Information Fay D. would like to know about your pet

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. 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.

Pet care experience

🐾 £15 off your first Rover booking!🐾 DBS checked ✔️ Insured through Protectivity ✔️ Canine Communication course completed ✔️ Hi, I'm Fay! 😊 If you're looking for someone reliable, caring and knowledgeable to look after your dog or cat in the comfort of your own home, I'd love to help. I specialise in house sitting and drop-in visits, providing your pets with plenty of love, companionship and routine while you're away. Whether it's a weekend break, holiday or overnight stay, I'll make sure they're happy, relaxed and well cared for. 😊A little about me 😊 I live in Gloucester with my fiancé Jamie and our energetic 3-year-old Brittany. Owning a high-energy working breed has taught me so much about canine behaviour, enrichment, breed-specific needs and the importance of both mental and physical stimulation I'm passionate about continuing to learn about dogs and love getting to know each dog's individual personality. I'm also very respectful of people's homes and will always treat your property with the same care I'd expect someone to treat mine. 📆Why book with me?📆 ✅ DBS checked ✅ Fully insured through Protectivity ✅ Canine Communication course completed ✅ Currently completing a canine first aid course ✅ Volunteer experience at puppy and dog training classes ✅ Experience with puppies, senior dogs, working breeds, anxious dogs, greyhounds, spaniels, French Bulldogs, German Shepherds, Border Collies and many more ✅ Positive, reward-based approach ✅ Lifelong animal lover with experience caring for dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters and birds 🕙 During your booking 🕙 🐾 Plenty of love, fuss and companionship (as much as your pet enjoys!) 📸 Regular photo and video updates so you can relax while you're away 🐕 Walks and/or play tailored to your dog's needs 🧩 Enrichment activities including snuffle mats, lick mats and puzzle toys (with your permission) 🚗 Safe travel with dog guards, seatbelts and crates where appropriate 🏡 Care that keeps your pet's usual routine as consistent as possible Happy dogs make happy owners, so I always take the time to learn what your dog enjoys and what helps them feel comfortable. 👋Meet & Greets👋 I like to arrange a meet and greet before every new booking. It gives us all a chance to get to know each other, discuss your pet's routine, and make sure everyone feels comfortable before your booking begins. 🏠 House Sitting 🏠 I will stick to your pets routine whilst I am at your house. Please note that continuous care (remaining with your pet at all times) isn't included in standard house sitting. I will need to leave for short periods (up to 4 hours) for appointments, errands or to care for my own dog. If your dog cannot be left alone or requires constant supervision, this can sometimes be arranged for an additional fee - please discuss your requirements before booking so we can find the best option 😊 🧍‍♂️A quick note about Jamie🧍‍♂️ Jamie also offers dog sitting on Rover and is fully verified with his own reviews. He will sometimes help with a booking but this will always be discussed with you beforehand. He'll usually come along to the meet and greet too, so you'll know exactly who is caring for your pets. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pets and your home with someone else. I'll always care for them as if they were my own, keep you updated throughout your booking, and do everything I can to make sure you return to happy, relaxed pets. I'd love to meet you and your furry family! 🐾

Fay was very attentive to Edgar, who was initially shy but was won round by her. Excellent communication with lots of positive updates and photos. We returned to a happy dog! Would definitely call her again and reccommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter.

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!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
