Specialise in Elderly Dogs

Pet care experience

I have had dogs all my life and sadly we lost our two 17 year old Golden Retrievers, Nevis and Tummel, last year and I'm so missing giving (and getting) the love. Nevis only had three legs so I am used to working with a harness and giving meds. I used to cook all their food fresh so happy to do this also if a preference. We have an enormous Mercedes estate car with a low back for easy dog access so happy to take dogs on day trips. I am retired and do volunteer work only so have plenty of time to care for other dogs. This is not a career but a love, so would only be with your dog(s) and not be trying to maximise walk time with other pets. We have a large house with a large walled in deck and garden all open plan so easy and safe for dogs. We live 2 minutes from beach and wood and fields so ideal walking environment.

What an incredible lady Aileen is ♥️ My two little dogs were taken into Aileen’s home and she treated them as if they were her own. She surrounded them with love and care and looked after them fantastically. Daily updates and wonderful pictures of them having fun - I genuinely couldn’t recommend Aileen highly enough, an absolute pleasure to know you and have you care for my dogs x

Simply the best! 10 stars will be the correct score. Aileen goes above and beyond our expectations. She loved Balto like her own dog.

Aileen is a wonderful caregiver who has been around dogs all her life. I understand she is interested in looking after senior dogs in particular which is great because she has the experience to provide the attentiveness and extra support they need. I actually was hired by her to assist in looking after her two seventeen year old Golden Retriever brothers from 2016-18 on both the East Coast and West Coast. She knows from personal experience that a dog’s guardian wants to be kept in touch with and updated on their dog’s daily well being including photos. As a retired person, free to do what she pleases, love and enjoyment of dogs is her sole reason for reaching out to care for them.
