ABOUT US

Our cosy house is open to all the good boys and girls who love people, enjoy lots of attention and like being told a million times a day how gorgeous they are!

YOUR HOSTS

Epic Tails is run by me, Emily — and since we run everything from home, my husband Dan is naturally part of the pack! Our senior dog Hettie is, of course, the true boss of the operation.

​

Our aim is to provide a true home from home experience where your dog runs up to the front door and feels happy, confident and stress free - and we want that for you as well! We really do understand how difficult it is to leave your dog for any amount of time so we want to make that experience totally guilt free. Whether its for a day or a few weeks while you are on holiday, we want them to feel right at home and have their very own break.

 

In the nicest way possible… we want to make them so content here, that they don't even notice you’re gone.​

MEET HETTIE

Our resident dog — the OG, the queen of the household.

 

We rescued Hettie from Romania in 2017, along with her wonderful companion Henry, who sadly passed away in 2022. The joy, laughter, and love they have brought into our lives is truly immeasurable, and we want to pass that on!

 

Every dog (and human) who visits our home is greeted by Hettie’s wagging tail as she happily plods to the door. She’s the most patient, gentle soul you could meet and her calm, friendly nature is a big part of why we are able to welcome so many dogs into her space.

 

Hettie is the absolute heart of our home (and she's promised me she will live forever)

Emily did an incredible job looking after both mine and my mum’s dogs while we were away on holiday. These two mean the world to us, so leaving them is always hard, but from the very start Emily gave us complete reassurance and peace of mind. She kept in touch with regular updates and photos, which made such a difference and allowed us to really relax knowing they were happy, safe, and being so well cared for.
