Helping dogs feel at home away 🐶
Hi, I’m Katie 👋 and I provide calm, home-based boarding and daycare for your pup. Many of the dogs I look after are staying away from home for the first time, so I focus on helping them settle in gradually with a consistent routine, plenty of reassurance, and regular updates for you. I work from home, so I’m around throughout the day for company, toilet breaks, and play. I also have a secure, fenced garden where your pup can safely enjoy outdoor time between walks and snoozes. I’m an active person and enjoy long walks, so if your dog loves exercise they’ll get plenty of it. Equally, if they prefer a quieter routine with cuddles and downtime, I adapt fully to their usual habits. I regularly care for small companion breeds such as Cavapoos and Cockapoos, and I understand the importance of helping sensitive or closely bonded dogs feel secure when they’re away from home. You’ll receive regular photo and message updates while your dog is with me, so you always know how they’re settling and what their day looks like.

Ratings and reviews
Katie is very friendly and Molly warmed up to Katie very quickly. Katie took Molly on a lovely walks, played with her and gave her lots of attention. Thank you for your excellent communication and pictures sent 🥰
Katie was friendly, confident and professional. Ripley - our dog - clearly enjoyed her visit and we are very very happy. Thank you so much!
Katie was absolutely fantastic, couldn’t be happier with her communication & care she gave to Hartley! As it was our first time leaving him with someone other than family I was super nervous but Katie made me feel totally at ease about everything. She met up with us for a walk to meet Hartley prior to our booking & then the lovely photo updates, and messages whilst he was with Katie were so sweet! It’s clear to tell he has a fantastic time, and has had so much love and fuss. He’s looking forward to staying with Katie again ☺️🧡
Kiwi was very well looked after by Katie!
Tyson had a fantastic stay with Katie. Tyson got quite comfortable at her home. We got updates throughout the stay. Would definitely recommend Katie!
Katie looked after Wilfy so well and she obviously knew a lot about dogs . I was initially nervous about booking anyone to look after him as he had never been with anyone else for a day and was still young but within a few seconds of meeting Katie i felt confident and was kept updated throughout the day.He came back happy and content.We will be booking Katie from now on and know our pup will have a great day

Schedule
I work from home most days a week with a flexible schedule for your furry friends to slot into. I'm a keen runner so your pooch can expect lots of long walks and cuddles.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have a fenced, secure garden with grass for your dog to run around. I have a flexible schedule so I can take your dogs needs into consideration when they're staying with me (early risers, sofa cuddlers, prefer a quiet environment).
A typical day
I want to make sure your pet feel settled, so we'll look at what routine will work best while you're away. Lots of walks, stimulation and snoozes.
