Katherine & Will W.

Experienced, outdoor, dog loving couple
Pet care experience
Hello! We are Kit and Will, have both grown up with dogs and are our friends pets favourite people to be looked after by. We both love venturing into the great outdoors and love having 4 legged companions with us. We both work flexibly from home and love the companionship during the day, and a good yomp throughout the day to get outside - again even better when accompanied by a 4 legged friend!
Reviews
Kit looked after our dog at our home for a week while we were out of the country and did a fantastic job. He’s a large breed (lab x German shepherd) and was still young and energetic at the time, but she kept him active and entertained, and made sure he was given the appropriate boundaries as we had specified. He was happy and well looked after on our return, and has even had his medication administered appropriately while we were away. She was clear upfront about our expectations (treats, exercise, interactions with other dogs) which helped us feel at ease leaving him. The house was also respected and looked after while we were gone, and there were no problems at all. Would absolutely use in future.
Katherine and Will have been brilliant with Bonnie. She's a tricky customer in that she is dog-reactive and can take a while to settle somewhere new, but these two made her feel right at home. They have a great setup for dogs, complete with a fenced back garden, and they've been really understanding of Bon's needs and how to handle them. Would 100% send our dog here again!
Katherine and Will are true dog people and have frequently looked after our two (very energetic, slightly mad) spaniels. They handle all that these two can throw at them (jumping, pulling, mud, lots of licks) with smiles on their faces and will ask to do it again at the end. They respect our boundaries when we've asked them to enforce certain things (i.e no throwing sticks) and know when to cue the dogs to practice their obedience. I trust them with my two pups any day, they treat them as if they were their own and all of them come back from a walk happy.
Kit and Will have been amazing with our dog Cooper - he comes home tired, happy and clearly loved for the day (lots of play). I don’t know what I’d do without them!

Home
Information Katherine & Will W. would like to know about your pet
Please could you let us know how your dogs recall and lead etiquette is, and if they are likely to chase small animals/other dogs. We are happy to lead walk exclusively if needed. We have a few house plants, please let us know if they need moving whilst we look after your pet. Any meds that they need to be given we can assist in giving them to your pet, any tricks that are required for them to take their medicine please let us know.
A typical day
We love the outdoors and are close to Blaise Castle, Ashton Court and Clifton Downs - this will be where we'll take your dog for a walk and play ball, hopefully that is enough to tire them out. If they require some more exercise we have an enclosed garden to play with your dog, and also experience in playing scent games around our home.
