My days follow a calm, consistent routine that balances activity and rest. Dogs in my care are included alongside my own, with regular outdoor time, play and countryside walks suited to their energy levels. There’s always time to relax as well, so dogs can settle into a comfortable, low-stress environment. I adapt the day to suit each dog, whether they prefer to be active and social or enjoy a quieter pace.

About Katherine J.
Dog skills
Safety, trust & environment
Care is provided exclusively in my home, creating a safe, calm and personalised “home-from-home” environment. Dogs will have access to both the family space as well as a dedicated annex for cosy comfort, rest and quiet time, along with about 2 acres of fully secure outdoor lawn and woodland space for safe roaming, play and exploration. For everyone’s safety, I require a meet-and-greet in advance to ensure dogs are happy in the environment and get along well with my two dogs. I’m only able to accept dogs that are friendly and well socialised, and am happy to accommodate exclusive bookings upon request. I can also provide regular updates and photos, so you can feel confident your dog is happy, settled and well cared for.

Information Katherine J. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know your dog’s routine, preferences and any quirks or needs upfront so I can ensure they have the happiest and most comfortable stay.
A typical day
A typical day is relaxed, structured and centred around the dogs. Mornings usually start with time outside in the secure garden and woodland, followed by walks in the surrounding countryside depending on each dog’s energy levels. Throughout the day, dogs have plenty of opportunities to roam, play and explore safely, balanced with time to rest and settle either in the family home or a quieter space if they prefer. I keep the environment calm and low-stress, so dogs can feel comfortable and at ease.

Pet care experience
Hello, I’m Katie, and I understand how important it is to find the right person to care for your dog, so you can have real peace of mind while you’re away. I’ve grown up with dogs and currently have two of my own, a chocolate Labrador and a Border Terrier, so I’m very used to different personalities and needs. My Border Terrier can be anxious in unfamiliar environments, which has given me a good understanding of how to support dogs who need a bit more patience and reassurance. I’ve also cared for dogs for friends and family, including day care and holiday stays, and I’m comfortable supporting dogs with additional needs such as medication or minor care.
Reviews
Our lovely Labrador always has the best time staying with Katie! She absolutely loves the large outdoor space, especially the woodland area and the surrounding fields for walks—it’s like a little doggy paradise. She gets on so well with Katie’s dogs and clearly feels right at home. We also know she enjoys the occasional tasty dog treat while she’s there! We always feel completely at ease leaving her with Katie and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her.
