10+Yrs Loving Dog Care❤️🐾

I’m a dedicated and experienced dog sitter with over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, including puppies, senior dogs, and those recovering from surgery. I have also owned both a French Bulldog and a Poodle, which gave me valuable experience with very different personalities and care needs. Although my own dogs don’t currently live with me, my love for dogs and understanding of their individual needs remain as strong as ever. I work as a freelancer from home, which means I have a flexible schedule and spend most of my day at home. Your dog will receive plenty of companionship, attention, and supervision throughout their stay, with very little time left alone. This helps dogs settle in more easily and feel safe and relaxed away from home. I offer a calm, loving, and home-from-home environment where every dog is treated like part of the family. I keep my boarding small, with only a few dogs at a time, so I can give each dog the individual care and attention they deserve. There is also a secure garden for playtime, sniffing adventures, and relaxing in the sunshine. I understand that leaving your furry family member with someone new can feel worrying, so I provide regular updates and photos to give you peace of mind and let you see how much fun your dog is having during their stay. Your pet deserves the very best care, and I would love to welcome them into my home and make them feel happy, safe, and loved while you’re away.😊🐾

Katie has been so flexible and responsive, a real pleasure. Lots of photos during the day, and my dog was excited to return the next week. Thank you. Would confidently recommend.

Katie looked after our dog Hugo for a week while we were away, and we couldn't have been happier with the experience. Communication throughout the week was excellent. Katie kept us updated regularly with messages and photos, which gave us real peace of mind while we were on holiday. It was lovely to see Hugo having such a great time playing and socialising with the other dogs. When we collected him, he looked happy, relaxed and very well cared for. It was clear that he had been in safe and loving hands. We would highly recommend Katie to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter, and we will definitely be using her again in the future. Thank you so much!

Safety, trust & environment

Dog boarding & day-care: For dogs staying over night they will sleep in the bedroom with plenty of place, soft beddings and fresh water. Each dog receives individual care and affection, making them feel right at home. Nutritious feeding options ensure your dog stays energized and happy throughout the day. Optional grooming keeps your furry companion looking and feeling fabulous. Pet sitting: I offer pet visits tailored to your needs. The duration will be based on your pet’s requirements and your preferences. Stay connected with reports on your dog’s adventures, so you can share in their joy!

Tail-Wagging Days Filled with Fun! ❤️🐾 🐾 Supervised Play & Social Time Your furry friend will enjoy plenty of safe, supervised playtime, whether it’s making new friends or having one-to-one fun and cuddles. 🍽️ Mealtimes Tailored to Your Pet Meals are served according to your pet’s usual routine and dietary needs to help them feel comfortable and at home. 🌿 Regular Toilet Breaks & Garden Time Frequent trips to the garden and outdoor breaks ensure your pet stays happy, comfortable, and relaxed throughout the day. 🎾 Enrichment & Gentle Training From games and sniffing activities to basic obedience and socialisation, there’s plenty to keep curious minds engaged. 🛁 Grooming & Pampering Lots of brushing, cuddles, and a little pampering to keep your pet looking and feeling their best.

To help keep all dogs calm, settled, and safe, drop-offs and collections usually take place at the door and are kept brief. This is especially important when other dogs are present, as it helps reduce over-excitement and stress. For short stays or the first day of boarding, I focus on helping dogs settle into their new environment. Dogs have access to the garden for toileting and play, and walks may not always take place on the first day or during very bad weather. I’m always happy to follow specific routines or provide extra reassurance where needed. Please feel free to share any expectations, preferences, or questions before booking so I can make sure my care is the right fit for your dog. Clear communication helps create the best experience for everyone, thank you for your understanding.
