Animal lover, animal-centred, easy going, flexible
Pet care experience
I am from a family of animal lovers. I grew up with many animals including dogs, cats, rabbits, rats and parots, many of which were rescues. I have cared for dogs from a puppy to adulthood and understand that all animals require love, care, attentiveness, exercise, stimulation and a healthy diet to be anxiety free and content. I have trained puppies and understand the need for consistency, patience and positive reinforcement. I am experienced in taking care of senior dogs and understand they may need a 'little and often' approach to exercise and additional mental stimulation to maintain their cognitive capacity and quality of life. I love cuddles and affection and I am a confident animal handler. I find that animal company motivates me and I believe they add to my own quality of life. Its not just what I can give them but what they give me. :-)
Reviews
Huw and Elysia were amazing. From the start they made Archie feel at home, and took him for some lovely local walks. They kept us updated with lots of photos, and Archie seemed really happy. He slept well and got lots of fuss and cuddles, which he loves. I would definitely use them again.

Safety, trust & environment
I live in a two bedroomed house with a decent sized garden with plenty of space for animals to roam and run around. I am close by to lots of dog friendly places to walk - we are right on the edge of Birmingham meaning that I am a short walk or drive from places including the Lickey hills, Waseley Hills and many reservoirs. I regularly take care of my in-laws family dog, a 13 year old labrador collie cross and she is very calm and happy here. I can provide a quiet and calm environment as I have no children. My partner is an animal lover too. We are both very attentive people and will ensure your animal is the centre of all of our decisions whilst they are with us and beyond!
Home
Information Huw D. would like to know about your pet
If your pet has any additional needs it doesn't bother me just let me know and I'll be happy to accommodate. If a dog has any special needs im happy to accommodate that too. In the past my family has had elderly dogs with physical issues such as arthritis and have even had a blind cockerspanial called "Monty" who was blind. If there is anything in particular that your dog doesn't like or may make them anxious just let me know.
A typical day
I love to stimulate dogs physically and mentally. Happy to take the dogs on long and short walks depending on their individual needs. Love to play games with the dogs like fetch or tug of war and enjoy running in the park with them if they enjoy that. Then in down time I enjoy chilling with dogs and have no problem with them having a fuss or hug and I allow the dogs on the sofa or bed im not bothered by dog hair it can always be cleaned up!
