Your smaller dog ONLY (Cavalier King Charles sized or similar, no large dogs) will be taken into our family, looked after and pampered, even allowed to snuggle on the sofa with us if you allow it! They will be cosseted and loved and taken out with Hershey and her friends every day. Ideal for a dog who really misses it's owners and doesn't do well in kennels or alone in the garden. Also ideal for the older infirm dog who does better under supervision rather than alone. NB Dogs with sight problems are not accepted as there are too many height and water hazards in the garden.

We only take one dog at a time and they must be over 12 months of age, desexed, housetrained, have excellent manners, claws recently clipped, and get on well with other dogs and cats. Dogs will be house tested prior to a booking, both with Hershey and our three cats. Due to very limited spaces please enquire about and book this service early.

We can pick up dogs for Hershey's Home Stay within 5k of postal code 3085, at a $10 each way fee, otherwise please arrange to drop off.

# One day counted as a calendar date. ie drop off on 6th pick up on 10th = 5 days regardless of drop off or pick up times. No parts of days will be considered. Thank you. 

For dogs of roughly Cavalier King Charles/Cocker Spaniel size and smaller only. Large dogs are not eligible for Homestay or Doggy Day Care.

Comments on Homestay:

"I can't thank you enough for looking after my dear pet so beautifully during his recent Homestay with you. I had such a relaxing holiday knowing that he was being cared for with your family and being spoiled as much with you as he is at home! When you said he could sleep with your daughter and be cuddled on the sofa I was sold. You just cannot compare this to a stay in boarding kennels. Now that I have found you I can plan holidays without worrying about my beloved pet being sad and scared in boarding kennels without around the clock attention and so many walks! The only problem was that he didn't want to come home as he had so much fun with you. I'm sure he is looking forward to his next visit, we now refer to you as his 'doggy hotel'!"
