Pet care experience

I’ve taken care of my dog and friends dogs’ for the last 7 years. They’ll be looked after like they are my own with lots of walks and cuddles. We have a very large garden that they can play in between walks and quiet places in our house. Unfortunately, due to allergies I can only look after hypoallergenic dogs in the house.

Karen and Simon were great with our two dogs during an exceptionally hot week of over 30°C. They made sure walks were done early before it got too warm, kept us updated with lovely photos, checked with us before giving treats, and asked thoughtful questions about toys and care. It was clear throughout that our dogs were treated as part of their family and their wellbeing was always the priority. We came home to two very happy, relaxed dogs and felt completely reassured while we were away. Thank you both for your kindness, care and attention.

I am very happy leaving Alfie with Karen and her family. She makes a fantastic effort to make him feel at home. She kept me updated with photos and he loves playing with her dog. I would strongly recommend her.

A contented and tired pup is always a good sign of a great stay. This is Coco’s second time staying with Karen and I would highly recommend. A proper home from home with Karen who is always so calm, encouraging and great communication with photos of their adventures, which are always lovely to see.
