Highlights
Pet care experience
We welcome all kinds of kind.
I've taken care of animals for over 10 years. We have one cocker girl (Daisy), one entire lab (Dudley) and two very tolerant cats. We live very semi-rurally on a detached, 1/4 acre plot and have the privilege of being able to walk three minutes before getting onto Castlemorton Common. My pups are very well socialised and are so happy when my mum comes to visit with her two dogs! Rest assured that I will try and accommodate all your pups' needs and will love them like my own animals. I can either work from home, take well-behaved dogs to the office or do welfare breaks on my lunch breaks like I do with my own dogs. I have a gated garden with stock fencing. I am very close to the the daily walk we do, but also drivable to the Malvern Hills for a bit more. I'm happy to keep your pup on the lead if needed. We walk twice daily for about half an hour off-lead each time. On the weekends, the animals have all my attention and I try to fit in a longer walk for them. I have fostered a few rescues now, so we are well used to all kinds of dogs.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
First time with Gabi. Shanti seemed very comfortable with Gabi and seemed to have had a lovely time. Would definitely book again.
This was Bonnie's first visit to Gabi's. She was a little nervous when we left her, but Gabi sent a video within 15minutes of us leaving and she had already settled in. Bonnie had a great day and wasn't in a rush to come home!
Gabi has looked after my pup weekly for the last few months so this is my second review with a build on my first (as I'm now moving out of the area). Best way to review I can think of is to share how my pup is with her... he cuddles up to her legs when I drop him off with big excited tail wags and happy noises. When I pick him up he does his best not to come home so that he can stay and play with her two lovely dogs Dudley and Daisy. Exactly what I hoped for from day care, he is thoroughly cared for and becomes 'part of the pack' when there. Thank you so much Gabi!
As well as being genuinely lovely, Gabi is very knowledgeable about dog and puppy care, with plenty of experience. Her happy family of pets (two dogs and two cats) very much welcomed my pup and he had a great time on his visit. Her place is ideally suited for sitting too, with a big fenced off garden to play in. Gabi sent me lots of photos of Charlie while he was with her, and even gave me a poo update (as he's had a poorly belly so I was a bit worried on that front). She also gave me some helpful training guidance too. Big thanks!
Our dog Kora had a great time with Gabi and her 2 lovely dogs. They all got on really well and had lots of fun playing together. Gabi sent us regular updates and we felt she was in very safe hands.
Highly, supremely and massively recommended. I was anxious about leaving my needy, bouncy dog with anyone overnight but was (and still am) blown away by Gabi’s care of my little hound! I got some lovely updates while my dog was with Gabi, could see her instantly wag when with her and her dog crew, enjoyed our sleepy reunion as Arty had been on long rural walk - lots of new things to experience. 100/10, amazing and I am incredibly grateful from the bottom of my heart. Thank you!

Schedule
I work full time at a family-run estate. Well-behaved dogs are welcome in the office, otherwise I can WFH or do lunch time welfare breaks.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have a fully fenced garden that I only let them out in if I'm out there with them or have my eye on. Inside the house is a free-for-all for all the animals, they rule the roost!

A typical day
I love taking my dogs for walks where they can be free and safe. St Wulstan's Nature Reserve is great for this or further afield the Malvern Hills.

- My boy dog is unneutered, my female dog is neutered. He has no aggression issues, but is something to bear in mind and why I can't accept unneutered female dogs.
