We've upgraded to a brand-new toy box for all the dog toys at home! 🎉

Our old box just couldn’t keep up with the growing collection, so now your furry friends will have plenty of choice—and easy access—to their favourite toys when they visit us. 🐾

🐶 Fun fact: It’s very common for your dogs to enthusiastically empty the entire box and play with every single toy! Watching them have so much fun is always a highlight. 😄

What’s your dog’s favourite kind of toy? Let us know below! 👇

🐾 Look at Vinnie’s happy little face! 🐾

Vinnie, a charming Maltichon, lights up our place with his playful, funny, and cuddly personality. While he can be a bit nervous around some dogs, his joyful spirit is absolutely infectious. We love having him stay with us and taking him on walks! 🐶❤️

Here’s to celebrating wonderful moments with your furry friends this Thursday! 🐾✨

What a fantastic Adventure Day #8 – our last one of the year! 🐾

We headed to the beautiful Devilla Forest with Bailey, Chester, and Walnut. 🐕🌲

The three boys had so much fun exploring, playing together, and enjoying plenty of sniffs along the way. ✨

It’s such a joy to take your furry friends on these longer walks, and we can’t wait for more adventure days in the new year! 🎉🐶

We’ve been walking Mylo for a few months now, and he's been an absolute delight! 🐾💖

This 7-year-old Lhasa Apso loves running, playing with other dogs, and his special talent is rubbing himself in the sand whenever we head to the beach! 😊

Today marks our last walk of the year with Mylo, and while we’ll miss him, we can’t wait to see him again in January 2025! 🗓✨

Here’s to many more adventures ahead, Mylo! 🎉🐾

We're so grateful to XO'Donnellx Xkonniex for the wonderful review! ♥️ It's been such a joy getting to know Cooper and watching his confidence blossom over time. 🌟

Your trust means the world to us, and we’re dedicated to ensuring every dog in our care feels safe, happy, and loved. 🐾

My dog cooper regularly goes trail running with Claire (non business related) and loves it..Recently though I had to ask Claire for an overnight stay for cooper, he was one very spoilt pooch lol..recieved regular updates from Claire throughout his stay and they kept to his routines for walks, feesing and crate etc. Cooper is very anxious around other dogs so Claire took the time to introduce him to their own dogs 3 times before the stay to make sure he was comfortable with them. I also got him on an adventure day last month again to build his confidence around other dogs...Claire took the time to choose the 2 most suitable dogs that she felt weren't too boisterous for him etc and let them meet before hand. He really enjoyed it and had a great time with the dogs she chose and now organised another. Claire and Nic are very good with Cooper and other dogs. I can see the relationship Claire has with cooper now over 6 month of running he is so happy when he sees her and the videos speak volumes when they are out. A very competent dog walking service and boarders who I would highly recommend 👌.

Say hello to our weekend guest, the lovely Milly! 🐶

Milly is a 4-year-old Beagle, and it’s her first time staying with us. She’s an absolute delight—super friendly, playful with other dogs and her toys, and always on a mission to sniff out all the best scents during her walks. 🐕

She’s also a big fan of belly rubs, cosy sofa naps, and treats (just like our Barbara!). Plus, we can’t get enough of her tiny hooves—they’re just adorable! 🐾

If you see us out and about, be sure to say hi to Milly—she loves meeting new friends! 👋

Congratulations to Sam and Bego! 🎉💍

Look at this gorgeous couple and their adorable boy, Bruno! 🐾 Bruno is a handsome cockapoo we've had the pleasure of looking after twice.

A few weeks ago, Sam and Bego tied the knot, and Bruno stole the show as their ring bearer! 🥰 Doesn't this lovely family look picture-perfect? Wishing them all the happiness in the world! ❤️🐶

We had a delightful guest today—Bella, the lovely cockapoo who’s also a fellow Torryburn local! 🐶💛 Bella often brightens our days when we meet her along the shore road, and today was no exception. She’s an absolute sweetheart who loves belly rubs and brings such positive energy wherever she goes. 🐾💖

It was pure joy to watch Bella play and bond with Nelly, Mylo, and Buster during today’s walk. They had the best time together! 🐕🐾

We feel so lucky to have shared some quality time with her. ✨

Happy Friday! How has your week been? ✨

We hope it’s been as calm and cosy as Macy was when we took this picture during her stay with us! For those who haven’t met her yet, Macy is a beautiful border collie who lives in Torryburn too, and she stayed with us for a few nights back in October. 🐶

Seeing your furry friends so relaxed and content in our care truly warms our hearts. ❤️ Our goal is to make our home feel like their home away from home. 🏡🐕

Tell us — what helps your dog feel most at ease? We’d love to know! 💬💕

🌟 Adventure Day #7 🌟

Today, we headed to the beautiful Devilla Forest with our fantastic trio: Nelly, Jock, and Wallace! These three besties have formed quite the bond, and it was heartwarming to see them enjoy each other’s company on this exciting outing. 🐾

They raced through the trails, played their hearts out, and soaked up the forest vibes—it was pure joy to watch! 🐕 Seeing your furry friends so happy makes every adventure worthwhile. 💛

Looking forward to more tails wagging and paws trotting on our next adventure day! 🐾✨

We’re so excited to have the lovely Bruno back for his second stay with us this weekend! 🐾🐶

Bruno is an adorable Cockapoo who struggles with separation anxiety. To help him settle in, we took him for a fun walk as soon as his mums dropped him off—and it worked wonders! ✨

He quickly relaxed and was so much happier to chill with us afterward. We absolutely love seeing him feel more at home each time! 🥰🐾

🐾 "A dog is the only creature on earth that will love you more than he loves himself." – John Grogan 🐶

At Steps & Stays Torryburn, we feel incredibly privileged to be part of our clients' dogs' lives each week. Every wagging tail and joyful bark reminds us of the bond we share with these loving companions. Their loyalty and affection inspire us daily, and we cherish the moments spent with them.

Thank you for trusting us to care for your furry family members! ❤️

What a fantastic day for the Steps & Stays family — our busiest yet! 🐾✨ We had the joy of spending time with TEN amazing dogs today, and every moment was full of fun, sniffs, and smiles. 🐶💛

🌳 Morning Adventures: Claire and the trio — Kirsty, Jock, and Henry — explored the beautiful Torryburn Woods. They had a blast crunching through leaves and discovering all the best sniffs! 🍁

🌊 Lunchtime Stroll: The shoreline was alive with excitement with Scouty, Nelly, Barbara, Buster, Walnut, and Alfie. There were races, splashes in the water, and even more sniffs to go around. 🐾

🏞️ Afternoon Run: Cooper joined Claire for a run through the woods and along the beach. He loved dashing across the sand and splashing in the water, his joy was infectious! It was the perfect way to end a fantastic day. 🌟🐾

We absolutely love spending these joyful moments with your furry friends. Here’s to more wagging tails and happy adventures ahead! 🐾❤️

Can we all take a moment to appreciate Henry's fabulous ears? 🐶✨ He could almost be in a L'Oréal advert... because he's worth it! 🤣

We snapped this photo during yesterday's walk when we briefly ventured onto the beach with the dogs. The winds were wild, so we decided to stick mostly to the woodland paths to keep your furry friends warm and safe! 🌲🐕

The reality of dog homeboarding! 🐾 Sometimes, caring for your dogs looks just like this— a cosy nap on Claire's lap while we relax in front of the TV 📺.

In this picture, Breagha is clearly enjoying the cuddles and comfort 🥰💤.

Creating that ‘home away from home’ experience for your dogs is at the heart of what we do 🏡❤️. Making your furry friends feel safe and relaxed by fostering calm, comforting vibes is always our top priority. Thank you for trusting us!
