Dog lover and former dog shop assistant

Pet care experience

I have enjoyed the company and caring for dogs since a young age. My family dog of 5 years allowed me to first experience what it truly means to form a special relationship with a four legged friend. She joined the family when she was old. However, whilst I may have missed out on the puppy years with her, I instead was able to enjoy her golden years. Having an older dog taught me how important a relationship is in being able to truly provide them with the care they need and deserve. I am a former dog shop assistant, where on a daily basis I interacted with dogs of all breeds, sizes and ages. I have developed my skills and confidence with dogs beyond just personal experience to professional care and service, ranging from harness fittings, nutritional advice, and general dog care advice.

Ciara is wonderful! Our boy loved her immediately. She sent loads of sweet pictures of the two of them playing and snuggling :) Highly recommend.

Ciara and Joe were great! We have 3 dogs, big and small, and they handled them brilliantly! We got regular photos updates on how everyone was doing and all the dogs seemed happy and well exercised when we got home. Thanks so much! Definitely recommend!

My partner Joseph will also accompany me and help me out with any dog care if you are happy with this. He is an avid dog lover and has helped me with lots of dog care before. All the dogs love him! He is great with dogs, enjoys playing with them and attending to their needs. I love devoting all my time to the dogs in my care and I pay attention to all their needs. Additionally, I completely understand that being apart from your fur baby can be a time of worry and I want to minimise that, so, I always ensure I am completely contactable at all times by sending regular photo/video/text updates.

Information Ciara H. would like to know about your pet

For me, it is important to know of any particular stimulants that your dog may be reactive to outdoors and indoors. The less stress inducing factors that are present means your dog will be more content and settled when away from their pawrents! Also, it is important for me to know of any dietary requirements, allergies, and/or health conditions that your dog has.

A typical day

I really believe mental stimulation is important for dogs! I have some enrichment toys such as kongs, lick mats and snuffle balls that can keep dogs entertained! I also love providing dogs with toys for them to play with or….destroy? And of course who can forget about cuddle time too!
