Pet care experience
My partner and I have looked after a variety of animals including our family’s Chihuahua and 17 year old cat. We love all types of dogs (and will be getting our own Pommie in the future!) and look forward to welcoming your furry friend to our home :)
We offer a home away from home for dogs of all sizes, from puppies to seniors, and have experience with different medical conditions, rescue dogs and some behavioural issues. We do our best to accommodate every dog's needs and their happiness is our top priority!
We own a safety gate (for sectioning off stairs for puppies and carpeted areas for dogs with allergies), provide a range of toys for playtime with different breeds, supervise the dogs in our care with pet cameras, enjoy grooming our dogs, and you can expect regular updates with photos throughout their stay.
Availability
I am currently available on a full-time basis and my partner works from home Wednesday to Friday as well! We do our best to accommodate every booking!
Safety, trust and environment
We live in a detached 3 bedroom house with a large, bright and sunny fenced garden in a beautiful green area. We are lucky enough to be right next to Chafford Gorges nature reserve where we walk the dogs in our care regularly. We love exploring the area and visiting our many local parks and surrounding dog-friendly spaces. Dogs are allowed on the furniture and if we are boarding dogs from different families, each will have their own room to sleep in. We are also a 5 minute walk from our local Medivet for peace of mind!
We love getting more things for the dogs in our care, and currently have our own cooling mats, extra water bowls and a portable bottle for walks, fans and air conditioning for summer, and cosy dog bedding for winter. We provide machine washable puppy pads and have a supply of treats and poo bags of our own too. We keep a spare lead, and tags with our details on while your dog is staying with us for extra security. We also have a range of brushes and wipes for different fur types, and keep our own doggy first aid kit. We have thought about as many things as possible to ensure that your dog is given top quality care!
A typical day
My partner and I love to keep active, go on long walks and play with the dogs in our care. We sometimes go on trips, meet up with our friends with dogs and find dog-friendly restaurants too!
Information we would like to know about your pet
We have created a Google form which we would ask you to fill in before your stay with everything we need to know to provide the best care for your dog. Questions include:
- Does your dog have any medical conditions?
- Is your dog neutered/spayed?
- What is their eating, toileting and walking schedule?
- Where does your dog usually sleep?
- How does your dog react to other dogs?
We can host dogs from up to 3 families in our home at a time and would love to do a meet & greet to get to know them and see how they would get along with any other dogs that we might have during your booking! We would also encourage a trial day for longer stays to get your dog comfortable :)
Full refund if canceled before 12:00 p.m. one day before the booking, 50% refund afterward.
No refund is payable if the booking is canceled on or after the start date.
Note: All times are based on the sitter’s time zone
Laura and Kevin seemed to go the extra mile when looking after Lola. All instructions were followed and all Lola's needs were met but, in addition, it was clear from the pics, videos and updates sent that she was getting plenty of attention, exercise, enrichment and love. She really seemed to enjoy her holiday. I would not hesitate to leave Lola in Laura and Kevin's very capable hands.
Absolutely amazing. Photos everyday of how happy bow was. She was looked after so well, she was sad when she left. We will definitely be using Laura again and recommending to others.
Thank you again for taking care of bow.
