I know from personal experience the challenges of finding the right care for a pet, especially when they are elderly or needing special treatment, so I would like to offer the service that you need. I am happy to accommodate as needed.

I have a 22-year-old daughter who has recently completed a Level 3 Animal Management course at Merrist Wood College, and we offer pet care together. We are able to care for dogs requiring oral medication, those suffering from seizures, or those who are deaf or blind. We have had dogs most of our lives, though we have not had one for the past couple of years.

We live in a house with a good-sized fully fenced garden that has plenty of shade, trees, and interesting places to sniff around in. I am happy for dogs coming for daycare to find their preferred space in the house - kitchen, sofa, or in my study while I’m at my desk are all fine with me, and my daughter would be delighted for your dog to snooze on her bed or be fussed over! Equally, if you have specific house rules about furniture, etc., we'll maintain those while your dog is with us.

For dog walking we generally use the field behind All Saints Church in Lightwater. We will only walk dogs on-lead (your pet’s recall may be great with you, but may not always be so good with someone new!) We only care for one dog at a time (though will take up to 3 dogs if they are all from the same home). 

You can also bring other pets to us – we are happy to care for your small reptiles, guinea pigs, rodents, and chickens. 

We have a single chicken, but she lives in a secure run and ignores dogs.
