Availability

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!

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.

Information Catherine E. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any special needs that need to be taken into account so that you, me and your pooch are comfortable.

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.

Pet care experience

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.

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.
