Scarlett 🌙 Home Boarding

"It was our dog (Scarlett)’s first time staying overnight with someone else since we rescued her. We’re so pleased we found Katie and Osbert! Scarlett can be a little anxious around new people but they clearly know how to read dogs and put her at ease with such patience and skill. They took her on lots of walks, treated her to a café trip, and kept her well fed with her favourite snacks. The updates they sent throughout were reassuring and it was clear they genuinely enjoyed having her. We’d highly recommend them and will definitely be booking again! We already have Scarlett booked for a longer trip too."

🌙 Home Boarding

"We couldn’t be happier or more grateful for the incredible care Yuk Kee N. and her partner provided for Chaber. For an entire week, we didn’t have a single worry, which is a rare feeling when leaving an elderly dog behind. They truly created a safe, warm, and loving space for him. Since Chaber has some hearing loss and arthritis, we were so touched by how seriously they took his specific needs. They were incredibly professional from the start—asking about his smallest habits and safety precautions—which immediately put my mind at ease before our trip. The daily updates and photo stories were the highlight of our days! It was so clear that Chaber wasn’t just being "watched"—it looked like he was on his own little vacation. To top it all off, after a very long and draining journey back, having their pet taxi ready for us was a total lifesaver. Chaber settled back in at home as if we had never even been away, which speaks volumes about how happy and comfortable he was with them. We will definitely be asking for their help again. Thank you both for treating Chaber like family!"

Chaber's owner, Aleksandra B. · Mar 2026

"Katie, Osbert and Tong-tong took such good care of Paddy. From the first message, they communicated professionally and quickly and were really helpful and thorough with prep for the visit, even setting up a WhatsApp chat for his holiday. While Paddy was on his holiday, they sent lots of lovely pictures and stayed in touch with regular updates. I felt so comfortable leaving him in their care and will definitely book Pad in for another holiday with them. Paddy was calm and happy when I collected him, and clearly relaxed in their home 💕🙏"

"We recently went on holiday to Turkey for a week and had the absolute pleasure of leaving our dog, Olly, in the care of these brilliant dog sitters. We were initially quite worried about how Olly would cope - he'd never been away from us before and absolutely hates kennels. But as it turned out, we needn't have worried at all. Olly was expertly cared for by genuine dog lovers who clearly made him feel at home. They sent us daily updates and photos. which really helped put our minds at ease while we were away. It was clear from the pictures and messages that he was not just being looked after, but truly enjoying himself. When we came home, Ollie was happy, relaxed, and it was obvious he'd had just as good a holiday as we did. We couldn't be happier with the care and love he received, and we wouldn't hesitate to book again. Highly recommended!"

"Absolutely brilliant. Katie and Osbert looked after our 5yo Cockapoo, Monty, for a considerable amount of time whilst we were in Thailand. During the 10 days he boarded, Monty was extremely well looked after (better than I could have ever asked for!), loved like he was their own, walked and played with consistently. The daily pictures gave us peace of mind and were fabulously creative, including play and rest time. When picking him up Monty was clean, calm and very very well looked after! They even cleaned his ears and gave him a Christmas collar which was incredibly thoughtful and cute. He got on very well with their lovely, calm and welcoming dog Tong Tong. I absolutely absolutely wouldn't hesitate to recommend at all and will certainly be foing to Katie and Osbert again. Thank you"

"During this visit Nessie peed on Katie and her partner's carpet a few times and they were really lovely in how they dealt with it, putting pee pads in their home and talking to me directly about it. I was super aplogetic and wasn't sure why Nessie would do this as she doesn't usually at home or in other people's homes, we thought it might be due to being in a home with another dog present. Katie had a really positive attitude and this did not deter her from having Nessie again - and the next time Nessie stayed she was absolutely fine and didn't pee in the house. I really appreciate that Katie and her partner were understanding and helped me find a solution by recommending me to get the pee pads for next time. Overall Katie is always very communicative, sending lots of updates and letting me know if anything arises. You can be sure that Katie and her partner will take great care of your dog : )"

🐾 Our dog at home

Meet Tong Tong

Tong Tong is our dog — and a very important member of our family at THE CUDDLY LANE. Every dog that comes into our home gets to meet Tong Tong, who helps set the tone: calm, friendly, and at ease.

She's a mixed Taiwan breed — the last dog we fostered before we moved from Taiwan to Bristol. She loves greeting other dogs but calms down quickly, which makes her the perfect gentle companion for nervous guests.

Having our own dog means we truly understand what it's like to leave someone you love in someone else's care. It's why we treat every guest dog the same way we'd want Tong Tong to be treated — with patience, genuine affection, and 120% attention to their wellbeing.

Hi — we're Katie & Osbert

We run THE CUDDLY LANE from our real home in Bristol BS5. Dogs don't come into a facility — they come into our living room, our garden, and our daily lives.

Our experience fostering stray dogs in Taiwan — working with dogs who were fearful, under-socialised, and had never known a proper home — is something many of our clients say is why they chose us. It's given us a level of patience and understanding that's hard to learn any other way.

We speak English, Cantonese and Mandarin, and we'll always get back to you personally on WhatsApp. No bots, no call centres — just us.
