Highlights
Pet care experience
Friendly & energetic dog care
I’ve always lived with dogs - childhood pets, dog sitting when studying and now having my own dogs. Currently we have a young setter whom we trained from a puppy. I have experience in looking after a range of dogs but the majority of my experience is with spaniels (my previous dog was a springer spaniel), retrievers and Labrador’s and their needs. I’m used to high energy dogs who need lots of walking and game playing. I have experienced first hand the transformation in a dog once it has sufficient exercise and stimulation, so will always look to ensure that your dog has enough walking and play. Our setter has suffered from separation anxiety, so I very aware of the challenges of this & the resulting behaviour. We have worked hard to overcome this & with the right routine in place can now leave him for a couple of hours. We are also working very hard with his recall & making progress, I have honestly found training a ongoing personal achievement and has strengthened our bond hugely. With active dogs, in and out of puddles etc. I am very aware regular brushing is essential to keep their coat untangled and clean. Personally I think this is a lovely way to spent sometime with your dog when they are calm in the evening and happy to spend time with your dog in this way.

Ratings and reviews
Rolo stayed for one day with Felicity for the first time today and she was fantastic! Caring, attentive and brilliant with him. We will definitely be booking again. Highly recommend.
Felicity went above and beyond to care for my Molly at short notice. Molly was so well looked after. Felicity and her family were wonderful and clearly gave her lots of love, along with lovely Ash. Molly came home absolutely knackered, which says it all! Super appreciate the photos too ✨ Thank you so much and would love for Molly to return again 🥰
Fantastic, Dylan was very happy to go out for a walk with Felicity and Ash, her English Setter.
Dylan had a lovely first play date with Felicity and Ash.
Felicity has always been brilliant around my spaniels, she is calm, caring and sensitive to their needs. My current spaniel can be reactive to dogs but she is always ensuring the environment isn’t making one dog feel uncomfortable. She ensures that all their needs are met. Her lovely English setter is an absolute credit to all her training, and is a gentle loveable boy.
Felicity has been amazing with our 2 year old English Setter, who absolutely loves the outdoors. Our dog struggles with pulling on the lead, recall and being overly excited by other people, dogs and anything that moves! Felicity is very experienced with dogs, our dog adores her, and I trust her completely to keep our dog safe and under control. Felicity understands our dog's grooming needs and I've gotten lots of helpful tips and information from her!

Schedule
I’m work from home part time supporting my partners carpentry business. I have two children (4&7) so have school runs twice a day. I’m around the majority of the day otherwise. I walk our dog after school drop off for at least an hour, we go to local open spaces or drive to the country parks. I will take him for another shorter walk either before pick up or later in the day once my partner is home. I'm happy to take additional walks if this is needed for your dog or play scent games in the house & when I'm home they are always free to go in the garden.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have a two year old friendly neutered male English Setter in my home. He likes all dogs and if they are energetic he will play with them. If they are senior he respects this and is gentle. I walk with him for over an hour a day and often go for runs. I can walk other dogs with or without him. If your dog was in our home, they would be in the same space as him on the ground floor and in the garden. Dogs are not allowed upstairs in the bedrooms but provide beds in each room, so they are able to to be with me throughout the day & are not left alone. Whilst the dog will never be left alone around the children (and my children have been around dogs all their lives), it will need to be happy to be in a family environment. Our setter (like a Labrador) is happy to try and eat anything! During mealtimes, our dog and any visiting dogs will be put in a different room. He is a counter surfer and so surfaces and tables are clear of food aside from mealtimes, so they do not get anything that might upset their tummies. I'm very vigilant on keeping any non dog friendly foods well away (raisins, chocolate etc.)
Pets
A typical day
We will go out to open spaces which provide plenty of stimulation and socialisation (if needed). Happy to engage in ball games, recall practice, tug or war! or scentwork if you dogs enjoys these activities. If you and your dog are comfortable with it, I'm happy to walk off-lead in spaces that are away from the road.
