About us

Hi, we are Vikki and Andy (the humans) and Penny and Indie (the resident mini mutts)

With their big personalities and unique charm, small dogs hold a special place in our hearts and we have years of experience owning and caring for them.  There is nothing we love more than lovely walks and cosy sofa snuggles with our mini's, quite simply we couldn't imagine life without the pitter-patter of little paws sharing it with us.

Like many devoted pooch parents, we are incredibly fussy about who looks after our own dogs, they are more comfortable around others of a similar size and they each have their individual personalities and needs, so we created a small dog care business that reflects our own expectations and one we would be happy to use ourselves. With varied career backgrounds in Local Government, hospitality, and the RAF now behind us,  Mini Mutts Retreat is a full time labour of love.

Outside of Mini Mutts Retreat, we are keen supporters of dog rescue, in particular Serbia's Forgotten Paws, the charity we adopted Penny and Indie from. After spending a week in Serbia volunteering at the shelter, we have seen first hand the incredible work the charity does amidst huge emotional and financial challenges.

We hope to meet you and your beloved 'mini' soon.

Vikki, Andy,
