Farm stay, lots of walks, care & spaniel company
Pet care experience
I've been dog sitting for 6 years, looking after lots of different breeds for both short and long-term stays. I absolutely love dogs and I have a Cocker Spaniel cross King Charles of my own, Leila. There is lots of space at the property and locally for the dogs to get the exercise they need during their stay. There is a 4 acre paddock the dogs can run around and play in. Behind the land there is a rugby field which is another great spot for them to have a morning run. I generally work from home so I will be on hand to give your dog all the attention they need while they're in my care. If I go anywhere, visiting friends/family, etc I will always take the dogs with me. Please note, I do have two farm cats, they live outside. They are used to being around dogs. Please also note, the outside areas of the property are not entirely secure, so if your dog wanders or if their recall isn't great with other people, then this will probably not be the best fit. I love the outdoors, nature, and giving our dogs lots of pats and love, I've grown up with dogs and since dog sitting I feel my training and control of different breeds has improved greatly. I have a King Charles Cavalier cross Cocker Spaniel, Leila; who is 7 years old, female. There is private gated access to the River Teme, which flows shallow during the summer and is the perfect spot for the dogs to cool off on hot days. I enjoy taking the dogs the many different countryside walks in the surrounding areas. The house is a modern house with open plan kitchen / dining space with ample living space. Dogs are welcome to make themselves at home during their stay and happy for them to sleep wherever they feel most comfortable and settled. A meet and greet is essential before committing to first-time booking with any dog, I like to arrange this as soon as possible, this means if for whatever reason it is not a good fit, you are able to make other plans for your dog sooner.
Reviews
Krystena is a fabulous host for your dog, we felt completely comfortable leaving our dog with her and knew that he would be well looked after as if he were her own. Lots of lovely updates to keep us reassured of his contentment at his holiday home. Absolutely no hesitation in recommending Krystena
Our dog KC had an amazing time with Krystena. She was so accommodating and helped us out last minute to be able to go on holiday. We were always kept upto date with messages, photos and videos which was just lovely as we felt at easy that KC was having a fab time. Krystena cared for KC as if she was one of her own dogs and KC had just as an amazing holiday as we did. I wouldn't hesitate to use Krystena again and also highly recommend her. Thank you Krystena.
Krystena communicated very well. We were updated with photos & videos. Leo seemed to enjoy his stay & holiday as much as l did! Krystena was proactive in organising things for Leo’s stay. Thanks for looking after the boy!
Krystena is a wonderful person and she has a beautiful dog friendly home. I left my 6 month old Border Collie with her for over 24 hours and she was looked after like one of the family. She went for walks to lovely places and played with Krystena’s dogs and had a brilliant time. I received lots of photos and videos and updates which was so nice of her. Daisy had a brilliant time and was shown lots of love and care. I would highly recommend Krystena to anyone wanting a dog walker or sitter. She’s awesome !!

If a dog is determined enough, they could get out onto the road through the hedgerow. The front of the house is not fully secured. Because of this, I prefer to look after dogs who don't run away and who have good recall.
Home
Information Krystena G. would like to know about your pet
Any specific dietary requirements or does the dog take any medication? Has your dog got any behavioural issues I should be aware of? Best to know this upfront so we can avoid any issues with my dog. Is the dog fully house trained? Where does the dog like to sleep? How much exercise a day are they used to? Are the neutered? Male or female? Any other information that the owner considers important, I appreciated as much info as possible so your dog can have a relaxing stay here and feel comfortable.
A typical day
I take the dogs for walks and often play fetch in the rugby field which is only a minute walk from the property. If it's a very hot day I take the dogs down to the river, which runs very shallow in the summer, so they can cool off. There are lots of lovely walks through the local orchids, only 10 minute walk from the property. Some days I will take a short drive to Clee Hill Common for a lovely walk with views, or Ludlow's Mortimer Forest is a good spot for dog walks tool. I also give them lots of fuss and cuddles when at home, and I send owners lots of photo / video updates during the dog's stay.I will always message at least once a day to give owners an update.

Availability
I work from home and have time to take the dogs on walks throughout the day, and give them lots of affection and play. If I go out I will always take the dogs with me, I very rarely leave them on their own. If I do have to go somewhere that isn't dog friendly, I make sure the dogs are thoroughly exercised and fed, and put on classical music, which I find is really great for settling dogs.
