I have grown up with a great variety of pets in my life that I have helped care for over the years; ferrets, chickens, guineafowl, bees, a donkey, alpacas, budgies, cats, and most importantly, dogs. Admittedly the hay day of most of these animals was whilst I was a child but I have still developed a unique patience and familiarity with a wide range of animals. My family has always had dogs growing up so but since starting my work as a sitter I have grown a lot in my understanding and appreciation for them. Over the years I have had the pleasure to get to know lots of interesting and wonderful personalities and breeds. With drop ins your pet will receive care specific to their individual personalities and your requests. If they love to play then they will enjoy rigorous games of fetch and tug-o-war. If they are a cuddly dog then they will get premium cuddles. Or if they simply enjoy distanced company then I will happily play along and give them the aloof company they desire. My pet walking cv ranges from dogs to alpacas, though admitted there are few other species in between. But let us focus on dogs for now. I hope to provide great exercise to suit your pet’s needs whilst in my care. It is worth mentioning that I cannot accept big dogs who are not trained on the lead. I am unable to accept aggressive or reactive dogs. I need to meet the dog prior to taking them into my care in order to fully assess whether they are suitable for me to look after. As you can see, I have a dog of my own. My dog is kept up to date with vaccinations, worming, flea and tick treatments and I expect the same of your dog. During a meet and greet I require evidence of their vaccination record in order to keep my pet safe. Obviously, your dog will have to be friendly with other dogs. If you have any questions about my dog then please feel free to ask. And lastly it should be noted that my house is a coach house (much like a flat but it is a house) with a small garden that is only appropriate for bathroom breaks or lounging out in the sunshine- I don’t have the space for your pet to properly run around. I am currently available full time to look after your pets, please refer to my calendar to see when I am booked up/unavailable to care for you dog. -I have a fenced garden which should keep your dog contained under normal circumstances. -Dogs will not be let off the lead during walks. -Dogs will be locked in my kitchen at night as it is my most dog proof-able room. All food will be put away, sides will be cleared of any hazard, cupboards will be taped shut. The kitchen is next to the bedroom so we are likely to listen out for any obvious signs of distress in the night.
