•Hello 👋, I'm Liz (lifelong animal lover)!• I am a fully insured pet minder. I've been self employed on a part-time/ad hoc basis, through Rover, since 2022 and thoroughly enjoy time with all manner of furry clients! Alongside my own personal insurance, Rover provides 'The Rover Guarantee' for each and every booking! All bookings are bespoke and the meet & greet process is 100% FREE (covers multiple M&G's if they're needed). All of my rates are carefully calculated; there may be wiggle room for reduction, depending on the type of booking & your proximity to my home location (little to no fuel usage). I hold an up to date DBS Check, as it's a basic requirement for my current job, outside of Rover. I haven't, nor will ever, take more than one booking at a time! So rest assured that your pet/s will get my full attention! Last September, I took a short break when I moved into my first home with my partner. Now all settled, I'm back caring for your 4 legged friends! (I couldn't stay away for long, I missed this too much)! I'm currently undertaking five (animal related), Level 3 Courses (OFQUAL regulated): Advanced Award in Pet Care and Walking for Professionals, Animal Welfare & Licensing Inspector, Canine Nutrition, Canine Behaviour & Welfare, and Carnivore Studies (Big Cats)! I was a volunteer at K9 Cares Doggy Daycare for over a year (2016/2017) before I started working full-time. From volunteering, I gained valuable experience into the care of dogs and their individual needs. I love everything about caring for canines; I don't even mind the messy side! I had two family dogs in my teen years and now own a Sable German Shepherd named Nova! One of my good family friends is a KC Assured 5* Breeder for Fox Red Labradors who has a Level 3 Qualification in K9 Behaviour. I have spent much time around her and her 12 dogs; by doing this, I learned a great deal! When it comes to cats.. I've had them all my life and have cared for many over the years, so I am very clued up on their needs. I have my own kitten, named George. He was, quite literally, born in a barn. A taming process was needed to get him used to humans. After that, gradual introductions to my German Shepherd. All went by very successfully & he is the most loving cat you could ever own! Both dog & cat are best friends! If you're looking for a genuine, experienced & insured animal lover to provide pet care, please give me a message. I will be happy to arrange a date for a meet & greet with myself! ☆IMPORTANT INFO ABOUT MY SERVICES☆ \\// ● *POLITE NOTE*: Please be aware that I require a meet & greet with all potential clients and their pets before doing a booking. If you've got a unique situation where a meet & greet is not possible then pop me a message and I'll be happy to discuss!* ● INSURANCE:-->> For an extra layer of protection, I have now got full Pet Business Insurance through 'Protectivity' (12/05/24). So, along with 'The Rover Guarantee', there is peace of mind for you & myself. In the unlikely event something does go wrong, every aspect is fully covered. Evidence can be provided upon request! ● GROOMING:-->> This is a new service I am offering for £10 per dog. I will only be grooming short/long coat breeds, with fur. I also do poodle breeds, with hair, but this will NOT include any trimming. I have no "notable" special experience, but I groom my German Shepherd by myself. The following will apply to your pet: full brush/deshed, bath (somewhere at your home), towel dry, claw trim (if needed), followed by another brush. NOTE: You will need to provide the grooming equipment specific to your dog. ● DROP-INS/DOG WALKING: -->> I work full time, but please give me a message and we can work out hours and availability (my job is flexible). As I've got a dog myself, as long as your dog is fine with big, excitable breeds I'll be happy to bring my dog along to socialise them (if this is something you request & ONLY with your permission). A meet & greet between dogs, on neutral ground first, is a MUST. ● HOUSE SITTING: -->> This depends on my availability as I work full-time & have pets of my own. I primarily do drop-ins/dog walks because of this. But I have had requests in the past and certain dates I AM free for pet sitting. So this all depends on availability, but I still want to offer this as a service. So please don't feel hesitant for booking this with me! ● OTHER ANIMALS: -->> I am open to providing care for other animals not listed! Just enquire, we will discuss and if a good match, I will provide a personalised quote! For transparency~ What we get for the 'Rover Fee', explained by me: Rover provides a platform for Self-Employed Pet Minders, like myself, to work through. Each & every booking is fully protected by 'The Rover Guarantee', please search this up on Rover.com for more information (carers pay the same service fee as owners). You receive a 'card' from myself after each booking. A situational example could be if you've booked two drop-ins for a dog/multiple dogs on the same day you'll receive a seperate card for each booked slot). This includes, the time the booking was started/completed, booking time duration, photos, how many times they've: gone for a wee/poo, drank & eaten, and a fully detailed summary of how each booking went. ● Services I don't provide: -->> Dog Boarding & Doggy Daycare. REASON: By law, anyone who provides these services in the UK must hold an up to date, valid license for their home to be eligible. This is obtained from your local council. I do not currently have a license and will not be applying for one anytime soon.
