Mature Dog Loving Couple

Myself and my husband have grown up with dogs and have embraced them into our family life.Mainly large, male dogs some with challenging behaviour issues. We have recently lost our much loved dog in a tragic accident and consequently we have started to look after friends and family's pets and have really enjoyed this and want it to continue. We live in a nice, semi rural area with a multitude of walks on our doorstep.

I highly recommend Kath and her husband. They are absolutely wonderful and you can tell how much they love dogs. They’ve just looked after our staffy for two and half weeks and he had the best time and was so well cared for. We’ve never left Chico for so long with a dog sitter and naturally it is something you worry about. We did a meet up with Kath and her husband prior to booking and immediately knew that Chico would be safe and cared for with them. Chico was immediately at ease with them and they have a lovely garden. They treated Chico like one of the family and he enjoyed visiting their caravan and going on his own holiday while he was there. Chico is getting older and has quite a few health problems. He takes lots of medication and Kath and her husband made sure it was all kept on top of. I loved receiving the update photos. It put my mind at ease and was lovely to see when we were missing him. Absolutely the best of the best. He came home so relaxed, healthy and happy. Thank you so much for looking after our boy.

Kath and her husband put us at ease straight away when meeting our dog. So welcoming and lovely. Badger has had a wonderful few days which included plenty of playtime, walks and splashing in water. Thank you again.

Kath was very responsive, warm and welcoming. Alfie was well looked after and enjoyed his stay. Lots of walks, swimming and enrichment. Would highly recommend, and we will use them again next time.

We have an almost 3 year old Labrador who adores staying with Kath! We get photos and videos of his adventures, his long walks, runs in the big garden and his lots of cuddles. It's often hard to get him home! Ted has a medical condition meaning his diet is very restricted. Kath ensures to check every time he stays with her around what he can and can't eat and goes above and beyond to make sure he's a happy boy and respects the boundries we have in place around his training. Kath is kind and you can tell she absolutely loves dogs of all shapes and sizes! We'll be forever thankful for her always find the time to take care of our boy.

Kath has a natural connection with animals.Her love of nature and walking makes dog walking joyful for her. Having had dogs herself she is very aware that dogs also need a cosy home with lots of love and attention, all of which Kath can give. My own dog always runs to meet her knowing that it means extra cuddle time. Valerie S.

Kath is trustworthy and brilliant with Lui. It gives me a peace of mind leaving Lui with Kath when we are away as I know he will be well looked after. Thanks Kath.
