Safety, trust & environment
As a pet owner myself who has to find people to leave my own dog with, I know how important it is to find someone you can 100% trust, so you can fully relax knowing your pet is well cared for. I only use positive, reward based training. Dogs are the kindest souls and deserve that treatment in return. I have experience volunteering with dog trainers so have learnt about dog body language. I'm calm and friendly and can read dogs well. I will provide as many or as little updates as you want regarding your pet. Happy to take videos/pics and text to keep you updated. Equally happy to say no news is good news and allow you to enjoy your time away or day out. Please let me know your dogs routine, where they sleep, and cues for behaviour, what they like/dislike and so on.
Information Fay D. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know any special needs your dog has, his or her general routine including walks, feeding schedule, whether they're allowed treats, fave toys and games, where they like to sleep and and major likes and dislikes. Also what words and cues they know would be useful.
A typical day
Having a lively young dog, I have no choice but to keep him entertained during the day with different physical and mental activities! Typically I will take breaks throughout the day to provide mental stimulation and then we will go out at lunchtime and in the evening for walks. Any dog that I care for will join in with these activities. I can provide lick mats (please advise of any allergies), snuffle mats, filled treat balls, filled kongs and similar toys, tugger toys. I also like to do bits of training, scent games and will walk on lead/long lead in nearby fields.

Promo: £15 off first time Rover bookings. Insured via Protectivity. DBS checked. Can provide link if needed. Canine communication course completed ✔️ Hi, I’m Fay 😊 I offer drop-ins and dog sitting at your house and I’d love to look after your pet/s. 🐶😺 🏡I live in Gloucester with a playful, friendly and very energetic 3 year old Brittany and my fiancé Jamie. Our dog is full of energy and has taught me a lot about dogs, mental and physical exercise and breed specific needs. 🏘 I am clean and tidy and will look after and respect your home as if it is my own. 👋 We always like to meet dogs and owners first to ensure everyone is comfortable and to get to know you and your pets better. It also gives you and us an opportunity to ask questions 🧍♂️Jamie also does dog sitting and may help if I can't but this will always be discussed with you first. He has a profile and reviews on here too and is fully verified. He will usually come along to meet and greets. 🚗 My car is kitted out with a dog guard in the boot and I have spare dog seatbelts. Jamie's car has two dog crates in the back, but we will only take them in car if you are happy with that. Usually this is just to take them to a different walk somewhere. 💻 I work from home with a flexible schedule, which means I can give your dog plenty of attention and care throughout the day. I will ask to use your wi-fi if I am staying at your house whilst working. Why book with me? ✅️ DBS checked ✅️ Recently completed a Canine Communication course. Really interested in dog behaviour and dog body language so want to train in this as much as I can. ✅️ Currently completing a first aid course. ✅️ Volunteer experience at puppy and dog training classes (I can reinforce training and teach basic commands and help to keep your dog's mind busy. A tired dog is a happy dog!). I have also completed four training courses with my own dog, as well as ad hoc gundog training, scentwork and mantrailing. ✅️ Experience with a wide variety of dogs: working breeds, high energy dogs, greyhounds, spaniels, French bulldogs, german shepherd, puppies, seniors, and anxious dogs ✅️ Advocate of positive, reward-based training ✅️ Lifelong animal lover (I’ve cared for everything from rabbits and guinea pigs to racing pigeons, hamsters, cats and, of course, dogs!) What I provide: ✅️ Reliable, trusted care of your dog in your home. I will provide regular updates with pictures and videos. 🐕🦺🐾 Dog walks either around your or my local area or further afield depending on requirements. 🤗 Dogs will get treated with love and affection. Lots of cuddles included if that is what your dog likes 😊 Happy for them to sleep in the same bed too. 🐶 Enrichment toys (lick mats, snuffle mats, treat puzzles) to keep dogs happy and stimulated, if ok with you. 🚗 Secure travel with dog guards, dog seatbelts and crates in our cars 📆 Flexible availability: evenings, weekends, and most weekdays. I know how much trust it takes to leave your dog with someone and even let them stay in your house, so I want to make sure you are as relaxed as possible. Please ask any questions, and happy to send regular photo updates so you can relax knowing your pup is happy, safe, and having fun! 🐾
Reviews
Fay D. cancelled a booking 3 days before it was scheduled to begin.

Fay did a great job looking after Mokosz during her drop-in visits. She kept me updated, sent photos and a detailed report from both visits, which was really reassuring. Mokosz was calm and happy when I got back home, and it was clear she had been well looked after. Fay followed all instructions perfectly and even made thoughtful decisions where needed. I’d definitely be happy to book with her again. Highly recommended!

Fay was great! Agreed at short notice, came to meet Cooper before the sit and provided loads of info during the sit. Put my mind at ease and sent loads of lovely photos. Can highly recommend

Thanks Faye, great that Rusty was won around by you (and the treats!)
