About us...
Hi, I'm Annie, and caring for dogs isn't just my job - it's something I genuinely love and feel incredibly lucky to do every day. I run my dog boarding service from our family home, shared with my other half Neil, our Daughter and our three wonderful sighthounds, so dogs are truly part of our daily life. I have a lifelong passion for animals, and nothing makes me happier than welcoming new dogs into our home, getting to know their personalities, and making sure they feel safe, relaxed and loved while their owners are away. Every dog is treated as one of the family, with plenty of affection, understanding and care.
Meet our Resident Dogs...
Yes, your dog will have some friendly companions during their stay.
We share our home with three wonderful dogs of our own.
We are licensed to care for additional dogs beyond our own, though we typically board just one guest dog at a time to ensure a calm and personalised experience. During peak times, however, your dog may have an additional playmate or two to enjoy their holiday with!
'Sophie'
First, there's Sophie, our gentle 2 year old Irish Wolfhound - affectionately known as the gentle giant. She's calm, affectionate, and treats all of our canine guests with kindness and patience.
'Little Evie'
Then we have little Evie, our 4 year old whippet who adores her naps! After her morning walk, you will usually find her curled up under a blanket until it's time for dinner!
'Bella'
Lastly, there's Bella, our elegant 9 year old whippet. She is graceful and composed, taking everything in her stride and adapts easily to whatever the day brings.
Personalised Care
At Sophie’s Staycation, we believe every dog is unique and deserves care that suits their individual needs. From feeding routines and walk preferences to playtime, rest, and cuddles, we tailor each stay to your dog’s personality and comfort. With small group, in-home care, we’re able to give every guest the attention they need to feel safe, happy, and truly at home—because no two dogs are the same, and their care shouldn’t be either.
Family Environment
Dogs aren’t just guests at Sophie's Staycation —they’re part of the family. Our home environment is relaxed, loving, and full of care, where every dog can feel comfortable and at ease. With plenty of attention, playtime, and cuddles, your pup becomes part of our daily routine, enjoying the warmth and companionship of a true family setting. It’s a home-away-from-home where dogs feel safe, happy, and loved.
Experienced Team
Your dog is in the hands of someone with real experience in caring for dogs of all shapes, sizes, and personalities. With years of hands-on knowledge, plus a Level 3 qualification in Dog Home Boarding, we understand canine behaviour, routines, and needs inside and out. This experience means we can provide calm, confident care, handle any situation with ease, and make sure every dog feels happy, safe, and truly at home.
Safe & Comfortable
Comfort comes first. Our home is a calm, cozy space where dogs can relax, rest, and feel completely at ease. With soft bedding, safe spaces, and plenty of attention, every dog enjoys a stress-free stay in a warm, welcoming environment. We make sure your pup feels safe, cared for, and truly at home — because a comfortable dog is a happy dog.
