Yes, that would be ideal. You need to know Oakfields is right for your dog. We want to make sure we can meet your dogs needs and that they have met us before, should you book. Please get in touch to arrange this.
We will agree a specific drop off and collection time with you when you book.
This will be within the following windows,
Like you we want your dog to have the best time possible when it is with us. We like to give dogs some structure to their day (please see our typical day page) and minimise disruption to them. Often there will be more than one customer collecting and dropping off each day. As such we need to agree a time that is best for you to come.
We like your dog to have settled into its new surroundings before its first night. By having a day with us first, going for a couple of walks, some play, being fed and getting to know us; we find they are happier and more relaxed come bedtime.
Being away from you is a big thing for them.
Even those dogs that come regularly benefit from this. Whilst they are familiar with us and our home often there will be a new mix of dogs they need to get to know.
This is about keeping your dog and all the others in our care safe and secure.
We all know how excitable many dogs can get when a visitor arrives. We need to manage this as even though your dog will be keen to see you others may react differently.
When you arrive we will be looking out for you. If we are not apparent please give us a call and we will come out to welcome you.
We will send you our terms and conditions on request. They form the basis of any agreement we make to care for your dog. If you decide to visit we can talk them through.
In summary we will,
We ask that,
Certainly - You can contact us at any reasonable hour. We will happily send you regular updates anyway if you like.
Some people now have electronic monitoring devices on their dogs such as 'apple tags.' We have no objections in principle on the basis that any such devices are disclosed at the time of booking. Your dog will be staying in a private home and we feel it is fair we should understand what they are bringing into it and what the device does.
Our priorities are to keep your dog safe, provide them with comfort and let them enjoy themselves.
We are surrounded by the High Peak countryside and can walk for miles encountering very little traffic or other people. This can be from both our home and following short drives. They will get at least two walks of 30 minutes per day. Subject to the weather they will have ongoing access to our large secure garden. There are plenty of opportunities for a 'sniffathon' as we call them. We also have a dog pushchair for older or less able dogs to enjoy the experience.
They can sleep where they want to sleep, each dog has its own allocated room or they can stay together. We are sorry but we cannot accommodate requests for dogs to sleep in our bed or room.
See out 'typical day' section.
Our primary service is to board dogs. We aim is provide a peaceful, fun and enjoyable stay for your dog. As such we want to minimise disruption through changeovers. There may be times we can assist existing customers where the dog has stayed with us before on an occasional basis.
