Highlights
Pet care experience
Their home away from home 🐾
Your dog will be treated like my own! I’ve had dogs big and small all my life and moved from the city to the countryside at the beginning of the year to give my dog the best possible life, with plenty of space, fresh air and freedom to explore. I’ve also been dog sitting throughout this time. I live in a secure countryside home with lots of outdoor space, giving dogs plenty of room to play, relax and enjoy themselves. They’ll have lots of company, attention, cuddles and a safe, loving environment throughout their stay. They’ll also have Blu, my incredibly loving and gentle Great Dane, as their four-legged friend. He absolutely loves having other dogs around and is happiest with a friend to play and relax with. I’d love to give your dog a true home away from home, filled with love, companionship and space to enjoy.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Katie is a big dog lover especially for her big Great Dane Blu! I would definitely recommend her to friends and family, wouldn’t hesitate to put my trust in her again after she did a great job looking after our dogs. Thanks Katie!
I was initially nervous about trusting someone else with my dog given he’s only young and never been to day care, but Katie and Blue made him feel completely at home. He loved having so much space to play in the garden and got on brilliantly Blue. He always comes back knackered, looking forward to seeing what he gets up to next month!
Katie is an enthusiastic dog lover & trusted sitter, offering extra love, care and attention whenever possible! Her awareness of my dogs needs has been massively noted & appreciated.
We’ve had perfect experiences with Katie! Her communication was excellent and she sent regular updates and photos throughout the stay. Our dog absolutely loves visiting Katie's and spending time with her dog Blu, who is the most gentle boy. Highly recommend!
Had such a great experience, our dog was well looked after. We had regular updates and photos, giving us peace of mind while away. Wouldn’t hesitate to book again. Thanks Katie and Blu 😁

Schedule
I work fully remotely with a very flexible schedule, which means I’m around throughout the day and can give your pup plenty of attention, company and breaks so they’re never left alone. I usually head out for a long dog walk at lunchtime or after work, often around the secure Clytha (2 mins away). If you’re happy for me to take your pup, I’d be more than happy to include these walks at no extra cost. Expect plenty of ball throwing, exploring, playing in the River Usk and lots of doggy socialising! My weekends are very much centred around dogs - whether that’s discovering new walking spots, visiting dog-friendly cafés or even heading to a friendly dog show. I’m happy to fit your pup into my lifestyle and adapt to their individual routine, personality and needs so they feel as comfortable and settled as possible. I’m also available for overnight stays, including weekends, and can be flexible with drop-off and collection times. I can also do pick ups if required depending on distance 🐶🤍
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Your dog’s safety will be my priority - My home is accessed via a private driveway with a secure metal gate at the entrance, followed by around 1km of private driveway before reaching my secure country home. I have a large garden and plenty of space indoors, so your dog can have their own quiet room and safe space to settle into if they need some downtime. I also have Blu, my gentle giant Great Dane, who absolutely adores other dogs. If you choose to book with me, I’d love to arrange a meet-and-greet beforehand so you and your pup can meet us, get to know Blu and make sure everyone is comfortable together before their stay. Dogs are very much part of the family in my home, and I want your pup to feel like this is their home too. Whether that means curling up on the sofa in front of the fire, following me upstairs while I do the washing or simply finding their favourite spot to relax, they’ll have plenty of freedom to settle into our home - unless you’d prefer otherwise. I’ll also keep you updated throughout their stay with photos and messages, so you can see how they’re settling in, what adventures we’ve been on and, most importantly, that they’re happy, relaxed and having the best time!
Pets
A typical day
Aside from the endless supply of toys to play with, I’ll dedicate time throughout the day to high-reward training and plenty of praise, as well as lots of playtime in the spacious garden. I can also take them on an adventure to Clytha, a gorgeous, secure area just 2 minutes from my home, with safe spaces for a paddle, secure open fields to explore and plenty of friendly dogs to meet and socialise with, including my own gentle giant, Blu.
