Schedule- I will stick to your dogs routine. I work from home so have a degree of flexibility but will need to pop out during the week to care for my own dog. Weekends are more flexible.

About Fay D.

Safety, trust & environment
I will stick to your own dog's routine as much as possible, including meal times, walks and where they sleep. Regular updates will be provided.
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. 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.

DBS checked ✔️ | Fully insured through Protectivity ✔️ | Canine Communication course completed ✔️ Hi, I'm Fay! 😊 I provide reliable, loving house sitting and drop-in visits so your pets can stay happy and relaxed in the comfort of their own home while you're away. Whether you're going on holiday, away for the weekend or just need an extra helping hand, I'll care for your pets as if they were my own. I live in Gloucester with my fiancé Jamie and our energetic 3-year-old Brittany. Owning a high-energy working breed has given me hands-on experience with canine behaviour, enrichment and breed-specific needs, and I'm passionate about continuing to learn so I can provide the very best care for every dog I meet. ⭐ Why choose 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 ✔️ Experienced caring for dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters and birds ✔️ Respectful, trustworthy and tidy in your home 🐾 Every booking includes: 📸 Regular photo and video updates 🐕 Walks and play tailored to your dog's needs 🧩 Enrichment such as snuffle mats, lick mats and puzzle toys (with your permission) 🏡 Keeping your pet's normal routine as consistent as possible ❤️ Plenty of love, companionship and fuss (as much as they enjoy!) 🚗 Safe travel using dog guards, seatbelts and crates where appropriate 🏠 House Sitting I'll follow your pet's usual routine as closely as possible so they feel safe and settled while you're away. Please note that standard house sitting doesn't include continuous care. I may need to leave for short periods (up to 4 hours) for appointments, errands or to care for my own dog. If your dog can't be left alone or requires constant supervision, this may be possible for an additional fee—please get in touch before booking to discuss your requirements. 👋 Meet & Greets I like to arrange a meet and greet before every first booking. It's a great chance for us to get to know each other, go through your pet's routine and make sure everyone feels comfortable before your booking begins. 🧍 A quick note about Jamie Jamie also offers dog sitting on Rover and is fully verified with his own reviews. He may occasionally help with a booking, but this will always be discussed with you beforehand. He'll usually join 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 new. I'll keep you updated throughout your booking, treat your home with respect and care for your pets with the same love and attention I'd want for my own. I'd love to meet you and your furry family! 🐾
Reviews
Fay was amazing from the moment I contacted her regarding our booking needs. She provided a full list of her services and responded to messages promptly! At our meet and greet, she spoke through her experiences which put us at ease. She interacted well with our dog and made her feel very comfortable (she’s a very anxious dog). Fay messaged us leading up the booking to check in which was lovely and reassuring. On the day, Fay arrived promptly and greeted our dog beautifully. She provided regular photo and video updates throughout the day, which was great. As we don’t leave our dog often due to her anxiety, we were very impressed with Fay, her professionalism and friendliness. We would highly recommend Fay and will definitely be booking again if needed. ☺️
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 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!
