As I'm at home daily except Friday and Saturday. I'll leave my back door open to my garden. My garden has grass and plants around the borders. Your pet can come and go as they want. Once I've done some work, I'll take a break and take your dog out to Jubilee park, which is around the corner. We'll have an hour or so depending on the weather in the park. Then we'll come back the slow way via capital retail park and maybe get a hot chocolate from Costa. Then we'll come home and I'll open the back door to my garden again. Then I'll do more work, while your dog shouts at the cats next-door 🤣 When we go out to the park we'll play and if no other animals I'll let your dog off the lead. We'll play catch & depending on the size of your dog will depend on how long we stay out. My friends dog Luna is a samoyed, a Siberian working dog, she's always happy & excitable. You can take her out for hours & she never tires but she loves my garden & shouting at the cats next-door

I'll care for your pets like my own. My cats lived until they were 18 &1/2 Charlie & 19 &1/2 Chewy. I had them since they were 6 weeks old. It's heartbreaking to lose them. I would treat your animals like my own with love, kindness& a bit of strictness. I trained my cats that when they had fights that got rougher I would clap my hands loudly & they'd separate & both run off together 🤣. If you have a way to treat or disapline them I will do that. I'm there to make sure your animals are safe, happy & well loved while you are away. I'll send you video & photo updates daily if you want. I know what it's like to go away & leave your pets with someone. I want to help you have a good relaxing holiday and your animals to be happy & carefree while you're gone. When my friend comes to pick up Luna, she was in 2 minds whether to go 🤣. Her owner opened the back door to the car & called her but she stayed next to me 😊 I told her I'd see her soon & go, then she did. I'm just happy she enjoyed herself with me. I hope your animals will feel the same way when I take them into my home or I come to yours.

Pet care experience

I've had animals all my life. My folks always had dogs when growing up from Great Danes to Dalmatians. They also had pedigree Persians cats, which they bred. So I've helped our cats with their deliveries. Since i lived in my own house. I had 2 cats who lived until they were 18 &1/2, Charlie & 19 &1/2 Chewy, my boys were 6 weeks old when we got them. I'm having a break from getting anymore pets for now. I have had my friends dog Luna come to stay for a night or a few days. Luna is a samoyed breed, like a husky but wider. She's all white & built like a tank 😊 She's really excited for everything & everything & loves spending time at my house. I have a large garden with grass & I have a house, with a front concrete drive. I live around the corner from Jubilee Park, which is great to let dogs off the lead when empty. I leave my back door open so animals can come & go into the garden. Luna loves it she currently lives in a flat & doesn't have a garden. When she comes to mine she has more space & free run of my garden. So that's why I'm calling my service a doggie spa day, they will have a garden, walks, play, space, attention, as well as the normal food & water....edit I moved to a ground-floor flat with a patio garden in October 2025. You are welcome to visit my flat to view or I can send a video of the garden. Ask any questions, if you & your dog are happy then we'll get along great, thanks Diane 😊

Diane was fantastic with our dog jasper. She clearly just loves to have animals around and she really looked after him well. She catered for the heat excellently and even took jasper out for late night walks so he didn't go without exercise. Would highly recommend!

Diane was fantastic with my cockapoo, Oakley. Very informative while i was away by sending photos and messages keeping me updated. Oakley.was very relaxed for a nervous dog. I would highly reccomend 🙂
