“Jennifer looked after my little dog, Mooji for two long weekends, she sent lots of pics of Mooji during his stay, and I know that Mooji was very happy there, he had a waggy tail, as soon as he got there. And on the second visit my dog was equally as happy to see her. She is a natural and my dog was very happy there. I would recommend Jennifer.”

About: As a stay at home mum of two, both now at school, I am excited to be able to offer flexible dog sitting and dog walking services :) I have loved and cared for animals my entire life and I understand how important it is to know your furry friends are in caring, capable hands. I have also lived in the area my entire life so know all the best doggy friendly spots! I am currently a stay at home mum so I will have plenty of time to play with your furry loved ones! I have lived in Christchurch Bournemouth, my entire life and know all the best places for lovely long walks! We have a fenced in, good size garden for your pups to run around in! We don’t currently have a doggy of our own so yours will have free rain of the garden. Our cat teddy keeps herself to herself during the day so I doubt they will even meet!
