Auntie Emma's home dog boarding Cimla

21/10/2024

Looks like they are just about surviving boarding with their Auntie Em 😝😍

It's natural to worry when leaving your dogs anywhere especially anywhere new with a stranger but hopefully when you start getting pictures through like these through you'll soon see there's nothing to be worried about 🤗 🐶

- When looking for boarding they should invite you to visit the premises to see if it's suitable for your dog firstly as part of the licence and answer any of your questions such as where they will sleep, eating arrangements, what vaccinations they need, exercising the dogs etc. They should invite you to see inside and outside during this visit and this is your chance to check if things like fence height is suitable for your dog etc. You'll get to see if the dogs staying there at the time of your visit are happy and stress free and how the boarder interacts with them but always go with your gut instinct when making a final decision.

- A trial night is always a good idea to see how they cope when your not around as you don't want a phone call when your away saying they aren't suitable for any reason 😬

Visiting a few home boarders might be beneficial as not all home boarders suit every dog and don't always go with the one thats the cheapest .. but the cheapest one could also be the best one ofcourse :D 🐶

A little hour with these cutie pies at the Pug cafe in Koh Samui, Thailand .. lots of cuddles and treats 😍 🐾

They are a non profit cafe that rescue pugs across Asia so well worth a visit 🤩 🐶

Koh Samui, Thailand - Street dogs 🐶

Nightly routine of sausages and a top up of water for some of the street dogs outside the villa 😍 they are usually further down where I put the water so don't hang out on the driveway but they heard me open the door but they know not to come up to the door etc and don't harass people but they know I'm only coming out just to see them!

As you can see they are fed well around here and aren't skinny, they are so polite, take food gently and eat slowly and are super friendly. You'll see the same dogs on the same streets everyday as they all have their spots where they like to hang out and are usually in packs 🐶 it's a bit of extra security around the villa too 😉

(Sorry to the poor snail that one of the dogs stood on that I didn't spot until I played the video back 🐌 😔)

WALKS 🐾

I've had a few questions about the walks we do and if they are included in the price of the overnight stay so thought I'd do a quick post with some info about them.

Are walks included in the price? 🐾

Yes! Daily walks are included in the price for overnight stays and are the favourite part of the day for most of my boarding dogs! 😀 .. These are not just around the block type of walks, we go to different walk locations everyday! These range from woodland, mountains, beach, fields, canal, secure fields (for when I have a few that cant go off the lead for any reason so they can have a run around safely) just to name a few. We try new routes when we can and we aren't restricted with time so can go for as long as we like.

ADJUSTED WALKS - The walks are always catered to the dogs I have staying so some may not be able to do the bigger walks but nobody misses out and I alter the walks to the dogs needs, ages, energy, medical issues etc. I have a dog pram, dog carry bags etc as options for those who can't walk or can't walk far. (The price per night is discounted for those dogs who can't go on walks at all.) I have alot of dogs that are either elderly or aren't well enough to do miles of walking which is never an issue and this is where adjustments are made for them so they can still have fun with the others but safely 🤗

WEATHER - Ofcourse it's weather dependent as well 🌦. We'll go out in all weather's but changed slightly depending on what type of weather we have. I have plenty of equafleeces and coats to choose from and cosy drying robes to cwtch up in when the walks finished 🐶. Usually after a wet walk they have a nice warm bath when they get in too 🛁.

ON/OFF LEAD - As you can see from these pictures alot of my dogs are off lead on walks as I've looked after them a long while now but this is dependant on giving your permission and also creating a relationship with them myself where I feel they will come back to me when needed. Recall is really important to ensuring they stay safe whilst on walks. For those dogs who don't go off lead that's absolutely fine too, this is when I'll book a couple of secure field dates in for them so they can freely and safely run around with the others and I also have different sized long lines up to 50ft that can be used so they can still run around with the others and go quite far but with the added security of me holding it but the dogs who use this must have a well fitted harness because it's not safe to use around their neck on a collar. Well fitted collars and harnesses are a must when staying as unfortunately alot aren't and can wriggle their way out of them.

TRAVELLING TO AND FROM WALKS - 🚘 As we go to different locations for walks the dogs are transported to and from these walks in a crated van. I have various size crates dependant on the dogs sizes and make sure they have comfortable mats/beds which are cleaned regularly. Some dogs may not be used to travelling in crates but soon get used to it when they realise they are going somewhere fun 😀

The dogs love nothing more than to explore new places, smells and just love running around with eachother so it's an important part of their stay here 🐾 💕🌲. I don't post alot of pictures to this main page anymore they all go in my private group which is a customer only group and this is where I do live videos of their walks so you can see what they're up to in real time and then lots of videos and pictures of every walk they do.

If anyone has any questions please feel free to pm me. I do take a little while to respond as I'm out in the days with the dogs so usually respond in the evenings. Thank you :)

Lauren’s Luxury Pet Care

Hi guys, for anyone who is looking for a pet sitter in your own home please consider getting in touch with my lovely cousin Lauren who has decided to start offering the below services 👩

Lauren has helped me for years with the dogs and sitting for me when I've needed to go out so is used to looking after multiple dogs and the dogs absolutely adore her and is trustworthy but she has alot more experience personally than just helping here.

She has a range of small animals and dogs herself at home so has plenty of experience plus she has been working at a local farm for a while now so even has experience with farm animals. 🐄 🐑

Her dog Ollie who is a labrador is reactive and she knows how to manage this really well but still giving him the best walks and has trained him to do lots of tricks along with all the standard training involved with having a dog. 🐶 Her other little dog Monty isn't a huge fan of dogs either so she also has experience with this 😄

She has done overnight sitting for a few of my customers for me over the years when I've been full or the dog isn't suited for home boarding and I'm sure they would say they were happy with how she looked after their dogs 🐶 🏡 she has been doing dog walking for a while now too around her college hours.

As stated below she is currently in college studying animal management 9-5 during the weekdays so this would only suit customers who are looking for overnight sitting however on weekends she will be available during the days as well 📅

She is insured for pet sitting and dog walking 🚶‍♀️ 🐾

If you could follow her page below if anybody might need any services in the future or for my current customers if I can't help and Lauren will be updating lots of pictures and videos of just some of the dogs and animals she's worked with over the next few days as the page is brand new 🙂

If you have any questions please message Lauren on her page 🙂 thank you! (Please be aware that this is Lauren's own business and separate from Auntie Emma's )

Finally some bed time shots 📸 from the last few days! I don't think they could get any comfier 😄

Some of the dogs choose to sleep downstairs or are behind me or not in sight if sleeping on the floor or down the other side of the bed etc so if you don't see them on pictures that's usually why :)
