On a Friday, I am usually up and at the gym for 8am although during dog stays, I would replace this time with heading out for a walk. I work from home so regular toilet breaks, snuggles and time outside is offered throughout the day. During the evening I would go out with the dog for a long walk and have an evening in with lots of cuddles! During the weekend, I usually drive out for a long walk and a picnic so would love to have a dog for company!

Your dog will be cared for as if it is my own. Ralph had complete run of the house and came everywhere with me so the same treatment would be standard. Rules are respected though so if you don’t want your dog on furniture or upstairs, I wouldn’t allow this.

Information Emily W. would like to know about your pet

No breed preference. Can cater walks for any size of dog or if you have a dog that just likes to be by your side as I rarely left Ralph alone. I view animals as part of my family!

A typical day

I aim for two 45 minute walks per day and I occasionally run so if your dog enjoys running I would take him/ her with me. I try to avoid livestock during walks so we can allow a wander off lead. My favourite places are woodland walks but I go anywhere and everywhere!

Pet care experience

I was born into a pet loving family with 2 rabbits, 2 chickens, 2 dogs, 5 horses and a cat. I am used to caring for animals, have had pets my whole Life but now just have a kitten called Cindy. My dog, Ralph sadly passed away a few years ago, he was a beagle who loved other dogs and my cat at the time, Rory. My sister has a young golden lab who is very energetic and bouncy and I sit him from time to time along with friends dogs', which is what made me want to join. Only available for 1 dog at a time. Not available all day everyday but as long as I know when beforehand, I can make sure I am free. I have a gated and secure garden and great walks locally.

Emily took great care of Ernie which was evident in the happy boy we picked up! Thank you for looking after him so well. He obviously enjoyed himself.

Emily was so kind to have Fergus at such short notice. Once again he was exhausted when we collected him after his fun afternoon. Feel totally relaxed and happy knowing Fergus is being given such good care. Thanks again Emily
