Having grown up with dogs and being a dog mum myself, I know how important it is to find someone you can trust to look after your dog when you’re away. I offer a safe, relaxed and loving home-from-home where your dog can feel comfortable, happy and part of the family.

Dogs are a big part of my life, and because I work from home I’m able to spend lots of time with them throughout the day. This means dogs are rarely left alone and only ever for short periods if I need to nip out. I have a large secure garden and plenty of time for walks, playtime and, of course, lots of fuss and cuddles!

I live in Penarth and we’re very lucky to have some fantastic walks right on our doorstep, including Cosmeston Lakes Country Park, nearby beaches and other local walking routes and woodlands. Whether your dog enjoys long adventures, gentle strolls or just pottering around in the garden, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable, settled and right at home during their stay.

I have a friendly senior resident dog Freddie who is used to other dogs and is always happy to make new friends. I also have a cat, Blaze, who generally keeps himself to himself and spends much of his time outdoors. If your dog isn’t a fan of cats, Blaze can easily be kept separate. When welcoming a new dog, I like to let them settle in at their own pace and take introductions slowly so everyone feels comfortable.

Every dog is different, so before any booking I’d love to arrange a meet and greet to learn about their routine, likes, dislikes and any special requirements. Whether your dog is energetic and playful or prefers a quieter pace of life, I’ll do my best to make sure they feel relaxed, settled and well cared for throughout their stay.

I’ll also keep you updated with regular photos and messages, so you can enjoy your time away knowing your dog is safe, happy and being treated as one of the family. In the unlikely event that anything unexpected happens, I have my own transport and would make sure your dog gets the care they need while keeping you informed throughout.

I look forward to meeting you and your four-legged best friend!
