What a great week full of gorgeous doggy visitors.

We had old boy Oscar, who is just a sweetheart. Then the terrific two, Barney and Fred have come to stay…. They help me by licking all the plastic pots ready for the recycling and they give the best cuddles. And Amber and Iggy have come to visit us. The girls have been outnumbered by the boys but they definitely love having them around and they all play so nicely together.

Our books are now back open, however we are booked up now until September. We do have some space left in September, October and November so feel free to send us a message if you’re looking for a traditional home from home stay for your pup. 🐶

It’s been fun having these two fun bugs stay with us, even if Leo took himself off on an adventure one of the days. They are so good, so well behaved and we love looking after them. 🐾

I have been open since 2019, and I had never looked after a golden retriever (one of my favourite breeds) until this year. 5 years on and I get to look after 2 of them in the space of a month!!!! 😍

Everyone say hi to Haarley!!!! 💙 he is only 6 months old and has settled so quickly. He loves running around with Archie and is such a bundle of joy.

30/03/2024

We are completely full for both weeks of the TT. We also have 6 people on the waitlist.

However If you need a recommendation for another homestay feel free to message me and I’ll help you find somewhere else.

Many thanks

Fan favourite Vera not only came for daycare yesterday but also stayed the night! She is such a lovely little girl and we LOVE having her come to stay. We love you Vera!!!! 🐾💕

Rolo went home on Monday a day before Romeo and after Rolo left Romeo was searching for him, even sitting by the back door to wait for him. I’ve never experienced this before so it shows how much Romeo really loved Rolo. This was the evening before Romeo went home and he looks so sad…. I definitely think he has a friend for life with Rolo. It’s going to be carnage when they next meet!! 🤣🤣

Happy Mothers day to you all. 💕

One of the best things I did as a mother was raise a daughter who has learnt to be kind and caring to animals.

So when I said Romeo really likes our other homestay pup chocolate lab Rolo, I didn’t think he would try and look like him too!

One of my favourite breeds ever is a long haired golden retriever but I’ve never had the chance to look after one….. until today!!!!

Everyone say hello to Romeo!!!! He has become fast friends with our other homestay Rolo and they have been inseparable since Romeo got here. We’re in for a few fun days!!! 🐾

Soggy doggies waiting for a treat. 🐾 🍖 I’ll be sad to say goodbye to Luca tomorrow. He’s been so fun to have around and has lovely manners.
We also had Rolo come today…. I just love his face and love to give him lots of kisses!!!

Archie loves chocolate labs and he loves having his friends come to stay. 🐾🐾

We’ve had a busy week as our Boss turned 3!!!! She had a fantastic party and the most amazing cake ever! Here’s to 3 years of us all still being alive!! 😂😂

Castle cake with all of Aoife's favourite characters 🏰🎂👸🎊 celebrating her 3rd birthday 🥳🎉

We’ve had some time off over the past few weeks, but we’ve now opened our doors to some amazing pups this week. We’ve got the terrific two, Fred and Barney who are always so much fun. Molly the sweet chilled out little love who just loves a cuddle, and yesterday we had the arrival of old boy Oscar. Oscar is 13 and the oldest dog we look after and he is such a good boy, choosing to sleep over anything else but enjoys his food and a little walk.

And of course our very own Mr Soft, Archie who just loves having his friends come to stay!

So today I got to introduce Aoife to the dog that made me love dogs as much as I do today.

Hero was born into the Guide Dog family but unfortunately due to a health condition had to retire after training and go up for adoption. He was adopted by my mums neighbours. I would offer to walk Hero when back home from my time working on cruise ships, and would often look after him if and when needed. Purely because I loved his company.
He became my bestest friend and even helped me when I went through a heartbreak! I pretty much saw him everyday when I was home, for more or less 10 years and I vowed to one day, have my own Labrador, just like Hero.

Due to moving to the Isle of Man and my mums neighbours moving away, I haven’t seen Hero in 2 years.

And today, on his 13th birthday, we got to see him again.

He never forgot me, and was so happy and excited to see me. He really is a special dog.

Happy Birthday Hero!!! My first Lab Love! 🐾🐾♥️
