Softie in Southampton . . . all dogs welcome!

Pet care experience

I've had dogs around me all my life, my grandparents had dogs, my parents had dogs and i've had 8 thus far in my lifetime. I'm at my happiest when out and about with my dog. My family think i'm a dog whisperer as at least 2 have had behavioral problems when we got them but soon settled after some love and training. I believe dogs need routines and a strong person to bring out the best in them. I have a car and a van which I use for transporting the dogs. Locally we have common land and the seaside as you can see from the pictures I've attached. I am also a volunteer with the Cinnamon Trust based in Cornwall, they offer support to older people who need short term help with their pets. We have a large fully enclosed garden with plenty of little nooks and crannies for nosy dogs to explore. Whatever the size or breed we love dogs and would welcome the opportunity to care for yours sometime soon.

Karen was brave enough to take on our Cocker Spaniel young dog Robbie for a week. Knowing his personality and his love of humans we felt staying in another home was much more suited to him than staying in a kennel. It was Robbie's first time staying away from home, and I was a little anxious, but I didn't need to be. Karen is calm and practical and for a young dog who has a lot to say, this was a comfort for us! She provided several updates during our absence including photos and Robbie has returned from his holiday a happy dog - and this makes us happy owners! Wouldn't hesitate in recommending Karen

We left Bailey our 6 month old Labrador puppy for 12 nights with Karen. She has been brilliant, kept us up to date with photos and info. Bailey loved her, and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her. A big thank you Karen.

2 happy chocolates stayed with Karen almost as if they have been going every week for years!! A big thank you especially as I can get on with working through out the day knowing they are in good hands all day. 5 star day care!
