Hey please read all of this profile before messaging Thank you 🙏 So firstly I am astounded that I am having to even write this on my profile/website but unfortunately due to some extremely and very rude people I have to. I want any future clients to no that this is my business and I don’t have another job I take my role as a sitter very serious when it comes to looking after your dogs especially to be part of there life’s. Pet sitting has two sides to it. The first side being the cuddles and love you give and receive but the then you have a legal obligation to them also which many people don’t realise we have. as The legislation changed in October 2018 that all dog sitters have to have be licensed regardless if your only doing for a few months threw summer to day in day out 365 days of the year. I am a bit in disbelief that I even have to put this on my profile but sadly I have had to. I have over 30 years experience and the laws around daycare and boarding changed in 2018. So with that being said there are many rules and regulations we have to adhere to without that it’s against the law to do so and can result in serious consequences and you can receive a criminal conviction and or both a fine then banned to ever being able to obtain a future licence so it is extremely important for us as responsible sitters to have to abide by these conditions. For us to be able to do this we have to have certain information regarding your dog along with your names,address phone numbers, email, chip numbers, insurance details emergancy contacts, behaviour, vets etc, etc with the information you supply that enables me to keep within my licence conditions and that can help me make your dogs time as safe and lovely as possible. I will ask you to sign terms and conditions and also provide me with a schedule of your dogs day so I can keep your dog as close to home life as possible the information is only used while we have your dogs it’s not used in any other way and I have to abide by data protection laws. We as sitters are responsible for the life, wellbeing and happiness of any dog we agree to look after until the owner returns. Thankfully doggie daycare and Doggie Boarding this is regulated and is also inspected from our local council, RSPCA we cannot refuse any inspections day or not neither a planned or on surprise on the spot inspection as this should be if anything laws around dogs should be made a lot more tighter and tougher for those who don’t have a license. I want to briefly want also let people know about licences and how there obtained which is issued from the local council you DO NOT !!! get a licence unless you have had that visit from a licencing officer and then also the following : Firstly you have to have a current Animal First aid and CPR certification, You have to applie to your local council of which you have to do a lot of paperwork, Fire Safety, Risk assessments and written policy’s and your own procedures of what you use part of your business these have to meet the legal requirements you also have to have written vet authority and many other things. Just because you may be a member of many dog advertising sites and you have insurance or from them by working and advertising on any website nor buying public liability you have had a dog all your life from little this doesn’t qualify as a license. You cannot operate until you have your licence there are no exceptions at all you have to have all of the above before you can take a dog for boarding. There are no excuses and hopefully if you haven’t got a licence you should be shut down. The final thing I would like to say before you can get into reading about me and my experience obviously my reviews speak loads about me, also I have a licence, I am completely honest and will tell you if I don’t think we are a good fit I am and have current qualifications and am yearly retaking them as new things are introduced. So when your choosing your sitter pls bear in mind this “ If you have a child, children, niece or nephew and you need to get say a child minder you would not leave them with someone that you haven’t had a conversation with by phone or email initially with first or if they don’t have any experience in looking after children, first aid or have child minding licence or even any crimes against children so why would let someone look after your dog without letting the person you select for this your phone number or email address surely the ones that won’t make a call or send you an email and pictures of there facilities to let you have an in-site to where your dog will be are the ones you need to avoid. If you want to book with me you will need to give me these details like what I spoke about above. I do apologise that we proper sitters that have had to jump threw hoops and fire, by doing exams and following guidelines and rules and that this is my main business those of you are genuinely wanting to book daycare or boarding I am sorry that you have had to read all of this and with the other things before you actually get to the about me !!! I am sorry but people have to ruin something so beautiful and enjoyable for us to be able to enjoy all breeds of dogs and meet some lovely kind and genuine customers that then become very good friendships also to provide us with one of the best jobs I am sorry for this and also thank you for your booking and custom from the past to the future if you are not willing to tell me about your 4 legged family bundle of joy then I am probably not the sitter for you those of you I am thank you and see you soon 🥰 🥰BOOKING FOR 2024 Some dates still available "". 🐩 🐕 🐶 !!!!! Why don't you provisionally book now for summer dates??? once they have gone unfortunately they are gone"""" However waiting for my licence so I can provisionally book but can't complete booking till I have my licence "" ** I want to say before you read my profile my reviews are very real and verified"" **huge amount of repeat bookings** *currently taking new customers ** ""Booking for next year get you:dates in they can be changed easily not so easy to make a space for you!! Please also don't be offended that if I have bookings here and you follow them once they leave which I try to have a day in between the ending of there's to the start of yours I don't normally give my address out until they have gone it's only for extra security and the best interest of the dog or dogs that are here and my own. There's no disrespect and please don't take it personal. Obviously if you have been here before then it's doesn't matter. Although if you need the the address for sat nav or to plan your journey then please let me no thank you in advance for being understanding. I want to take this opportunity to welcoming you❤️🥰❤️ I look forward to meeting and loving your fur baby's. PLEASE READ ALL THE WAY TO THE END so you have the best view on what I have to offer. The first bit of this profile are important so pls read this as I hope it will answer any concerns right from the start. The Boring Bits .............. *** I have mentioned this later on in my profile I WANT TO IN ADVANCE APOLOGISE THAT IF I ALREADY A BOOKING/s THEN I WILL NOT BE ABLE TO DO A MEET AND GREET at the same time the reasons for not being able to offer them are as follows: (1,) For Security for the dog. If I have bookings and don’t have a free day which many are back to back I can’t do a meet the safety and welfare of the boarding dog has to be priority. if I had your dog here the same thing would apply (2,) For safety reasons if a customers dog gets out (which has never happened) but I have many different types of dogs there’s a chance that you could also get bitten. (3,) If I have your dog I would have to leave it inside on its own whilst I do a meet and greet with a strange person which it can take 10 mins to 2 hours and I don't offer a kennel service it is purely home from home boarding and I wouldn't want my dog left whilst someone was arranging another booking whilst I am paying for the care for my dog. (4,) The boarding dog has more of a possibility of an escape route as all concentration will be on the meet and greet dog not the boarding dog. I am sorry if this causes a problem I just don’t want the boarding dog to be anyway compromised whilst in my care the time spent with us is a happy and positive stay. However, I can send pictures and videos of the house, garden and my dogs so you you can see where they will be. *** HANDOVERS/PICK UPS ARE DONE OUTSIDE IN GARDEN*** (due to a serious health condition of a family member this has been since COVID and don’t do inside tours this is also our home!!! I can send you pictures as previously mentioned, we can FaceTime live so I can give you a Virtual tour that absolutely fine) ** if you do have a holiday in the pipeline please book in advance to avoid disappointment. There is also time for a trial booking before your holiday if needed and I always say “it’s better to be booked in as it’s easier to change and move the date then to try to fit you in” We get a phenomenal amount in of booking requests and my regulars will get priority however I would never cancel to accommodate. So once you make a firm booking I intend to complete that and I also ask that of yourself if you don't think your going to need a booking please don't cancel this the day before if you think there are or may be the chance of you not being able to comple the booking please give as much notice so I can offer the dates out to people who maybe waiting for them or cancellations. So......... the boating bit out the way let's talk🥰I have been a dog owner all my life from little. I also have dogs myself & no how important it is to be able to leave your darling pooch in the hands of someone that will look after them give them the love they need. I have 29 years of experience dealing and owning various breeds, i have a expertise in Animal Science including first aid, Training, CPR I studied to be a veterinarian but stopped as wasn't to good with the operations however I worked in many practices as a veterinary nurse, also in many kennels. My parents owned this company previously to me so it's been established a lot longer then I have taken over. I am with them 24hrs a day 7 days a week so they are never left on there own they have constant supervision. I take one booking at the time for the reason that I can give them more one on one love then i could if i took more then one booking. It's not quantity its quality and I offer a kind, warm and comfortable happy home for the to rest their paws while you rest your right up until you return. My mum was a retired German Shepard champion breeder & also in various small breeds as am I. We breed and supplied German Shepard's to the police and in the private sector so visiting the puppies are not a problem at all in fact we love it 🥰 Here we accept all ages of dogs for a sitting and Daycare and drop in visiting services. I am extremely reliable and will not cancel on you at all I have never in the whole time of being involved with dog sitting/daycare/drop-in visits/grooming cancelled a booking as I know such a lot of them do. As well as being experienced in all aspects from nose to tail i can offer continued support and advise if need on training/grooming for new pups to new Owners as well. I understand how anxious i get about leaving my babies so I am here to help not only dogs but also the owners I don't believe in locking dogs in cages & don't really like the thought of kennels so yr babies will be treated like part of our family whilst there with us plenty of dog loves, kisses. they will have constant contact 24hrs a day. I do want to stress that if your use creates for your dog then this will be adhered to and am happy to do so) My dog sleeps in my bedroom, and was sleeping on my bed but since recently they now sleep in there beds in my room if yours are allowed on the bed that's fine.If yours is only allowed in a certain area/s of the house, or you have a certain routine this will also be adhered to. They will never be left unattended. I am a qualified groomer and can also a offer Grooming and general tidy up if required without a booking also but not in peak season nor why a dog is here boarding. The receive a daily brush and clean as mine are brushed every day at no extra cost. am kind caring person which I think gives your baby a relaxing place to rest their paws whilist you relax yours. I offer a professional service to keep your baby happy and safe. I have years of experience and also fully qualified to look after your baby everything from nose to tail so at least you have complete confidence knowing that your bundle of joy is in good hands. I am also very honest which believe it or not is an must being in this job. If you have any special recommendations that you would like for your pampered pooch it will be adhered to at all times. I have both front and a very secure back garden which is 180 ft long with 6ft fences and it’s more like 9-10ft as all access points are fitted with trellises for extra height so in turn can offer plenty of fresh air & games outside of which they will be supervised at all times. In summertime I have paddling pools and plenty of cooling watery games and also air conditioning throughout so if you don’t won’t your baby to get wet then please advise off this which is no problem as I have alternative things to keep them cool. There are no escape areas & flower friendly and also fully cctv in operation 24hrs a day front and back inside every room in the home which has has motion sensors and recording that comes through to my phone. There are gates on every door making it impossible to get out so there will be no escapes which is also a bonus 😂 (that is a joke in case you thought I was serious) If you have any questions don't hesitate to contact me I will keep constant contact with you whilist your pooch is with me send regular dog updates pictures,videos, via what’s app or iMessage. You can FaceTime your baby if you miss them to much.
