Welcome to the Den
Our passion for dachshunds runs deep.
Sarah and Jamie started by looking after friends’ dachshunds alongside our own girls, Ruby, Saffi and Emmi. Word spread, more little legs came through the door and Daxie Den grew naturally.
Katie joined us as the business grew, and before long the rest of our family had become just as dachshund mad. It is a true family-run business, with familiar routines, honest updates and care built around the dog in front of us.

Their holiday matters too
We need to know the real them.
Dachshunds are sensitive little souls. The more we know about your dog — their routine, worries, triggers, habits and funny quirks — the better we can tailor our approach and help them feel safe.
We try our very best to help every family we can, but we also have to be honest about whether our setting is suitable. Please tell us everything, even the bits you think might sound awkward. There is no judgement; it simply helps us make the kindest, safest decision for everyone.
- Thoughtful settling-in process
- Secure gardens and local walks
- Care built around their routine
- Plenty of photos and pupdates
