Pet care experience
Love Dogs
I've taken care of dogs since I was a child: my own, as well as those belonging to friends and family. I have also done volunteer work at a kennel. I understand dogs have individual needs, and I am careful in following any notes from owners on how to best care for their specific dog. Although I'll look after multiple dogs when they come from the same home, I only take one job at a time because it's much better for your dog's safety. But this means that I turn down offers from other people so I can keep your dates clear. Please keep this in mind if you schedule a meet and greet with me, as I've had a few people who just don't turn up.

What a dog sitter!!!! Dean is absolutely 1st class dog sitter ! He welcomed our dog dodge into his house and took perfect care of him loads of long walks and we had updates with pictures and videos every day …dean takes into count all your dog needs and more when he looks after them and is very very caring ,dodge enjoyed his stay with Dean and has become his freind !! When we met Dean he asks all the right things about your dog and it showed us how much he was going to care and look after dodge ….the finest detail ! Dodge has now got his own personal dog sitter and we won’t even look anywhere else …this was the 1st time we had left our dog with anyone since we have had him and was a bit worried about it but trust me Dean is the best as far as we are concerned…dodge will be back at deans every holiday we have now and we know dodge will be getting a holiday as well at Deans ….thank you so much Dean for everything love from us but especially love from dodge xx woof woof
Can't recommend Dean enough. We would usually board our dog Nala at the kennels but due to a late notice trip we couldn't get her booked in. Was very nervous of using a sitter initially as we hadn't before, but having met Dean for a meet and greet we where completely assured she would be in safe hands. Nala took to him straight away and Dean was very thorough, asking lots of questions about nalas care and her/our preferences. We had lovely daily updates with pictures which showed Nala was clearly settled and completely relaxed and content with Dean. We had let him know beforehand that Nala has been nibbling at her leg and kept opening it causing this to bleed, having forgotten to pack nalas anticeptic spray Dean took her to the petstore and bought a spray for her leg, Dean confirmed with us we where happy for him to use this and her leg had almost completely healed and scabbed over when we came to pick her up. The care and attention Dean showed for Nala was brilliant and we would be more than happy to have Nala stay with him again, even asking would he be happy to have her stay again in future when we went to collect her. Thankyou so much Dean you where brilliant and I'm sure you'll be seeing Nala again in future if you're available (we hope so!)
Dean is the best dog sitter. He kept me updated everyday, which included photo updates. I had no worries whilst my dog was in his care, and I knew my dog would be very safe there. My dog is not the easiest, however dean knew exactly how to look after him, and treated him like his own dog. I am very happy with how Dean looked after my dog, and will definitely be booking again!!! Thanks again dean!!! :)
Thanks Dean, you’ve done an amazing job. You took really good care of Moira when she needed some extra TLC. She was looking so good when we picked her up, you really went above and beyond to keep her happy and comfortable.
Dean showed great care for Larry. Would certainly recommend!
Dean was an excellent Dogsitter. He very kindly provided daily updates and our dog was clearly very happy with him. Loved seeing her chilling and playing at his home and will definitely be using him again Thanks Dean!

Schedule
I work from home as a proofreader, which is all done from my laptop. This means I will always be with your dog during their time with me, and I can attend to anything they need straight away.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I carefully follow any instructions from an owner on how to best care for their dogs (diet, medication, etc.). I give them lots of attention and exercise. When working in someone's residence, I have the utmost respect for their home.
A typical day
There is a football field and woods just down the road from me, where I take dogs for long walks. I have a fenced garden a lot of the dogs who stay here enjoy mooching around and playing in. Depending on your dog's requirements, my home can be a playground or a relaxation centre: it all depends on what they need.
