Loving home for your dog

Pet care experience

I've had dogs since I was a child. My own dogs have been varied. Pekinese, Pointers, Shi-tzu and Collie. I have also looked after a Golden Doodle for a friend and a Cocker Spaniel for family. I have looked after young and old dogs and am used to giving dogs medication prescribed by the vet. I also used to look after/care for dogs, through Barking Mad, a dog care company whose franchise has now expired in the Newark area.

I spent countless hours searching for someone with real experience handling working dogs, as we have a Border Collie, and it was so important to find the right fit. From the moment I met Dorothy at our meet and greet, I knew she was the one. Enzo absolutely fell in love with her and had such an amazing time during his doggy day care stay. I was looking for a true “home away from home” for him, and that’s exactly what Dorothy provides. She is incredibly knowledgeable, gentle, and patient—her experience really shines through in the way she cares for the dogs. I honestly couldn’t be happier and feel so reassured knowing Enzo is in such great hands.

This is the second time I have used Dorothy and once again, she was absolutely fantastic. I could tell she really enjoyed having Kora and could tell Kora really enjoyed her stay. A great sitter, who tailors things to suit you and your pet perfectly. Thanks Dorothy

Dorothy was absolutely fantastic with Kora's first stay. Extremely helpful before and during, even when my travel arrangements changed
