About Bright Eyes

Bright Eyes is a Cheltenham based dog care specialist, experienced with dogs of all breeds, ages and needs. We guarantee your dog’s welfare will be at the heart of everything we do and you’ll be able to see the proof yourself in their eyes!

Our History

Since we were young, dogs have been our life. The magic of being in a dog's company, watching them fully living in the moment, as only a dog knows how to do, makes for a perfect existence. We have grown up with dogs and owned several breeds, but our knowledge was further developed when in 2013 we traveled around the world for a year, caring for dogs as we went.

Once back in the UK, we began looking after dogs regularly and fully realised our affinity with them; understanding their needs and thriving on the feeling of that moment when you and your dog walk in together in a calm, purposeful rhythm. We realised we were positively contributing to their well-being and knew we'd done our job when seeing their bright eyes radiating happiness and the smile on their owners faces when they returned, giving them a secure peace of mind when they left us with their dog. And so, Bright Eyes was born.

Our Philosophy

Our ethos is to provide a safe, loving and happy environment whilst you are away from your dog, whether for a few hours, a day or as long as you need. Rest assured, your dog will have a wonderful time - you can read it in their eyes!

When our Westie angel Poppy couldn't stay with family, we would use a dog walker or boarder, but always worried whether she was having a nice time - we couldn't bear the thought of her being sad, even for a second. We often wished she could speak, so we knew she was happy, but over time we realised she already was - in the way she wagged her tail, panted, was more inquisitive and - most of all - she had BRIGHT EYES.

Services & Rates

Dog Walking

One hour walk in nature. Includes collection and return, then plenty of running, playing, sniffing and adventure, plus a good wipe down before coming home! – £12

We offer a range of walks to suit every dog’s needs, so whether you have a young one that loves to run, an older one that prefers a slower pace or anything in between, we ensure they will return happy and well exercised. All our walks take place in countryside and nature, both on and off a lead (with your permission of course) and are designed to provide a mix of effective exercise and mental stimulation – in other words plenty of running, playing, sniffing and adventure! We will collect and return your dog to their home and provide all leads, bags etc as part of the service. It’s also no problem if you need to be at work or elsewhere when we arrive, as we securely keep keys for all our owners who prefer that convenience.

Dog Day Care

A full day of care. Includes collection and return, an hour-long walk in nature plus all the playtime, cuddles and affection they want in our home! – £20

If you’re looking for more than a walk, then Bright Eyes day care is the answer. We collect your dog in the morning ready for a full day of care and adventure with us. Each day includes at least an hour-long walk (unless you prefer less) in local countryside, then all the socialising, playtime with us and our dog toys, naps and cuddles they could possibly want. In the evening we will return your happy, well-exercised – and clean! – dog to their home for you to see yourself their bright eyes!

Home Boarding & Sitting

Dog home boarding. Includes collection and return, everything in our day care service plus feeding and overnight stay in our home – £25 per 24 hours

If you’re going away overnight or on holiday for a few weeks, we can look after your dog in our home for their very own doggy vacation. Our home boarding service includes collection and return to your home, a good hour-long walk each day, all the play, cuddles and attention they need, feeding according to their routine and at the end of every fun day, a comfy sleep in our home like they would in their own (we never use kennels or crates for any of our ‘guests’). We are very happy to use your dog’s own bedding if you’d prefer them to have some home-comforts but we provide all leads, bedding, bowls as part of the service.
