“Just a short note to say a big Thank You for looking after Sam whilst we managed to take a well earned short break. Sam always loves staying with you, and is always well looked after by you both. As you know, we now run a small business and so holidays are a precious commodity and it’s a great help knowing that our beloved Sam is being well cared for whilst we are lying in the sun (or not as the case may be). We will hopefully be able to plan another break later in the year and will certainly be in touch to book Sam in again and would also recommend you with pleasure when the opportunity arises.” Graham and Sandra

“Cathy and Paul have that gift: they can talk to dogs. They really love them and treat each pet as the unique character it is. Over the many years I’ve been leaving my much-loved spaniel-collie Coco with them, I’ve noticed that they never leave her alone in the house for long periods; that she always comes back to me very happy, healthy, nicely groomed, alert and well-exercised; and that their home is both dog-friendly and dog-safe. Whatever time of the day or year, there’s a warm welcome for Coco at Cathy’s. For me it’s like sending my dog off to her other family – for my dog, it’s like going on her holidays! I would recommend their service to any caring dog-owner.” Christina, proud owner of Coco

“Our dog Charlie, a collie-cross-Jack Russell, has stayed with Cathy on a number of occasions. He gets very excited as soon as we reach the front path and, once the front door is opened, makes a beeline for the toy cupboard where he remembers his favourite toy is stored. Thankfully, he is also happy to see us when we return to pick him up! We would highly recommend Cathy as a great dog-sitter.” Laurie & Karen

“Both our dogs have stayed at Cathy’s numerous times over the years. She provides continuity of care in that she is kind, gentle, gives plenty of exercise and cares for the dogs as if they were her own. We highly recommend Cathy. If anything our dogs are better behaved when they come back – always a bonus!” Sue and Roger

“I just wanted to say thank you for looking after me again! I know it was only for one night this time! Mummy says I always sleep well when I have been at yours because of the long walks! Mummy and Daddy are hoping to go away in the summer which means I get to come back and see you again – can’t wait! Say hello to Coco and friends. Love, Bonnie x x” Bonnie the Chocolate Labrador

“As a distinguished young Schnauzer, I have to say, it’s always so exciting going out with Cathy. I practically knock the front door down trying to get to her when she calls to take me out for another day of adventures and new friends! We dogs have a perfect sense of what time it is (particularly dinner time), and Cathy is always at my house on time with a smile and lots of love and attention. She teaches me new tricks and gives me new exciting experiences everyday. I don’t even look back at my Mum and Dad as I don’t miss them when I’m out.” Monty the miniature Schnauzer
