Information Catherine R. would like to know about your pet

I can accommodate special needs and specialise in the elderly pups due to my experience as a registered veterinary nurse. Including those needing medication and have hearing or sight issues

A typical day

My little dog loves to play and go for walks in the nearby woods so your pup will join in with ball the fun. We have lots of toys and games. But for those that prefer the quiet life we are very good at that too.

We honestly couldn't have asked for anyone better than Cathy to look after Obi while we've been on holiday. Leaving your dog with someone else is always a bit nerve-wracking but Cathy made us feel completely at ease from the start. She clearly has a genuine love for dogs and it really showed in the way she cared for Obi. We loved receiving the updates and photos throughout the day and seeing how happy and relaxed he was meant we could properly enjoy our time out without worrying. Thank you so much, Cathy, for taking such wonderful care of our boy. It means more than you know and we'd book with you again in a heartbeat. We're so grateful to have found you 🥰

My puppy absolutely loves staying with Cathy it certainly is very much a home from home environment where Cathy treats every dog like her own. She has a lot of experience and is excellent at handling some behavioural issues my dog displays. I highly recommend Cathy for the daycare she offers and she is also very flexible fitting in with my various work schedules.

Cathy was lovely and my dog Leo was very happy to play with her little dog Barney. Cathy sent me lots of pics which was very comforting. I would def recommend her. X

Cathy is fantastic and we wouldn’t take our dog anywhere else now. We had never left our 5 month old puppy before and were really anxious about leaving her but Cathy made the whole process really easy and we felt totally relaxed knowing she was in the best care! Receiving photos and videos was really reassuring as we could see what a great time she was having!
