A cozy, caring and safe stay, by the sea 🌊⛱
Pet care experience
Hello! I'm Hatty. I'm 30. I love all animals and I've lived my whole life around dogs, cats, horses and various small furries and I am a very confident animal handler. I do live in a flat, but the best bit about boarding with me is that Goodrington Sands, a popular dog-friendly beach, is just outside. Staying with me, your doggo will get to play on the beach, swim in the sea and meet other dogs at least twice a day, if that's what they're into, though there are some quieter spots nearby too if needed. My door pretty much opens into Youngs Park, which is a wonderful green space perfect for regular comfort breaks and a good run around. My home is most suitable for small and medium sized dogs but larger ones may be ok if they're particularly calm, or it's a short stay :) I have experience looking after critters with all kinds of needs, including rescue dogs and cats, and very young or elderly pets. I have been involved with wildlife rescue and rehabilitation and have experience of caring for animals requiring regular medication, specific dietary needs or some form of nursing back to health. I particularly love training and building confidence and am very patient with all the animals in my care. Even my pet rats have learned tricks in the past! More recently I've been boarding dogs for friends and gaining experience on Rover and have learned how to help them settle into a new environment and keep their minds off missing home.
Reviews
Charlie and Elsa just finished another long stay with Hatty over Easter. As always, they were superbly cared for and looked after while we were away. It's great to be able to go away and know that our dogs are being given the usual five-star treatment!
Hatty is a lovely lady who is very passionate and loving of all our furry friends. Perfect location for walks. Regularly updated me with pics. She let me reschedule meets often as I was having a hectic time. My mad labrador managed to hurt her claw in Hattys care and she let me know about it instantly and took special care of my dog, cleaning and wrapping it up for us until we came back. My dog is an overgrown puppy so she is very accident prone. Would recommend and will be using her services again. Thankyou 🙏
Can't recommend Hatty enough. We have used Hatty several times to look after Rufus (and Poppy before she passed away) and she looked after them amazingly. We were kept informed through messages and pictures the whole time we were away how they were doing and they loved spending time with her.
Once again, Hatty was brilliant caring for our dogs while we were away. Charlie the Jack Russell has stayed with Hatty several times before, but it was the first time being away from home for Elsa the Cavapoo - and everything went really well. We had regular updates and photos from Hatty, and Charlie and Elsa had lots of walks, play, attention and cuddles! It is so nice to be able to go away and not have to worry about how the dogs are doing, knowing they are in very safe and capable hands :-)

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
Because the area is so popular with dog walkers, I prefer to look after dogs that are well socialised and happy to walk around other dogs, but there are no dogs or cats currently living with me. I do have some small pets that live in a cage but these would never come into contact with your pet, for everyone's safety. Dogs are very welcome to snuggle up on the sofa with me in the evenings. My loft bed isn't very accessible for 4 legged friends but if your dog prefers to be close to people in the night, I'm happy to sleep at ground level with them. I understand that being separated from your pet can be difficult so I will always stay in touch and keep you updated with pictures of your doggo having a great time!
Home
Information Hatty W. would like to know about your pet
I will do my best to adapt and find a routine that works well for your pet and would love to hear about anything they particularly love to do, or need to avoid. Ideally it would be great to meet up ahead of time to get to know each other, make sure its going to be a good fit and find out about anything I need to know.
A typical day
Every day with me will start with a morning walk, in the park or on the beach, where your doggo can run, dig, fetch, swim or play with the other dogs around, or they can just have a leisurely sniff about, if that's more their speed. There'll be a quick rinse off in the bath after if necessary :) We'll take regular breaks outside during the day, and take another longer wander in the evening, before snuggling up for the night.

I work from home and set my own schedule so will always be around to keep your pet company and I have the flexibility to cater to their needs as and when suits them best. Dogs staying with me get a couple of walks per day and regular comfort breaks outside.
