Pet care experience
Professional Pet Love in a Cozy Home Environment
I've dedicated the last 4 years to caring for my own Bernedoodle and Golden Doodle with the same attention and skill I brought to my nursing career. I left my role as a nurse to focus full-time on what I'm truly passionate about - providing care to my dogs. Now I'm ready to expand and share this same level of devoted care with your furry family members. What sets me apart: • Healthcare background brings attention to detail and professional care standards • Two daily walks totaling 3 hours of exercise and exploration in the South Downs • Full-time care and companionship throughout the day - your dog is never alone • Hands-on experience with large, energetic breeds like doodles • Comfortable with medication administration and special dietary needs • Genuine passion for dogs that shows in everything I do • Regular updates with photos so you know your pet is happy and thriving Your dogs will receive the same devoted attention and love I give my own pets, with plenty of playtime, exercise, and cuddles in a clean, secure home environment with a fenced yard.

Ratings and reviews
Christina went out her way to make sure Bob was cared for and happy. Even taking him on a walk before he spent the day. He was happy to arrive and chilled when we collected him. She offers them 2 great walks. They have a fabulous home and garden. We will be booking again.
Calendar and availability
Schedule
I've structured my entire day around providing exceptional dog care. My routine starts early with dog drop-offs ideally by 7am to join our first adventure, or latest by 8:30am. After dropping my daughter at nursery, the dogs and I head to different parks for our first 90-minute walk and exploration. We return home for refreshments, rest, and feeding time. Our second scheduled walk happens around 2pm (weather permitting - I'm very heat-aware during summer months). While I collect my daughter at 4pm, the dogs receive continued attention, play, and companionship with my mother who assists with care. This ensures your pets are never alone and always have human interaction throughout their stay with us. Drop-offs are welcomed by either myself or my mother, ensuring a smooth transition.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Your dogs will be safe and loved in our secure, fenced 2 hectare garden alongside my two friendly Bernedoodle and Golden Doodle who provide excellent canine companionship. I can easily accommodate crating if that's part of your dog's routine or preference. My healthcare background as a former nurse means I'm vigilant about medication schedules, and recognizing any signs of distress or illness.

A typical day
Our day begins bright and early with an energizing 90-minute morning adventure exploring local parks and nature trails. Dogs love the fresh morning air and cooler temperatures, making it perfect for sniffing, socializing, and burning off that morning energy! After our return home, it's time for well-deserved rest and refreshment. The dogs enjoy fresh water, their scheduled meals, and some relaxing downtime. Mid-morning brings supervised playtime in our secure fenced garden where they can chase toys, interact with my friendly Bernedoodle and Golden Doodle, or simply lounge in the sunshine. Our second 90-minute walk around 1-2pm takes us to the beautiful South Downs and surrounding countryside areas. This is where the real magic happens - rolling hills, woodland paths, and open spaces where dogs can safely explore new scents and terrain. Weather permitting, we discover different routes to keep things exciting and mentally stimulating. Between walks, there's plenty of indoor play, cuddle time, and individual attention. Each dog receives personal interaction based on their personality - whether that's gentle brushing, learning new games, or quiet companionship for more reserved pets. Fun Activities: Every dog is unique, so I tailor activities to their personality and energy level! We enjoy interactive games like hide-and-seek with treats, puzzle toys for mental stimulation, and splash time in our garden during warmer days. My own doodles are excellent playmates for social dogs, while quieter pets get one-on-one attention with gentle brushing sessions or peaceful garden exploring.
