Hi Everyone,

Just a quick one to say merry Christmas!!! Thank you so much for any gifts, they’re never expected but so appreciated! I’m forever grateful for all of you. Thank you.

A heads up for you all, I’ve told a few but I know I haven’t told everyone. We have bought our first home! In the new year we will be getting a license on it as soon as possible and I’ll let you all know when we are transferring over. We are still in Kirkham!!

Once again, thank you so much for your business and support! Have a lovely Christmas and I’ll see you all soon!

Efa is ready to run into the new year like….

Hello everyone,

An update for you all regarding 2025 holidays.

I will be taking the 21st February off and also trialling taking some holiday over the festive period, so I will close from the 22nd December 2025 until the 4th January 2026.

That’s of course in addition to the 5th-11th May and 3rd -9th November

I also just want to thank everyone for all your business this year! Thank you so much!!!

Lots of love,
Jess and Efa ❤️

Ready to get back to it!

My next holiday will be May 5th - May 11th

I’m also booking up very quickly for next year, please get in touch if you have any dates in mind. January and February are full.

An important thing to consider is a backup. I love all my pups and wish I could look after them whenever it was needed but I’m a small business and unfortunately I can’t always accommodate everyone! The link below will take you to a register of everyone under the fylde council with an Animal Welfare License. If you’re looking for other boarders, please make sure they are on there.

Finally, I am not accepting any new customers at all now. Sorry!

Thanks everyone!

Lots of love,
Jess and Efa xx

Hi everyone,

Just a reminder that I’m on holiday 4th - 10th November.

Whilst I have you, would anyone be able to fill out the below form please and let me know what they think of it? Was it easy, does anything need editing? Spelling mistakes 🤣 most importantly, does it work!

Looking to maybe make my forms digital so they’re a bit easier to keep track of!

Access Google Forms with a personal Google account or Google Workspace account (for business use).

Happy dogs from the last couple of months ❤️

Hi all,

Prices went up on Sunday so I’ve had an official price list made for you all to reference!

Any questions please feel free to PM me 🩷

Thank you everyone

Hi everyone,

Just a reminder that all my prices go up on 1st September, sorry for the late reminder!!! I also forgot to add to my last post and I will probably edit it to add, as well as the prices going up I will be starting to charge 1.5x for any walks or daycare on weekends or bank holidays. I hope that makes sense?

And finally just to remind you all my next week off is November 4th - November 10th (I’ll put yet another reminder out closer to the time 🤣)

Thanks everyone!! ❤️❤️❤️

Meet Efa the Cardigan Welsh Corgi, Seamus & Duncan the Cockapoos and Otto the Airedale Terrier.

All 4 joined me today at my most popular location for photoshoots, here in Workington all the way from Lancashire. Now, Efa belongs to Jess who runs and owns a dog walking and boarding business under .ark - Today she was looking after Seamus, Duncan and Otto and asked their owners if they were happy for them to be photographed too. Of course, they said yes! So they had an extra special adventure today!

Jessica has looked after Seamus and Duncan since they were just small pups, so despite not being hers in ownership, she loves them all the same.

All 4 dogs were super amazing. They practised their stays, and we managed to successfully get all 4 dogs together, sitting, laying down, and standing on a tree root - achievement unlocked!

Ps, Efas names is the Welsh spelling of Ava 😊

Hello everyone,

This is a much needed post! I have just received my 2025 diary and I’m closing my 2024 diary as I’m finding I’m booked back to back until December now and I’m not getting enough time to myself, I’ve done it to myself 🤦🏻‍♀️ going forward, any boarding bookings will require a 20% booking fee which is non refundable (except under certain circumstances) and will come off the total cost of the boarding.

The next thing I need to address are my prices. I’ve really resisted a price increase for years now and with the process I’m currently in they need to change, I should have my own bills to pay soon 🤞 so all my services will be increasing by £2 starting from September 1st 2024. I will message you all to confirm this. I will also be looking into sorting my website out so you can always check the prices!

In terms of holidays, my next holiday is 4th-10th November 2024 and the holidays I currently have planned for 2025 are 5th - 11th May and 3rd-9th November. But I’m also looking at going abroad for 3 nights in June/July. And in the interest of transparency if I end up breeding Efa she MAY have a litter at the end of 2025 and I would be looking at taking around 6 weeks off from walking and a few weeks off daycare, of course nothing is confirmed there as we have a lot to do before then.

I know I’m not the best at making these posts and I hope this all makes sense, please don’t hesitate to message me if you’re concerned about anything!

Thank you for reading and lots of love,
Jess and Efa ❤️

Can anyone help find a home for Dexter? (Who can say no to that face!)

Dexter is a 6 year old miniature labradoodle (17/09/2017), he is up to date with his vaccinations and his flea & worming.
Dexter is registered with preston vets4pets and groomed every 7/8 weeks. No maintenance required between grooms.

Dexter would benefit from a home without young children and potentially the only dog although does get on well with other dogs. He has previously lived with a cat but not for a few years so may need testing again with a cat.

Shares are appreciated!
