Pet care experience

Home from home pet care!

I've been around dogs for as long as I can remember. Growing up my family would foster rescue dogs, so we often had dogs live with us with complex behavioural and medical needs. My entire adult life I have owned my own pets and have regularly cared for those of my friends and family. I work from home with flexible hours, so will always be around for your pet. They will never be left alone during their stay here. I also take all visiting dogs out with me, such as visiting family or for dinner, so they will get plenty of socialising during their stay.

Ziggy was once again well looked after while we took a short weekend away. No concerns at all :)

Once again, everything went perfectly. It’s a relief knowing Ziggy is in good hands, especially during extreme weather. She came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for.

I would highly recommend Ben if you’re looking for a dog sitter. Communication was quick and clear, and he gave us updates on how Jude was getting on during her stay and took her for a lovey long walk. We’ll be using Ben again!

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced garden and are right next to the river for plenty of walking. If your dog sleeps upstairs with you, I will replicate this during their stay with me so they feel as comfortable as possible.

Pets

A typical day

A typical day with me, starts with a short 20 minuet walk after drop off followed by some play time. I'd usually then get on with work for a few hours as your dog is resting. At lunch time I can provide hour long walks if required, and then a third short walk in the afternoon prior to them being collected.

Cats
0 to 7 kg
7 to 18 kg
18 to 45 kg

Let me know if any specific needs that your pet may have prior to their stay. This means I can ensure they are as comfortable as possible.
