Care For Brachycephalic Breeds 🫶🏼
Hi, I’m Danielle! I had my gorgeous French Bulldog for 9.5 years, so I have lots of first-hand experience with the extra care and attention brachycephalic breeds can need. I’ve also previously pet-sat alongside my flatmate, caring for dogs with different personalities and routines. I work part-time from home and live with my mum and brother, so I’m home most of the time and can offer plenty of company, cuddles and supervision. I know every dog has their own little routine, personality and quirks — and I’ll genuinely listen to you about yours! No instruction is too weird or overly specific. If your dog likes something done a particular way, that’s how I’ll do it. 🤍 I’m particularly confident with Frenchies and other brachy breeds, including being mindful of breathing, temperature, exercise, feeding and knowing when something doesn’t seem quite right. I also know how nerve-racking it can be leaving your dog with somebody else, so you can expect regular communication, photos and little check-ins while they’re with me. 🐶📸
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
My home is very dog-friendly, with a completely secure fenced garden, gates on doors/stairs where needed, and plenty of cosy places to relax. I also have steps for getting on and off the sofa and a dog buggy available for dogs with IVDD, back problems or limited mobility. My main approach is to make their stay feel as much like home as possible. I’ll follow your dog’s normal routine, feeding times, sleeping arrangements, medication and house rules — even the little quirks that might sound silly to anyone else! If they’re crate-trained, I’m happy to use their crate, and if they’re used to sleeping in bed with someone, they’re welcome to do that too. 🤍 Safety is really important to me. Dogs will always be kept on lead outside of secure areas, I’m cautious around unfamiliar dogs, and I’m particularly attentive to any existing health conditions or changes in behaviour, breathing, eating or general wellbeing. If anything concerns me, however small, I’ll contact you straight away rather than assuming it’s nothing. I’ll also keep you updated as much or as little as you’d like, with regular photos, messages and check-ins so you can relax knowing your dog is safe, settled and being very well looked after. 🐾

Schedule
I work part-time from home and, due to living with an autoimmune illness, I naturally spend a lot of my time at home, so your dog will have plenty of company and rarely be left alone. 🤍 On weekdays I enjoy two gentle local walks each day, with lots of time at home for garden breaks, cuddles, play and relaxing together. At weekends, my mum, brother and I often enjoy little trips to a garden centre, coffee shop, park or occasionally the beach, and I’d be very happy for your dog to join us if that’s something they enjoy too! Everything will always be adapted to your dog’s usual routine, age and needs — particularly with brachycephalic breeds. Walks and outings will be adjusted or avoided during hot weather, and I’m very mindful of temperature and breathing.
