As explained in my bio I work from home so I am typically always in the house during a normal working day. I walk my dog twice a day morning and evening where we go to the nearby field and play fetch or go for a country walk in the surrounding public footpaths. However I can accommodate 3 walks a day if that is what your dog is used to. We have a decent sized fenced garden and I let my dog go out as much as she wants to and I would do the same for yours. If he or she likes company I can set up their dog bed in my study and they can be by my side at all times.

Safety, trust & environment

As I explained the garden is a good size (around 90m2) and is fenced so there is no way out. I am happy to walk off lead at your recommendation particularly if they like to play fetch but would keep them on the lead otherwise. We have 3 children age ranges 0 to 9 and my older two love to see new dogs and will typically get me to ask if we may pet them whilst we are out and about. As we have a cat dogs who are used to them are preferred. Either way my cat will typically hide at first as she did when we got our dog but with time she learns to trust them.

Let me know how they do with other dogs, if they've been around cats before as well as children. Let me know if they are allowed off the lead and what their recall is like.

A typical day

Morning walk around 7.30 either to the nearby playing field where we play fetch or into countryside through public footpaths. Whilst I work I set up the dog toys on the dog bed, at lunch time they can go out in the garden. If your dog is used to three daily walks there would be a shorter one around 2pm otherwise the second walk and final walk in the evening usually between 5pm and 8pm depending on our schedule.

Pet care experience

I've had dogs for the past 8 years and have previously looked after family and friends dogs too as my day job (environmental economist) is 100% remote from home. This means I am always at home with my Golden doodle Briannah and would love to extend our hometo other dogs too either for day care or dog boarding. I enjoy an active life style and live in rural Dorrington within a short walk from an open field and countryside with plenty of opportunities for dogs to exercise on or off the lead.

Carlos has looked after and cared for both of my dogs. My old labrador loved going to stay with Carlos, her whole rear end would wag with excitement. Never shut in a single room, she had the whole house and garden to wander around and found their couch so comfortable! Long walks, good food, cuddles and treats kept her happy. My new puppy loves the day care option, while I work and bonus, she gets to stay and play all day with their dog Bree.
