About us and our ‘family’
Introductions - we are Dannielle and Rob Carruthers, we are responsible owners of 5 dogs, a guinea pig and rabbit and have extensive knowledge in the care of a variety of pets and live in Wolverton.
Having a passion for pets is what has directed us to provide this service for you. We have only ever entrusted our parents to care for our dogs and only then for a day and no more. We would never consider placing them in boarding kennels; they share every minute of our every day lives, including holidays. We only ever holiday in the UK and are restricted with locations due to the amount of dogs we take.
The breeds of dogs we have are a challenge in themselves with varying degrees of management required:
Fenwick – she is a 10 year old Bearded Collie – lots of work involved in caring for her coat to keep it tangle free.
Bobby – 8 year old Bearded Collie X Border Collie – a sensitive man who loves his mum. Bobby suffers from separation anxiety which we manage through on-going training and reassurance.
Oscar – 5 year old Italian Spinone, rare in the U.K. – a handsome gentle giant of a dog.
Chloe – 12 year old ex-racing Greyhound. A beautiful white lady with freckled ears, a bit wobbly on her feet due to corns and stiffness in her legs.
And finally….
Basil – the baby of our dog family. 2 year old broken coated Parson Russell Terrier – a true terrier with bags of attitude, he was sold to us as a ‘long-life battery’ he certainly is that, fully of energy and fun.
Geri – our black and ginger guinea pig who resides in a custom made dormer bungalow in the heart of our home
Grace – a deceivingly beautiful rabbit hiding plenty of attitude.
Our ‘family’ should demonstrate that we love a challenge and are very capable, we are experienced in handling animals of all ages with ‘issues’. We understand what it is like to return from a trip to find that your dog has destroyed your furniture through boredom or anxiety, let us help you.
