K9 Care by Clare

🐾 We’ve been a little quiet lately… but behind the scenes we’ve been very busy! 🐾

We’ve still been out enjoying our dog walks with our wonderful doggies, making memories and having lots of fun 🐶💕

Alongside that, we’ve been working incredibly hard preparing for our boarding licence inspection this week 🏡✨

There has been lots to organise, check, improve and prepare, and we’ve put our heart into making sure we’ve covered every area to create a safe, happy and comfortable home-from-home environment for your dogs 🐾

We’re so excited for this next step and can’t wait for the day to come when we can officially open our doors for boarding bookings and welcome your gorgeous dogs for their own little holiday with us 🐕🌿

Thank you to everyone who has supported us so far — we really appreciate every single one of you ❤️

☀️🐾 It’s hot weather week again! 🐾☀️

The sunshine is lovely, but our furry friends need a little extra care when temperatures rise ❤️

This week we’re doing things a little differently to make sure your doggies stay “so cool” 😎🐶

🐾 Walks will be adapted:
🌅 Early morning walks before the heat builds
🌙 Later evening walks when it’s cooler
🐕 Shorter, safer adventures depending on each dog’s needs

🏡 We’re also offering more pet pop-ins so dogs can stay comfortable at home with:
💧 Fresh water checks
❄️ Cool-down time
❤️ Company and reassurance
🐾 Toilet breaks and cuddles

Remember — hot weather can be dangerous for dogs. Pavements can heat up quickly, and some dogs (especially older dogs, puppies, and those with thicker coats) can struggle more in the heat.

Your dog’s welfare always comes first 🐶❤️
We’ll keep them happy, safe and comfortable throughout the warm weather.

Stay cool everyone! ☀️🐾

I’m excited to share that I have completed my Canine First Aid Level 2 (VTQ) qualification 🩺🐶

Keeping my knowledge fresh and up to date is so important to me because the dogs in my care deserve the very best. From everyday wellbeing checks to knowing how to respond in an emergency, I’m always investing in my training to provide the safest and highest standard of care possible.

Thank you to all my wonderful clients for trusting me with your precious pups ❤️

Only the best for my clients, their dogs, and their peace of mind 🐾

📰 WE MADE THE PAPER! 📰

I still can’t quite believe it, but K9 Care by Clare has made the front page and been featured in the Worcester News! 🐾💜

What started as a way of finding purpose after losing my mum has grown into a business that I absolutely love. To see my story, my mum’s story, and my little dog walking and pet care business featured in the local paper is incredibly special.

Thank you to Worcester News for sharing my journey and to everyone who has supported K9 Care by Clare along the way.

A huge thank you to my wonderful clients for trusting me with your dogs, recommending my services and supporting my small business. This recognition belongs to all of us.

And of course, thank you to Nugget, my loyal sidekick, who has been by my side every step of the way 🐶❤️

From grief, to healing, to becoming an Animal Star Awards finalist and now appearing in the local paper… it’s been quite a journey.

Feeling very proud, very grateful and very lucky 💜

☀️🐾 With the warmer weather on its way next week, I’m making sure the dogs in my care stay as safe and comfortable as possible 🐶💙

The van is booked in for an air-conditioning re-gas so it’s performing at its very best during the hotter days, and I’m also setting up a fresh water station onboard to help keep everyone cool and hydrated 🚐💦

To help avoid the peak heat, I’ll be offering:
🐾 Early morning walks
🐾 Late evening walks
🐾 Home pop-ins and comfort visits instead of walks where needed

Your dog’s health, safety and wellbeing will always be my absolute priority 🐶❤️

Please feel free to message me if you’d like to adjust your dog’s routine during the warmer weather ☀️

Today my finalist certificate for the Animal Star Awards 2026 arrived in the post and I honestly still can’t quite believe it 🥹🐾💜

Thank you so much to The Animal Star Awards for this lovely surprise and for recognising K9 Care by Clare as a finalist for Dog Services Of The Year 2026.

This little business started from a love of animals, fresh air, healing and companionship following one of the hardest periods of my life after losing my mum ❤️

The first photo feels especially emotional for me because she would have been the very first person I ran to tell. I know she’d be incredibly proud.

And of course… none of this would be possible without my biggest supporter and sidekick, Nugget 🐶❤️
He’s been there through absolutely everything and has helped shape K9 Care by Clare into what it is today.

To all my wonderful clients — thank you for trusting me with your dogs, supporting my business and being part of this journey with me.

Feeling very grateful, very emotional… and very proud 💜🐾
