How To Register

We're delighted you're considering us for your Dachshund's care.

Prior to a first-time booking, we require a few steps (including a Meet & Greet visit and assessment of your dog's needs) to ensure the best possible care for your dog.

​​

​SHORT NOTICE BOOKINGS

While we'll do our best to accommodate short-notice requests, the following steps do take time, so availability may be limited. We encourage you to contact us as soon as possible to discuss your needs, and we'll do everything we can to help.

​​​

 

Step 1- YOUR ENQUIRY​

  • Please review our Essential Info and T&C's below

​​

​

​​

  • Please then contact us with your enquiry, and we will respond typically by email (please check your spam/junk mail)

  • We are also happy to communicate by phone, Whatsapp, text etc.

  • We will email you our Registration form for your completion and require it emailed back to us with your Dachshund’s up-to-date vaccination record.

 

 

​

Step 2 – MEET & GREET​

  • After we've received your completed paperwork and addressed any questions, we'll arrange an appointment for your Dachshund's complimentary 1 hour Meet & Greet visit here. This is arranged ideally at 11am, on any day of the week including weekends subject to diary availability.

​

  • We will confirm your Meet & Greet appointment by Whatsapp along with directions and a video-tour of our home and gardens to help you get acquainted with our facilities. 

​

  • When you arrive at your appointed time, we will come out to meet you at our gates,   You are welcome to come into our front garden for a few minutes and then we would ask you to leave your Sausage with us for an hour while you either wait in your car, or get a coffee/snack at nearby Hill Farm Caravan Park or Gilberts Nursery tearoom.

​

  • We understand you might like to see our facilities in person. However, to minimize any potential Sausagey excitement or anxiety that unfamiliar visitors may cause in our home, we provide a video house- tour instead of in-person visits. We believe this approach ensures a calm and stress-free environment for all the dogs in our care.

​

  • We will then spend an hour in a relaxed visit with your Sausage which allows us to get to know your dog and observe how they interact with our resident dogs and guest dogs.  We will keep you updated and ask you to return after an hour to collect your dog.

 

 

Step 3 – BUILD UP DAYS / OVERNIGHT TRIAL

 

Daycare

  • Following the Meet & Greet, if we believe your dog will enjoy and benefit from our daycare environment, we can accept them for daycare with immediate effect. ​​

 

Boarding

  • Following the Meet & Greet, if we believe your dog will settle well, we will then arrange for your dog to return for an overnight Trial stay. 

​

  • For dogs who are new to boarding or are shy/anxious, we may recommend a period of build-up days before their overnight Trial stay. This will be discussed with you if necessary.

​

  • We will keep you updated throughout your dog’s build-up days or overnight Trial stay with us.

​

  • If your dog doesn't settle or displays any concerning behaviours, we will ask you to collect them. Please note that Trial stays are non-refundable.  We will be happy to suggest other boarders who may be a better fit for your dog's needs.

​

 

WELCOME TO THE LITTLE SIZZLERS FAMILY!

  • If your dog passes a Trial stay successfully,  we will be delighted to welcome your Sausage into our home.   

  • It's easy for you to book future breaks/holidays by simply contacting us to check availability. 

  • We strongly recommend that your holiday insurance or pet insurance policy covers any loss of boarding fees due to cancellations.
