Information catherine k. would like to know about your pet

Do they have good recall or should they be kept on leads. Are they friendly either other dogs. are they snappy about toys or sharers.

A typical day

I live very close to woodlands so the dogs get a good run off lead if recall is good. At home they have the run of the garden and plenty of stimulating toys.

Pet care experience

I am very close to Stansted airport so perfect if you’re flying from there. I treat all dogs staying with me as I would my own, giving them lots of attention and cuddles. I have a secure garden and woodland a minute walk from my house. I will ensure plenty of playtime and walks. I have room for a crate should your dog prefer this. I do have 2 dogs of my own who are very friendly and happy to share, I find what one does they all do. I do allow dogs up on the sofa for cuddles. Over the past 20 years I've owned min 2, max3 dogs at the same time, and as I had plenty of space this number would often extend to 5 or 6 whilst friends went on holiday so I am use to handling packs, dogs are like children, keep them happy and another 1 or 2 are no bother. Please let me know if your dog has any special needs so we can work out if we will be a good fit, I always do a meet and greet again to ensure we are both happy.

Cathy took great care of our dog Rosie on her first stay overnight. She kept us updated with photos and we were happy that Rosie was settled and loving the attention. All communication and arrangements were excellent. I highly recommend Cathy, thank you for making Rosie so welcome.

Cathy was a pleasure from the moment we met her, very personable and welcoming! Cathy looked after our dog Oscar whilst we were away on holiday for a long weekend, she gave us regular updates and it was obvious he was well cared for with lots of dog walks and dogs playing together! Thanks again for taking care of Oscar and we look forward to using your service again in the near future! We highly recommend Cathy as a trusted dog walker :)

Cathy is a lovely, warm, A* boarder. I was able to enjoy my time away knowing that my dog was getting all the care and love he's used to. He had a great stay with her and her own 2 adorable dogs. Would recommend her wholeheartedly and will definitely be booking again.
