Pawsitively Perfect Care – Your Dog’s New Best Fri
I’ve had dogs in my life since I was 10 years old, so caring for them comes naturally to me. Over the years, I’ve experienced all stages of a dog’s life — from energetic puppies to gentle senior dogs — and I’ve learned how to adapt my care to meet their changing needs. I have a deep understanding of canine behaviour, routine, and comfort, and I take pride in providing a safe, loving environment where dogs feel relaxed and secure. I’ve cared for senior dogs with mobility issues, medication needs, and age-related health concerns, and I always approach this with patience, attentiveness, and compassion. As a healthcare professional, I’m confident in recognising subtle changes in behaviour or health, which can be especially important for older pets. I treat every dog like a member of the family, and my goal is always to give them the same love and care I give to my own Cockapoo.

Schedule
As a full-time professional during the week, I focus my pet care services around weekends — when I can give your dog my full attention in a calm, relaxed environment. My own Cockapoo is a big part of my daily life, so I’m used to balancing routine, exercise, and affection — and I bring that same level of care to every dog I look after. On weekends, I’m fully available for daytime sitting, walks, and overnight stays, making sure your pet feels comfortable, safe, and well looked after while you’re away or enjoying a break. I also offer occasional evening availability during the week for walks or check-ins, depending on location and my work rota. Whether I’m caring for your dog in my home or visiting them in yours, you can trust that they’ll be treated like one of the family — with a warm, secure environment and lots of tail wags guaranteed.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Your dog will be welcomed into a calm, dog-friendly environment where they’re treated like one of the family. My home is clean, secure, and thoughtfully pet-proofed — with no access to hazards, and always supervised playtime. I stick to familiar routines and ensure each dog gets plenty of exercise, rest, and positive attention. I only take in a small number of dogs to ensure each one gets the love and care they deserve, alongside gentle socialisation with my Cockapoo (if appropriate). I can easily crate your dog if required.
Pets
A typical day
Keeping dogs active, happy, and mentally stimulated is something I genuinely enjoy — and I love making sure each pet in my care has a fun, fulfilling experience. I’m lucky to have a large field just a short walk from my home, as well as some beautiful nearby walking areas that are perfect for relaxed strolls or energetic adventures, depending on your dog’s needs. Whether it’s a game of fetch in the open space or a calm walk through nature, I make sure every outing is safe, enjoyable, and suited to their energy level. For dogs who enjoy quieter time, I offer plenty of cuddles, enrichment games, and brain-stimulating toys at home. I also like to incorporate simple training exercises (with your permission) to keep their minds active and reinforce positive behaviour. Every pet is different, so I tailor our time together to match their personality — always making sure they feel loved, stimulated, and totally at ease.
