The best care and affection for your pet.
Pet care experience
I have had numerous pets including rabbits, a tortoise, cats and dogs during my life to look after. I love animals and they love me. People call me the dog whisperer as their dogs instantly form a bond with me and seem to understand everything I say! I have 8 years of extensive experience looking after dogs and cats with special needs. Separation anxiety, severe arthritis, Parkinson’s disease, various disabilities including spinal injuries, complex bone fractures in legs, food allergies, and irritable bowel syndrome to name but a few. No job will be too great or too small. I will look after your pets as if they were my own and provide all the care, attention and affection they need. I provide half hourly and hourly bookings and I can also provide 45 minute bookings so please let me know and I can arrange this with you. During walks I provide treats, if permitted by you and I also provide cold fresh water when required. I really enjoy walking dogs and quite regularly go over the time booked at no additional cost. As you can see from my photos I take dogs for walks in the countryside wherever possible. I also clean dogs paws after the walk and will wipe any mud off kitchen floors so you don’t need to worry about that during the winter months. I am also extremely competent with training dogs to stop pulling on their leads, to walk close to my side and to stop them eating anything they shouldn’t during walks. I have many years experience walking dogs that are very boisterous and excitable when walking. My regular customers always remark about this to me and after a short while walking with me they say their dogs are so well behaved when walking. I also have many years experience walking dogs that behave aggressively to other dogs. After a short while I do manage to train them not to lunge at other dogs. My prices are negotiable so please contact me to discuss. I can also provide you with a promotional code for £15 off your first pet sitting booking with me. I look forward to hearing from you and can’t wait to make more furry friends! ❤️
Reviews
Karen was kind enough to take Bobby in last minute. It was my first time leaving him so I was slightly nervous but Karen put me at ease by sending lots of photos and giving me plenty of updates. It looked like he had a great time and was truly spoiled rotten! I would highly recommend Karen.
Karen has been great taking Nala on weekly walks. Very considerate of needs and super professional, would highly recommend Karen’s services!
Thank you so much for looking after Jasper and Rosie (my two very different but super excited dogs) they really enjoyed their time with you, thanks for staying in our house while we were away, Jasper was far less stressed as he has been previously when we were away. I don’t know what you have done to them but they are both shattered from all the walking. Our house was as clean as we left it almost like Karen was never there. Karen also look after my mums guniea pigs too, Rolo and Ralph who throughly enjoyed Karen’s attention and cuddles they looked so happy when we returned today. Happily pop-corning as i walked in. They were immaculately clean and considering they constantly eat and poo i was amazed how clean they were. Thank you Karen for all your help you are a star and we couldn’t have gone away without you. I would highly recommend Karen to anyone for looking after your pets and to house sit a very convenient service for a great price too.
Would totally recommend Karen, she has just looked after our two Boston Terriers for the first time and did an amazing job. The Bostons clearly loved being with Karen and we felt completely reassured that were leaving them in safe hands. Will definitely be contacting Karen the next time we are need of a dog sitter.

I will provide affection, love and attention to your pets. I will cater to their needs and requirements whether it be feeding them, taking them for a walk or outside for their toilet needs. If you’re looking for someone who goes above and beyond, that’s me. Any dogs, cats and other pets in my care are treated as if they were my own. To me it’s not just about the basic needs eg walking and letting them out for toilet, it’s about providing constant attention, affection and reassurance to all the pets in my care. Pets boarding with me will be provided with home cooked meals such as fresh vegetables, beef, chicken, lamb and home cooked strews. (diet permitting) They will be treated as if they were in a 5 star hotel and will be treated as part of the family during their stay. I have always had a really strong bond with animals. They love me, and I love them! ♥️♥️
