Have you ever spent time on holiday feeling guilty and worrying about your dog in kennels? If so you are not alone and many now choose home boarding as an alternative. So what does home boarding actually mean? Well in our case it means your dog/s will be living as part of our family in our house, have access to our 3.5 acres and be fully involved in our normal day to day activities. Our other business at the same address is Rosewood Fishery a small public fishing lake with 3 holiday caravans for hire so we 'work' at home and with no children or pets of our own we have plenty of time to devote to your pet. Some of our holiday dogs love having trips out in our van but if you prefer your dog remains 'on site' for the duration of their holiday that is fine with us. There may be occasional periods where your dog is left at home but never for more than three hours and only after the dog is well settled in. 

If you are considering bringing your dog to us for a holiday we encourage at least one visit beforehand so you can see the environment your pet will be in and also give your dog chance to meet us and us him (or her). We usually only take a maximum of two dogs at any one time and if from different homes both owners would need to agree the arrangement.

We will ask you to complete a form providing us with all relevant information including details of a nominated person (if not you) to contact in the event of an emergency. Throughout your dogs stay they will wear one of our 'holiday tags' on their collar. Dogs are walked on and off our 3.5 acre small holding and most other times will have unrestricted access to our fully fenced garden and paddock area. You are welcome to phone or text any time to check on your dog. To avoid any tummy upsets we recommend your dog remains on his usual food which we are happy to supply.

We are fully insured to transport and home board dogs which includes any necessary veterinary costs. Whilst every care is taken whilst your pet is in our care we are realistic that accidents can happen so it is best to be prepared.

1 dog per day @ £15 for the first three days dropping to £13 for fourth and subsequent days with a weekly rate of £95.
