• We are fully insured at our private home for hosting canine daycare, walking dogs and transporting dogs by car or van with Petplan Sanctuary.

• We are sorry, but in order to maintain a high level of care, we are unable to host more than five dogs at any one time [plus our Executive Sausage , Enzo] Usually this means 4 dogs for daycare and one staying over. However , occasionally the number of dogs may increase for short times during changeovers.

• We do on occasion take other breeds, if they live or spend regular time with another dachshund.

• We are unable to facilitate visits from Dachshund Fans, as strangers can disrupt the status quo of the dogs, and cause unnecessary stress and noise.

• Feedback from our customers is available on our Facebook page here https://www.facebook.com/sausagesittersni/reviews/?ref=page_internal
