Before I agree to sit a dog I need to know some basic information. Can they be left alone for a couple of hours at a time? Do they require any medication? Do they have any fears or problematic behaviours that I should be aware of? The more information you give in the original request the quicker response you'll get. Dogs with separation anxiety or lots of other special needs will be boarded at puppy rate regardless of their age, and can only be accepted if I've got no walks or other bookings for the day.

I can walk your dogs in their familiar neighbourhood, so they get to stick to their routines or maybe try something new, depending on your wishes. If your dog stays at our house they'll have our senior dog for company, a small fenced garden, multiple parks nearby and a chance to see some farm animals on walks too. For fit and energetic dogs I can provide proper walks with a faster pace, maybe let them chase a ball or just run around and play in a safe area, or in a long line if needed. Puppies, older dogs and any dogs who don't appreciate that kind of a walk get to have a good sniff or do other relaxing activities. We've got a good selection of activating toys, slow feeders, puzzle games etc. for mental enrichment indoors when needed. I'm used to walking reactive dogs too, so if your dog isn't everyone's friend I'll do my best to keep them away from strange dogs and other triggers.
