Cosy Snuggles & Loving Care
Animals have been part of my home for as long as I can remember — from playful dogs and gentle cats to tiny hamsters with big personalities. After recently saying goodbye to my beautiful cat Koko, I treasure even more the warmth, comfort, and joy pets bring into everyday life.These days, I share my home with my sweet (and a little mad!) Springer Spaniel, Skye. She fills our days with fun walks, silly moments, and plenty of cuddles. I’m experienced with both dogs and cats, and I’m confident with special care too — including daily medication, gentle reassurance, and lots of pampering. My home isn’t just me, though. My family — Ryan, my son, and Martin — are a big part of the love and care here. They both absolutely adore animals and naturally step in to help, offering the same warmth, patience, and kindness. Visiting pets often end up with three people fussing over them instead of one. I’ll always work closely with you to follow your pet’s routine, keeping everything familiar and comforting so they settle in easily and feel right at home. Above all, we believe every pet deserves softness, comfort, fun, and attention. Whether it’s a lively walk, a cosy cuddle on the sofa, or extra care, your fur baby will be treated like family — cherished, comforted, and surrounded by kindness while you’re away.

Ratings and reviews
Great communication, lots of photos and info about my dog and he had a great time! would definitely recommend!
We had excellent communication with Bernie from the start, and felt confident to entrust her with our cats. She looked after our Francesca and Bertie very well which put our minds at ease while we were away. Bernie showed diligence by asking for clarifications about their feeding, and we got lots of photos showing the kitties happy, relaxed and in playful mood, and Bernie also clearly enjoying their company.
If possible, I would give 6 stars. Bernie and her family are amazing humans. All very kind and nice to the dog and to my family too. She gave me timely and frequent updates with photos, what kept me relaxed during my holidays. It is very clear that my dog was happy with her good walks, patience with my grumpy old baby boy and a big smile all the time. Will certainly book again soon if she is available.
Fantastic service and care provided by Bernie. Kept me updated throughout the whole process! Definitely will use her again.
Bernie is friendly, easy going and flexible around visit times. She takes time to get to know your pet’s routine, likes and habits. She send daily updates with pics and videos, very reassuring for an anxious mum a long way away! Very pleased to have found her as she treats your pet like her own with lots of fuss and cuddles. Highly recommended
Bernie was fantastic with my lab Rossa. She and her partner looked after her really well and you could see how much they enjoyed having her. Lots of updates and photographs too. Would definitely recommend.

Schedule
I’ve recently finished work and now have the time and energy to devote to spending my days looking after dogs, cats, and other furry friends! There’s nothing I enjoy more than filling my days with walks, playtime, and cuddles. Whether it’s daily visits, overnight stays, or just some extra attention, I’m flexible and ready to adapt to your pet’s need.

Whether in your home or mine, I treat your pet like my own, providing loving care and attention throughout the day.
Pets
A typical day
If I were caring for your precious baby, I’d tailor activities to their energy level, age, and personality. For dogs, that could mean engaging walks with plenty of games like fetch or tug-of-war, or simple training exercises to stimulate their minds. Active dogs might enjoy agility games or scent trails, while more relaxed dogs would get gentle play and lots of affection, cuddles & love. For cats, I’d create a mix of play, comfort, cuddles and stimulation suited to their needs. Playful cats might enjoy chasing feather wands, exploring new toys, or climbing cat trees. Quieter or senior cats would get cozy window-watching time, gentle grooming if they enjoy it, and soft spots to nap in. Whether energetic or calm, I would ensure they are happy and comfortable and with lots & lots of cuddles.
