Pet care experience

Animal obsessed, with a dog bias!

I don't know many people more dog-friendly than me! From corgis, to labradors, spaniels and bullies, I have experience in training and looking after a range of different breeds and temperaments. My friends and family know me as the go-to dog sitter and trust that their pet will be well looked after in a relaxed, comfortable and engaging environment. I have no preference for age or personality, if you have a dog, I will love it. ☺️

Safety, trust & environment

I have a 6-foot fenced, fully secure garden that has been home to my previous dogs and also lots of lovely 4-legged visitors. I live spitting distance from miles and miles of beautiful walks. I have also dog and house sat for my friends and family in the past who trust me to take complete care of their environment and fur babies!

I have known Hope for many years and she is the one of the kindest, caring people I know. She loves animals and has grown up with dogs in her family home so is experienced and knowledgeable. She has looked after my dog and my daughter's dog when we have been away or had work commitments. She is always willing to help out with pet sitting for us and I trust her implicitly not only with the responsibilities of walking and feeding them but I also know she gives them lots of attention, love and affection. She will be an absolutely dedicated, reliable and loving carer for anyone's pets.

Hope is extremely conscientious, and will carry out your instructions to the letter and check if she's not sure about anything. She adores animals and has a lovely way with both cats and dogs. I would certainly trust her with my animals again.

Hope has been fantastic looking after our corgi while we're away! She has truly treated him like he's part of the family and I think he doesn't even remember who we are... We get daily updates with pictures and videos, and she's been taking him out on good walks, to the pub, etc., just like if he were at home. He can be a bit funny going on walks without us but she was able to get him going out and happy again. He seems very happy with her and I think he'll be sad to come home, which I think is the best testimonial you can have!

Schedule

Working a 4 day week (2 days from home) means I have plenty of time to dedicate to pets and my work life balance is great! I am a morning person so am always up and out nice and early, since my lovely labrador lolly passed away at the age of 15, I have missed my daily long walks around the Welwyn countryside. I am child-free so do not have any other responsibilities that take up my time.

It would be great to get a rundown of your dog's specific requirements, whether that's things they do or don't enjoy doing, specific behaviours I should know about and how to make them the most comfortable, happiest dog they can be!
