Having grown up with many animals, from dogs and cats to rats, hamsters and guinea pigs, I couldn't imagine a life without pets.

Fast forward a few years and I now live with my 13 year old daughter, our 3 year old Golden Retreiver and a rescue cat.

I am permanently home based which means no rushing that morning walk, a long walk, back in time for breakfast and a 9am start. We never miss a walk, come rain or shine (of course, we would adapt if your pooch isn't keen on the wet stuff!).

I know how hard it is to leave your much loved pooch and it is this that motivated me to join pawshake. I love the idea that I can give you peace of mind that your dog will be well cared for and treated as one of the family while you take a break. Our dog has full run of the downstairs of the house

If your pet is staying over a weekend, we are registered with a secure field and, pending availability, could book this for a small extra charge.

All dogs must be neutured, vaccinated and up to date with flea/worming treatment. Reactive dogs cannot be considered.

I offer home from home boarding where your dog will be treated as part of the family.
