Highlights
Pet care experience
Experienced dog lover ☺️
I've had dogs my whole life and currently have two friendly, well-socialised dogs of my own. I regularly help care for my neighbours' dogs while they're at work, providing walks, companionship, feeding and plenty of attention. I genuinely love spending time with dogs and understand how important it is to know your pet is safe, happy and well cared for. I currently only work on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, so I'm available most other days for dog walks, drop-in visits and boarding. For boarding, dogs would need to be comfortable around children, as I have two dog-savvy children who have grown up around dogs and know how to interact with them respectfully. My own dogs are very friendly and enjoy the company of other dogs, helping visiting pets feel welcome and at home. I will care for your dog as if they were one of my own, making sure they receive lots of love, attention, exercise and cuddles while you're away. I also only work term time so I’m at home full time during the school holidays ☺️

Ratings and reviews
Looked after Nala so well, sent me lots of pictures of her having the best time, great communication and super friendly, would 100% recommend xx
I was so happy to see my doggy in such a lovely household, surrounded by happy, and genuinely nice people. She made friends and was cherished with patience and care. You could see the happiness on her face when was time to leave that she enjoyed the holiday. Will rebook again, with trust!
Holly has taken care of my dog Roxy many times. She is always really good with Roxy, showing her lots of kindness and attention. It has been great to be able to rely on Holly's help.

Schedule
Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine as I already care for my own two dogs every day. I am fully available on Mondays, Thursdays and Fridays for walks, drop-in visits and boarding. On Tuesdays and Wednesdays I work from 8:30am until 3:30pm, but I'm available after work. I also only work term time so there are periods where I am home full time, my husband also works from home on a Tuesday and is in the local area on wednesdays usually so our dogs are never left alone much at all which will be the same for your pet 🙂. Weekends are usually spent with my family enjoying local parks, beaches and countryside walks, and any dogs staying with us are welcome to join our adventures. If we're visiting somewhere that isn't dog-friendly, we're usually only out for a few hours at a time.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Your dog's safety, comfort and happiness are my top priorities. We have a large, secure garden with high fencing, giving dogs plenty of space to play and explore safely. I live in a lovely area of County Durham with access to lots of beautiful walking routes, parks and open spaces. I have two friendly, well-socialised dogs who enjoy the company of other dogs, helping visiting pets feel relaxed and at home. I also have two dog-savvy children who have grown up around dogs and understand how to interact with them respectfully. I will follow your dog's usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, exercise needs and any special requirements, so they feel comfortable and settled while in my care.

A typical day
We have a lovely fenced garden with a good sized lawn for them to enjoy, in the summer we usually just leave the door open for our dogs to enjoy it as they please. I take my dogs out twice a day, we have some lovely walks in our area.
