All Round Pet Care

Pet care experience

I have been boarding dogs for some time now and thoroughly enjoy it. I have the advantage of working from home so I am always around for the animals. We have seen a variety of different breeds of all shapes, sizes and age. Even if your dog has any medication to take, training to undergo still or any other special requirements we are more than happy to cater for them and their needs. Their care is of the upmost importance to us. I have three females of my own, two Border Collie X Kelpies and a Dalmatian. I helped our Dalmatian successfully birth and raise a litter of 10 puppies born September 2018, and a litter of 12 in February 2021. I have also unofficially but successfully rehomed two foster dogs on separate occasions, matching them perfectly with their forever homes. Examples of some of the breeds I have looked after in the past; Great Dane, Bullmastiff, Rottweiler X Bullmastiff, Giant Schnauzer, Pointer, Husky X Pointer, German Sheperd, Golden Retriever, Springer Spaniel, Labrador, Border Collie, Dalmatian, Collie X Kelpie, Boxer, Jack Russell, Bichon Frise, Pomeranian, Cockapoo, Eurasier, Cockalier, Cavapoo, Cavachon, Shih Tzu, French Bulldog, Boston Terrier, Staffordshire Bull Terrier, Basset Hound, Miniature Schnauzer, Pug, Dachshund, King Charles Cavalier, Miniature Poodle, Yorkshire Terrier. This is just my hobby as I love doing it so much, therefore pick ups and drop offs must work around my home beauty business. I do not have set times as my appointments have different durations, so please let me know your proposed arrival times as soon as possible and I will see if I am free. My appointments aren’t usually long so the time may just be moved back or brought forward by 30mins at the most usually. I cannot ever leave a treatment to hand a dog over so please be prompt. When I am with clients I put the dogs in the kitchen but try to separate them as much as possible, so I may also put my girls in their crates. Treatments are never that long. When your dog is with us please remember I am only just a text away if you are concerned or missing them - we love to send pictures of your dog/s happy and relaxed in our own home to reassure you. We know it can be really hard at times for you as owners. We are always happy to arrange a meet and greet with you and your dog/s beforehand or even a trial night! I have always been surrounded by animals which has given me extensive knowledge on them so I can assure you your dog/s will be in the best of hands. I have also completed a First Aid course in Dog & Cat care which can be seen on request. We look forward to giving your dog/s a little holiday of their own!!!

Huge thanks to Harriet for looking after our Luna while we were away. We received plenty of updates with photos or videos so we could relax and enjoy our holiday without having to worry. We will definitely want to book with Harriet again.

Harriet you were amazing. Thank you so much. I'm not away from Lilly for so long very often so all the updates and photos showing her happy and relaxed both at your home and on walks were lovely to see. I will definitely be booking with you again next time. Thank you again ?

I cannot thank Harriet enough for looking after Ripley, she's had a lovely time and is now fast asleep on the back seat of the car after the excitement ?

Harriet took wonderful care of our dog and kept us updated with plenty of photos and some videos. He honestly looked like he was having as much of a holiday as we were with plenty of interesting and varied walks, lots of playtime and companionship. We were so pleased and would book again with Harriet.

We live in a terraced house with a secure garden. I have done this long enough now that I can guarantee each dog just slots in to our family life as I can straight away see what your dog needs, wants, and also see their personality. From this I know how to integrate them, and how to be with them. Each dog is completely different and I can adapt to them so they are happy on their holiday with us!

Information Harriet C. would like to know about your pet

Can they travel in the car okay, without sickness? What personality do they have? Dominant/submissive, bouncy/calm etc Not that they’re going to be left; but what are they like left alone? (This gives me a good idea of their personality)

A typical day

If I have enough time in my day, I like to take the dogs out of the city. We mostly visit forests and woods in Havant, Rowlands Castle, Denmead, Eartham and Titchfield. If staying in the city there are a few grassy and beachy places I know. I never like to take them to the same place twice in a row, I always mix it up!

I work from home (even pre covid) so I am around all the time for your pooches. I usually take my girls out on one long walk, or perhaps a quick morning run around and an afternoon stroll. I can easily adapt to your dogs needs though.
