This is me!

Pet Lover Extraordinaire

I grew up in the North West/Chester area and I  have been surrounded by various animals all my life, including dogs, horses, donkeys rabbits, guinea pigs and even the odd goat!

I started my love for animals from a very early age with the family dog.  I currently have three dogs and have been very fortunate enough to whelp and raise a litter of my own.  This has to have been the most amazing humbling experience ever!

This experience literally changed my life; I realised this is where I was at my happiest, surrounded by  the best friends any person could have.

After walking dogs for many years I realised times have changed and lots of people are now  working from home and  require something a bit more ‘Tailor made’  … hence the name!

Dog Walker / Licensed Home Boarder

Janine and I have been friends for over 30 years and you can see my love for dogs clearly on my face!

I primarily offer a FULLY LICENCED HOME FROM HOME BOARDING SERVICE but I do help out with dog walking occasionally.

Dogs who stay with Aunty Jayne literally go from their own sofa, straight to mine! 

With a woodland walk right on the doorstep and access to a beautiful country park, they are spoilt from start to finish.
