About
Hello, I would like to introduce myself my name is Karen, and I am the owner of “EveryDayz Dog Walking”. My friends call me “Kaz” (amongst other things 😊)
I was born in Southampton and have lived my whole life in the New Forest area.
I love all animals and spend as much time with them as I can, I have spent time in the UK and overseas volunteering with a variety of different species from Big Cats to Orcas. My main passion has always been dogs. I grew up with Golden Retrievers who were like my sisters and best friends rolled into one. Now I am incredibly lucky to have two Golden Doodles who are my absolute world!
My previous vocation was in Accountancy (which paid the bills) but that was not my calling. Following redundancy in 2020 I followed my heart and my dreams of pursuing a career with dogs. I wanted to create something a little bit different offering solo dog boarding and adventure walks inspired by my own girls.
I took a very deep breath and jumped into my new business venture with my paws and fingers crossed and here I am today with no regrets at all.
I love being outside (in all weathers 😊) in the forest and at the beach. I spend any spare time with my family and friends with all our dogs. You could say I am a little (ok, very) “Dog Crazy!” 😊
I have always loved learning as much as I can about our “4 legged best friends” and I have taken various dog related courses so you can feel confident your best friends are in the best hands.
Please contact me for a meet and greet and for any other information. You can never have too many dog loving friends. 😊
Thanks for visiting my website.

Services
Dog Walking
I have been offering my 5-star dog walking service in Romsey (Hampshire) and the surrounding areas since August 2020.
We all want to be with our furry best friends 24/7 but sometimes we cannot be in two places at once and we need a little helping hand.
I offer solo or small group walks rather than pack walking, I like to give every dog my one-to-one attention.
My forest adventure walks are adaptable depending on what your precious friend requires. There is always a mixture of playing, running, sniffing, chasing and enrichment games to tire your best friends out mentally as well as physically.
I always endeavour to create a special friendship and bond with your dog, so they love every walk, and they return home tired but happy.
Doggy Day Care
I offer an option of adaptable doggy day care in my comforting home. Your dog will enjoy lots of cuddles, games, love and attention, a real home from home.
At “EveryDayz” there is always time to play, have fun and relax!
I offer the following options:
- Half day
- Full day
- More flexible hours happily considered on request
- Visits to your home or garden (puppies/dogs that do not require full doggy day care)
- Your dog will be loved, cared for and fed (if required) whether at my home or yours
Luxury Dog Boarding
I offer a 5 * dog boarding service where your best friend can come and stay at my fully licenced home. A comfortable alternative to kennels, where your dog(s) will be my only guest(s) as one on one boarding has always been the cornerstone of my business.
I offer the following options:
- Single night boarding
- Short break away
- Holiday boarding (maximum 7 nights)

Testimonials
“Cookie, my rescue dog, and I are so grateful we found Everydayz Dog Walking. Cookie loves her walks with Karen and is always incredibly excited to go with her and comes back happy and tired. We've also made use of the doggy day care and boarding and I know Cookie is enjoying the best care and attention, and can see that in the photo updates. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Everydayz Dog Walking Services ”

“The puppers are all so lucky to have you, I don't think we as owners realise just how special you are and how unique your service is. Trust me as someone who literally can't come close to replacing you. Koda misses you and his furry friends so much. X ”
Amanda Chapple
“There are not enough words to describe the wonderful service given by Karen. She treats our dog Trevor with such love. Although Karen has walked Trevor for some time now he recently stayed with her while we were abroad - Karen even went out of her way without hesitation when our flight was delayed to ensure he was cared for. The regular photos and updates made us feel so relaxed about leaving him and I'm sure he didn't miss us one bit because of the care he received. We wouldn't leave him with anyone else. Highly recommend!! ”
Carolyn Griffith
“Where to start, BRILLIANT comes to mind. Karen is truly heaven sent and we are over the moon. It is amazing to be able to go away and know our baby is being spoiled. There truly are not enough words to express our gratitude. Karen goes above and beyond and kept us updated with beautiful pictures and messages. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!! ”
Jennifer Fisher-Conway
“Massive thanks to Karen Mathews @Everydayz Dog Walking for taking care of Bella whilst we were away on holiday. She had loads of fun and would highly recommend if you are looking for a friendly dog lover to look after you dog. Thank you Karen ”
Dan Bunday
“What amazing fun they have had. Such lovely walks and cuddles. Thanks for all the brilliant photos. You are so good with them. I will definitely be using your super services again. I never thought I would trust my dog with anyone else but your terrific personalised walks and wonderful calm way with the dogs have proven me wrong. Thank you. ”
Lynn Dowle
“Thank you so much Karen for safely looking after our two dogs and giving them a fantastic week of walks. You are brilliant with dogs and I wouldn't trust them with anyone else. The tailored and individual walks you do are second to none. I would recommend you to anyone who is looking for someone to walk, or board, their dogs. Thank you again. ”
Michelle Dowle
“Bea, our Cockapoo, had a wonderful mini break with Karen! Thoroughly spoilt with numerous walks and showered with love and attention. The many photos we received showed what a wonderful time she had. Can't recommend Karen at Everydayz Dog Walking highly enough for both dog boarding and dog walking. ”
Kerry Hill
“We cannot recommend Karen enough! Our 10 month old setter went for his first sleepover this week. After a bad experience with a previous boarder we were nervous, but Karen put us at ease instantly with her warm and caring nature. We couldn't believe how quickly Oakley settled with her and loved our picture updates. Karen is fantastic, we are so lucky to have found her and wouldn't dream of sending our boy anywhere else!!!! ”
Natalie
“We've just left our two dogs with Karen whilst we went on a mini break. Having a home from home environment where our dogs could go is a real peace of mind. Karen was totally devoted to them. We had lots of photos of them on their walks, playing in the water and looking very happy and then completely tired out back home asleep. Would definitely recommend Karen, who is obviously a genuine dog lover and we will be using her again..already planning our next break away. Thank you Karen ”
Tanya Young
“Our dog is very much a family member, when we entrust his care to someone else we want the best - Karen is exactly that! The love she shows him rivals ours, she puts our minds at ease and he has the best time with her. Karen has cared for our dog whilst we have been away and she has also walked him on days we have been to events. I will always use Karen and would actually rearrange holidays to make sure Cooper could stay with her - that's how good she is! ”
Lynette Wiffen
“One very lucky pup! Karen is fantastic and Bodhi would have stayed indefinitely given the chance!”
