Our miniature poodle, Dudley has been visiting and staying with Steffie for 2 years. Steffie is professional and kind. She keeps us updated with how Duds is getting on. Duds mixes well with her dogs and cat. We like how she 'interviewed' us before agreeing to take Dudley on. She takes her work very seriously and we trust her with our 'fur baby'. We are so pleased and lucky to have found Steffie in France, it really helps knowing we have a trusted person to leave Dudley with.

It has been such a joy having Dudley to stay over the last two years! He is a wonderful part of the pack, and I love seeing how well he socialises with our other doggies.
Thank you for highlighting my Meet-and-Greet 'interview' process; I take the safety and harmony of my in-home dog boarding very seriously, and it’s so important that every 'fur baby' feels comfortable in my home environment.
I feel very lucky to provide a trusted, cage-free alternative for dog owners here in France, but also visiters from other countries, and look forward to many more visits from 'Duds' in the future!
Such a sweet photo - what a handsome boy he is!

I sent my two Jack Russells, Morris and Jack, to this daycare so they could spend time around other people and, most importantly, socialise with other dogs—and I honestly couldn’t be happier with the experience.
Steffie, who runs the daycare, is absolutely brilliant. She has a natural understanding of dogs and creates such a warm, welcoming environment that you immediately feel at ease leaving your pets in her care. It’s clear she genuinely loves what she does, and that comes through in how happy and relaxed the dogs are around her.
Morris and Jack always come home tired, content, and in great spirits, which says everything. I’ve noticed a real improvement in their confidence and social behaviour since they started going.
It’s such a relief knowing they’re in good hands, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this daycare to anyone looking for a safe, friendly place for their dogs to thrive

Thank you so much for such a kind review! It has been an absolute joy getting to know Morris and Jack.
They are such characters, and seeing their confidence grow each time they visit is honestly the best part of my job. I’m so glad to hear they head home happy (and tuckered out!). It really means the world to me that you trust me with them—they’ve become such a wonderful part of our little pack.
Can’t wait to see their wagging tails at the door again soon, and I love the photos: Thanks for sharing!

Doggy faire BnB is a very friendly and welcoming home from home for dogs.
The owner cares for each dog as if they were her own. Walkies are fabulous
No hesitation in recommending this great place

Thank you so much! It’s always such a joy to have your girlie stay with me. You know how much I love having her as part of the family, and it’s my goal to make our in-home dog boarding feel like a true second home for every guest.
The 'fabulous walkies' are definitely a highlight of the day for me too! I'm so glad you feel confident recommending our cage-free boarding and daycare—it means the world to have your support. See you again soon!

Steph provides amazing in home boarding and day care. Our labrador loves going there as it is like a second home for her. I thoroughly recommend her as so much more personal and comfortable for a dog and so reassuring for an owner to know their pet is being so well looked after.

It is always such a treat to have your lovely Labrador stay with us—she really has become like a fourth dog to me! I’m so glad you feel she’s found her 'second home' here.
I’m a firm believer that in-home dog boarding and daycare should be exactly that—personal, comfortable, and entirely cage-free. It means the world to me that you trust me with her and feel that reassurance while you're away. Can't wait to see her (and you guys!) for her next visit soon.

Steffie goes beyond your average dog daycare and boarding. We feel that she cares for our dogs as well as we would care for them or better. Steffie helped us with recommendations for the food that we were feeding them. We also like that she tells us how they did after each visit, even if they weren't perfect, so we know the truth about how our pups did not a candy coted version of the truth. We feel very lucky to have found Doggie Faire BnB with Steffie and are very happy that our dogs behaved themselves well enough for our return visits.

Thank you so much for the wonderful feedback! We truly believe that in-home dog boarding and daycare should be a transparent experience, and we always prioritise giving owners an honest, detailed update on their dog's behaviour and well-being.
As a small-scale home boarding service, we take the time to get to know each dog’s specific needs—from their social interactions to their nutritional health. It was a pleasure to share those food recommendations with you and to see your pups thriving in our cage-free home environment. We feel lucky to have them as part of our 'pack' and look forward to their next visit!

I can highly recommend Doggie Faire BnB. Our two dogs love to go there it’s almost like home. The dogs sleep together in the kitchen, they can walk free outside in the fenced garden. Steffi is the best caretaker you can have for your dogs.

Thank you for the high recommendation! It is always a pleasure having your two stay with us. We take pride in offering a home-from-home environment where dogs can settle in comfortably—whether that's sleeping together in the kitchen or enjoying supervised play in our secure, fenced garden.
Providing a cage-free, in-home dog boarding experience is our top priority, and we're so glad they feel right at home here. We look forward to seeing them for their next 'holiday'!

Steffie is truly great with our dog Breac- patient, warm and above all responsible. We love knowing that he will be safe and looked after when he is at Steffie’s . We are so glad she was recommended to us .

Thank you so much for the kind words! It is always a pleasure having Breac stay with us. We understand how important it is for owners to find a safe and responsible in-home dog boarding environment where their pet feels like part of the family.

Last November I had an accident causing my neck to break! All very traumatic at the time but my main concern was my furry companion Saffie who i had for less than a year. All friends who would take her were going away for Christmas! A broken neck was going to take a long time but I found a wonderful solution to my problem and booked her in with Steffie Higgins at Doggie Faire! She fosters dogs and puppies in her home (not kennels or cages) walks all the dogs twice a day with her own dogs and will also give you video or photographic updates once a week! I was way from November to January and my only worry was whether Saffie had such a good time that she wouldn’t want to come home! She was looked after with love but was still happy to come home! I cannot praise Doggie Faire and Steffie Higgins high enough. Happy to recommend Doggy Faire BnB! Pat Williams

Thank you Pat. It was my absolute pleasure, not only to be able to put your mind at rest while you were convalescing, but also to care for and spend time with the lovely Saffie. She is always welcome at Doggie Faire.
