Pet care experience

Dog lover with my own spaniel!

Hi! My name is Katie and I live on my own with my dog Dexter, who is a cocker spaniel who is 5 but still very high energy! I’ve been on rover for a few years but have recently moved to Tunbridge Wells with Dex. I live in central Tunbridge Wells and tend to split my walks across the parks in the town and woods/forests nearby!

Doggy Day Care • Jun 10, 2026

Loken had lots of fun with Katie and Dexter and came back a happy boy. Was also great to receive updates throughout the day.

Charlie’s first stay with Katie and her lovely bouncy Dexter. He cried when I left him but I had an update video 10 minutes later and he was having a great time on a walk. He’s clearly had a very good day and didn’t want to leave. Would recommend and definitely book again.

Boarding • Oct 30, 2024

This was Lily's first stay with Katie, partner and resident dogs. We had regular daily updates, which was reassuring and Lily appeared to settle very quickly, Lily even designated herself a favourite spot on the sofa. Lily came home happy and contented, and we were happy that she had been well looked after. I would recommend Katie for doggy care and use her again, many thanks.

Schedule

I work from home mostly throughout the week and have a very flexible schedule throughout the day, but tend to walk Dex both in the morning and at lunch time. I really enjoying walking, so expect a very tired and exercised dog on their return! (approx 1.5-2 hours walking per day) along with lots of pictures and updates on how their day is going. I’m happy to discuss our schedule and adapt it to what works best for your dog.

Safety, trust & environment

I usually take Dex out for three toilet breaks a day. I have my own amenities including long lines and extendable leads if needed. I also have a car for walks a little further away from home or any assistance with pick up/drop off Lastly, if you book doggy day care or boarding my dog will be present. He’s very well socialised and easy going and loves to be around other dogs with a similar nature. However, if your dog doesn’t enjoy being around other dogs, this may not be suitable. Happy to answer any questions you may have and we’re looking forward to welcoming your doggo to our home 😊 - Enhanced DBS checked - At home full time, your dog will never be left alone - 1-2 hours walks per day

Pets

How is your dog with other dogs? Would they feel comfortable and enjoy being with another dog for the day/s? Do they walk on or off lead, and if off lead - how is their recall? What’s their normal routine at home? We’ll try to keep it relatively similar if possible!
