See what some of our lovely doggy parents say
'“ This place is doggy heaven !! my very large and clumsy boy loves it at Stew and Becca’s. He is walked, allowed to run free in the garden and at a secure field. Stew and the kids play with him. There is CCTV, many rooms set up for the doggos with settees and a great outdoor space. Love the fact that my dog is on raw food and they make room for all his food in the freezer and make and prepare it for him. Its an amazing place, they also don’t forget to cuddle the dogs and spend time with them on the sofas and just “hang” with them as a family. It means i go go away and knowthat Chester is being looked after as good as or if not better than at home. I love that they sendyou lots of photos too and updates. Chester also loves the resident dog and all the other dogs that come there too. Its the best dog place EVER ….”
Kate -Chester
'“ Last weekend i left my little boy Loki with Stew and Bec, and to say they were amazing with him and myself was an understatement!. I have never left Loks with anyone really, so to take the step to find someone who would be good with him was nerve-racking. Loks is usually a nervous boy with not just dogs but also people, but after about 10 minutes he was all over Stew and loving life. Stew also put my mind at ease with sending me lots of pictures and videos of what my dog was doing while he was with them. Not only were the great with him, they allowed him to come out of his shell and become a confident little lad who now loves to play and run around.
I would recommend Stew and Bec for anyone who needs a safe and reliable place to send their little fur babies. They are brilliant and i couldn’t be more grateful for the impact they have had on my little guy”
Zelena - Loki
'“ I cant thank you all enough…Osa has a second home now and she definitely had the best time ever! so much so she didn’t want to come home…all the videos and photos was just what i needed when i was away, seeing how happy Osa was made my holiday even more enjoyable..,. got to admit i was jealous as she loved you all so much! I loved how hapy Osa was and it was like home from home for her… Im sorry i had to stay an extra day but you were more than happy to keep her… which was amazxing thank you so much all our love Sarah and Osa xxx ”
Sarah - Osa
'“ My young golden Rikku absolutely LOVES going to stay at Little Buddies. Stew and Becca are lovely and they treat each dog like family. I was nervous leaving Rikku for the first time while we went away but the updates put my mind at ease and the videos showed us she was having the best holiday of her own!. We will continue to use little buddies each time we feel Rikku needs a break for us haha. Thanks for looking after our pup, she cant wait for her next stay x ”
Emiily - Rikku
'“ Highly recommed Little Buddies for those wanting a much better alternative to their dogs staying in kennels whilst they go away. We cant thank Stew and Bec enough for looking after Chester like one of their own. It meant we could finally have a well deserved holiday and made our first time leaving Chester as stress free as possible
Right from the moment we enquired about Chester staying, they were profesional and were nothing but compassionate towards our nerves surrounding leaving him and his tendency to be a nervous boy, which put us at east almost instantaneously
Chster fitted right into the house and the daily updates were a lovely touch, which let us fully relax and enjoy our holiday knowing he was getting all the adventures and cuddles he could ever ask for
Chester already cant wait to stay over again, and to come round for a few days of doggy daycare!”
Daniella - Chester
'“ Rodney has loved his stay with Little Buddies. I was updated daily with pictures of him having lots of fun. I would definitely recommend and will 100% be using Little Buddies again. I know its his second home now.
Thank you Stew and Bec from my first communication you have been so friendly and knowledgeable
Rodney will be back again that’s for sure x”

Trial Sleepover For Longer Stays
If your dog’s stay will be longer than three nights, our licensing requires a trial overnight stay beforehand. This gives your dog a chance to settle in, become familiar with our home, and experience a night away in a calm and caring environment. It also gives you complete peace of mind knowing they’ll be safe, happy and well looked after while your away.
Creating a Safe Haven For Your Pet
We love dogs - but some we can’t accommodate
At Little Buddies, creating a safe happy and peaceful environment our number one priority - for both the dogs in our care and the children in our home While we adore all dogs, there are a few important reasons why were unable to accept certain guests
Reactive Dogs - To ensure a calm and secure setting for everyone, were unable to accept dogs who show signs of reactivity towards people, other dogs or new environments.
Male Unneutered dogs ( over 12 months ) - Male Dogs over 12 months must be neutered to board with us. This helps prevent issues like humping, marking in our home, and dominance, which can cause tension within the pack.
Thank you for your understanding, its all about keeping tails wagging and everyone safe !
So what do i need to bring ?
We like to keep things as simple and stress-free as possible when it comes to dropping off your beloved pup with us! All you need to bring is enough food for their stay (plus an extra days worth, just in case of a delayed flight etc ), their lead and harness, and any medication they might need.
You're more than welcome to bring your dog’s bed if it helps them feel more at home, though its not essential- we have plenty of cozy beds here. No need to pack any toys either - your dog will be spoilt for choice with our huge collection ! and don’t worry about food bowls- we’ve got plenty of those too!
