We are 

Julie & Ashley

We have Springers, Bella & Roxy, who are our babies!  We can assure you that we will also treat your dog(s) the same way.   Bella and Roxy have the run of the whole house at all times and they sleep wherever they want to, whether it is in their bed, on our bed, on the floor or on the sofa and your dog will be treated the same.

Bella is 12 yrs old and we rehomed her when she was 3, not knowing she was in pup.  She had 6 lovely puppies of which we kept her first born.  All the other puppies went to lovely homes which I am still in contact with.  Bella is a diva, she knows exactly what she wants.  She loves a fuss and gets excited at walk times, but also loves the quiet life, so she will be found upstairs in her bed or asking to go in the car, weather permitting!

Roxy, Bella's daughter, is 9 years old.  Roxy is a sweetie, she can be timid with people to begin with but soon comes around and is very friendly with dogs.  Roxy loves to help her dad in the garden, going for a walk and cuddles on the sofa.  She just loves to be with us all the time, even in the bathroom.

Ashley and myself have both been brought up with animals.  When Ashley was growing up he had a Red Setter & German Shepherd.  I had rabbits, then a border collie (Becky).  I also had a horse, Tango.  We had a Boxer dog called Henry who I rehomed at 3 years old.  He loved everyone and was as good as gold.  We then had Jack, a Lab Cross, who we rehomed at approximately 6 months old and lost last year at the age of 17.  He was the most loveable dog with people.  He did have separation anxiety and a few issues and he loved to keep us on our toes.

We have always owned dogs as well as several other animals. We currently have 2 rabbits (Sooty & Sweep), 3 sheep (Emily, Izzie and Lilly) and a pygmy goat called Ellie.  Emily the sheep, was very weak when she was born.  So we took her home for 6 weeks so we could bottle feed her before taking her join the other animals we have.   Jack, Bella & Roxy were stars with her.

Ashley worked with horses for over 15 years and in that time, he worked for the BHS as a Horse Welfare Officer, Riding School Inspector and  a Riding Instructor.  He now works in a different industry.

 I have worked as a Mortgage Adviser, which has been a great job, but I have always wanted to be at home full-time with our wonderful dogs and  look after people's dogs. When I got the opportunity to set this business up, I jumped at it.  I will be your dogs main carer whilst you are away.

Our dogs go everywhere they can with us.  If we go out for a meal we always go to dog friendly pubs so they can come too.  Your dog(s) would come too, as long as you and they are comfortable with us doing this.

At our home we have a secure lawned garden and 2 secure gravel areas.  One of which is covered with seating in.  So on a lovely day I can sit outside with them where they will have shade and dog beds to rest in.

We also have access to a secure paddock area where our other animals are kept. Your puppy dog(s) can have a play and if it's a warm day or rains, we have a lovely caravan they can shelter in.

We are a kennel free home.

We are both fully qualified Dog First Aiders. DBS Checked, Full Public Liability Insurance and 4 Star higher standard council rating, Dog Home Boarding qualification.
