Pet care experience
I've grown up with dogs and my parents breed rough collies so the house has always been full. We have two dogs ourselves that are 6 (a Shetland sheepdog male and a beagle bitch) so we have a range of experience with different breeds, including high maintenance breeds we (yes I'm talking about our beagle!).
Reviews
Flo has once again enjoyed staying with Katy and her family. Thank you for taking such great care of her - it’s so great to be able to leave her with peace of mind that she is happy and well looked after. Thanks again!
Massive thank you to Katy and her lovely family for taking such great care of Flo while we were on holiday. From when we dropped her off until we picked her up, everything was very calm and organised. Flo had obviously been very happy during her stay and showed absolutely no signs of distress when we picked her up which was amazing as this was the first time we had left Flo, and it seemed like she was part of Katy’s family she’d fitted in so well. I can’t recommend Katy enough and we will definitely be booking her in the future when we need someone to look after Flo. Thank you Katy!!
Flo has just been for a trial night with Katy and her family before her 2 week stay. She seemed completely happy when I picked her up and we are now feeling able to go on holiday without worrying about her. Thanks to Katy and her family for taking good care of Flo!
Great experience with Katy and family. Fabulous calm and controlled introduction and handover, providing confidence that Cassie was in safe hands; regular updates and photos. Thanks Katy and family and especially Molly and Charlie for providing a home from home for her. Highly recommended ?

Safety, trust & environment
Our dogs are incredibly friendly and can't get enough of other animals. Both our dogs are crated overnight so happy for you to bring your dog's crate to help keep their routine and surroundings like they are at home. We have a fully enclosed garden our beagle can't escape from, we are a 2 minute walk away from a disused golf course and 10 minutes from Urmston Meadows, both of which are great for long walks.

Information Katy B. would like to know about your pet
We'd love to look after your furry pal, but before we confirm anything we'd like to check what they're like first (temperament, likes, dislikes, how they are with young kids). We also ask to meet beforehand so we can make sure our dogs gets on with yours and the kids. It's important to us that everyone is comfortable with the arrangement.
A typical day
Because we have two young kids and two fairly energetic dogs there is alot going on at our house most of the time. If your dog is more suited to a calm environment in order to settle we may not be be most suitable sitters for you. They're are so many tennis balls strewn around our garden for your pup to sniff out. Bring their favourite toy for us to play with or let them pick from our dog toys (they are mostly indestructible balls and bones though as Molly just pulls out the stuffing when we get her soft toys).

Katy can host
Availability
Both my husband and I predominantly work from home, although we do go into the office once a week. Generally, at least one of us is home during the day and if we are out, it's not for long periods (upto 4 hours). Our dogs can be left for long periods but that doesn't happen often
