Loving family pet care for your furry friends

I’ve grown up with pets and looked after both my own and family & friends dogs, walking, feeding and playing with them to enhance their happiness. I feel dogs are an important part of our family so we include them in most things we do.

Kathy and her husband are so lovely with Orla - I feel totally confident leaving her with them. I will happily use her again.

Kathy and Ian were excellent. I’d never left Gwen with anyone before but felt completely confident even before a Meet & Greet and had regular updates throughout her stay. Can’t recommend them highly enough!

Monty loves his stay with you and it allowed us to enjoy my 80th Bithday Party which went so well.

Kathys home is an excellent “home away from home”, great communication, lots of cuddles and walks and we loved our updates with photos. Our dog is extremely happy and settled at Kathy’s. Will be recommending to all my friends.

This is I think Hanks fourth or fifth stay with Kathy & Ian . Every single time he stays I know he is in wonderful hands and will be looked after extremely well . Hank has great walkies , great sleepies & amazing cuddles with them . We get daily updates which we love receiving . When we are on our holidays it's such a comfort knowing Hank is having fantastic holidays of his own . Hank adores being with Kathy & Ian but also their pups Zinzee & Fudge. I can't recommend them highly enough ....they adore having the pooches and do an amazing job . Thank you so much for having doods again Kathy & Ian ❤️❤️

Schedule

I no longer work, so available most of the time. Please note that we will be away for a month from 26th September and will have limited access to a phone signal for the first 3 weeks. I will be checking any messages when I have a connection and will respond as soon as I’m able. I occasionally look after my grandchildren, but only when we have suitable dogs. Our dogs are included in most things we do and your loved ones will be treated the same.

A typical day

We’ll have lots of fun together playing and walking. I like to mix up our walks to be more interesting with lots of different smells. Some days we’ll go to the beach and others in the woods or on the downs. We also have a green outside our house.
