Pet care experience
I've always enjoyed the company of dogs, caring for and training my own since I was a kid. Now I share my home with one dog, two guinea pigs, two gerbils, a tortoise, and a spider. Plus my partner and a couple of teenagers. We're often asked to pet sit for friends, colleagues, and family. We have recently hosted holidays for: a puppy, two regular guinea-pig visitors, gerbils and hamsters, and cat sitting pop-ins for our friends in the village. But there's always room for one more, so we'll treat your dog like one of the family.

Safety, trust & environment
Our garden is securely fenced front and back, and your dog will have the run of downstairs and the garden and my own dog for company. At night the dog/s sleep downstairs in the sitting room or kitchen, with plenty of comfy places to choose from, or we can find a cosy corner to put your dog's favourite bed in.

Information Harriet W. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know about any special needs or behaviours before the stay. We will need to meet beforehand to check we are a good fit, and that your dog and my dog will get on well together.
A typical day
On a typical day we get up around 6.30, let the dogs out into the garden and have a cup of tea. We’ll do an early on-lead walk around the block, a lunchtime walk with off-lead running (if appropriate for your dog), and an evening walk around the block. In between we have toys and chews, and plenty of cosy sleeping areas.

Availability
I work from home on Mondays, Fridays, and I'm free all weekend, so long weekends are ideal for boarders. However, with more notice we can arrange care throughout the week, so get in touch and let me know what you need.
