🐾 About Me: Hi, I’m Kerry! I work from home and live with my 4-month-old English Springer Spaniel, Tilly, and three children aged 9 and up. Our home has a large, secure garden perfect for play, and we’re lucky to be near beautiful woods for long, enriching walks. I’ve had a lifelong love of dogs, with over 15 years of personal pet care experience. We previously had two wonderful Cocker Spaniels who lived to 14 and 15 years old, so I understand the needs of both puppies and senior dogs. I’m confident in providing gentle care, companionship, and meeting individual pet needs—whether that’s exercise, play, or quiet time. Your dog will be treated like part of the family here, with plenty of attention, affection, and fun!

Ratings and reviews
Kerry looked after our Bernadoodle while our family had a wedding in Lulworth. She was so flexible, which helped with our planning. Benson was so happy to be with Kerry and her family, we couldn’t have wished for a better second home. Thank you.
Thank you, Kerry for looking after our two spaniels. They had a great time.
Kerry was great, so kind and relaxed despite our very energetic dog. She was so flexible and welcoming and Jude came away happy and relaxed. She was quick to respond to any queries and made the process really easy. We would definitely book again if in the area.
Kerry was fabulous. She communicated really well and in the lead up to caring for our dog, Nikita ( who is a bit of a diva!) We had a short familiarisation visit with Kerry at her home before the overnight stay. Kerry was lovely and not at all fazed by our yappy, anxious little Nikita! She went above and beyond collecting Nikita from us as we were on a campsite, and also giving us a lift home from the event we were attending when we couldn’t get a taxi! She sent messages and some lovely photos of Nikita during her stay and understood the anxiety of two anxious dog parents. She is obviously an animal lover, was really nice to deal with and I would highly recommend her to anyone who needs care for their beloved pet. Jackie & Phil
Kerry is great she looked after our dog for us whilst we went on holiday, kept us updated with pics and was understanding after delays on our side - also catered for him after a recent accident meaning he couldn't be walked. Ted loved being there and made friends with her dog, it was a holiday for him too 😄
Kerry and her family were very welcoming when we arrived. I immediately felt sure that Jasper would be well looked after. In fact he never noticed we were leaving. Jasper immediately engaged with Kerry’s dog, Tilly who was very playful and well matched to his energy levels. At the end of the day we collected a very tired but happy and contented doggy. I will definitely use Kerry again when I return to Dorset next year.

Schedule
🐶 Schedule & Routine: Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I work from home, which means I’m available throughout the day to give your dog plenty of attention, playtime, and care. My young Springer Spaniel, Tilly, keeps me active and engaged, and we enjoy regular walks in the nearby woods. With a large enclosed garden and a family of dog-loving children (ages 9 and up), your pet will have a safe, stimulating, and loving environment. I’m flexible with scheduling and happy to accommodate your dog’s specific needs, whether it’s exercise, feeding, or quiet companionship.

Safety, trust & environment
Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. In my home, pets are cared for in a secure, loving environment with constant supervision. Our large enclosed garden provides a safe space for outdoor play, and regular walks in the nearby woods offer great exercise and stimulation. I’m experienced in caring for dogs of all ages—from playful puppies to gentle seniors—and I tailor my approach to suit each dog’s personality and needs. With a calm household, a friendly young spaniel, and dog-savvy children, your pet will feel right at home. I also follow any specific instructions you provide to ensure your dog’s routine and wellbeing are fully respected.

A typical day
A typical day here is full of fun, fresh air, and companionship. We start with a morning walk in the nearby woods—perfect for sniffing, exploring, and stretching those legs. Throughout the day, your dog will enjoy playtime in our large enclosed garden with my friendly young Springer Spaniel, Tilly. Indoors, there’s plenty of space to relax, and your pet will never be short of attention from me or my dog-loving children. Whether it’s a game of fetch, a cuddle on the sofa, or a quiet nap, I tailor each day to suit your dog’s personality and needs. Regular meals, fresh water, and lots of love are guaranteed!
