Pet care experience
Experienced Dog Owner
I am an experienced, reliable dog lover offering a safe, calm and caring home-from-home for your dog. I’ve had dogs for many years and have experience with a range of breeds, ages and temperaments, including senior dogs. I lost my two elderly dogs last year, and I really miss having dogs around. My home is quiet and well-suited to dogs who prefer a relaxed environment, with my children now 17 and 18. I have a secure garden and live just two minutes from Upton Country Park, so your dog will enjoy plenty of walks and outdoor time. I offer boarding, weekend stays and holiday care, and I’m happy to stick closely to your dog’s usual routine. I’ll also send regular updates and photos so you can relax while you’re away. I treat every dog as if they were my own and aim to give you complete peace of mind.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Katrina was great with our Rottie and Golden Retriever, including taking care of their dietary requirements and medication. I don’t think they wanted to come home! Recommended.
Katrina is a kind hearted and competent animal lover who looked after our dog (a needy cockapoo) and our elderly cat. Both loved her and we felt happy and reassured that they were in safe hands. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her and will be booking again in the future.

Schedule
I work locally (Monday–Friday) and am home around 50% of the time. When I’m not home, one or both of my children (17 and 18) are usually in, and they are confident and experienced with dogs, having grown up with them. At weekends, I’m home most of the time, so your dog will have plenty of company, attention, and longer walks. Your dog will have regular company, attention, and access to the garden for toilet breaks throughout the day, and will rarely be left alone.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a calm, secure home environment with a fully enclosed garden for safe outdoor time. I ensure dogs are settled and comfortable, whether relaxing indoors or enjoying walks nearby. I stick closely to each dog’s usual routine, including feeding, exercise, and any specific needs. I only take a limited number of dogs at one time to ensure each one receives plenty of attention and care. I always check with owners regarding how their dog is with others, and I’m happy to care for dogs separately if they are more comfortable being the only dog. I’m always happy to follow your instructions so your dog feels as at home as possible. I have space for a crate if your dog prefers it for sleeping or relaxing, or large cushions for those who prefer a more open setup.
