Pet care experience
Having grown up with rescue dogs in the family home and now having one of our own, we have a huge passion for dogs and would love to host your pooches. We rescued Gussy from Romania and whilst he is hesitant of humans, he thrives in another dogs company. We've spent lots of time with a behaviourist to help Gus adjust to living indoors and making sure he is happy, but trained, when out and about. This has given us a great understanding of dog behaviour and also allowed us to feel a great sense of empathy for those that didn't have the best start to life. As we both work from home, we have made the decision to join Rover and are incredibly excited to meet dogs from all walks of life. We are those type of people that say hello to dogs before humans and usually shriek with excitement just by seeing a 10/10 good boy/girl on the street. We walk Gus twice daily and so any energy level of dog/puppy will be cared for. We also make sure to do lots of enrichment with Gus every day so he is mentally stimulated, aswell as physically - Which makes for a nice sleepy pup whilst we work from home. We'd be more than happy to incorporate your pooch in with this should you wish. Our home is in a quiet cul de sac. We have a fully fenced garden and are equipped with stair gates, crates, beds, toys, bowls, snuffle mats, kongs etc - anything your pooch could need!
Reviews
This was the first time I've ever booked a dog sitter for my little girl Lola and I cant express just how great Katie was .. I felt very comfortable and happy meeting her for the first time today and picking up one very happy and content dog 4 hours later .. I highly recommend Katie and her gorgeous fur baby Gus to anyone who wants their baby to be well looked after Thankyou Katie x
Monty stayed with Katie today for his first ever doggy day care! Looks like he had an absolute blast, we always know he’s in good hands with Katie :)
I can’t recommend Katie enough! Left my pup with Katie for the first time yesterday to go out in London and obviously had some jitters - but Katie put my mind at ease straight away! Lots of photos and updates & also came round before the visit to meet myself and pup - she is just lovely ?
So grateful to Katie for walking Lily. She was caring, diligent and clearly loves doing this. Lily loved it too.

We have a fully fenced garden and a medium sized dog crate if needed. We also have 2 stair gates, that can be used to separate dogs should that be required. Gus gets on incredibly well with other dogs.

Information Katie R. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your dog has any specific behaviours or ailments that I'd need to be aware of. It would be my preference to arrange a meet and greet ahead of the booking, to ensure your dog and Gus are happy around each other.
A typical day
We love to walk around Butts Close or the Rugby Club in the morning, followed with a stroll into town for a coffee at lunchtime. On the weekends, we enjoy a longer walk - such as Oughtonhead Common, Pegsdon Hills or Hitchwood. We do lots of enrichment with Gus on a daily basis - including slow feeders, puzzles, snuffle mats, scentwork and kongs. We always make time for cuddles (if your pooch is up for that)!

Availability
Our typical daily routine is waking up, going on a 30min walk, which is then followed by breakfast. We then begin working from home, where Gus and dogs we host are able to relax and snooze. At lunch, we then have cuddles, some enrichment and another short walk. After the afternoon of working whilst your pup naps, we will do one final short walk and give dinner.
