Pet care experience

I just love dogs!

Your dog will be well cared for whether they are boarding with me overnight, for the day or being taken out for a walk. I live near a canal and there are plenty of local walks to keep your dog fit, well and happy! Your pet will have company for the whole time and will not be left alone during boarding. I have a secure garden where they can play and they are free to run around. The more information you can give me about your pet's routines, the better, so that I can help them to settle quickly. You won't need to worry about your pet when they are in my care as they will be having fun, however after previously owning dogs myself I know only too well that owners can be anxious - so feel free to call me at any time or alternatively I am more than happy to upload photographs for you to see what we're up to during your pet's 'holiday'!

Luna stayed with Karen for the second time yesterday. Karen put us at ease with lots of messages and photographs and again we would highly recommend Karen for her care of our Luna, who means so much to us. Thank you Karen, see you soon.

I wouldn’t leave Hugo with anyone else. He loves going there as they cherish, love and cater to his every need physically and emotionally. He truly could not be in better hands! We feel truly blessed to have found them, and I don’t say that lightly.

So anxious about leaving our precious Luna but, we needn’t have been. Karen put us at ease. Her and Luna hit it off straight away. Karen is absolutely loving, caring, devoted and we trust her 100%. Thank you Karen. We will see you again soon. Xx

Hugo has been cherished and loved like one of their own giving him 100 percent devotion! Words cannot describe how lucky we have been to find them both and Auntie Karen and Uncle Kevin are now part of Hugo’s family. Hugo has never stayed with anyone before, settled in immediately for daily and overnight transitions before we left him for a weeks holiday. They truly are animal lovers and I guarantee you cannot find anyone better to love and cherish your dog keeping you more than regularly updated with texts and wonderful photos! Cannot thank them enough xx

Schedule

I currently have limited availability until August (please check my calendar out) but I will be home full-time from September onwards. It's best to try to book ahead as far as possible to ensure you get the dates you want. It's always worth putting in a request even if the dates don't appear to work out exactly as you would like and I will try to be flexible if at all possible.

Safety, trust & environment

My garden is secure and dogs can play freely, always supervised, in fact your dog will never be left alone whilst in my care. Dogs will always be kept on the lead whilst out on walks unless I have specific permission from the owner to let them off the lead (only for dogs who are well-known to me). For drop-in visits I am able to follow any specific requests regarding a usual routine for your dog so that they feel safe and cared for in their environment.

A typical day

Canal towpath, woods, hills, river.......the list is endless! I'm more than happy to upload photographs of our adventures during the day / overnight stays so that you can relax knowing your dog is not only well cared for, but having fun too!

0 to 7 kg
7 to 18 kg
No females in heat
Takes only one pet owner at a time
Karen can host up to 1 dog per day
I'd like to know the dog's usual routines, when and what they are fed, dos and don'ts ie do they like children or not so that I am better prepared when out walking. How far do they like to walk? Vet's contact details and any medication. Does your dog prefer to be let out during the night or are they content until the morning? What time do they usually settle at night/get up in the morning etc - and any commands you usually use, English or Welsh!
