I prefer dogs!
Pet care experience
I have grown-up with dogs in the family home and then when I was old enough I was able to have my own. I’ve had a Huntaway cross, Border Collie and a Romanian Shepherd. I did dog walking for neighbours and family when I was younger and have now changed jobs so that I have more flexibility with my time. I enjoy being in the company of animals and caring for them, I will try to follow any training requirements that you are using to avoid confusion when out walking. I understand that dogs have different personalities and can’t always be treated in the same way, for example, my own dogs are very different, one is carefree, ball mad and not really bothered by people or dogs and the other is very reactive to new people and can be easily spooked on walks. I would always prefer to meet a new dog with their owner, so that we can ensure the dog is happy and familiar with a new person.
Reviews
Amy was amazing. She came to meet my dog, Sidney, beforehand and had already researched the breed. Sid took to her immediately. She was super reliable during the stay - sending pics and messages frequently. Sid was really calm and happy when I got back. Highly recommend
Amy has two rescue dogs of her own. She is a mature very responsible person. She was brought up in a dog owning family and is very conscious of all factors concerning dog behaviour and needs as well as the consideration of others towards dogs. She loves dogs and indeed all animals and is and ideal person to care for them.

I will follow any instructions given regarding care of your dog, whilst out and about and in your home. I understand the need for routines and want people to feel happy with who is looking after their dog.
Information Amy O. would like to know about your pet
Any behavioural traits or medical issues. Likes and dislikes. Lead type and whether a harness is used or not etc. Feeding requirements and what treats can be used.
A typical day
Walks can be tailored to the needs of the dog- big open spaces or calmer on-lead walks. I’m happy to continue with any training methods that are being used as I understand the need for consistency. A favourite game for my dogs is ‘sniff hide and seek’ using a handful of kibble, hiding it around the garden and letting my dogs sniff it out.
