours is a large house with a large garden and with nearby woods and 3 large parks - Wardown Park, Pope's Meadow, People's Park - all within a short walking distance. We have lived in this house for the past 20 years. There is plenty of room for your pet to wander. We are highly experienced in looking after all sorts of dogs. I work from home a lot of the time - managing a film company. My daughter has a normal school day. So, there is nearly always one of us around overseeing your dog. We have a good-sized and very relaxing garden, but we will always keep your dog on a long leash there, unless we absolutely know they are a non-bolter. We would never leave your dog in the garden alone, with always one of us keeping them company and keeping an eye on them and keeping them cool and watered. Dogs we will not host: very large dogs, also Staffies, Cane Corso, Doberman, Husky, Rottweiler or any mix of these breeds. We know some are lovely, but we have tried and had poor experiences before, so don't want to risk it, for both parties. We rarely host Rescued dogs any more - we would need to be convinced.
