Information Catherine O. would like to know about your pet

Let me know all about your dog's personality. What they like and don't like. When do they normally eat? How much exercise would you like them to have? We have a crate available for smaller dogs if your dog is used to a crate.

A typical day

Your dog will explore our local area, maybe going for a run on the beach or a walk along the coast path with the wind in their hair! If they love to swim then we have a local reservoir where they can cool down and swim for sticks and balls. Back in the house they will get lots of attention from our family and play with all of the doggy toys

Pets

Family who love dogs and walking

Pet care experience

We own a dog of our own who gets a lot of love and attention and we are all keen walkers. My husband and I have grown up around dogs and have owned our own dog for the past 9 years who loves to get very muddy so we do not mind giving dogs a good bath!

Our dog was very happy staying with Catherine and her family. Catherine was very quick to respond to messages and very flexible with our dates/timings which I had to change a couple of times. He had nice beach walks and enjoyed the company of the other dogs.

Cannot thank Catherine enough.We were down for our Daughters wedding in the area and Catherine has made our day for looking after Hector so well. Taken all the stress away for us in leaving him whilst we were able to enjoy her day to the fullest. Thank you again Catherine

Catherine was absoloutley fantastic, we asked as a last minute request and she managed to facilitate us again. Kept us upto date with lunas progress and sent pictures. Luna had a great time, would highly recommend Catherine to anyone.
