Safety, trust & environment

I live on the edge of Bath and there are multiple walks and parks around me. I have experience of small and large dogs, cats and other pets. I am easy going, reliable and trustworthy. I have a small van and am able travel across Bath and surrounding area, to transport to walk area. I have secure seat belt connections for dogs and room for a favourite bed or blanket. Initial meet and greet we can discuss what is required and care aspect of your pet.

Information Ian H. would like to know about your pet

Meet and greet before to meet in best environment for your pet or take you and your dog on initial walk to reassure you both I'm the right person to choose. Let me know what is important to your dog and yourself when in my care. I have good lead control and understand tone for commands to ensure a safe time with your best friend. Can take treats if appropriate and you wish to supply. Will clear any dog mess using supplied bags or can use my my stock of bags. Will pay close attention to any medical needs or diet requests. I know how important and secure you must feel with anyone looking after your pet.

A typical day

Having lived in Bath area most of my life I know the parks and walks well. Experience walking small to large dogs I will pay attention to what you tell me is good and right for your dog. Listening to what you and pet require I will give full attention to ensure a safe happy environment is maintained After initial settling period I can walk your dog to a favourite spot or if adventurous a new walk or park. If appropriate a favourite toy or ball can be brought to reassure and add a bit of normality. I can provide any dog mess bags. Having a ramp in the rear of my van, means your dog will easily get in if they are infirm or elderly. I have various secure points for your dog and safe transport. If you have a travel cage ample room is available.

Pet care experience

Like a lot of people I have had pets all my life. So I understand how important it is to feel your pet is cared for whilst they are in my care. I have had neighbours, friends and family rely on me to watch, feed or walk their pets. Now I am on this app and enjoying the experience as one of my incomes after Severance from my previous job.
