About Charmian

Planning a well-deserved holiday? Returning to work? No time to walk your dog? Please read on...

I have owned dogs and budgies for most of my life. A retired teacher, I now work part-time from home with my 2 small, gentle dogs by my side. I walk them 3 times a day in local parks.

My fairly large back garden is securely fenced and on warm days the doggie pool is filled to the brim.

The back door is open during the day, so the dogs can come and go as they please.

An avid animal-lover, I have been looking after people’s pets alongside my own for many, many years.

 I only accept dogs that are vaccinated, used to being around young children and not prone to barking a lot. 

Puppies most welcome - basic training provided.
I can assure you that your pet will be looked after, loved and treated as well as my own happy pair are.

My chihuahua Skye had the best time with Charmian and was sad to leave!

Charmian sent us regular updates and let me know that she was settling in well the day we left. I felt very comfortable knowing Skye was being taken care of and treated like a member of the family. She takes a while to warm up to other dogs but was very happy hanging out with her doggie friends while we were away.

I highly recommend Charmian and will definitely book her again for our next holiday!

We can’t thank Charmian enough for hosting our two pups while we were away. Charmian was great with communication and really made our dogs feel at home. We will definitely be using her again in the future!
