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.😊🐾

Ratings and reviews
Katie was just amazing. So kind and loving towards Mika. She was able to put Mika at ease with in a few minutes. Throughout Mika's stay with Katie we received regular updates on how Mika was doing which reassured us that she was being well looked after. We couldn't thank Katie enough. Thank you Katie. ⚘️❤️
Katie has been amazing! We're so happy we chose her to take care of Bamba and Jelly! She sent us daily updates, always with pictures and made us feel so relaxed and reassured. They both looked so happy and relaxed. Her messages made us see that she really got to know Bamba and Jelly. She identidied by herslf what each of them like to play with and who likes to do long walks and who likes to stay and bath in the sun :) We highly recommend her and will definetily bring them to Katie again on our next vacation!
Katie was absolutely brilliant! She was extremely organised from start to finish and took such great care of Brownie. She kept us really well informed throughout, which gave us complete peace of mind, and sent us lots of lovely pictures and updates. It was clear that Brownie was happy, comfortable and very well looked after. We wouldn’t hesitate to book Katie again and would highly recommend her!
Frankie absolutely loves it at Katie’s! I can tell she’s so comfortable and having the best time from the pictures Katie sends me.
This was Frankie’s first time with a sitter, so I was naturally quite nervous. From the booking stage, Katie made me feel completely at ease by answering any question I had and putting my mind at rest. During Frankie’s stay, she kept me updated with photos and messages throughout the day, which was so reassuring. Frankie looked so comfortable, happy, and well cared for, and it was clear he had a wonderful time. I’ll definitely be booking Katie regularly. I couldn’t recommend her more highly!
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.

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!
