My husband Andy and I have been providing dog boarding and home care for many years and usually only through recommendations. We have three girls of our own, and the household is just two of us with our helper. Both my husband and I work in the day but the live-in helper is at home 24 hours a day. We are home every evening and take our dogs for a walk each evening. At any point, we can take up to two doggies in for homestay, be it long or short term, or even a weekend. We are usually available for boarding most days unless there is already another dog boarding with us.
We have two small gardens totalling 1600sq ft that are fenced and fully secured where the dogs run free. We have not seen a tick or flea in the last 5yrs+ and would require anyone who boards with us to bathe your dog and then Frontline your dog at least 3-5 days before arriving. We need to protect the space for all the doggies and future home stays.
As our common practice, we do ask that you bring your dog over one evening or weekend to get acquainted with ours. We also need them to get along fine and cannot risk them fighting. When you arrive, you can then advise of any special needs and we can also show you what we feed our dogs, which would be available to yours too.
Doggie who stay overnight with us sleeps in an air conditioned bedroom on a dog bed with thick bedspreads.
For stays longer than 5 days, we will bathe the dog and also take them on a 20-minute walk every day if you are in agreement. Long term boarding is also possible and we can discuss details when we meet.

Ollie had a wonderful day at Jesamine's home!
I asked Jesmine to look after my Samoyed, Shiro for a whole day of doggie day care. She was a delight to work with. Shiro is a high energy 8-month year old puppy and can be challenging. However, she dealt with him well. Jesmine arranged to pick him up in her car and took great care of him during the day. All I had to do was prepare a lunchtime meal (in a bag) and ensure Shiro had his favourites toys to play with. She sent a couple of heart-warming videos of Shiro settling into the house and after lunch doing zoomies on the wide grass patch at her place. I highly recommend Jesmine and look forward to working with her again soon!
