A dog's best friend!
Pet care experience
Hi! Me and my partner have a very friendly and dog-loving pomsky, Kai, who is just desperate for some doggy company on his walks. We are therefore available for walks, doggy day-care and overnight care for other friendly and sociable dogs! We both work completely from home, for the university, and any fur baby would never be left alone for extended periods. We live in a house with an enclosed garden, on the outskirts of Durham and we fully take advantage of the beautiful countryside walks around us. Being a husky cross, Kai is quite high energy so goes out on at least an hour walk each day, but we venture further afield on weekends. Any visiting dog can do the same (or can be scooped up and carried by me if little legs get tired!). Besides Kai, I myself have had a (somewhat shy and clingy!) Cockapoo whereas my partner, Duncan, has experience raising a boisterous and energetic Patterdale-Staffy cross, so we have experience with a range of doggy personalities and love them all!!
Reviews
Our dog Fletcher had an amazing week with Catherine, Duncan and their gorgeous dog Kai. They kept me up to date with regular messages and photos and made Fletcher feel right at home. Fletcher is only young, had a hard start to life and needed lots of love and care and that is exactly what he got. I wouldn't hesitate to book with Catherine again next time we need someone to look after Fletcher ❤️
Great communication, Jinx settled in right away and had a nice time. Will certainly be using Catherine again for dog-sitting :)
Couldn’t recommend Cat and Duncan (and Kai of course) more. Our ten year old and one year old, both very different but equally as needy, labradors stayed over for 5 days and they genuinely had the best time! We got plenty of updates, managed to have a super relaxing holiday abroad knowing they were happy and safe, they had snuggles in bed and got plenty of love + play + attention! A big thank you again from us.

We have an enclosed garden so your dog will be able to sniff about (and help Kai with his quest to dig up our entire garden...). We also have a large dog crate, if this is desired.

Information Catherine G. would like to know about your pet
We can look after any breed of dog! The only exception would be unspayed females as Kai has not been neutered. He gets on with literally any dog though, so any other doggy friend would be very welcomed!
A typical day
We have un unjustifiably large number of dog toys in our house as Kai is spoilt! He has no toy possessiveness and would LOVE to have a friend to share them with. We also have mental challenge toys to keep doggy minds stimulated.

Availability
Both Duncan and I work fully from home, so we are available throughout the day for walks and tuggy. We can set our own work schedule so we tend to take a couple of hours out of the day to give our dog a long walk at lunch time.
