Life at Doggums

The Doggums way

Doggums is intentionally small and selective. A limited number of dogs share everyday household life in a calm, familiar setting, with routines, compatibility, and welfare at the centre of everything. Days follow a gentle rhythm of outdoor time, shared activity, and rest.

A small group keeps the home calm and routines settled.
Dogs are introduced carefully, with temperament and compatibility in mind.
Handling is calm, familiar, and consistent with a shared home.
Comfortable spaces and routines similar to home life.
Members may receive occasional updates and photos.

Walks & friends

Dogs enjoy regular outings as part of everyday life, exploring a mix of fields, parks, woodland, and local areas.

Time outdoors is relaxed and varied, with plenty of opportunity to sniff, move, and enjoy being out together, muddy paws very much included.

Days out

When we talk about dogs being part of everyday life, we mean just that.

Time is spent out and about as part of normal family routine, from beaches and woodland to country parks, local areas, and familiar, dog-friendly places, always as part of shared household life.

Total relaxation

After a full day of shared activity, dogs naturally settle into quiet downtime, often choosing a favourite chair or cosy spot to relax.

These calm moments are part of everyday household life, when dogs are comfortable, settled, and at ease.

Trusted by local dog owners

We’re proud to be trusted by dog owners who value home-from-home care, where their dogs can make new friends and have lots of fun. A few words from owners whose dogs have stayed with us

“Bramble had a brilliant time with Laura and I really appreciated the photos of him having fun while we were away.”

Bramble – Spaniel (4yrs with Doggums)

“Laura has been looking after our boy for a few years now. She’s so fantastic, is so flexible around us and gives us updates all day. Snickers has the best time with the other dogs and is always so worn out when he’s home. Highly recommended!”

Snickers – Labrador (2yrs with Doggums)

“Alan always has a fabulous stay at Doggums. He gets plenty of fresh air, time with dog friends, and lots of love and attention. We have complete peace of mind knowing he’s safe, happy, and truly cared for — and we love the regular photo updates.”

Alan – Welsh Terrier (4yrs with Doggums)

“Laura has been an absolute life saver for us! Sunflower loves her so much and we know that she is not only getting a great walk but lots of love and cuddles. Sunflower recently enjoyed a wonderful week being looked after by Laura and her family, she’s never been to so many places and was truly spoilt. Highly recommend. Thanks again for everything you do to support us.”

Sunflower – Golden (3yrs with Doggums)

“Billy has been going to Laura for a few years now and is treated like one of her family. He has some special requirements with food and medication and this has been no problem, which we really appreciate. Laura has taken all Billy’s quirks and worked with them so he has a great stay. He loves to go there and has a great time, we feel relaxed going away knowing he is being extremely well cared for “

Billy – Staff x Collie (3yrs with Doggums)

“Luna goes to Laura and Grays regularly and she always has the best time. I never need to worry as she’s in wonderful hands and gets lots of exercise and attention. Being a bouncy 2 year old pup it’s so great to hear about how she is when out and about and I get regular updates and photos of her adventures. She’s so comfortable staying overnight and both Laura and Gray really go the extra mile to work around dropoff and pickup times.
I couldn’t ask for a better place to take care of Luna whilst I’m away.”

Luna Labrador (4 yrs with Doggums)
