The Dreaming Dog is run by Janice and Jim Willsher. Janice and Jim both grew up around dogs, and have owned black Labradors for the past 10 years, all settled into their rural home part-way between Blairgowrie and Dunkeld.

Janice was previously a registered nurse, and Jim works for an I.T. company and is home-based.

Our garden is fully-enclosed (deer and rabbit fence) and is set back from the road by several hundred metres, so it really is very quiet. We also have CCTV coverage of the access road.

Both Janice and Jim have completed a Canine First Aid Level 2 (VTQ) course - photos below - which we hope we will never need! Jim has also been DBS-verified as part of his work.

We both love dogs, and since we're always around and we have such a large garden, we wanted to offer our services to other dog owners, especially as we know home dog boarding facilities are few and far between and are almost always fully booked up.
