I have a 'higher standards' council licence rating (you won't find many on Rover who can say that!). My rates may seem slightly more than others on Rover but this is because I need to consider tax, insurance, licence fees and paying for things like vet approved disinfectant to keep your dog safe as well as my ongoing training. I am fully insured for boarding, sitting, transportation as well as basic grooming. I collaborate with Betty and berties groomers and can transport your dog here for a groom whilst you have your holiday I have a certificate in dog first aid, safety and basic grooming. I regular update my canine CPD. I am aiming to complete my canine health/behaviour course by the end of the year but have good knowledge of dogs especially owning a rescue. I would always keep a close eye on your animal whilst they are in my care. Being a nurse & counsellor, I am very observant and vigilant to your dogs emotions and of course am trusting. I provide a 'care plan' for every dog monitoring their diet/fluid intake, toileting, behaviours, enrichment. I am able to give tablets or creams meds as needed. I have vast human dementia experience so feel I could manage confused pooches too. I'll carefully follow any instructions you leave me re diet etc. Ada is better chicken free so I understand the importance of allergies. An enhanced DBS certificate is available on request. If I needed to leave your dog at home (quite rare), I use a camera in the kitchen to keep monitoring for any significant agitation and leave the radio on the drown out some outside sounds. I tend to leave radio 2 overnight downstairs to help dogs settle to. I am happy to keep up with any training your dog needs especially if they are young.
