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 longer walks (depending on their ability) out in the countryside as me and my partner are big lovers of rambling.

I live in a house with a small enclosed garden space where I can take the dogs out for wees regularly, and I always keep an eye whenever they're out there. When I go for a walk, I'll keep the dog on the lead unless otherwise discussed, and always when by the side of a road or in fields full of livestock!

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 longer walks, and will, age and health dependent, take your dog out for a couple of hours through the woods, for a swim, and to play with other dogs in the local area.

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 seven years now (Winston, male, Havanese - very friendly!), and have never looked back, and since he came out of puppyhood, 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.

Finn loves his stays with Candida and family. He is always eager to say 'hello' and knows he'll have an enjoyable time. So much happier than going to kennels. Looking forward to his next stay.
