A paw-sitively great time for your pooch!

Pet care experience

As I'm sure every dogsitter will say, there's nothing better than having a dog as a shadow to follow you around, play with and cuddle up to. I've had my own dog for five years now (Winston, male, Havanese - very friendly!), and have never looked back, and since he came out of puppyhood a few years ago, I've been dogsitting for friends and family whenever they need, as well as for dog owners nearby or through Rover. When your beloved dog stays with me, they will be walked twice a day, have lots of attention and belly rubs, and play, with both me and my own dog.

Poppy always has the best time in Candi’d care. We know every time she stays that she is in the best hands!

Our lovely boy Bob had the best little holiday of his own with Candida, Alex and Winston. In fact we were a bit concerned that he might not want to come home because they took such fantastic care of him! The communication regarding how Bob’s stay was going was helpful, reassuring and honestly really lovely to hear. Bob has very obviously been the recipient of some first class treatment and we couldn’t be more grateful. We are looking forward to being able to enjoy more time away now that we have found the perfect sitters!

Information Candida B. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any medication they need to take, or any supplements to go with their food. It would also be great to know if they have any limitations in terms of exercise (usually for senior dogs), as we will tailor our longer walks to suit your dog's needs and abilities.

A typical day

During the weekdays when I work from home, I will take your dog out for a morning walk (usually around 30-45 minutes) to the local park or on nearby country trails, followed by another shorter walk in the evening, with toilet breaks in the garden whenever they need. During the day there will be plenty of time for cuddles and play, and my own dog Winston is super playful too. On the weekends, me and my partner tend to go for much longer walks, and will, age and health dependent, take your dog out for 2-3 hours through the woods, for a swim, and to play with other dogs in the local area.

Availability

I work from home, so I am around all day to keep an eye (and provide doggy cuddles). I have my own dog, who I take for a long walk (around 30-45 minutes) in the morning, as well as a shorter walk in the evening (around 20-30 minutes), which is the routine I would generally stick to with your dog unless otherwise discussed. On the weekends, I would take your dog out for much longer walks (depending on their ability) out in the countryside as me and my partner are big lovers of rambling.
