I gave up work 2 years ago so my whole day revolves my dogs. I’m at home full time so I have lots of time for any little dog that comes to stay. PLEASE NOTE I ONLY TAKE ON SMALL DOGS, APPROX 11KG MAX.

Safety, trust & environment
Dogs can go roam freely in my house downstairs. My garden is completely fenced in and is dog friendly. They will be supervised at all times. I will love any little dog like it’s my own. My husband and I both look after the little dogs that come to stay, if I need to nip out he will always be here and vice versa. Your little dog will never be left on their own at any time!

Information Karen R. would like to know about your pet
A dog’s routine is very important so I will always make sure they get the same from me. Veterinary info just in case of emergencies. PLEASE NOTE - Unfortunately I cannot board any male dog that hasn’t be neutered or any female dog in heat or due to be in heat. I cannot board any dog with really high levels of energy that need walked for miles. Preferably dogs that are happy with two or three 15/20 min walks per day. Owners are requested to provide the following for their stay: Food, dog bowls, poo bags, treats, toys, lead/harness/collar and dog beds.
A typical day
There’s plenty of toys here for the dogs. There’s a big recreation field that we can go for a walk. I have a fenced in pet friendly garden.

Alfie 26/03/26 RIP beautiful boy🌈
Pet care experience
I lost my beautiful Alfie (Lhasa Apso) on the 26/03/26 🌈 and I have a little Shih Tzu, Jake, who is really good with other dogs. He’s great with other dogs that come into my house
Reviews
Superb experience from start to finish! Toby was brilliantly cared for and got on famously with Karen’s two dogs. Wholeheartedly recommend and will definitely be booking in for another stay soon.
Karen and Mark are the loveliest, kindest couple and the best sitters you could ever find. They take such wonderful care of Lola and love her like their own dear little dogs Alfie and Jake. She is so happy and relaxed staying with them, a true home from home. I’m very lucky to have found Karen and Mark and so grateful for their care. Thanks a million both.
Karen and Mark are just brilliant with our dog. Really kind caring people. They took great care of our old pooch who likes a snuggle. I felt very confident that our old boy was being well cared for - Karen sends photos and updates which really put my mind at rest. Thank you Karen and Mark.
Karen and Mark are wonderful sitters. I couldn’t ask for better care for Lola. They always make Lola feel completely at home and she settles so well with them and Jake and Alfie. Karen updates me everyday with a photo and we can enjoy our holiday reassured that Lola is happy and doing great in such a loving home. Thank you both so much for taking such wonderful care of Lola!
