We are an alternative to kennels.
Our personally selected carers, all dedicated dog lovers who are at home during the day, will look after your dog in a caring family environment while you are away.
All our homes give loving care and attention. Your dog will not be with young children, other dogs, or cats. All dogs have access to a fenced garden and are kept on leads for walks. We always aim to match dogs to carers and you can meet the carers before leaving your dog with them.
Your dog will wear one of our dog tags for the duration of their stay. Dogs will be covered by third party liability insurance, but we recommend you take out your own pet insurance to cover illness or injury, as veterinary bills will be reclaimed when you return to collect your dog.
All this for just £14 per day
(plus £9 per day for a second dog from the same family).
This excludes food, which is provided by you. You specify how many times you would like your dog to be walked each day and when he/she is to be fed.
We aim to maintain the normal routine of your dog wherever possible.
