6+ years in Professional animal care
Pet care experience
I’ve lived with big dogs and all other animals my entire life. I have lots of experience walking dogs and pet sitting all sorts of animals including snakes and livestock! Having been working on a professional event yard since I was 14 (Full time since finishing a-levels) and owning my own horses and dogs, I have the ultimate experience in animal care from basic needs to knowing what to do in unusual situations. I have worked alongside my Mum during my own dog’s pregnancy and with the puppies to 9weeks. Additionally, I spent 6 months working with rescue horses at the weekends who had more medical needs so have learnt to deal with those issues calmly and efficiently. I have been house sitting for many families for the last 3 years and love meeting new pets! References can be provided if you would like! I am more than happy to provide extra services as long as I know in advance. I also slot my life into the current pets so their schedule doesn’t change as their owners being away can be stressful enough. I am an early riser so very early walks or feeding times do not bother me. If you have other animals as well as dogs or cats I can cater for them too. E.g. horses to reptiles.
Reviews
Although I only met Berry very briefly I was more than happy to leave our pets in her capable hands for 10 days and know, via the photos we received, that they were very well looked after and had a lot of fun. Highly recommend and will use again.
Berry just stayed at our home and looked after our two dogs for 7 Days. I cannot recommend her enough! She is a very responsible young lady and very lovely. Most days we got updates and photos of her walking the dogs on the beach. My home was left immaculate, with clean bedding and she even made sure we had milk for a cup of tea when we got home! The next time I go away she will be the first person I ask. Thanks Berry for being so great and I am sure my dogs are a bit depressed and are missing you!
Berry did an amazing job looking after our dogs. She was very communicative and immediately grasped what was required. She kindly walked them and sent us photo updates of how they were getting on. Trustworthy and recommended. Thanks.
Berry came and house sat for my 4 dogs, 1 cat and 3 tortoises. Nothing I can write will do Berry justice, she was amazing, all my animals were cared for just as I would, she was professional from start to finish she listened to all the instructions, and kept to the there routine. The dogs had beautiful long walks, coats all brushed and smart when we returned, dog food all packed away on delivery house all clean and tidy. Berry had to deal with a tick which she noticed straight away and removed, as well as one of my dogs catching a squirrel! Nothing was to much trouble, she replied to my messages when I text and sent me regular pictures of how they were all doing as I had asked her too as I love seeing there little faces. Most importantly for me I could tell she loved my animals, her confidence with all situations was outstanding, and I will definitely be using Berry again. Thank you again Berry

Safety, trust & environment
My own garden is fully enclosed for animals as small as rabbits. I have large dog crates available and small pens should that be necessary. Photo of my garden in gallery for daytime boarding. At home we have dogs and cats so dogs must be able to cope with this.
Information Berry R. would like to know about your pet
On or off lead walks can be provided depending on the dogs training. If your dog has extra requirements or needs then please let me know in advance so I can cater for them.
A typical day
I love taking dogs on long walks through fields, woods and all environments to explore all the smells! I can bring toys with me if that’s what your dog prefers. If your dog likes swimming I can go to places where that is possible. If owners are comfortable for them to be in my car then I can take them even more places to explore.

Availability
I currently work short shifts at a cafe 4-5 days a week, so the pets would be left alone for no longer than the recommended time. I can discuss this all further in chats if there are any questions or queries. I have cleared it at my job that if I was to do a longer shift during a house sit then I would need a long enough break to return home and let them out for a wee or a stretch of the legs. If you are looking for a drop in visit for 60 minutes +, I can offer that at an addition £9 per hour for as many hours as you are wishing. Just let me know in your initial message after requesting a booking.
