Meet the TED Team

CEO - Chief Ear-Scratcher Officer 

 

The official C.E.O. (Chief Ear-scratcher Officer) and the true inspiration behind our boarding family! 🐾

​

As CEO of the house, 4 year old Ted takes his executive duties very seriously—which mostly involves scouting out the sunniest nap spots, testing the durability of every squeaky toy, and ensuring no guest arrives without a friendly tail-wag welcome. He’s the reason I started this journey, and he makes sure every four-legged visitor feels right at home.

Heart breaker, perfecter of the puppy eyes, head navigator on walks and record breaker in napping – Ted has earnt his title of being the heart of our family and our very own little Macedonian rescue pup.

Owner of “TED’s Home Stay”

​

I have owned dogs all my life, from our muddy puddle loving gentle boy Monty the golden Retriever, to the ball chasing turbo charged Dexter the working spaniel and our gentle soul sensitive boy Dillon the Show Cocker spaniel.  All so unique in personalities but completely loved until their final days. 

I work in the local community for the NHS four days a week, 1 of these days is fully home based. I’m fortunate to have a flexible working arrangement that allows for a mix of home-based work and patient visits. Because I’m frequently in and out, my dogs are never left alone for more than three hours at a time.

In my free time, nothing beats being outside, and my go-to uniform is always a pair of walking boots, leggings, and a waterproof coat with pockets full of dog treats!

Dog Lover 

 

​You’ll often see 15 year old Daisy helping out behind the scenes! Just like her mum, she is a massive dog lover and is rarely seen without a furry friend by her side. Whether she’s taking a break from her GCSE studies or joining us on our daily dog walks, her kind, caring, and sensible nature makes her a wonderful extra pair of hands. She’s incredibly conscientious in everything she does, ensuring every guest feels right at home.”​

Master Trick Teacher 

​

Meet 11 year old Eva.  The heart and soul of our doggy home! She has a wonderful, gentle nature and a genuine passion for animal care that mirrors the ethos of TED's Home Stay.  She’s our official "Master Trick-Teacher", always finding new ways to keep our guests entertained.  She’s a fan of the great outdoors and is always the first to volunteer for a walk but when shes not enjoying the fresh air she has earned the title of ‘best cuddler’ providing the kind of expert-level cuddles that only a child can give, she ensures every dog feels loved.  Just a fair warning to our furry guests: she’s also a bit of a sneaky snack eater, so they might get to share a few extra treats with her!
