Every dog is different, so if you did not find your answer here, just write to me. I will gladly tell you more and help you work out whether my format suits your pet.
Should we meet before the first stay?
Yes — whenever it is possible, I always recommend meeting first. It helps to see how comfortable the dog feels in a new place, lets us get to know each other and gives us time to go through all the details of her care calmly.
How many dogs stay with you at once?
No more than two at a time. That way each of them gets enough attention, keeps their routine and stays in a calm home atmosphere. If your dogs are from the same family, I take them together — in that case meeting beforehand is required.
Which dogs can come to stay?
I take dogs of all breeds and sizes. Before booking we will always discuss character, habits and behaviour to make sure my format suits your pet.
Do you take intact male dogs?
Yes, but only after meeting first. Each case is decided individually. If I see that this arrangement would be uncomfortable for my own dog, for other guests or for the dog himself, I may decline the booking. My main task is a safe and calm environment for every dog, so sometimes saying no is responsibility rather than formality.
Do you take females in heat?
No, unfortunately I do not take dogs for boarding while they are in heat.
Can I leave a puppy?
Yes, though it is decided case by case. I need to know the puppy’s age, routine, how socialised he is and what you expect from the stay.
What should we bring?
Usually this is enough: her usual food, a favourite bed or blanket, a favourite toy (if it helps her feel calmer), a lead, harness or collar, and any medication she takes. If anything else is needed, I will tell you in advance.
How often will I get photos and videos?
I send photos and videos regularly throughout the stay. Before she arrives we can agree on a frequency that suits you, so you always know how your pet is doing.
What if my dog has behavioural issues or medical prescriptions?
Please tell me in advance. Knowing everything matters to me — it is what lets me give your dog the most comfortable and safe care. If you are working on socialisation or everyday skills, or keeping a particular routine, I will gladly continue it during the stay.
What happens if my dog needs a vet?
If I notice any change in how she feels, or an emergency happens, I will contact you immediately. If urgent veterinary care is needed, I will take her to your clinic without delay (or to the nearest one if the situation requires immediate attention) and tell you everything about the circumstances and next steps. Your pet’s safety and health always come first for me.
What happens after the stay ends?
Once your dog is home you will get a detailed report. I will tell you how she settled in, what she particularly enjoyed, which habits and traits I noticed, and share observations that will help you understand your dog better.
Can you board our dog at our home?
Yes, in some cases this is possible. It is discussed individually and depends on the location, the length of the stay and your dog’s needs.
What if our plans change?
Please let me know as early as you can. We will talk it through and find the most convenient solution.
How do I book dates?
Get in touch any way that suits you. We will discuss the details, meet if this is the first stay, and then I will confirm the booking.
If you still have questions, or want to talk about your particular dog, just write to me. I am always glad to meet new tails and help find the right arrangement. 🫂
