Pet care experience

NO Paws 🐾 are to Big Or to Small 🐾

I have over 10 years experience working with dogs , starting with 4 years at the Rspca My local animal shelter where I assisted with all the vetting , making home visits to potential adopters and helping out with day to day duties around the kennels and the centre. I have been home boarding / walking for over 10 years , My home is happy , fun & loving offering lots of walks being surrounded by some lovely safe parks inc Elvaston castle & Darley park. I understand leaving your beloved pet behind can be hard. I’m happy to do a meet and greet before so you can see for yourself that your pet will be in caring hands. This will also give me the opportunity to meet your pet, go through your pets routine, requirements, special needs and favourite activities. All pets will be looked after to the highest standard and treated how I would want mine to be treated if I was to leave him (plenty of cuddles, love, play and full tummy Myself & my partner are home all day everyday so No dog will be left alone for any major duration ( 1 hr Max ) , Our garden is fully secure with a 7ft fence , patio doors from the lounge are always open ( weather permitting). I have experience with all dog breeds from Yorkshire terriers to XL Bully's , I have No residential pets so all dogs boarding or being walked will be exclusive ( unless from the same family ) I will send daily updates to owners photos / videos etc We use a secure field ( secure paws ) locally where we take high energy dogs to be off the lead and have a good run & play . We welcome all sized Paws 🐾🐾 into our home and look forward to yours being apart of our circle . Carla & Steve

Our sprollie Chelsea was really well looked after during her stay. We also received regular photo updates, which was so reassuring and lovely to see while we were away. Would happily book again!

Freddie had a great time with Carla! She kept us up-to-date with photos and videos throughout their time together, and made us feel at ease. She and her partner were very kind and welcoming and we'd definitely come back!
