Pet care experience

Big love for walks, cuddles and playing

I grew up with dogs of all shapes and sizes, from Jack Russell's to border Collies. In recent years I've looked after dogs for friends and family. I have experience with puppies, dogs with arthritis (requiring pushing in a pram), dogs on restricted diets, administering medication and of course lots of cuddles and walks if welcomed!

I couldn’t recommend Harriet enough! My three boys (cats) are very needy and absolutely love their cuddles, so they’re usually not very happy when we go away. But they were so content and settled with all the love and attention Harriet gave them. It was such a relief knowing they were in such caring hands. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Harriet and will definitely be using her again! 🐾❤️

Harriette looked after my dog so well, she walked him early to avoid the heat, was very considerate of his needs and also kept us regularly updated while we were away. I couldn't have asked for more, he was obviously extremely content throughout his stay. Very happy owners indeed!!

Harriette was really great, she came round to meet our cat ahead of time, and sent us lots of updates while we were away - our cat is usually quite skittish, but from photos she looked really relaxed and comfortable hanging out with Harriette! We’ll be sure to book her again if we have any other trips planned :)

Schedule

I work from home full time so my schedule is completely free and flexible for regular walks and toilets breaks. It's unlikely your pet will be left on their own. I live with my parents who are also dog friendly, they aren't home during the day but are around in the evening, so plenty of company if your pet wants it! Equally, the house is big enough that they can have some alone time if thats their preference.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a medium sized enclosed and secure garden. In the summer the door can be left open for pets to come and go as they please. For boarding requests, I live with my own dog (Otis) who is a 10-year old French basset cross. He's friendly (if uninterested) in other dogs. We can introduce your pet to Otis at the meet and greet and ensure they get on. Otis is used to having other dogs stay and is very chill. He is neutered.

A typical day

I wake up early and like to go for a walk before work. My working hours are generally 8am to 5pm with an hour lunch break 12pm-1pm. Depending on your pets energy levels there's plenty of opportunities for walks throughout day and then in the evening.
