Hi, I’m Angela, I’m 32yrs old and live in Monks Eleigh. I have recently developed this new found love of mine into RIO’s RETREAT SUFFOLK which I run alongside Rover. If you would like details of Rio’s retreat Suffolk please let me know or check out our website. I am fully licensed & insured. I have updated my profile to enable a better insight into what I do & who I am. I have recently left the police having worked as a police officer in London. I have gone back into health care to enable a better work life balance and to do what I love… be with animals. I grew up on a small holding with a range of livestock & cattle. I was lucky enough to grow up with and around gun dogs who I just adore; the crazier the better 😂. WHY IM DOING THIS I started rover to fill a void, I left an abusive marriage which resulted in my horse & dog being given away. I missed animals & being outside so I started rover hoping to meet a few pups. I have been extremely lucky & grateful to meet some amazing families and their lovely fluffy friends. I never expected to be as busy as I have been and I couldn’t ask for kinder people to welcome me into their homes. Whilst looking after your animals I only ever have one animal boarding at a time. I also only do solo dog walks. I’m not interested in over filling my home or putting dogs at risk by walking 10 at a time just to make money. Your animal is purely my priority and has all my time and attention. I’m more than happy to take your pets out for long walks, drive to parks, vet checks ect. No preferences or needs are too big or too small, Even just throw a ball and have lots of cuddles. I had a cocker spaniel and as long as he had his ball and his mum that’s all he needed :) MY PETS I am very lucky to have the sweetest & kindest Labrador who was kindly rehomed to me through rover. She loves people & dogs more then anything but if your dog boards with us we have arrangements in place if your dog cannot be kept with other dogs. I also have rescue cats & Guinea pigs who are out the way of staying pets. SO WHY AM I DOING THIS? I love long walks, muddy paws and slobbery kisses more than anyone could imagine. I adore animals, I am a very patient and sensible person, so whatever your pet or their personality, we will get along just fine. I’m happy for regular updates and perfectionist owners who want to leave me lists (please tell me I’m not the only one who does this haha) Please feel free to ask me any questions. I am fully DBS checked & have full public liability cover.
