Our Background

Motivated by a passion for dachshunds and a deep understanding of the care they need, you can rest assured when they come to Little Sizzlers Hotel, they will be looked after as part of our family. 

I have loved dogs ever since my earliest memory.  In my adult life, I have had the incredible pleasure of owning 3 Labradors, 3 Working Cockers and 2 miniature Dachshunds.  I have over 20 years of experience caring for many different breeds of dogs and now, I'm lucky enough to be a full-time Dog-Mother. 

I have first-hand experience of IVDD with Nellie my miniature Sausage, who was 3 years old when she burst 2 discs in her spine.  She was graded 3/4 and had 4 discs fenestrated as a result.  So, with all the daily physio and aftercare at home that Nellie needed to get her back on her feet, I have a thorough knowledge and understanding of the care little Sausages need in their recovery and also their everyday life.  That was 9 years ago. She's 12 years old now and I still have to watch her carefully as she will still try to jump off furniture given half a chance!  

​​

I moved to my present home with my 5 dogs at the time:- two Labradors Harvey & Poppy, two Working Cockers Max & Rosie, and my miniature dachshund Nellie.  Over time I have sadly lost Rosie, Poppy and Harvey to Rainbow Bridge.  But along the way, I also adopted little Dave, a tiny miniature Sausage, who needed a new home.  He and Nellie bonded instantly.  

Watching my two little Sausages playing together one day, seeing them have such fun together, gave me the inspiration to open my doors to welcome more little Sausages to come and stay with us!  

​​And so...

Little Sizzlers Hotel was born!
