🦮 Growing up, I have always been surrounded by dogs. From the moment I was born, my Mum introduced me to Kim, our Golden Retriever, by setting me in the middle of the floor and letting her introduce herself. We were the best of friends from that moment and that’s truly where my love for dogs began. I love being around dogs and am consistently trusted by family, friends and new pet parents in the UK and abroad in the (current) absence of my own! 🐕 We had the pleasure of taking on a challenging and lovable rescue Labrador, Sam, when I was 11. This is where I started to take on dog care responsibilities beyond just giving love. Whilst I shared the general care of Sam, I took on taking him to obedience and agility classes which really helped me build the foundations for understanding human to dog connection and controlling behaviour. 🐶 Since then, my care for dogs has extended to helping out with family and friends, as well as using dog and house sitting opportunities whilst travelling Canada. Here is an insight into just a few dogs I have been entrusted with: - Caring for Ryleigh for 4 weeks: a reactive rescue who is challenged by new people and other dogs. She is on a strict anxiety and joint medication schedule. Sensory games and stimulation is an important part of her day to day. - Doggy day care for Nebby: a Golden Retriever puppy with boundless energy. Long walks, games in the park and lots of attention keeps Nebby content. - House-sit care for 4 Shih Tzu crosses for two weeks: perfect chaos with this characterful quad. Each of them received equal love and attention and are fabulous company. Walking in pairs was important here!! 🐕‍🦺 The care of your dog is my biggest priority. From feeding and walking, to playing games and cuddling, I do everything I can to allow you to leave your companions with ease. I have experience with separation anxiety and nervous dogs and my experience with different breeds is growing. I have administered oral medication to dogs and cats, and whilst I have not yet had experience with injections, I am very happy to learn. 🏠 I prefer home visits and sits where I feel dogs are more comfortable in their familiar environments. I am a hybrid worker, offering the most flexibility from my days working from home. With enough notice will do my best to flex my working week to accommodate the care for your furry best friend(s). 🫶 Please do get in touch should you wish for your dog to receive my care and love, or for any more questions about my services.
