First and foremost, I am a dog lover. We all have a special dog in our lives and I am no different. My dog Monkey is my best friend and companion. I have cared for many dogs in my life, starting from a very young age with my father being a police dog handler.

I used to manage Woolmers Kennels before it became fully Home Boarding. I have vast experience in all dog breeds, caring for dogs health and administering medication.

I started volunteering for a local rescue centre when I was 13. I ran a professional dog training business for 10 years called Dog Training Bristol. I have worked alongside the charity ‘Dogs For Good’ and The Avon and Somerset Police.

I have been around dogs all my life. I am a former primary teacher and childcare professional, so I understand how to provide the best care. I grew up with many family dogs including a very special Jack Russell called Ruby and a lovely lab called Poppy. I used to work for a dog walking company in Bristol and I hold a Dog First Aid Certificate. Together with my husband Steve, I have housed many assistance dogs in training and seen first hand the joy that dogs can bring. I love nothing more than to give the boarding dogs a cuddle and see them enjoying their time with us. I get a lot of personal joy from caring for dogs and love being outdoors with them.

I help Katie and Steve for two days a week. I am Katie’s mum. I have lived alongside dogs my whole adult life. I have rescued many dogs and now I have a 3 year old rescue Jack Russell called Jessie. I have a genuine passion and love for animals and will treat your dog as if it were my own. In a very hands on and proactive person. I am a former primary teacher and mental health professional. I love sitting by the fire reading with the dogs and taking them out to enjoy watching them play.
