I have been a dog owner all my life and a dog lover forever! Growing up on a small holding and later a farm in Essex with lots of space my special friends were Springer Spaniels and Labradors. Moving to the Island 25 years ago has provided me with a lovely place to work and play. To combine living on this beautiful Island with spending all my time with my dogs is a dream come true.

My first Miniature Schnauzer was my adored companion Emma who travelled with me throughout Britain and Europe. Today there is Ella, aged 5, and Adora her 5 month old new found friend. I enjoy travelling in my motorhome with my dogs who love the life of exploring new surroundings and different smells on the journey.   

Taking on Isle of Wight Wagging Tails is an amazing opportunity for me to continue to work with my dogs and to also ensure that we can give a loving home from home holiday for other Island dog lovers. I’ve experienced all spectrum of dog boarding on the Island and know how difficult and heartbreaking it can be finding suitable holiday care. That is why I was immediately drawn to the ethical approach and the love and care that is the foundation of the Wagging Tails ethos. To be able to offer Peace of mind to Dog owners that their beloved Dog/s will be looked after by a carefully vetted, licensed and insured Dog carer, and enable the owners to have a stress and worry free Holiday.

About our Isle of Wight carers

All of our carers are experienced past dog owners who either no longer have dogs of their own or have one dog who enjoys the company of visiting dogs. Coming from various walks of life and experienced with different breeds of dogs they have all been vetted, interviewed and assessed to ensure they provide the very highest quality home dog boarding and I would happily board Daisy with each of them. Where necessary our carers are licensed for home dog boarding by their local Council to comply with the Animal Boarding Establishments Act 1963 and are fully insured through Wagging Tails Pet Business Insurance. I match each owner's dogs with the most suitable dog carer and insist on a 'sniffing out meeting' taking place at the carers home before the board. I believe it is very important for owners to meet the chosen carer to gain peace of mind and feel confident their best friend will have a great dog holiday! I always aim to place dogs back with the same carer for subsequent holidays as the dogs and carers build a strong bond. Many owners have told me their dogs have dragged them to the carer's door knowing exactly where they are and that it's holiday time!
