Animal Lover With Private Courtyard By Hove Lawns

Pet care experience

Myself and my family have always had lots of animals, and they genuinely bring me so much joy. Just seeing a dog on the street brings a huge smile to my face every single time. I quit being a postman to commit fully to animal care, and it’s the best decision I ever made. I absolutely love every minute I get to spend with people’s pets. Like they say - “Enjoy what you do for a living, and you’ll never work a day in your life.” I aim to always care for one pet at a time unless instructed otherwise, so your pets will always get my full love and attention, and there is no worry of potential conflict with other pets. I have cared for many animals over the years, and I now regularly look after many people’s pets, including regular boarding, house sitting, drop-ins and walks. I also often look after and walk my family’s dogs, and I regularly dog/cat sit for friends. I volunteered at an animal welfare centre in Thailand and fell in love with a new dog and cat every day. I have experience with blind, senior and arthritic dogs, and with administering medication. I live on my own in a small but lovely flat, with a private courtyard which your dogs can enjoy, and just two minutes away are the expansive Hove lawns, seafront and parks. My flat is on a small back street with minimal noise. There is a private buzzer for my home and three door security. Whether your pet is lively or prefers to nap I can offer a cosy, safe place for them to enjoy. My aim is to give your pets an enjoyable stay away from home and make them as comfortable and happy as possible. As I’m so close to the Hove lawns and seafront, I’m in an ideal place to give your dogs the exercise they require. I look forward to meeting your four legged friends. I’m currently in the process of becoming animal first aid certified.

Billy did an amazing job looking after Eddy, our rescue greyhound. I was quite nervous as Eddy has never stayed away from our home while we have been away before, but it was very clear Eddy had a wonderful time with Billy. Billy sent us lots of photos and provided a calm, peaceful environment for Eddy, which was absolutely ideal for him. Billy gave Eddy lots of love, care and attention and made sure all his needs were met. Eddy is a big dog who has a high prey drive as a result of his racing history and hasn't had much socialisation with other breeds. Billy handled Eddy really well, they clearly bonded over the short period of 4 days and Eddy came back a very happy dog. We would definitely recommend Billy to others and we would give Billy more than 5 stars if we could :)

I quit my job as a postman to focus primarily on animal care, so I have plenty of time to give your pets the attention they deserve. I am very flexible, and happy to work out whatever is best for the pets and owners.
