Happy dog looking at camera

Hi, I'm Sarah.

I grew up with spaniels, spent my twenties fostering rescue dogs, and eventually admitted this was my actual job.

Paws & Play is just me, my home, and a big garden. I take three dogs at most because anything more isn't fair on them. Your dog gets walked twice a day, fed whatever you bring, and sleeps wherever they fancy.

I send photos so you're not worrying. The sofa is popular. Mabel, my Labrador, will show them the ropes.
