I love caring for my friends' cats and dogs. This includes puppies and older dogs, with special dietary requirements, walking several dogs at once, and caring for some who have a tendency to try to chase small fluffy things...! When checking in on outdoor cats, I will come back at different times of day to try to find them home and spend a little time giving them attention, and to ensure they eat. I've cared for puppies in house training. You'll see from one of my photos l've even made bespoke outfits for friends' doggos! I work from home, usually only going into the office one day a week. I love to walk in all weathers and am able to schedule in as many walks as your pet would enjoy. I'm generally home in the evenings so can fit around their meal times too. I check on all aspects of diet and daily care, especially with picky eaters or older pets who struggle with appetite. I am very conscientious around safety of your pets and other animals when walking, and if ever transporting an animal in my car. I have no issues with heavy lifting so if this is necessary to support an older pet into areas of the house they need to go, it's not a problem. I like a tidy, calm, environment so your pet won't feel unsettled while you're away. Requested information about your pet When I first visit before confirming a booking I like to know where your pet is allowed to go in the house, favourite toys and if you keep them tidied away with one coming out at a time so they don't lose interest, any things that scare them, if they're picky eaters needing warm water in their food or company/ encouragement to eat, and any treats or favourite rewards. If your dog pulls on their lead, I am happy to lead train them, and always suggest they have a harness to avoid health issues. Wondering how it works? I come to stay and bring my own food, I just need a room to sleep in. I’m happy to put out the bins, take in your parcels etc. I clean after myself when I leave.
