Your dog will be welcomed to my home for up to 10hrs of daycare a day (between 8am and 6pm) from just £33.00.
Drop off time is requested between 8am & 8.45am (this can be subject to change in hot summer months) and collections between 4pm & 6pm. Earlier/later times can be arranged at an additional cost of £3.00 per hour/part hour per dog.
Our Day:
Shortly after your dog arrives (or a collection may be arranged at around 9-9.30am), he/she will join up to 5 other doggy friends for a fabulous and controlled walk (50-60mins unless exercise restrictions apply) in some of the most beautiful areas locally. Locations are varied to add much more mental stimulation for your dog. (Please note: I ask that all dogs joining my services have a good recall in order to keep them nearby and safe when we are out walking).
After their long, stimulating walk they will come back to my very dog friendly cottage in Farnham and given the all important time to rest and relax in real comfort whilst I undergo my second walk. This will give your dogs some necessary time alone to help bring their hormone levels down following their exercise. Time to ‘chill’ is really important for dogs, especially when in a multi-dog household, between walks and any mind games offered, I aim for a really calm and peaceful environment for the dogs that I care for.

In the afternoons dog will enjoy the company of myself and a few other well behaved dogs in my home. Depending on the breed and health of your dog they can either have another shorter afternoon walk, some mental enrichment games, dog play time, a bit of grooming and fuss, or just left alone to have a relaxing sleep, often accompanied by the wonderful smell of my Dog Sanctuary Candle! Your dog(s) will also have constant access to my beautiful and safe garden which has a mixture of barked, shingle or paved areas, and floral boarders – so options for many preferences!
I aim for a quiet, relaxed home environment and believe it is in the dog’s best interest to feel calm and rested in the home. Any dogs unable to join the hour group walk (ie due to health restrictions) can be offered alternative enrichment to stimulate their senses without too much excitement or physical exertion.
Daycare collections are between 4pm & 6pm (after which time an additional charge of £3.00 per hour/ part hour will be added). Latest collection time is 9.30pm after which requires an overnight stay to avoid disturbing other dogs who are settling down for the night.
For this service your dog will be collected from your home late morning (if local to Farnham) to join a fun but controlled 50-60min group walk (unless exercise restrictions apply) followed by the benefits of my PM care (see below)
This services is usually from 2.30pm and is best suited to dogs that only require some company and/or mental enrichment games during the afternoon. This can include the older dogs or dogs that struggle more physically for any reason. Please note dog’s can be separated to my lovely ‘dog room’ to give them time and space alone if and when needed.
Dogs for PM care only can either be collected by Zena from their home (if local to Farnham) at around 1.30–2pm, or dropped off to my home from 2.30pm. Dogs must be collected by the owner at the end of the day between 4 & 6pm (see below for usual timings/additional costs).
Like daycare dogs, I prefer the dogs to be familiar with me. This familiarity helps them settle and relax, which also benefits the other dogs at home.
When boarding, your dog will stay with us in our charming child-free cottage in Farnham. They will be joined by our 4 resident dogs and any other boarding or daycare dogs we my have at that time.
During their stay, we will make every effort to keep them happy and content. They may relax wherever suits them, including our own bed if necessary!
Although there will be brief periods of barking when dogs come and go, the times between are aimed to achieve a very calm environment, which is not suited to every dog; therefore, a trial is always requested.
All dogs staying with us benefit from daily outdoor group exercise and ample affection. This support aims to keep them happy and relaxed in a home environment. Suitable dogs, with your permission, will be welcome to join us for days out. They may also join us for the odd visit to a cafe or restaurant. We aim to make their holiday as enjoyable as your own!
I am also able to offer additional grooming services to my regular customers at very reasonable rates. These services include clipping, trimming and bathing.
