Pet care experience

Home-from-home care & happy paws 🐾

I have 5+ years of experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes and personalities, from short stays to long-term care, with my longest stay being 6 months. I also grew up on a farm surrounded by animals, so being hands-on with them has always been second nature to me — from dogs and cats to rabbits, chickens and horses… I’ve even helped deliver a calf or two! 😂🐄 I’m very comfortable helping dogs settle in and making my home feel like their home away from home. I have a large, fully enclosed garden with plenty of space to safely play and explore, and I always try to follow their usual routine as closely as possible. Whether they’re happiest out walking, playing all day or curled up having plenty of fuss, I take the time to get to know each individual personality. Your pet’s comfort and wellbeing always come first and they’ll be treated as if they were my own. I also send plenty of photo and video updates throughout their stay, so you can relax knowing they’re happy, settled and in loving hands 🤎🐾

Gabi took great care of my dog Daisy while we were away. Lots of walks, playtime and snuggles were had. I enjoyed all the videos and pictures that she sent me. We will definitely be using her again :)

Schedule

At the moment, my schedule is fully open and extremely flexible, so I can dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. I’m available throughout the week for boarding, house sitting, walks and drop-in visits, including longer stays with no issue at all — whether you need care for a weekend, a couple of weeks or an extended period. 🐾 Having an open schedule means I can work around your pet rather than expecting them to fit around me. I’m happy to follow their usual walking and feeding times, routines and little habits, with plenty of playtime, cuddles and company throughout the day While they’re in my care, their routine becomes part of mine 🤍🐾

Safety, trust & environment

Your pet’s safety, comfort and happiness always come first. I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding times, walks, medication where required and any individual routines, boundaries or little quirks I should know about. I’m very attentive and will always take the time to help your pet feel comfortable and settled 🤍 My home is safe and secure with a large, fully enclosed garden, giving dogs plenty of space for supervised outdoor time, play and toilet breaks throughout the day. I never assume every dog has the same needs — their routine, personality and any instructions you give me will always be respected For house sitting and drop-ins, I’ll treat your home with the same care and respect as I would my own, while keeping your pet’s environment and routine as familiar as possible I’ll always keep you updated and if I ever notice anything unusual with your pet’s behaviour, appetite or wellbeing, I’ll communicate with you rather than make assumptions 🐾

A typical day

Every day is tailored around your pet’s usual routine, personality and energy levels. We can enjoy walks, playtime, garden adventures, enrichment, cuddles and plenty of attention throughout the day🐾 I love giving dogs time to sniff and explore on walks rather than rushing them, and with my fully enclosed garden there’s plenty of opportunity for safe outdoor play throughout the day. If your dog is more of a professional napper than an adventurer, that’s absolutely fine too 😂 — I’m just as happy having a cosy, relaxed day with plenty of fuss Whether they’re full of energy or happiest curled up beside me, I’ll follow their lead and make their stay feel fun, familiar and genuinely home-from-home🤍🐾

I’d love to know as much as possible about your pet before their stay — their usual routine, feeding and walk times, toilet habits, temperament and all the little things that make them them. 🤍 Please let me know about any medication, allergies or medical needs, as well as separation anxiety, fears, reactivity or behaviours I should be aware of. I’d also love to know their favourite things — toys, treats, sleeping spots, words they recognise and what usually helps them feel comfortable and settled. For longer stays, I’ll also ask for their usual vet details and an emergency contact, just so I have everything I could possibly need. There’s no such thing as too much information! The more you tell me, the better I can understand your pet and keep their time with me feeling as familiar, safe and happy as possible🤍🐾
