Information Garth W. would like to know about your pet

Let me know about any/all of your pets needs! I am happy to work with any animal no matter what their requirements, so please do just let me know and I will accommodate.

A typical day

It depends on the pet! But I believe that all animals need and deserve enrichment beyond their regular care - as such, I am happy to train them, provide enrichment toys, and have an extra round or 5 of fetch!

Animal-loving sitter with experience from puppies

Pet care experience

Hi! I'm a passionate animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for a wide range of pets. I’ve looked after: 2 Cockapoos – one from a puppy, and one with anxiety-related additional needs (my cockapoos are shared ownership with my ex partner, and if your dog is uncomfortable with other dogs I will always ensure that they are elsewhere!) 3 Syrian hamsters 3 cats – including kittens I’ve helped raise and settle into their new homes In addition to personal experience, I’m a keen researcher in my work from home day job—so you can trust that I’ll always take the time to properly understand and follow your pet’s individual needs and routines. I also have: Experience raising puppies/kittens and helping with early socialisation Regularly participated in dog training (obedience, sniffer work, and rally) to a "gold" standard A calm, patient, and kind approach—especially with nervous or high-energy pets Every animal deserves to be cared for in a way that suits them. I’ll work closely with you to make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and happy while you're away. I’d love to meet your furry family—feel free to get in touch with any questions! All the best, Garth
