Unlike Kennels or dog professionals who care for multiple pets at a time, I offer an exclusive, peaceful home-from-home environment for a maximum of two compatible dogs, or three if they are from the same family/friend group. During your dog’s stay, I can guarantee continuous dedicated attention and companionship.

We've been taking both of our dogs to Chris for day care, whilst we're at work, for a few months. They always come home happy and relaxed. It is reassuring having Chris look after them as they suffer from separation anxiety but with Chris they are so happy to see her and they don't cry when we leave which is such a relief. More...

Over the past few months my dog has stayed for several long weekends and been taken for daily walks. I have been really satisfied on every occasion, as it is clear to see that Chris is such an animal lover and a sensible and reliable person. Most important to me is my dog always look vibrant and happy when I collect him. I'm lucky to have found CK's. More...

Chris is a true dog lover and she treats my Lilly like a princess. I have known Chris for several years and I use her dogsitting service every time we go on holiday. When I am away Lilly is in good hands and looked after well. She is fed, watered, walked and gets a lot of attention and cuddles. I recommend CK's Dog walking and pet sitting services to anyone who wants the best care to their dog. More...

I’ve employed Chris’s services several times looking after my three cats. One very elderly cat with lots of problems. Pre lockdown she has stayed over and taken care of them and she has shown an abundance of love and care as if they were her own pets. I have asked Chris to also check on them if I am going to be away for many hours in the day. I will definitely be booking her services again and I am always happy to recommend her to my friends who have pets. Chris is respectful, caring and has everything I look for in someone to look after my very precious cats. More...
What do you love most about your job?
I look forward to it every day...
It's very rewarding to be responsible for animals' happiness and deliver on that. To have owners see that and value it brings a lot of joy!
What inspired you to start your own business?
Inspired really by the outlook of spending working hours with animals. I had my own Web & Graphic Design business and contracted out to various corporations, so I'm familiar with operating on my steam. I've naturally combined these two things to land at the perfect job for me!
Why should our clients choose you?
I am completely trustworthy and adore animals - I have held corporate posts where high-level clearance was needed and I have had various pets all my life. I understand, first-hand, that they are a treasured member of the family and should be given their best life everyday. I put the comfort and needs of pets first. For me, looking out for animals is a predisposition. Of course, I am fully insured and carry a current DBS clearance certificate.
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
Can provide my services from the client's home or from my home. I live in a very peaceful location with lots of outstanding green space... ideal for dog sitting.
What changes have you made to keep your customers safe from Covid-19?
Government Guidelines and common sense practices are adhered to at all times. Mask worn when appropriate. Dog leads wiped on pick-up and return. New disposable gloves worn on pick-up and return.
