There is a minimum board of two nights, and I can provide up to 2 home visits a day if you are away briefly.

I'm a former Registered Nurse, and previously volunteered at a shelter for 2 years.
Boarders can access a grassy back yard, a small dog courtyard and a few good sun windows. I cater for only one boarder at a time, and work from home.

My resident ridgeback boy of 10 is social but can be disturbed by bigger male or busy dogs. To avoid stressing him (shown by retreat to a bedroom) I currently prefer to host only new female dogs as he is always warm to them.

Quality check-list
- 1 boarder cap, no more than 2 client dogs walked together
- frail sickly dogs catered
- dogs with poor recall get good mileage but on an ultra-long leash
- all play is monitored
- no positive punishment tactics

Bespoke Boarding

Dogs free range in my modest bungalow, and the yard is private from view & not accessed in my absence. When I'm out dogs are rested in separate zones.

Daily walk/runs are taken at the beach or on cycle tracks/in parks.

Guests will overnight in a spot of their own choosing - couch, dog bed, crate or even foot of sitters bed (if that's allowed). 

Nature Walks

These are either solo or with two dogs given compatibility, the UK has outlawed pack walks (defined as 4 dogs or more) because of nasty incidents.
We take a half up to an hour and local beaches, parks and cycleways are rotated. Pick up is from 11 to 2pm.

Home Visits of 30-45 mins

May include play, cuddles, toileting, feeding, medications, even a light five minute stroll round the block (in the daytime) for sensory stimulation.
Bookings are avail between 9am-1pm and 7-11pm. 

Approach

My way to win licks and influence dogs is through rewards or withholding them - the "nothing in life is free" philosophy, and the use of a big NO where necessary! Positive punishment/Alpha training is never used. TLC is freely given - the vital ingredient for dogs settling in.

Clients must have up to date vaxes including kennel cough for boarders, and be wormed. 

Warmest Regards, and feel free to message me if you have further questions
