Highlights
Pet care experience
Home from Home care for your four legged friend!
Growing up we always had dogs at home and I owned my large mixed breed bitch for 11 years and in that time we played host to many visiting dogs. I have always preferred a home environment for dogs to be cared for in rather than kennels, and that’s exactly what we want to provide. My two children are used to being around a mix of dogs of different sizes (my girl was around 30kg) and have learnt how to safely play with dogs, and leave them alone when sleeping or eating. We are lucky to have both beach and country walks not far from our house so whether your pooch likes to walk or sleep, we would love to meet them! I have had recent experience of puppy training so toilet and crate training is something we are happy to accommodate ❤️
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Absolutely fantastic dog sitter! From start to finish, Carolyn was incredibly reliable, caring, and attentive. It was clear that my dog was treated like her own and genuinely had a home away from home. I really appreciated the regular updates and all the lovely pictures, which gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. Carolyn kept me fully up to date and went above and beyond to make sure my dog was happy, comfortable, and well looked after. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would have no hesitation in booking again. Highly recommend!
We couldn’t recommend Carolyn highly enough! We regularly use her to look after Kobe, and every time we leave him with her, we have complete peace of mind knowing he’s in such capable and caring hands. It’s clear that Kobe is expertly cared for, but more importantly, he genuinely feels like part of Carolyn’s family while he’s there. He gets so much love, attention and care, and we can tell how happy and settled he is when he stays. We know Kobe is always in safe hands. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can truly trust with their dog. She’s fantastic, and we wouldn’t use anyone else!
Carolyn was amazing, Rocky seemed so comfortable with Carolyn and her lovely family. I had regular updates and photos and she responded very quickly to any messages. I don’t think Rocky wanted to leave! I would not hesitate to leave Rocky with Carolyn again, she provided a loving home for him during his stay with lots of cuddles and attention. 😁
Barney returned for a second stay and Carolyn gave him a wonderful holiday. I received updates and videos of him happily playing and having fun. He was very well cared for. Carolyn and her family are very good at understanding and meeting your dogs needs. Fantastic.
Thanks for looking after Carruthers! She’ll be back again soon. 🐕
Carolyn & family looked after Lykke for a second time & we feel so happy that Lykke has somewhere to go where she feels happy & safe when we are away. We appreciate Carolyn & all the family looking after her so well & we will use them again in the future.

Schedule
I work from home three days a week and home most weekends so whether your pooch needs walking a few times a day or just wants cuddles - either can be achieved.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have a fenced back garden for easy toileting needs. Pets will free roam the house but can be crated for rest periods if this would be the routine at home for them.
A typical day
Daily trips to the beach or nearby park are always on the agenda along with playtime in the garden if that’s something that your dog enjoys. If they are more of a couch potato they can cuddle up on the sofa.
