About Us
I am Julianne & I am ably assisted by my husband Nick who works shifts so is often at home to provide extra cuddles for our four legged guests. I have had dogs most of my life, many of them being rescues & I can’t imagine not having them in my life. These include Penny the fluffy crossbreed, Brick the German Shepherd and police dog reject who still loved to grab the wrists of passers-by, Poppy the Welsh Springer Spaniel who once ate an entire bag of mini Mars bars, wrappers and all (fortunately to no ill effect) and Tina the German Shepherd who refused to let anyone in the house unless they were wearing an item of clothing with my scent on it! Sadly we recently lost our beloved Dalmatian Lottie aged 14 who had 3 owners before we got her at 15 months old, none of whom could cope with how hyper she was. Apparently she used to leap right over the kitchen table & literally climb the kitchen walls at her last owners. She did become a much more sedate old lady but she was always still a work in progress!
So I know how important it is to have someone trustworthy & reliable who treats the dog as if they are their own to look after them. I offer a free no obligation meet & greet so please get in touch so we can discuss your needs.
My life has not just been full with dogs but with many other pets too. We had a rescued cat called Garfield who was missing one of his fangs & his tail due to a car accident & who once came home with a neighbour’s koi carp still flapping in his mouth. We had a rabbit called Lucy who was pregnant when we got her (unbeknown to us) so we were rather shocked to discover 12 babies one morning. We had a budgie called Bluie who used to say nite nite to himself and we have also had several guinea pigs.
We have recently taken on beautiful Poppy due to very sad circumstances. She is an elderly girl with lots of health conditions but a gorgeous soul. We will never be able to replace her mummy but we will love and cherish her very much.
