Pet care experience

Owner of a Vizsla, lover of all dogs! 🧡

I have had a family dog all my life and have recently moved out and bought my own dog (a female Vizsla called Ruby!) I grew up with 3 different pet labradors and regularly pet sit for my brothers Labrador so know this breed very well. However, I have also had experience in pet sitting other breeds! Owning a Vizsla gives me an insight into more “complex” working dog breeds. I understand how some dogs do not tire from physical exercise alone and need the mental stimulation to settle down. I have also spent a long time teaching my dog a solid recall and loose lead etiquette. When it comes to playing and relaxing indoors, I am very open minded! I have a “dogs allowed on furniture and beds” kind of household, but will obviously respect those who wish their dogs to remain in their own spaces and areas :) That being said, I’m happy to have a snuggle on the sofa with any dogs who wish and a play in the garden. I do not have kids, but I do share my house with my dog Ruby, as mentioned, and she is a typical energetic young Vizsla. She may be a little “too much” for very old dogs, very tiny timid dogs and other dogs that may be reactive or have a tendency to resource guard. Whilst she is very friendly, she does like to play and i understand if this isn’t a suitable environment for all dogs. Ruby is also not currently neutered due to age and seasons etc. I’d always encourage a meet and great before any daycare sessions! Happy to talk through any concerns you may have or answer any questions. Above all, I adore dogs of all breeds and I’m very happy to talk, meet and get to know your dog before any daycare/boarding stays. I’m also happy to take on any awkward feeding schedules and oral administered medicine (please not I am NOT medically trained with animals however).

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced garden and live on a quiet street in ickleton. I have a large kitchen, downstairs “walk in” style shower room, and comfy sofa that dogs are welcome to roam on. I have a friendly Vizsla to keep your dog entertained! I have a car so can offer pick up/drop offs for an extra cost if needed. I have loads of beautiful walks on our doorstep, including rivers to paddle in, quiet cattle-free fields to throw a ball in and quiet streets to practise any loose-lead walking.

Holly has looked after my 2 year old dog many many times and treats her like she would her own dog. I always feel very confident and comfortable in her ability to care for Mocki and she always sends pupdates throughout the day and more importantly - Mocki loves her!! Never have a worry when Holly is looking after her.

Please do let me know if your dogs have any special requirements! I will be happy to adapt my daily routines to fit most dogs needs, but please be aware i do have my own dog that lives at my house and is not crate trained, so therefore i am unable to take on any in-tact males or reactive dogs. I’d probably also advise against really old dogs who may get bothered by a younger, bouncy dog. My dog is gentle with small dogs but she does love to bark and play so i’d recommend confident, playful small dogs.
