Pet care experience

Trustworthy, reliable and caring dog lover

I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life. Ive had a springer spaniel and now have a cocker spaniel (aged 10).In the last 2 years I have been relied on by friends, family & clients to look after their dogs; providing walks, company, cuddles, feeding and giving medication & this is now my full time job! I’ve looked after dogs of all sizes, ranging from cavapoos to Rottweilers & standard labroddles. I have currently looked over 60+ different dogs. Every local owner has rebooked🥰. I understand that dogs are your whole world and you want someone else to love them & care for them as much as you do. Whilst your dog is with me I will do just this, I treat each dog as if they were my own. I am DBS checked and dog first aid.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a large garden for dogs to run around in and kitchen/bedroom/summer house area for when the weather isn’t good. I have fences on either side of my garden and an electric large gate by the entrance of my house. The back of my garden does have steps down onto the river stour but I always monitor them when they are down there. I follow the owners feeding, medication schedule. I will follow all your guidelines, for example I allow dogs to sleep on my bed but if you do not want this I won’t allow it.

Gabby was amazing with our 7 month old Frenchie, they quickly became best friends 😊 we wouldn't hesitate to trust Gabby with our pup anytime as the communication, care and peace of mind we received was fantastic. Thank you Gabby x

We are so happy that we found Gabby to look after our 9 month puppy! Communication was great from the start with quick replies to our messages and during the stay we were provided with lots of photos and videos which clearly showed our pup was having a great time! Gabby is very professional, responsible and clearly loves dogs. She was quick to establish a good relationship with our puppy and we were confident leaving him in her care. Her home has lovely grounds for the dogs to relax in and play. The river access was a huge hit with our water loving Labrador! All in all a brilliant first experience. We wouldn’t hesitate to use Gabby again or recommend to others. Thank you 😊

Thank you for looking after Connie. It was great seeing so many photos and clips that you sent. She came back a very happy doggie.I'm sorry if she took up too much of the bed!

Schedule

Since getting a chronic illness looking after dogs is my full time dog, I have a flexible, open schedule and will be able to give your dog my full attention at all times. Each day your dog will get an interesting 45- 1.5 hour & walk, play & sniff in my large garden, and even go swimming in the river if they wish! I ensure they also have lots of down time, to sleep and not get over stimulated.

Cats
0 to 7 kg
7 to 18 kg
