Highlights
Pet care experience
Kind and loving pet care in a family home
We are Kate and Matt and we live in Hazel Grove with our two children. We first started doggy boarding way back in 2008 and Kate also started dog walking a year later. We had a lot of fun getting to know all kinds of fantastic dogs, but in 2013 we took a break to start our family. Now that our children are older (eleven and eight) we are all keen to get started again, meaning we offer a handy combination of a lot of experience but also a lot of availability as we build up the business again.

Ratings and reviews
The best pet sitter I have ever hired. It is very clear how much she loves animals. I never worried while I was away. Reliable, trustworthy, and excellent communications! Thanks so much for looking after Teddy. We will definitely be coming back again.
Kate is a super professional care provider who we felt completely comfortable leaving our pup with. She was so good with our energetic puppy and Kate and her family took brilliant care of her each week. Thanks again!
Wonderful with our dog! Will absolutely use them again.
Katherine is so lovely and took such wonderful care of our dog Otis during doggy day care. She was really amenable to our schedule and provided lots of photos/pieces of information for each day that she looked after him. We could tell at each pick up that Otis had a brilliant time! We look forward to hopefully booking with Katherine again in the future 😊🥰
Katherine and her family looked after Sally for a week while we were on holiday, and we couldn’t be happier. Sally was very well cared for, and we received great communication with frequent updates throughout. It gave us real peace of mind—highly recommend!
Thank you for having Poppy, she loves spending the day with you guys and always seems to get the sun! Communication and booking have been excellent- many thanks Hannah

Schedule
Kate works fully from home so is always around to make sure your pet doesn't get lonely. Matt also works from home three days a week, so they will have plenty of company.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
We have a fully fenced garden so your pet has space to play safely. We also have our own dog, Max, a cocker spaniel cross, to keep them company. Max sleeps in his crate in the utility room, where there is room for a friend (in their own crate or bed) if your dog likes company at night, or there is a choice of two other rooms downstairs if they prefer their own space. We suggest you bring their bed and favourite food and toys so they have their own familiar things around them, but these can also be provided if you prefer.
Pets
A typical day
A typical day starts with a walk on the playing field a few minutes' walk from our home, where Max likes to play with a ball and meet other dogs. Then it's home for breakfast and a snooze. Later on we'll go out again, this time further afield, to one of the great local parks - Torkington Park, Bramhall Park and Happy Valley are all walking distance. Then the children come home from school and it's playtime; Max loves to run around the garden with them and join in their games, but a quieter companion could always enjoy some more nap time instead. In the evening we all like to snuggle up on the sofa together.
