Highlights
Pet care experience
Holiday Home for Pups
I've always been a bit dog obsessed from a young age and have had a number of dogs myself, including an English Setter rescue from Croatia who'd never lived in a home before & was anxious around many dogs, excluding my lovely Labradoodle, who was his safety blanket, so a lot of love, patience & training was required to give him his best final years of life. I currently have an extremely friendly & sociable Clumber Spaniel X bitch, 16 months old who loves life & would welcome any dog in her home for a day or sleepover/s. So, recent experience of older dogs who just want comfort, company, cuddles & a short stroll to a manic puppy who didn't have an off switch...which I've since found! I live within walking distance to fields & the coastline & work from home with a secure garden so can offer your dog a little holiday whilst you can enjoy yours guilt free knowing that they are happy too!
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Otto had a fantastic time with Kirsty and Clemmie. Plenty of cuddles on the sofa, cheese and fun on the beach meant that we could relax knowing that he was being treated like one of the family. Kirsty was kind and great to communicate with, sending us photos and updates of Otto whilst we were away. We could not recommend her enough and look forward to choosing Kirsty again to look after Otto. 😊

Schedule
I currently work part time from home, apart from Thursdays when I volunteer for Animals in Distress for 4hrs, so have plenty of time for walks & play time.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have a fenced in secure garden & have a large crate available for your dog if they feel more secure in a crate and they can enjoy the company of my very well socialised dog Clemmie. Should I ever need to pop out I have a Blink camera so that I can always keep eyes on!
Pets
A typical day
I've got lots of toys in the house & garden plus Clemmie for company & she loves playtime with other dogs as well as a sniffy hide n seek game. Lovely open walks nearby, with easy access to fields & coast without the need to get in the car. I'm used to having a dog on a long line if necessary as my previous rescue dog had a high prey drive & bad recall!

- It's important that your dog is happy in the company of other dogs, as Clemmie is very sociable but reads dogs very well & knows when they need their space.
