Availability

I work part-time from home with flexible hours, so I will mostly be able to offer flexibility around times and provide last-minute care, where required. I prefer to offer my services in Shrewsbury due to childcare commitments, but please feel free to ask, as in some cases I may be able to cover other areas.

Information Helen G. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any special needs or behaviours that I can account for, or if there is anything in particular that fits in with their routine that would help them to feel happy and settled.

A typical day

A typical day revolves around providing stimulation, attention, and exercise. This includes taking them for a walk and offering mental stimulation through play. Throughout the day they will receive ample attention and affection, and in the evening, they are provided with dinner and a final walk before bedtime.

I can assure a stress-free experience by maintaining open communication with you, providing updates, photos, and answering any questions or concerns promptly. My flexible schedule allows for individualised attention and personalised care, catering to your dog’s unique needs.
