About: Since childhood, I have always had a family dog, so being around and caring for dogs has been a big part of my life. I’ve been volunteering most weekends at Holly Hedge Dog Sanctuary, whenever my work schedule allows. During my time there, I’ve had the opportunity to work with a wide variety of dogs, each with different personalities and needs.

It's something I really enjoy and feel passionate about. My work schedule changes each week, so feel free to send me a message! Your dog will always be my top priority, and I will make sure to find time to give them the attention they deserve. I’m currently living in military accommodation on Catterick Camp.

Your dog's well-being is important to me, and I want to ensure they have the exercise, love and attention they need.

louise a.
“I've known Louise for many years and she's a great, kind and caring friend. But as good of a friend that she is, she's an even better dog carer. I don't think I've met anyone who cares for dogs the way Louise does, she has a vast wealth of experience with looking after and caring for not only her own dogs, but others too. She has had dogs her entire life so rest assured that she knows what she's doing. Any dog that comes to stay with her will be welcomed and looked after with the utmost of diligence and love. I wouldn't hesitate for a second to take my dogs to Louise's as I know they will always be in good hands.”
