Happy international dog day! 🐕 This is David Hockney talking about his 2 dachshunds. I couldn’t agree more Dave!

Did somebody say “biscuit”??

Doggy spa is in session! You’ll notice that there are fewer dogs in one photo than the other - Agatha (mini dachshund) was evicted from the spa for refusal to wear a robe and constantly running around in the n**e. We’re not that kind of establishment!

Agatha and I are both ready for the day ☀️

A quick reminder about my impending holiday later this week. Agatha is not amused! Warning: she uses some bad words 😱

When will I learn? British summertime bears little resemblance to the summertime of any other nation! Note to self: wear jacket with hood and take dog coats on summer walks 😩 The post-walk doggy spa is now in sessions. Dry robes all round!

Saturday night goals: sunny evening in the garden, glass of fizz, and my mini assassin by my side ❤️

Our lovely fish man gave me some salmon scraps for the dogs today ❤️ I won’t lie, they were quite pleased about it! Note in first photo there’s some chops licking in anticipation 🤣

My friend’s niece has just started a dog grooming business. She’s spent a long time training and qualifying and she’s lovely! I’m often asked if I can recommend groomers - I’d have no qualms about recommending Isla. Your pets will be in safe hands 🥰

Dear commercial TV channels,

My daycare dogs respectfully ask that you stop showing the tails.com advert on a bi-hourly basis on your many many channels as they’re exhausted from launching themselves off the sofa to within 2 inches of my wall-mounted TV screen, to bark themselves hoarse at the hundreds of Labradors running across a field.

Yours desperately
Kerry

Meet Bailey and the crew. They might look the same, but the truth is they're all unique.We believe there should be no average dog food – because there is no ...

This is me saying that I’m a dog sitter without saying that I’m a dog sitter 🤣

My work experience boy doesn’t look like he’s enjoying our morning outing 🤣 🥶

“Drive Otis, drive!”

Despite what his owner thinks, Otis and I did not agree to co-ordinate our outfits before our morning walk!

Hi everyone. Unfortunately I’m not in a position to take on any further boarders or new clients at the moment. My day care group increased in size last year and in addition we may soon hear the pitter patter of our very own Leads and Trails tiny paws 🥰 🐶 … watch this space (Edit: Agatha the Miniature Dachshund is now taken up permanent residence with us 🥰)! This combination will make it tricky to give any extra doggie visitors the love, care and attention they deserve when away from home - I’m really sorry but I’d rather not give less than 100% service. I’ll let you know as soon as any spaces open up ❤️

Enter at your peril. My day care security team checking the perimeter…

Apparently it doesn’t matter how many sofas I have or how many dog beds I put around the house. It seems that prime real estate is on or around my person. In your face Joseph and your dreamcoat. Meet Kerry and her amazing dog blanket!

I have the best clients 🥰 Thank you Jenni Carter for the thoughtful gift. I hope this doesn’t make people feel pressure to buy me things for no reason*

*please buy me things for no reason 🤣

First outing of a lovely Christmas gift today. How well my clients know me 🤣

Post-walk sofa snoozing. I’m thinking of asking Dulux if they’d like to use this photo for their winter colour chart. Hint of Dog 1, 2 and 3!

Boarder, Izzy loves jumping onto my knee, putting her head on my shoulder and falling asleep 🥰 She’s not quite so keen on Mr Leads & Trails however and prefers to keep her distance … probably smells evil 🤣

19/03/2023

I know I’m not an actual dog mum at the moment but I try my best to give all my day care dogs and boarders the “mum” experience while they’re with me. How thoughtful of Mr Leads & Trails to surprise me with this lovely card today with the names of all the dogs I’ve looked after ❤️

Bree doing her best Archie Macpherson impersonation. WOOF!!

Next time I moan about having to walk in the rain or snow, or I’m tempted to sleep in after being up during the night to comfort an upset dog, feel free to slap me. This is the best job in the world - look at these happy, relaxed faces. They make my heart glad 🥰

Happiness is … afternoon cuddles with 2 of my favourite boarders 🥰🐾🐕

How we roll on a Saturday night - Less Netflix and chill, and more Netflix, dogs and slowly lose consciousness …

After the beach comes the drying! I discovered last week that Frida loved the hairdryer when she threw herself at my feet, tummy on show, as I did my post-shower blow dry.

I won’t be offended if you don’t watch the full 6 minutes of Frida at my beauty salon. You can probably get the picture after a few seconds 🤣

What better way to spend a Saturday morning than on the beach? Frida loved feeling the wind in her fur 🥰

Hello everyone. Thanks to your continued support … and your holidays 🤣 I now find myself booked solidly for the majority of the year ahead. I never thought I’d be saying that in February! I have the odd night free here and there but these come up very infrequently. Unless I have any cancellations I’m afraid I don’t have the capacity to look after any more of your lovely dogs this year 😢

It’s really important to me that the dogs associate their time at my home with enjoyable experiences. In order to encourage this I prefer to keep the groups small. It means I’m much more able to give dogs the individual attention they deserve and hopefully provide them with a stress free environment. It does however limit the number of dogs I can accept and I’m very aware of disappointing people when they request my help.

So in short, it’s not you, it’s me! 😁 I hope that makes sense. I will of course post any cancellations if they occur, and in the meantime please feel free to make requests as usual but just be aware that it’s likely I’ll have to regretfully decline 😢 x
