01

Before arrival

  1. Enquiry

    Send us your dates and tell us a little about your dog.

  2. Discuss your dog's needs

    We talk through routine, temperament, health and anything that matters.

  3. Agree dates

    We confirm availability personally — an enquiry alone is never a confirmed booking.

  4. Meet-and-greet

    We arrange a friendly meeting between your dog and our family dogs so everyone can get along before the stay is confirmed.

  5. Share the details

    Feeding, walking, routine, medication and any special requirements.

  6. Arrange drop-off

    We agree a time that suits you and settle your dog in gently.

During the stay

  1. Part of the household

    Your dog lives with us in the home — not in a kennel.

  2. Two 1-hour+ walks every day

    Countryside paths, fields and forest, every single day.

  3. Garden access

    A garden to potter about in throughout the day.

  4. Time with the family

    Company, play and calm downtime — never left alone for long.

  5. Two resident dogs

    Friendly company from our own dogs, at your dog's pace.

  6. Daily photos

    Regular photos so you can see how your dog is doing.

    A well-exercised, well-loved dog goes home with you.
