Highlights
Pet care experience
Play or stay-all wet noses welcome!
We’ve had them all from puppies to OAPs, all shapes and sizes! Whilst we are an active household, we relish snuggles and belly rubs when we get the opportunity. Medication, special diets, cones of shame and fears can all be accommodated as I work from home. We like a good dog walk and have some lovely open spaces from our doorstep. My children have grown up with dogs and understand they all have different needs and personalities. Unfortunately we have recently lost our resident senior citizen, Poppy, although we have a couple of lovely regular day boarders each week.

Ratings and reviews
Elvis always seems to enjoy his time with Catherine & her family, in fact I’m not sure he wanted to leave this time!! 😆
Benji is always so happy staying with Catherine. She keeps us well updated with photos and videos. Benji always enjoys his little holidays with her.
Nutmeg always has such a lovely time with Catherine and her family! We get regular photos and updates during her stays, and Catherine is always quick to reply. Thank you again for having her this past week!
Rosie was looked after brilliantly by Catherine and loved her time staying there. We will definitely be using again!
Rosie loved her stay with Catherine and will definitely be back! The photos and updates were much appreciated.
Poppy looked completely at ease and enjoyed her stay with Catherine and her family. I received lots of photos and updates while we were away which were reassuring seeing Poppy having a nice time. I would thoroughly recommend Catherine as a caring and reliable sitter/boarder.

Schedule
I have a school run in the morning so we are up early, dogs fed and walked after school drop-off. On nice days the back door stays open, on cold wet days the dogs get invited into the back garden regularly. Toys are always available and dinner and walk is mandatory in the early evening. Then it’s sofa time!
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have a secure, safe garden and plenty of room with an open plan downstairs. I have a couple of crates if required as I have previously crate trained my own pets. I work from home and live with two children (11 and 14). The children will not have caring responsibilities, just play! There is an inner door before the front door, so if your pooch is a flight risk, we can safeguard against that. Dogs tend to sleep downstairs but if they make their way into my bed, I don’t kick them off! All we ask is that dogs are housetrained before they come. It’s important that you know I will respect your instructions if I am looking after your pet in your own home.
Pets
A typical day
There are some lovely walks on our doorstep although I will keep them on the lead unless their recall is excellent! Water loving? Got that too! Endless balls around the house and occasionally a playmate.
