I’m based in Corby, and my home has always felt a little incomplete without animals in it. Over the past year I’ve been caring for pets through boarding and dog walks, and I’ve learned that the best stays happen when a dog can settle in and feel like they’re simply part of the household.

What I offer is a calm, home-style routine with plenty of attention to the small things that matter: sticking to your dog’s usual walking pace, keeping to feeding schedules, and giving them the kind of company they’re used to. I also have a vehicle, so getting out for varied walks or handling pick-ups and drop-offs (where arranged) is straightforward.

When your pet stays with me, they’ll be in a spacious 538 sqm house with a securely fenced 90 sqm garden where they can safely stretch their legs and explore. Pets are welcome on the furniture, and if your dog normally sleeps on the bed, I’m happy to keep that routine. It’s a non-smoker home, and I can accommodate dogs who aren’t crate trained. The one must-have is that your dog is comfortable around cats, because I share my home with two laid-back feline residents.
