About: My education and current studying of a degree in animal science has given me a deep understanding of animal behavior, physiology, and care needs. I can recognize signs of stress, illness, or discomfort in pets, ensuring they stay healthy and happy while in my care.Having both a dog and a cat means I’m experienced in managing the unique needs of different species. I understand their distinct behaviors, dietary requirements, and exercise needs, so I’m well-prepared to care for a variety of pets.Caring for a disabled animal has taught me patience, adaptability, and compassion. I’m skilled in administering medications, assisting with mobility, and providing the extra attention and care that special-needs pets require. If your pet has similar challenges, I’ll ensure they’re comfortable and well looked after.My experience with a disabled pet has made me highly empathetic and responsible. I know how important it is to go above and beyond to ensure the comfort and well-being of the animals in my care.I know how important mental stimulation and socialization are for pets. Whether it’s playing with a cat, walking a dog, or providing enrichment activities, I’ll keep your pets engaged and happy.As someone who values animals and has dedicated time to studying their care, you can trust me to treat your pets with the same love and attention I give my own. I’m currently a student so have lots of time and very flexible with dates. Particularly during holiday periods. Weekdays and weekends work fine for me :) I have a fenced garden for security of your pet. Lots of lovely walking paths to have some great walks. I can use a crate if necessary in your homes.


“Christopher is an amazing person. He is definitely a great dog caretaker. We didn't have to worry about Vimes at all, as he was well taken care for and given all the excitement and exercise a gsd needs. He kept us updated all the time. Was very accommodating and sincere.Vimes was upset at leaving Christopher. Thank you so much for everything 🙏”

“I went to meet Beth prior to the booking and I knew instantly that I’d feel comfortable leaving Milo here. Beth asked questions and interacted with Milo from the offset and throughout. I was kept upto date with pictures and messages throughout his stay which reassured me and made me feel even more comfortable. Nothing is too much trouble for Beth. Her house is great also. All in all I would recommend Beth 100% and I’ve already booked 3 more dates in with her. She is just amazing! Thanks again Beth xx”

“I am delighted to have discovered Josh's exceptional boarding services for my beloved German Shepherd, Zoey. Zoey's protective and anxious nature has made it challenging to find suitable accommodations, but Josh has proven to be the perfect fit. During our initial meeting with Josh, it was evident that he possessed a deep understanding of Zoey's unique needs. Without hesitation, he began working on her behavioural training a month prior to her boarding. Josh dedicated numerous days and hours to help Zoey acclimate to his own dogs, ensuring a harmonious environment. Even during her stay, he continued to train and work with her. Josh's unwavering dedication and genuine love for dogs make his boarding service truly exceptional. His commitment to Zoey's well-being and growth sets him apart from others. We are thrilled with the progress Zoey has made under Josh's guidance, and we will undoubtedly book his services again. Additionally, we look forward to continuing the invaluable training he provides. In conclusion, I highly recommend Josh's boarding services to anyone seeking not only a safe and comfortable environment for their dogs but also a trainer who genuinely cares. Josh's passion for what he does and his commitment to the happiness and development of dogs make him the best choice for boarding services.”
