Highlights
Pet care experience
Licensed & loving dog carer
Licensed Home Dog Boarding/sitting/walking - Licence No. 98777 I’m a lifelong dog lover with two friendly 8 year-old dogs of my own and 8 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs. I’m proud to have already received five 5-star reviews from happy owners on Rover, and I aim to make every dog feel safe, relaxed and completely at home during their stay. Dogs staying with me enjoy daily walks, outdoor time, play, plenty of attention and downtime to suit their individual routine and personality. I only care for a small number of dogs at a time, so they receive lots of individual attention and genuinely become part of the family while they’re here. For added peace of mind, I have comprehensive pet care insurance, Canine Pet First Aid trained and fully licensed to home board and walk dogs. I also have a secure garden and provide regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your dog is happy and well cared for. Dogs aged 1 year+ welcome. 🐾

Ratings and reviews
Cathy was amazing, you can tell she loves dogs and makes them feel so at home! Felt so at ease with leaving him there as he settled almost straight away and got loads of updates too. Terry (my dog) loved his stay there and got on really well with her two dogs. He will definitely be back 😊
Cathy was absolutely wonderful with our cockapoo Jeffrey, she made him and us feel totally happy and comfortable leaving him with her for the weekend. We had lots of lovely updates whilst he was there and he looked very settled. Cathy was a pleasure to deal with as well - thank you!
Cathy was fantastic from start to finish. From the initial meet and greet to dropping Olly and Bella off, the communication was excellent. We received lots of updates throughout their stay, which gave us complete peace of mind and showed how well they were being looked after. Olly and Bella were so well cared for, and it was clear they were happy and comfortable in Cathy’s care. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Cathy to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter. We’ll definitely be using her again in the future!
Cathy looked after my cockapoo recently when I went away for the weekend. She arranged a pre-meet to get know me and my dog, and it was clear from the off how much of a dog lover she is (she has two adorable and very friendly dogs herself). She sent me regular updates when I was away which really put my mind at ease and my dog was really well looked after, she treated her like royalty. I would definitely use Cathy again and would recommend to anyone wanting that home-from-home care.
Thank you Cathy for looking after dodger! He loved his walks and was worn out! He can’t wait to come back! He was very well looked after!
Coco loved her stay with Cathy, she was worn out from her walk! I would 100% recommend Cathy she treated my dog as one of her own… Coco will be back soon!

Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Your dog’s safety and comfort are my priority. I have a fully enclosed garden for secure outdoor time, and two small, friendly dogs who can provide companionship and help your dog settle in and feel relaxed in a welcoming home environment.
Pets
A typical day
Every dog is different, so I tailor activities to suit their age, personality, and energy levels. We enjoy walks, games of fetch, scent and treat-finding games, interactive toys, and plenty of playtime in my secure enclosed garden. For dogs who prefer a slower pace, I’m just as happy to provide gentle strolls, cuddles, and quiet relaxation. My two friendly dogs also love meeting new friends, so if appropriate, they can enjoy supervised social play together. My aim is to make every dog feel happy, safe, loved, and treated like part of the family while they’re with me.

- Before every booking, I’d like to know as much as possible about your dog’s personality, routine, and individual needs. This includes their feeding schedule, exercise requirements, any medical conditions or medication, allergies, vaccination status, behaviour around people and other dogs, and any fears or anxieties. I’d also like to know about their favourite toys, sleeping arrangements, and any commands or routines they’re used to. The more information you can provide, the better I can make sure your dog feels safe, comfortable, and enjoys a happy, stress-free stay with me.
