Dear Clients,

As we are about to leave another year behind I would like to thank all my amazing regulars for your continued trust and support throughout 2023❤️

This year went by so fast and I have only been able to board dogs from you lovely regular clients all year and you have filled my calendar and I am so incredibly thankful for this🙏

I am now going to be able to take on a handful of new clients looking at my 2024 diary right now, until further notice.
I only have a few boarding spaces at a time so please make sure you book well in advance, I also need to fit in a meet and greet and a possible trial day with new clients when I have availability for this, so I would recommend booking a couple of months ahead at least.

Please note that I am currently unable to take on puppies under the age of 1 and entire males. All other well-socialised friendly dogs are welcome to come for an introduction🐶

Please message me for more information and I will email you over my Ts&Cs.

And lastly, have an amazing Christmas and enjoy the holidays, I can’t wait to see all my dogbuddies in 2024 again🤩
And don’t forget to follow us on Instagram: ❣️

Thank you for reading!

Hey everyone🙋‍♀️

• Before every booking (direct or Rover) clients will be sent my short version of Terms and Conditions from now on, highlighting the most important bits, as well as a payment and pick up/drop off reminder.

• For this reason I will need everyone to please confirm drop off and pick up times at least 5 days before the booking starts.

• Please note that my nightly rate runs until 12pm every day so if pick up is after noon it starts a new day (see Ts&Cs for additional rates).

• On the Ts&Cs reminder you will also be able to read about my price changes.

• Payments to be made before you collect your dog please!

• Clients will need to provide me with screenshot of vaccination records and proof of worming/flea treatments (or proof of wormcount alternatively)

• Another important highlight I added to the Ts&Cs to please not forget: handovers to not run longer then a very maximum of 5 minutes in consideration of the other dogs in my care.

• I am taking bookings for 2023 and for that I can take on a limited number of new clients now.
However I can’t accomodate puppies under the age of 1.
My diary is still full until the end of October except 2 boarding spaces for 17th-30th September. So new clients only to book for next year please. Thank you!

Thank you for reading, you know where to find me with any questions🥰

Hi everyone,

IMPORTANT BOOKING INFORMATION

♦️Due to the high number of boarding bookings and some confusion around new clients enquiring, I have decided to make out a post about wheather I take new dogs or not.

♦️At the moment my boarding diary is full until the 5th March and my meet and greet diary is full until the 15th March.

This means that now all new clients’ enquiries get the same reply when they message me: that I can set up a date for an introduction meeting but I CANNOT hold the space for anyone until the meeting happens.
❗️This is purely because my regulars always have and always will enjoy priority❗️This is how it is just right.

So if when someone is waiting for their meet and greet appointment and I get a booking from a regular I will give the space to the regular automatically - IF (big if) the mixture of the dogs will be convenient this way!!

♦️ So if anyone gets confused why I won’t keep the space for someone who possibly has their meet and greet scheduled in a month and a half time, this is why, thank you for understanding.
I do say in all my messages to new clients that you all have the option to book with someone else, and I want to be honest and transparent with everyone to not cause any disappointment.

♦️ I want to also make sure you all know that I am carefully monitoring how many new clients I can take and I will put a stop to it when I feel like I can’t take on more.

So🙂➡️

♦️♦️♦️I do take on new clients BUT it’s very limited at the moment who I can accomodate and it is subject to availability and a successful meet&greet/trial day!

If anything at all needs further clarification for anyone, please message me! Useful info are also up on our instagram in our Highlights as per my FAQ questions- new ones every day.

Happy Monday!

Hi all🙋‍♀️

A few very important piece of information for everyone looking to book with me or having an existing reservation already.

🔸February is completely booked up for boarding! If you have a last minute request though, please send it to me and I can put you on my waitinglist.
❗️I also cannot book in any more Meet&Greets for February as all the available slots that I could allocate for these visits are now booked up-again, if any cancellations I can always bring meetings ahead.

🔸 March is full between 19th-31st and has limited spaces throughout the whole month both for boarding and meet and greets.

🔸April, May, June and July all have limited spaces available.

❗️ Due to the many bookings I currently cannot always accomodate puppies under the age of one! They require constant attention and I sometimes won’t book them in if I feel they would keep me from taking proper care of other dogs. So this is subject to a meet&greet and trial day(s) prior to a booking.

❗️ Until a Meet&Greet is done I cannot confirm bookings and I also can’t hold spaces for anybody. This unfortunately also means that if you have a meet and greet scheduled but the space gets booked in for your requested dates I can no longer accept your booking.

I do my absolute best to try and meet up asap with everybody who has an approaching holiday and it’s urgent to finalise petcare, but I can only do this without causing disruption for my boarded dogs with the frequent coming and going in my house.

❗️And so my next point is: please please be aware that I cannot have any meet and greets running longer then an absolute maximum of 20mins!! My boarded dogs are separated in a different room for the length of a M&G and it’s essential they don’t spend too much time alone. If I let you know it’s time to wrap it up please don’t think I am being unwelcoming, I really hope everybody understands this💞 I do send out a reminder form before every M&G to bring attention to this, it is super important for me/us.

❗️ I am not going to collect deposits for bookings except for boarding longer then 2 weeks.

I am however charging a cancellation fee, and by signing your boarding contract you do agree with this fee and everything that my Terms and Condition states, so please be aware🙂

Paperwork doesn’t need to be brought for your M&G(although I thank for my very diligent clients for doing this so🥰) You can bring it with you for when the booking starts or emailing it over.

❤️ Our instagram will soon run a Frequently Asked Questions session daily, this might be of help for many of you so please do join us there. I will save these stories in my Highlights so everyone can look back on them(if I manage to find how to do this😅)


❤️Please bare with me while I try to keep up with messages, on 5 different platform it is not easy- my preferred way of contact is Whatsapp so don’t be shy adding me☺️

❤️ And lastly, this high demand for sitters that I’ve never seen before is due to all the ‘lockdown puppies’ and dogsitters sadly falling out of business at the same time. I so understand the frustration and I WISH I could accomodate everyone but I only have 4 spaces!!

However if you’d like some help looking for someone, join Dog owners in Milton Keynes here on Fb, and look back on old posts, there will be millions of recommendations! Make sure you check for licence of boarding and insurance along with many other things.

Thank you all I will stop babbling now🤫
Have a great evening!

Hey all,

Hope everyone is doing well and getting ready for the holidays🎅🏻
Due to some last minute cancellations please get in touch if you have dates in mind for December and let’s see if I can help.

I have sent out some reminders for everyone who has a booking with me for the Christmas period to make sure everyone is aware of the cancellation policy. If you need another copy of my Ts&Cs please let me know and I can forward that too.

January and February is getting fully booked up so if you would like to make a booking message me as soon as you can please. Keep in mind that if you are a new client we will also need to fit in a Meet and Greet visit before any booking can be accepted.

For 2022 I need all bookings as soon as possible to come in to avoid any disappointment, my calendar already has bookings for each months and it’s not long until everything gets booked up as I only have limited spaces.

From now on I will also be sending out Reminders before Introduction meetings and before each booking starts- I do have a feeling not all my clients always read through my Ts&Cs thoroughly😬😲 So it will hopefully be helpful for you to get a reminder on the most important info.

And finally, from 2022 I don’t continue walking and daycare but solely will be focusing on Dogboarding. Now that it is so busy it needs to be my main priority and to have my whole attention.

If anyone has any questions please let me know, I am available on Messenger, Rover, text/call or you can add me on Whatsapp(my favourite😁)

Have a lovely December everybody♥️

Please be careful what you gift your dogs for Christmas🎁

Please be careful what you gift your dogs for Christmas🎁

❌ PLEASE LEAVE THEM IN THE SHOPS ❌

The vast majority of these rawhide products and treats come from China.

Their journey starts with the hides being soaked in a toxic sodium sulphide to remove the hair and fat. More chemicals are used in order to split the hide into layers which is then washed with hydrogen peroxide to give the white "pure" look and remove the rancid smell.
Now comes the pretty festive colours and the glue to form cute shapes.

They regularly cause intestinal blockages and choking. The chews go slippery when wet and are near impossible to get hold of to save a choking dog.

Please be safe with your dogs!

BOOKING INFO🗓

I felt like writing out a post as I am sure not everyone is following our stories and can’t see the latest booking info either.

▫️So again, September is full now and October too. I won’t be taking anymore boarders or daycare as I feel like the spaces have been maximalised for the type of dogs that I will have. You can still message me and I can put you on a waiting list in the event of any cancellations.

▫️I’d like to ask everyone who was going to book anything for November to please confirm the bookings asap so I can secure the space for your dog, enquiring about dates doesn’t mean I am booking them in only if I get a final confirmation of the exact dates and after I receive the filled out client form. Thank you for understanding. Same applies to December🙂

▫️I am taking bookings for 2022 but there might be a short wait on confirmations from my end when it comes to summer bookings as I am planning a couple of holidays myself. But please do feel free to send any date requests for next year!

Thank you for reading, have a lovely rainy day🥰☔️

Hello everyone,

I apologise for the long silence, looks like Instagram is working a lot lot better for us and that’s why I don’t often post here🙂 But yes we are up and running and I am pleased to be back to being busy and getting bookings in as usual. It’s been a very long break and I missed having a house full of dogs🥰 Lovely to see soo many new faces and even more old ones, I am very excited about all the coming bookings and seeing my doggie friends.

I am still boarding in my own home so I only have 4 spaces at once which I sometimes limit to less depending on the mixture of the dogs. So please send in your booking requests in time to make sure your dog will have a space.
Message me with any questions, I can send out my Ts&Cs that has all the information about my services and you can check weather this environment is something your dog would like🐶. I would like everyone to also come for an introduction meeting before a booking starts please.
No matter the size and age, I cater for all dogs, but they do need to socialise well with the rest of my bunch, probably that’s the only requirement🥰

And keep following our daily stories and posts and my husband’s amazing photographs on Instagram under
Oh and feel free to share this post💕

Thank you for reading❤️
