Caring for animals is my priority, dog sitting and walking is my full-time focus. I live with my husband, who mostly works from home and has a flexible schedule. Depending on your preference, we can either go out together on group walks with our dogs (2 adults, plus one or two of our dogs, with your dog), or I can take your dog(s) on a solo walk. Whatever works best for your dog. Your dog will be with humans the majority of the time they are here, receiving love, care and attention. A typical day for us, We usually wake around 6am, have cuddles with our dogs and feed them their breakfast. Then we head out for our early morning walk (usually 1 - 2 hours). After that our boys tend to sleep til lunch time. We usually have then playtime, followed by more napping. We then take a second walk before or after their tea. Then toy time and tucked in bed around 9pm.

Safety, trust & environment
As we have 2 lurchers our garden is very secure with high fences. There are comfy sofas in both rooms on the ground floor, plus dog beds, plenty of room to relax. If you like your dogs to be crated at night, there is room to add these. Our dogs sleep in one room, your dogs would have their own doggy bedroom (ground floor). We also have a room on the first floor for dogs that need a snug quiet space of their own.

Information Kerry S. would like to know about your pet
Please let us know your dog’s usual feeding, walking and general daily routine in advance of meeting us. Please also let us know if they have any medical or behavioural issues that we should be aware of, so we can make their stay as comfortable and tailored as possible. We would need a meet and greet session before committing to a stay with us, to make sure your dog gets along with our guys and isn't going to be be stressed during their stay. Their comfort is key to a happy holiday with us!
A typical day
We understand how different individual animal needs can be. Our 19 year old has a very different requirement to our two 3 year old lurchers, but even those two need different mental and physical stimulation. We will take time to learn about your fur baby, and get an understanding of what they enjoy and what their usual day looks like to ensure being with us is a home from home. We will play games, take walks and naps as and when required and will ensure there are lots of cuddles (or space if that’s what they prefer!)

Pet care experience
Both Tom and I have been around dogs all our lives. We currently have a 19-year old senior (Edie), and 2 lurchers, Lionel and Bodhi. I have a qualification in Pet First Aid and Dog CPR. I am fully insured by Protectivity. We have extensive experience with senior dog care and sighthounds. We are fortunate to live in close proximity to the Kent Downs, and the beautiful Kent countryside, near lots of woods and walking distance to the coast. We love to get out in the fresh air as much as possible and would welcome your furry friends to come with us. There are also plenty of dog parks near our house, and we have booked private fields in the past which can be arranged. We only take 1 or 2 dogs from the same household, to ensure they get sufficient supervision and snuggles. Walks can be solo or with our boys (who walk very well on lead). Edie likes the quiet life, and mostly sleeps in Tom’s office with him during the day. Lionel and Bodhi are very loving, friendly boys, with very different characters! Lionel loves everyone and wants to play. Bodhi is more laid back, and is happy to watch playtime from the sofa! Both are good at sharing toys and snuggling. As with most sighthounds, after a short burst of energy, they love to snuggle up for the next few hours!
Reviews
Kerry is absolutely brilliant with our young energetic Labrador. You can tell she really takes care to get to know each dog she looks after, and pays attention to the little details that make them comfortable. Would absolutely recommend her!!
Kerry is our regular dog walker and she's fantastic - I recommend her to anyone. I'm an obsessed dog-mum and it takes a lot to let my boy go with someone but after seeing him with Kerry in a couple of meet and greets I knew I could completely trust her. My dog Bootsy definitely feels the same! Kerry is really reliable, keeps in touch and sends pics, and was really thoughtful and careful about how we introduced Bootsy to her lovely dogs. She's adored in our house :)
My two cocker spaniels have stayed with Kerry several times. Each time, they were welcomed as part of the family and settled in very well. Kerry’s dogs - and those she boards - are her priority. Our spaniels were taken on lots of lovely countryside walks - Kerry knows all the good places. We have a some beautiful photos she took of them in the bluebell woods in springtime that she shared with us. One of our spaniels had complex needs as she was older and suffering from doggy dementia, including incontinence and needing regular medication. Kerry took all this in her stride, nothing was too much trouble. We never had to worry, Kerry gave us regular updates while we were away as to what our babies had been up to and how they were doing. I would therefore recommend Kerry without hesitation - your dogs will be in safe hands.
