Most family dogs are “neurotic” and don’t fare well in a kennel environment…
If you are looking for a home-from-home service for your dog, then I can not recommend Gina more highly. Hugely professional and really caring, the dogs live with her in her home (or, in busy times, she outsources to other homes registered through Barking Mad if there is a breed clash or better suitability – she can explain this in person!). However, I can wholeheartedly say that Frank, our black lab, has a wonderful time staying with her and definitely deems this his holiday away from his owners (and many small children!).
She is based just outside Stockbridge and can arrange dog collection and return delivery.
