Jan-April full, limited space in May & June, Full July & Aug, Sept & Oct limited space. Nov & Dec are OK atm. Daycare spaces may still be available if boarding is full, as I have to work out numbers to make sure I'm not over licensed allowance.
Have a fab weekend. 😊

My favourite old boy has had a rough few nights with all the stupidly loud fireworks. So he's in his fave spot with a little blanket on him all snuggled up bless him.
Sending big comfort hugs to all my crew who has been scared and stressed 😪

Good morning.
So my usual get up time is 4-5am. Obviously most doggos get the hump at this and go back to sleep on the sofa 😂 so I use this time to do my admin ( whilst I know they are too tired to get up to mischief lol) I do apologise if any of my messages ever wake anyone. I like my full attention on the dogs, then I have to do a clean down once daycare dogs have gone, this is time consuming as all bowls, toys ect need to be cleaned too, so stupid o'clock A.M. is the only time I can utilise 🙈 again I'm sorry if I wake you, I know normal people like to sleep 😂

I know I say this all the time, but my doggos are just gorgeous 😍 being just a small daily crew of regular/returning boarding or daycare, means I get to know your dogs as well as you do , we form such a bond and that's what is so great about it. When they are here, I feel like they are my dogs haha, and I love, care and protect them as if they were mine. I will never get board to see how excited they get when they arrive, even if I've seen them every day that week. Opening the door to greet them truly makes me smile. I'm a very lucky gal. This isn't just a job for me, and as hard as some days/nights are ( and trust me we have them, this is definitely not 'easy money ' as some like to say) I truly would not change it.
So thank you to all my wonderful clients for letting us be apart of your four legged kids lives and putting your trust in us both. ❤️

After a few swear words, a sweat on thinking id lost alot of things, glad to say new phone up and running and so far so good 👍
Pic just for cuteness 😍

Morning all. I should hopefully be getting a new phone delivered today. I've backed everything up ( I think) so should be a smooth swap 🫰 but if messages are not replied to or not sending its hopefully just due to it transferring all my stuff 😊
Have a super Sunday.

Wet and windy but our doggos are snug and warm. Wind unsettled them last night so we both camped out downstairs so we could be with them all and they weren't scared ❤️ it's all about the doggos folks. Our priority is to make them feel safe and loved, if that takes a living room camp out then so be it 🤣

Good morning you lovely lot.
So I was asked by an owner recently what device was on their dog in a picture. So just thought I'd clarify incase others wonder too.
These are my pitpat GPS trackers, they go on every dog whilst we are out walking. Obviously we don't want to think of them running of, but we all know these things happen, even with the owners. It's not negotiable about me putting these on. If the worst was to happen I want the best possibility of finding them as fast as I can.
These are not anti barking devices, we do not advocate for anything like that here ( abit of a controversial topic I know, but I have my views and these will not change as its a topic i feel strongly about, so this is not a debate post)
So please rest assure the devices I use are for the safety of your dog only ❤️

I'm now on leave. Any messages will be answered on Mon/tue on my return to work xx

Doggo delight ❤️ my crew are so gorgeous 😍

Last bit of sun. If you know you know 🤣🤣

Owww look what's arrived on The Pet Palace's birthday. Happy birthday to meeeee.

It's our 3rd birthday today.
3 years ago I made the decision to completely change my career, not knowing if it would work or not. I knew I had alot of hard work ahead if I wanted to offer the best care I could, so I began lots of training courses, read books, did alot of research so I had more understanding into things I've never had to deal with before.
The first few months were tough I had a few dogs that made me question my choices and doubt my decision, I loved dogs but was this the right path for me? Thankfully I don't give up easy.
Fast forward 3 years, I'm now 5* licensed, I'm still doing courses each year increasing my knowledge, I still have regulars I had in the beginning, I'm super busy all the time, I have waiting lists, that's right people are actually prepared to wait months to be able for little old me to care for their dogs. People arrange their hoidays around my availability. Honestly it still amazes me. I am so humbled and forever grateful for everyone. All of my amazing Clients, thank you for trusting me and your continuous support. All who share my posts and tag me, thank you, you all help me enormously in getting new Clients ( keep it up 😊) my gorgeous doggo crew for keeping me on my toes, loving me as much as I love them ❤️ and of course Paul, without his support I wouldn't get through some days, but the fact he also loves the crew and some love him more than me 🤣 warms my heart.
It makes me laugh when folk say this job is easy money, it most definitely isn't, it's one of the most challenging, unpredictable, hardest jobs I've ever had at times But also the most rewarding. And I still love it.
Thank you all ❤️
Ps sorry for the Oscar award winning like speech 🤣🤣

Rawcliffe Raiders football kit printed and delivered ❤️ And Paul & I have our very own 😊 pictures don't do them justice, they look fantastic. Ready to bring the lads extra luck for the new season.

Do not be fooled by the cuteness.
Trying to clean his teeth is like trying to rugby tackle a great white shark with a teeny tiny toothbrush. He clamps down like he has lockjaw 🤣🤣🤣 I won't be beaten my boy 💪🦈

Well what a busy time we've had. I've had a sickness bug too so the tables turned and my gorgeous dogs looked after me ❤️
So happy to see my crew again, I really miss them when I'm away.
We had 2 boys on holiday with the same name so that was confusing lol thankfully one answers to Sausage an the other thought his name was curly F lol
It was curly Fs first holiday with us, we have build up daycare days to get him used to everything, and what a great boy he was, he loved being here as much as we loved having him.
Crazy spaniel day/night today....wish me luck 🤣🤣
